Chapter 102 - Course Change

At first, I'd been excited about the news of the representative arriving. That excitement dimmed when I arrived to find him receiving a verbal whipping from Vetrov.

The excitement almost went...

Chapter 101 - More Than Meets The Eye

The night passed without incident, though I might've stayed up later than necessary looking through the new grimoires and waiting for Bevel. Just in case she decided she wanted lessons after all. View Post

Chapter 100 - Nothing Better Than Loot and Magic

Author's Note: Whee, chapter 100!

Moving on Friday, so... hoping that nothing disrupts chapters, but might miss a day. Hopefully once I get my new setup I can get back to blazing ahead. Now,...

Chapter 99 - Polite Company

After processing Calbern's suggestion to bring in a Pox Knight to do the training for Selvi, I got to move on to the next surprise of our little meeting.

Chapter 96 - Surprisingly Fragile

Author's note: Sorry for the unannounced break from chapters. Had an unexpected disruption in my living situation. Needed to find a new place without much notice. Made it kinda hard to concentrate ...

Chapter 95 - Still Fix Things

I'd thought about having Bevel there for when I woke Keria. Of course I had. But I'd wanted to be able to shield her if things hadn't worked out with her sister turned golem bath attendant.

Chapter 94 - Oversized Action Figures

Much as I was worried I'd broken something, the attendant’s laughter finally slowed, becoming more even. Then she let out a soft sigh.

I shared a glance with Inertia. The sound of Inertiaâ€...

Sorry about the late chapter. Was my dad's 70th birthday this weekend. Tried to have chapters ready ahead of time, but didn't quite get them all done. Tomorrow's chapter will b...

Chapter 92 - Meeting Point

Not having exact plans was going to be a problem, if I allowed it to continue. Vetrov was working to set up foundations, but she hadn’t decided what was going where.

Neither had Xoth, who, ...

Chapter 91 - Mirror, Mirror

Ascending the cliff after our lunch was more work but went much faster. Already, I was thinking of the potential of the ocean Waygate's location. The waves were much calmer in the area than I'd bee...

Chapter 90 - Lucky Wood Rat

With Tresla upon her back, Inertia and I returned to Tetherfall, her wings glinting in the morning light.

Tamrie and Bevel were waiting.

I went through everything Tamrie needed, already...

Chapter 89 - Light Hunting

With the glider working, Inertia and I were soon circling above Fang, just outside Verdant Point. The noonday sun made it easy to make out the huge impact the new Shaper was already making. She had...

Chapter 88 - Untethered

After finishing Bevel's lessons, I spent the next couple days getting things sorted. First I created Spellkeys for Calbern and Tamrie, so they could keep me from locking myself away on accident. View Post

Chapter 87 - In The Margins

It didn't take long to coax Neta into stripping more bones.

I simply set out the new ones, then settled into place along the wall with the door closed. It seemed to be enough to convince her ...

Chapter 86 - Unlisted Priorities

With Tamrie recruited as my assistant, one of the first things she did was get me to establish a list of priorities.

We’d remained on the pier, though I’d at least retreated out of the ma...

Chapter 85 - Unhelpful Assistants

I felt foolish for not simply fixing the door leading into the workshop and the rest of the peak earlier. The whole mountain had security built into it in the first place, and with all the exciteme...

Chapter 84 - Death Pact Runes

When I emerged from the cold storage where I’d been working on Inertia, Bevel cradled in my arms, I wasn't terribly surprised to find it was morning again. Focusing on Inertia had been important,...

Our ascent would've been hard to miss. Not only were the crystal tubes lighting up the night sky, the thrust provided by the Forgehearts was like constant thunder.

Chapter 80 - Talons

With Sarpit's death, the cloud that had hung over us for the past few days started to dissolve. It wasn't instant. It wasn't even quick. But by the time Calbern leapt Fang over the final gap leadin...

Chapter 79 - Family Heritage

Chasing down Sarpit would've been a stupid idea. Even worse than diving into an active lightning stormcloud.

If not for three factors.

First, Sarpit was injured and alone. And the faste...

Chapter 78 - A Single Minute

Diving through a stormcloud with lightning crashing around you is a monumentally stupid idea.

It's even more stupid doing so tied to a giant metal war machine made entirely of highly conducti...

Despite Kallum flashing a grimoire at me, I didn't immediately pounce on the opportunity. No matter how much I might want to.
