TGCP Chapter 59: The Next Choice
It was a strange sight, though not one that I hadn’t seen before. More than once, I had found myself stuck within a sacred slow-spot when the Great Core’s fields shifted unexpectedly...

The bad-thing closed its mouth around me, and I found myself pulling free from my scale-flesh once more.
And again.
Again.
Again.
My failures - our failu...

The Coreless continued to jabber at one another as I hissed at the fire-water. It bubbled back at me, little bits of itself popping upwards from the depths, but I was no more able to und...

Valera couldn’t help but let a smile creep onto her face. It was only natural, she thought, after everything that had happened in the short while since they had defeated the Flame Sala...

It didn’t take much longer.
With four angry Coreless against one weakened bad-thing - even as strong of a bad-thing as it was - the outcome was already decided. The Coreless were...

Sorry about the delay, just finished up this one and about to write another one to post in a bit. Assuming I don't suddenly go braindead there should be another chapter up fairly soon. 2021-04-10 21:02:20 +0000 UTC View Post
TGCP Chapter 52: Touched By Fire
Ignoring the stone-tendril bad-thing’s corpse as it continued to leak its fluids, I focused, pulling on my reservoirs just as I had in my last life - for now, at least.
I had let...

The Coreless erupted into quiet conversation around me, jabbering on with their unintelligible noises. Still, I waited, allowing them time to prepare for the challenge ahead. I was well ...
2021-04-07 21:37:49 +0000 UTC View PostTGCP Chapter 50: Loyal Minions
The quiet sounds of the Coreless as they followed behind me were pleasing, a welcome difference from my previous life. Then, only the sounds of my own blood had pounded in my ears, mixed...

This was supposed to be Saturday's chapter, but I had some trouble writing it. Sorry for the late upload. On the other hand, it's a bit longer than normal chapters, so hopefully that makes ...

It was over.
There was a point when that became the only conclusion - like when I had been suspended within my threads of red, bleeding out my last as I hung from the Aridae's stri...

My head drooped against the stone, and I almost let it stay there.
Almost.
It would have been easy to let things end there; to say that I had tried my hardest in this life. A...
2021-04-01 23:42:24 +0000 UTC View PostTGCP Chapter 46: A Snake Without A Tail
A line of fire-pain cut across my tail. My blood, blackened by [Poisonous Blood], began to empty out onto the stone behind me. For a moment, I didn't react. I just stare...
2021-03-31 21:21:53 +0000 UTC View PostTGCP Chapter 45: Dying Light
My fangs dripped with fire-pain, but it was bearable now - not comfortable, but it no longer caused my scale-flesh to helplessly dry, nor my mind to cry out. Tiny flames and waves of hea...
2021-03-30 14:19:38 +0000 UTC View PostTGCP Chapter 44: Still Like Stone
I wasn’t sure how long it took for me to awaken, to break away from the bad-dreams that the heat had forced me into.
It was long enough, I knew. Long enough for my scale-flesh to...

I slipped between the wall-cracks as the sounds grew nearer, covering the gap in its surface with a weak illusion; as low on light as I was, it wouldn’t have held up to close scrutiny....

I slipped through the backlines of the gathered bad-things. Cloaked by [Illusion Spark] as I was, I wasn’t even noticed. It was an agonizing sensation, slidin...
2021-03-24 16:42:09 +0000 UTC View PostTGCP Chapter 40: Fangs of Fire-Pain
A wave of fire-pain pressed against my scale-flesh, centering itself on the Great Core’s likeness upon my head-scales. I twisted and writhed, slithering painfully away from the edges o...

The Coreless each made their noises at the sight, competing with the gnashing of the bad-things’ mandibles in a useless competition of noise. Rather than waste my time with that, I rem...

The Coreless turned to look at me as one, taking in the splendor of my accomplishment. I glowed with mana-light, my scale-flesh covered in the same shades as the ore-flesh around which I...

My head bobbed in time with my happiness, independent of my conscious control. The Coreless continued to jabber away at me as I waited for the reservoirs within my scales to fill themsel...

The female-who-was-not-Needle had finally stopped scratching away at my head-scales and making her incessant noises. A few minutes had been enough; her shoulders had slowly lost much of ...

The bad-things swarmed over Will, working their way through the cracks of his ore-flesh skin. Finally, he toppled.
Finally, he died.
I lowered my head in respect for a moment...

The bad-things’ mandibles click-clacked as one, snapping together in shared anticipation. The Coreless shouted, pointing and jabbering at one another even more, as if they were competi...

I balked in horror, pulling as far back as I could without losing grip on my perch. Involuntarily, my tongue slipped from my mouth in a defiant hiss. It, too, was horrified.
“Do ...

I pulled free from who I had been; I pulled free from the fear of returning to what had been. I pulled free from the trappings and chains that held me.
I found my freedom ...
