2020-10-12 07:21:12 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the lift doors opened, Naiad and Valeria came out with their guards raised. Valeria’s glaive was brandished—not that she thought it would do much good against the golems they’d been figh...

2020-09-28 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNot going to lie, I'm not too happy with these two. Combined, they were about 5200 words, with revisions only bringing that down to 4200 since I had to add a bit to fill in the gaps that the ...
2020-09-28 01:56:39 +0000 UTC View PostLeon whipped around, his blade in hand as the hole that allowed him into the sphere of light sealed itself behind him.
“What is this?” he almost shouted as he turned back to face the man in ...
“Where exactly are we going?” Leon asked as the golems escorted him and his party further into the ‘research installation’, as the lead golem had called it.
Behind him, Valeria and Maia ...
As Leon led Maia and Valeria toward the door between the talons of the great Thunderbird colossus, he turned his attention to the Thunderbird herself. He doubted she would given how distant she usu...
2020-09-21 15:01:03 +0000 UTC View Post[Boy! That statue is preparing to attack!] Xaphan shouted into Leon’s mind, drawing Leon’s attention away from Valeria and back to the colossus on the other side of the field, half a mile away....
2020-09-18 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, Valeria, and Maia quickly caught up to the Gorgon. The serpentine woman wasn’t moving too quickly, so it was easy enough to fall into place not too far behind her as she led them toward the...

Basic Combat
Far stretched the ice of the northeastern mountains, forming an impassable wall separating Leon’s small party from what lay beyond, from what was scattering his magic senses. It wasn’t like a s...
2020-09-11 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post[I found a corpse,] Leon reported to Maia. [Looks like it’s been here for a while.]
Maia didn’t respond with words, but he felt her acknowledgment.
He approached the tent a little bit clo...
The night following the Gorgon attack was harrowing and restless. Banshees shrieked close enough that Leon, Maia, and Valeria were constantly on edge, they occasionally felt the chill of ice wraith...

Leon, Maia, and Valeria tore off into the forest, leaving the Gorgon and the lake behind. He didn’t know exactly why, but it took the Gorgon a few seconds to start her pursuit, wh...
Leon stared in shock and horror at the Gorgon, his eyes locked with hers, gold and dark sea green. She had slit pupils like a reptile, which made a degree of sense given her serpentine lower half, ...
2020-09-02 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“You two… all right?” Leon asked as he practically gasped for breath. His limbs felt like they were ten times as heavy as usual; his body was utterly devoid of magic power, and he barely mana...
2020-08-31 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHonestly, not much about this one needed rewriting. Nearly all of the changes made here were deciding what to cut and what to keep, with the rest of the changes being pretty minor in comparis...

2020-08-28 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a peaceful night in the Heartwood grove. The sounds of distant banshees never ceased, but the aura of the trees protected and gave peace to their minds, allowing them to have a restful and u...

2020-08-24 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, Valeria, and Maia stared down at the dead woman frozen in ice, none of them speaking for what seemed like minutes on end.
“This… is Rhea?” Leon finally asked.
“Yes,” Valeria c...
The morning after Leon’s party arrived at Torfinn’s longhouse, it quickly became apparent to Leon that any notions of his of staying with Torfinn for longer than a night wasn’t going to work ...
2020-08-19 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Last chance for anyone to turn around,” Leon said as the doors to Clear Ice Fortress began to open, the great steel slabs moving excruciatingly slowly.
At his side was Elise and Valeria rid...
Not going to lie, I almost thought I was going to have to delay this by another week since it was such a bitch to finish. But I got it done, so here it is... even though it could probably use...
2020-08-17 01:59:21 +0000 UTC View Post“The Northern Vales?” Elise asked for confirmation.
