When Leon walked into the throne room of the Sacred Golden Empire’s Imperial Palace, he did so much as he did about a month before: flanked on both sides first by Elise, Maia, and Valeria, and th...
2022-05-30 15:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostAfter his exchange with the Thunderbird, Leon returned to his meditations and continued reveling in his command of black fire. For hours, he gave all responsible parents everywhere a headache by pl...
2022-05-27 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stared back at Anastasios for a long moment, shocked at the Lord Protector’s appearance. However, after several seconds, propriety kicked back in and he raised a hand in greeting, returning ...

It's been a long time since I last posted one o
2022-05-21 05:07:46 +0000 UTC View PostLeon sighed as he finally collapsed into a seat in his portable villa back in the expedition’s camp.
Following his meeting with the ninth-tier tree sprite and his gaining of a new ‘retai...
The ninth-tier tree sprite looked much like Leon had last seen it: huge, powerful, but rather timid in what body language Leon could parse. However, perhaps as a sign of its growing trust, instead ...
2022-05-18 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostLeon and his party blazed their way down the halls of the research facility, no longer interrupted by Apati. Leon had refused the man’s offer, but given his own feelings, and the informal allianc...
2022-05-16 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon and the tree sprite had an alliance. He didn’t think too hard about it, but neither did he entirely trust the creature. He’d spent too long on the watch out for such beings back in the For...
2022-05-13 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Apati was finished with his threats, the first thing Leon did was to project his magic senses and try to locate his people. If Apati had done anything with them already, then he was going to e...
2022-05-11 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostDespite Leon’s offer to talk, the tree sprites didn’t utter a word—hardly surprising, given none of them had mouths, but he was hoping for some kind of reaction anyway, or at least an attempt...
2022-05-09 15:08:23 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stared at his party, bloodied and broken, as they bravely put up what looked to be a last stand.
And he was in the depths of the research facility, unable to do anything about it.
Valeria wasn’t quite sure how she ought to feel. Looking around, she took great comfort in the fact that, after their wanderings throughout… wherever they were, she and Cassandra had m...
2022-05-04 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostValeria stared in confusion at the sight around her. Just a moment before, she’d been walking through the forest with Leon and the others, and another moment, she was in a dark room with wooden, ...
2022-05-02 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“None of this is usable, I’m afraid,” Apati said as Leon stood up, the emerald the dead technician now inhabited in hand.
“Why not?” Leon asked as he glanced around at the small ha...
Leon’s anxiety for his people was immense, but his curiosity was powerful, too, and with the threat that the roots posed, he couldn’t help but take a moment to investigate them before trying to...
2022-04-27 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon’s blade appeared in his hand in a flash of light and lightning danced across his body.
The rest of his companions were gone, and he hadn’t even sensed it happening. Panic at the unc...
Leon remained vigilant as he and his people followed closely behind the Evergolden warriors. Their truth rings were active, dispelling all illusions before them, but they did nothing to help fend o...
2022-04-22 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostLeon had a wide grin on his face as he made his way back to the camp. The entire demonstration that the manticore had put on had lasted for more than an hour, and with so many powerful eyes watchin...
2022-04-20 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Leon reached what he assumed was the site of a battle between plant giants and the wounded manticore, he immediately used his antimagic again. He didn’t need it to be in use for long, but he...
2022-04-18 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stared out into the forest, his frustration great, as was his anger.
Three days had passed since they’d been attacked by the plant giants, and yet, nothing of real note had happened. T...
2022-04-15 15:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Leon bolted outside, his weapon drawn and armor donned, he found that the horn hadn’t been sounded for nothing: a dozen plant giants, each one twice as large as a stone giant, had surrounded...
2022-04-13 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, hovering in the air, watched as his retinue spread out over the treetops. His entire party was with him, save for Elise and Talal, who’d both chosen to remain back at camp—not that he cou...
2022-04-11 15:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostWhatever had happened to Cassandra to so discombobulate her, it had faded entirely by the time she and Leon had returned to camp. Her anger at having to return, too, had faded, and when they reache...
2022-04-08 15:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostAs Leon flew over the forest, his caution never wavering, he asked Nestor and Xaphan both, [Were you two paying attention to that ambush?]
[No,] Nestor bluntly replied.
[I was,] Xaphan ...
2022-04-06 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, shrouded in shadow, took off into the air. With the wind against his face, running through his feathers, and over his wings, he felt invincible. He was back in his element, soaring through th...
2022-04-04 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe camp Leon’s party made was nearly identical to the one they’d set up the night before—a relatively small palace-tree was flash-grown, and Leon set up the individual modules of his portabl...
2022-04-01 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt was the day after they entered the Prota Forest, and the decision had been made to continue. As they expected, though, the second day proceeded about as eventfully as the first, with their party...
2022-03-30 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon rushed forward as Anshu groaned on the ground. The three members of Cassandra’s escort were not too far away, and as far as Leon could tell, they were alive, but severely injured.

Leon, needing a moment to calm himself down, landed in the center of the blackened crater he’d, in his rage, made. The rest of his retinue descended from the sky and landed around him, and Leon, ...
