…Is this it?
Are we dead?
Again?
We didn’t feel anything. But the world is gone. There’s nothing to see but emptiness. It’s like an inverted Be...

Fyre Fly: Chapter 36 - Dragon Slayer
To my disappointment, the gods don’t leave after we haul Sandro off the transport. They also don’t reveal themselves to anyone else, instead preferring, I suppose, to continue providing me with...

Ollie and I head up to meet Mirzayael and soothe her worries as Dizzi and the rest continue loading the shuttles. They’ll be bringing Sandro with them when they’re done. Unsurprisingly, the tow...

I’m blasting out of the city with my Jets before I even have a moment to consider my options. Dizzi is still in the shop. I probably scorched Blair with my flames, which certainly wasn’t a wise...

Yedzaquib screams and writhes as magic crackles over his skin, pulsing off his body in haphazard waves. The wound in his chest stitches itself back together.

By the time we reach the next city, people have started coming to us. Airships move much more quickly than our city does, and word is clearly spreading. I’m not sure if we really have anything of...

I don’t end up visiting Hetopolis. The idea of leaving the Dungeon Core unguarded makes me uneasy, no matter how irrational the thought may be. Instead I spend the next three days showing more vi...

As soon as I think the words to Mirzayael, I recall the last thing Blair had said to me. She didn’t want me telling the Fyrethians of their visit. But Mir is different. She’s a leader—she’s...

Still pinning their limbs to the floor, we recoil. “It’s… us.” Our soul is churning with a maelstrom of horror and regret and sadness. But even through all that, we still feel its pull. Tha...

My stomach is cold with dread. I don’t know who these people are, but they’re clearly not supposed to be here—and I wasn’t supposed to notice anything was wrong. What do they want? Are they...

At the very least, the guests and I are excited about the bath house. Mirzayael, Gardi, and Salvia are significantly less delighted.
“I’ve ensured all the water levels are low enough to b...

“Me too,” I agree.
Her mind dances with amusement. “That’s not as encouraging a response as I ...

Fire sears around us as we hit the ground and roll. Beneath the flames is something solid and physical, and that’s what we grapple with, shredding our glass flail to form more limbs in an attempt...

Over the next few days, we gradually drift across and then away from Mount Haze. It’s still within sight, but tonight the last of the airships will depart, and then we’ll be alone floating over...

The festive atmosphere is sustained over the next several days, and by the time Mount Haze is in sight, the city seems more excited than nervous to meet with traders.

Oh, no. Oh, fuck. Shit crap fucking—
Anger surges from Ink, in contrast to my dread, and I mentally leap at it, wrangling it back before it can do anything rash. My soul is tight with fear,...

The hall is a cacophony of happy voices and laughter. Children run around the meal circles with silk ribbons, and toss around colorfully dyed cloudstone. The councilors are still arriving, meeting ...

Zyneth and I arrive in Lustaria around midday, the sun almost directly overhead. Zyneth immediately strips off his cloak, so I guess it must be warmer here. I try to feel the change, but the differ...

Mirzayael picks a large hall with a second floor balcony. Marbled stone pillars stretch from floor to distant ceiling, and weathered artwork is pressed into the walls. The floor itself is an intric...
