Chapter 53

Kole jerked still when Mitchell and Allora came walking back into the cave. Mitchell saw that he had worked himself up into a sitting position and appeared to be perspiring. Glancing around the cav...

Chapter 52

“Wake up!” Mitchell shouted to the drunk bandit and delivered a solid smack across his unwashed face. 

The man groaned and his face twisted into a rictus of pain at the force of the ...

Chapter 51

Mitchell crouched at the ready just outside the entrance to the bandit cave. His heart was racing, but oddly enough, he didn’t feel scared. It was more as though he’d been plugged into a power ...

Chapter 50

"What did you see?” Mitchell whispered as Lethelin appeared from around the boulder.

The lithe assassin pulled the hood down on her cloak and the distortion effect ended, the edges of her f...

Chapter 49

For the first time that he could remember, Mitchell’s nose caught the smell of green things. They were out of the heights now, and everyone had finally felt comfortable enough to stow their winte...

Part 3, Chapter 48

“Now that we’re getting close, what’s the plan when we get out of the mountains?” 

Mitchell looked at Allora, who was finishing some of her rations around the small fire they had...

Chapter 47

Except that wasn’t Mitchell’s last thought. As he stood there, frozen and certain that he would soon serve as an hors d'oeuvre to this massive white dragon, the beast didn’t attack h...

Chapter 46

Mitchell stood in front of the doorway to Luvari’s cottage that appeared to grow out of the cave wall. Their time was up. All of their things had been moved out of her house in anticipation of it...

Chapter 45

The blackness that clouded Allora’s mind began to recede. She found herself in that twilight area of consciousness where one is not quite asleep but not quite awake. The sense of her body was the...

Chapter 44

“What was Grandpa like when he was younger?” 

Mitchell’s dad looked up from the old photo album he was thumbing through in grandpa’s den. His father had taken off his tie somewhe...

Formatting Problems

I've noticed that the .docx files that I get back from my editor do not post cleanly like the ones I brought in from Google Drive, where I used to write, into Word, and then onto here. I have no id...

Chapter 43

Under Luvari’s guidance, Mitchell and Lethelin broke down the tent and moved Allora’s body into the cabin. Rather than stay in the main room, Mitchell carried her through the doorway with the b...

Chapter 42

The first thing Mitchell did when they crawled back into the tent was check on Allora. She remained unchanged, unbreathing, but not dead, her body still warm and soft to the touch. After confirming...

Chapter 41

“Do you know what’s wrong with Allora?” Mitchell asked, his mind suddenly coming into focus. 

Lady Luvari nodded. 

“I do. She has been cursed. It is a very powerful sp...

Chapter 40

As Mitchell crawled out of the tent, the first thing he noticed was that there was light. But not the harsh wintry light from outside. This light was warm and inviting. It reminded him of staring i...

Chapter 39

The next several hours were uneventful. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Lethelin had sat back up again but would not look anywhere near his face. Mitchell had to bite his tongue not to teas...

Chapter 38

“Mitchell, I’m so cold!” Lethelin said as they paused to rest. “Can we stop?”

 The wind was whipping the snow into near white-out conditions in the path and he couldn’t feel...

Chapter 37

“That will have to do,” Mitchell said with a grunt as he tied the last strap securing the makeshift sled to Marvin’s harness. The normally placid animal gave him a baleful stare as it shifted...

Welcome New Members, and Plans for the Page

First, I wanted to welcome all the new members who've joined over the last few days. I noticed we had some free members but that I hadn't really set up the posts to display much for free members si...

Chapter 36

Allora seemed a little more herself when she awoke the next morning. Mitchell and Lethelin had swapped off watches rather than try to rouse her, but there was nothing for it. Whatever was going on ...

Chapter 35

The first pack of wolves made their move that very evening. The three travelers had found a small cave to shelter in which, like that of the first night on the lower slopes, had been used as a camp...

On Haremlit and Relationships

I figure with the beginning of part two (for those of you in the Super Fan tier) we're far enough along that I can ask a question to my readers about one of the main reasons I chose to write this n...

Chapter 34

The group awoke early and, though Allora was much recovered, she still looked sickly but assured Mitchell and Lethelin that she was fit to travel. About the night before, nothing was said. The tens...

Bonus Chapters All Around!

In honor of paying my first bill with funds from the book, everyone gets free chapters! I'm throwing in an extra chapter for Super Fans this week, and unlocking Ch.25 for the Fan tier. Your support...

Feels Good Man

My editor just sent back a batch of chapters and the invoice of the work he did for the month. For the first time I was able to cover the expense with the money from you guys, my supporters. It’s...

Ch.23 Confusion

I figured out the problem. Chapter 23 was posted at the appropriate time. What went wrong is I was searching by post tag. Each chapter is tagged with 'TheOnyxThrone' but I guess I missed that when ...

Part 2, Chapter 33

Whatever potion Revos had given Allora kept her on her feet for about two hours. Then, she collapsed. Tired and winded, the trio had kept conversation light as they journeyed higher through the foo...

Chapter 32

They laid Allora down gently inside the door and Mitchell began to scout around for Nothok. Lethelin grabbed the lantern off the peg outside, snuffed it, then closed and latched the door. As Mitche...

Where did you find me?

I'm looking to get an idea of where people are coming from. As of this posting, the story is available on RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub (although that's being discontinued), and Literotica. I also recomme...

Out of Order

Be advised, Chapter's 30 and 31 are out of order. So make sure you pay attention to the chapter number when reading otherwise it might be a little confusing.
