2021-04-21 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWith murder in his heart and killing intent pouring from his body, Leon directed Anzu closer to the boxy structure in the center of the massive crater lake. There, he could see Jormun watching with...
2021-04-19 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostDidn't quite manage to get through Ch. 93 this week, I apologize for that. I did get through 91, though! =)
I think I'm finally getting to the parts of the Knight Academy arc that need ...
2021-04-19 01:53:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs Sigebert’s flagship sped up and his battlegroup spilled out into the channel surrounding the crater, Leon flew a little bit lower and pursued Jormun’s ship. The wind howled in his ears and t...
2021-04-16 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWith a dull thwack audible even above the howling winds and pouring rain, one last explosive shell was fired from a mangonel attached to the bow of a Legion war galley. It exploded upon the deck of...
2021-04-14 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe seventh of the Serpentine Isles was largely the same as the sixth: ruined in just about every way, reduced by the forced eruptions of its volcanos into an archipelago of bare, lifeless black st...
2021-04-12 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHaven't done one of these in almost two months. This new word count has been kind of kicking my ass, not going to lie, but I think I've got a good handle on it now, and I knew that I needed t...
2021-04-12 02:36:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe remnants of the first shattered island struck Leon as surreal. The sixth island had certainly been destroyed when Penitent set off the volcanos in its interior, but what was left was a tw...
2021-04-09 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostLeon spent a great deal of time speaking with Anshu, and the man gave Leon exactly what he wanted: an explanation as detailed as he could give of Jormun’s specific plans. And they were exactly as...
2021-04-07 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostWith the fourth of the Serpentine Isles at their back, Sigebert’s fleet made fairly good time. That didn’t quite make up for the late start, though, for it had taken the entire rest of the prev...
2021-04-05 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostJormun walked over to Leon and the fire mage, now separated by a wall of water that no one else could’ve conjured.
“You’ve really caught me flat-footed here, haven’t you?” he said w...
2021-04-02 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon and Alix, mounted upon Anzu, pursued Jormun as quickly as they could without abandoning all caution. The ships Sigebert had sent into the narrows had been heavily damaged and disabled by the p...
2021-03-31 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAll in all, about a dozen ships joined Jormun out in the straits, all long and sleek, with huge iron rams on the front. They were fairly small ships compared to Legion war galleys, but they were pa...
2021-03-29 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a beautiful day when Sigebert’s fleet finally came within five miles of the fourth island. The sun was shining, the seas were calm, and a light, pleasant sea breeze kept everything cool an...
2021-03-26 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stared at the third island as it slowly grew smaller in the distance. He’d only been there for about five days—practically an eternity in his mind, but the shortest amount of time he’d s...
2021-03-24 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLeon glared at the underground river in the harbor of the temple, the memory of the ‘battle’ with Jormun running through his head again and again, the pirate’s shit-eating grin now practicall...
2021-03-22 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon felt rather terrible, and for more reasons than the long list he already had from the hours he and his party had spent within the temple. No, as he stared at the grand stone doors leading to t...
2021-03-19 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostLeon felt the cloth of his shirt start to stick to his back as he broke out into a cold sweat. The pools in this chamber had contained seven huge serpent-like monsters, each of different colors, an...
2021-03-17 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon crouched down besides Gaius, a sense of anxiety in his chest that he would never have guessed would be there even just a few months ago. But anxious he was, for Gaius wasn’t moving, and the ...
2021-03-15 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Why’s there a damn maze down here?” Gaius wondered aloud. His complaints were echoed in Leon and Maia’s heads.
“Because why wouldn’t there be?” Leon responded, his tone cynical...
2021-03-12 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stared at the ruined colossus before him, the humanoid half lying on the ground, damp and scorched, while its serpentine half lay at his feet, gouged and eyeless. Both of the emeralds that had...
2021-03-10 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, Maia, and Gaius arrived in the colossus chamber ready for a long and protracted battle. What remained of Leon’s armor adorned his body, and his family’s blade was in his hands; Maia looke...
2021-03-08 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Finally!” the shade of Elise spat, her voice sending chills of dissonance through Leon. “Look at her! The bitch is as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside…”
Leon grima...
2021-03-05 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon and Gaius sped through the spatial tunnel they appeared in, Leon not allowing them to stop for even a moment. With Jormun’s attention on them, he didn’t want to give the pirate another opp...
2021-03-03 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon stood there in the black void, staring at Gaius with a complex look on his face, and even more complex emotions running through his mind. The shock of the trial world conjuring the images of b...
2021-03-01 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe room that Leon fought the shade of Artorias in swiftly reformed around him. In only a matter of seconds, all of the furniture had returned, the carpets had sprung back into being, and the room...
2021-02-26 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAgony became Leon’s world for just a moment as Artorias’ blade cleanly sliced through the metal of his cuirass, cut through the Skyflax padding beneath, slid between his ribs, and impaled one o...
2021-02-24 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Ahh, there you are…” Jormun whispered in Leon’s ear as Leon took down some of the villa’s defensive wards.
Leon immediately swapped out his stolen servant’s attire for his armor ...
2021-02-22 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon gritted his teeth as he inched forward into the hallway. From what he could sense, his ring of invisibility was going to be greatly limited here, being disrupted every time he opened a door an...
2021-02-19 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon was almost surprised when he made it over the villa’s low wall. He hadn’t sensed anything concerning within it, but it was still odd that a place like this villa, where its main buildings ...
