2022-05-19 01:05:41 +0000 UTC View PostHump tried his best to sound innocent, though the more he spoke, the more difficult he realised that was. He told Countess Daston of his… predicament, starting with when he and his master had bee...
2022-05-15 23:18:41 +0000 UTC View Post“Are you certain you told nobody else?” Vivienne asked. “Just Oswald and the receptionist at the guild?”

2022-05-08 00:36:05 +0000 UTC View PostHump never expected to be so pleased to see Randall, but seeing the arrogant young lord standing at the prow of a reasonably sized fishing vessel, he couldn’t help but smile. Eight other boats we...
2022-04-26 10:58:57 +0000 UTC View PostHump felt the tug of his essence, not just on his soul, but on his mind. It flared wildly around him, aimless and beyond his control. It had no point of focus, no target. Yet still it was filled wi...
2022-04-25 19:51:49 +0000 UTC View PostHump was back in the void. The same void he’d gone to each time the gorger had come for him, except this time, it had been of his own volition. He had dragged the creature here, and now it would ...
2022-04-21 23:19:40 +0000 UTC View PostBud stared in horror as the woman with the shield collapsed to the ground. Her head lulled to the side, rolling back until her eyes stared at him. For a moment, he saw fear in them, then nothing. L...
2022-04-16 23:32:39 +0000 UTC View PostHump felt a draft through the temple. The flooded floor started to stir. Essence converged on Vivienne, drawn into the already thick aura that surrounded her, building on it. It flickered like viol...
2022-04-12 23:28:24 +0000 UTC View PostHump did a quick count. Nine flesh prowlers, one of which was a goliath—the gorger had eaten the other—and ten or so shades.
Those were bad odds.
However the creatures didn’t act ...

2022-04-08 23:33:03 +0000 UTC View PostHump held his staff low to the ground, dragging the butt along the floor behind him while the townsfolk pressed against him, helping to keep it concealed. Lucile was beside him, her shield hidden i...
2022-04-05 23:06:41 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing Lucile’s direction, Hump stepped into the most lavish of the gorger’s chambers. The walls and floors were covered in vibrantly coloured rugs and fine paintings. It must have been stol...
2022-03-31 22:15:19 +0000 UTC View PostCelaine had an arrow ready on her string when the shade veer toward, soaring down at them from a thin strip of clouds. A lone creature, and one of the last to return to the gateway.

The gateway carved a tear thr...
2022-03-26 01:22:31 +0000 UTC View PostI don't remember struggling with a chapter as much as this one in ages. Went through so many versions before I finally found one I was happy with. Sorry for the delay but hope you enj...

2022-03-10 01:01:52 +0000 UTC View PostBud sat in the reception area of the mayor’s office, staring numbly at the far wall. For the last three months, it had been him, Hump, and Celaine. Now, Hump was gone, and it felt like they were ...
2022-03-06 23:46:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe gorger’s attack was relentless. Hump screamed as its icy will invaded his body, forcing its way to his core like tendrils of frostfire. Hump threw up his own walls of will, reinforced by his ...
2022-03-02 23:38:40 +0000 UTC View PostHump didn’t breathe as the creature stepped inside. Its pace was leisurely, a curious look in its eyes just like Albry’s had been when he was possessed. Assessing, curious, hungry.

2022-02-23 23:58:50 +0000 UTC View PostHump readied his staff as flesh prowlers poured out of the gateway, forming a half circle around the entrance. There were at least twenty of the snarling beasts, and for now they held back. Whateve...
2022-02-21 00:44:33 +0000 UTC View PostCouldn't get this one ready for yesterday. The scenes are getting much more complicated now, and where a chapter would usually take me about 8 hours, this took more like 15. <...
2022-02-17 00:10:18 +0000 UTC View PostHump stared in shocked silence at the pillar of dark essence rising to the sky, feeling helpless as the shades descended on the town below. He wondered how many hadn’t reached safety.
