Book 3, Chapter 37

Ivetra reacted first. Mana flared as she wove a flame lance into existence and snapped out, “Igla Descarus.”

Just before the spell ignited, I reached out tendrils of my own mana ...

Book 3, Chapter 36

Jules made a show of tripping over herself bowing and scraping and being generally obsequious before the two women, both of whom were trying and failing to conceal just how unimpressed they were wi...

Book 3, Chapter 35

 The caravan of wagons and pilgrims rolled into town a few hours after I finished walking Jules back to her home. I knew which wagon the Lightbearers were in, and as they approached the edge o...

I meant to have this up earlier, but... well... it didn't happen. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy!

Book 3, Chapter 34

Despite my sister’s frequent complaints, I did not enchant our temporary house with all the luxuries she’d grown accustomed too. If we’d been planning to stay for more than a few days, I migh...

Book 3, Chapter 33

After climbing back to his feet and dismissing the two guards who’d brought us in, the captain said, “If you truly aren’t Lightbearers, then perhaps you should be speaking with Jules instead ...

Book 3, Chapter 32

Senica bristled and jerked her arm away from the guard reaching for her. “Don’t touch me,” she snapped at the woman.

The mood, already soured over our disrespect of the town’s religio...

Book 3, Chapter 31

We settled into an easy routine over the next six weeks. In the morning, I would instruct Senica on the various aspects of magecraft. I wanted her to have as well-rounded an education as I could pr...

Book 3, Chapter 30

Our first day off the island hadn’t seen much variation in the landscape. Things were a bit greener, perhaps, but it the kind of difference that would have been easy to miss if I wasn’t looking...

Book 3, Chapter 29

Adult brakvaw were just too big to pummel with conjurations. They’d shrug off lightning bolts and fire blasts easily, and as I’d already proven, they had enough mass and speed to break through ...

Book 3, Chapter 28

Our time at the Outlander’s Gateway was enlightening, but ultimately, not the purpose of this journey. Once dawn broke, I woke Senica—after stashing my bed away so she wouldn’t see it—and g...

Book 3, Chapter 27

“Mages, huh?”

Eggert was a heavyset man with a red face, a big nose, and almost no hair left on the top of his head. He was wearing a plain white apron and had his sleeves rolled up to hi...

Book 3, Chapter 26

My original plan had called for us to reach the edges of the island, to a place that was known locally as the Outlander’s Gateway, about half way through the day. It was the only spot that was al...

Book 3, Chapter 25

Our journey began at the teleportation platform. I’d made sure to fill the mana battery underneath to full a few days ago and swapped out all the emitters lining the platform itself for fresh one...

Book 3, Chapter 24

I floated across the brakvaw graveyard, my magic keeping me anchored against the wind that kept the island scoured bare of so much as a speck of dirt. Next to me, his ancient body hunched in on its...

Book 3, Chapter 23

In many ways, lacquering a mana core was similar to creating a lattice for it, only on a far grander scale. The first time I’d done this, it had taken me close to two years to complete. In my def...

Book 3, Chapter 22

The chamber was ten feet by ten feet. Each corner had a massive mana crystal in it, a black pillar glittering with pinpricks of light. Individually, they held ten times as much mana as the original...

Book 3, Chapter 21

Over the next few months, I divided my time between monitoring my mana sealing experiment, practicing what I’d taken to calling lossless casting, and teaching the basics of constructing a mana la...

Book 3, Chapter 20

In a way, figuring out the first step of brakvaw spell casting when I did was perfect timing, since it marked a good point to take a break and return to Sanctuary. I could have gone home, resupplie...

Book 3, Chapter 19

To make things easier, I built my own little abode on a nearby mountain. Perhaps the brakvaw would have accommodated my stay, but I wasn’t all that trusting, and, besides, my magic could very wel...

Book 3, Chapter 18

Watching my sister perform alchemy was somewhat nerve wracking, if I was being honest. Though I’d made the equipment myself and it would take a giant dropping a boulder on the glass to so much as...

Book 3, Chapter 17

The floating island stretched out before me, nearly a mile of bare stone interrupted only by massive cairns lined up one after another. They spiraled out from the very center, where a single mausol...

Book 3, Chapter 16

It was only when we got close to Eyrie Peak that I realized how much mana was coming off of the mountain, far more than was reasonable. It shot straight into the air, only to cascade back down and ...

Book 3, Chapter 15

The mother brakvaw was clearly communicating with her children in some way, probably telling them to stay back in case she needed to kill me and things got messy. I wasn’t offended; it was a reas...

Book 3, Chapter 14

Author's Note: For those of you not watching on Royal Road, I've accelerated the release schedule to 7 days a week until mid August in order to get the entire volume out on Royal Road befor...
