Ron, who’d just arrived at Mama Lou’s gave him a tight smile, accepting the hug like the old friend he was. The embrac...
2025-07-25 15:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostElijah’s fingers danced along Sadie’s bare shoulder, but as distracting as she was, his attention fell squarely on external factors. Specifically, concerning his immediate future. H...
2025-07-25 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostGunnar lagged far behind his target, his hands in his pockets as he tried to look as uninteresting as possible. He was dressed much like everyone else in the area, which meant that he’d bee...
2025-07-24 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostI did a slight edit concerning yesterday's chapters. The first was to make it clearer why Elijah chose to endure the elves' teleportation system (basically that Sadie convinced him tha...

2025-07-22 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostGunnar knelt next to the wall, feeling for a seam in the stone. After a couple of seconds, he found the tiniest of gaps and jammed the blade of his survival knife between the blocks. He...
2025-07-22 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThis time, Zeke let everyone know that he expected to be occupied for quite some time. Perhaps even longer than it took for him to learn how to manipulate the threads of reality. Their ...
2025-07-22 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostElijah glanced at the cavern’s distant ceiling, and upon seeing a dense bank of dark clouds rolling in from the north, decided to take shelter in his tent. He only barely made it inside bef...

2025-07-21 15:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe ball of amorphous goo floating in the center of the room shimmered with mana, divine energy, and something Zeke couldn’t quite discern. Looking closer, he saw that the threads only made...
2025-07-21 13:00:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Stop it,” Elijah muttered, though he knew it would do no good. The little spider was adorable, but feeling it crawl around in his hair was more than a little off-putting. His mind ...

2025-07-20 15:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostOnly a few feet from the cavern’s ceiling, Elijah circled the tree. The swarm of blood beasts, slithering and squelching disgustingly, surrounded the entire island upon which it stood. ...
2025-07-19 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostElijah sank to his knees, exhausted by his efforts. He’d managed to cleanse one chamber, leaving a blanket of vitality behind, but the corruption continued through an adjacent tunnel. ...

2025-07-18 15:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostElijah wanted to just swallow his instincts and use the dark elves’ teleportation network. Every rational thought in his head screamed at him to do just that. He ignored them, and not...
2025-07-18 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe Ways were busy, and Zeke almost felt anonymous. Certainly, there were a few stray glances here and there. Most people could feel that he was fundamentally different than them. ...
2025-07-18 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning dawned cold and wet, and the damp had invaded Elijah’s room. Some of that was mitigated by climate control enchantments – common in many inn rooms he’d visited over the...
