Chapter 44 – The Winning Streak Continues

So it turned out Julius didn’t actually have to fight a random woman in a restaurant. In fact, it was kind of the opposite. The random woman in question turned out to be a werewolf by the name of Jofrid Otakin, she was apparently Fergus’s cousin–her dad was the grandnephew of his mother’s father orContinue reading “Chapter 44 – The Winning Streak Continues”

Interlude 14 – A Royal Meeting 2 (Aquatic Boogaloo)

Queenshill, the capital of Luceneva, was a massive city spreading out around the royal family’s castle: an enormous citadel of high, solid-white walls topped by bright red spires. Long bridges stretched between the four towers built into the curtain wall surrounding the central keep, itself topped with three towers spread across its sloped roof. KnownContinue reading “Interlude 14 – A Royal Meeting 2 (Aquatic Boogaloo)”

Interlude 13 – A Royal Meeting

Tisma Vlahos was having an interesting month. A simple job to investigate a dragon starting shit near the Gorokivan coast turned into her meeting up with two of her best friends in the world and getting directly involved in the new “Stop the Demon Lord” quest.  Now, that was unexpected, but not too bad. JobsContinue reading “Interlude 13 – A Royal Meeting”

Chapter 43 – Every Backstory is Tragic

“So are you all masochists at that church?” Cyrus asked the instant they all sat down at the table, eyeing Julius’s bandaged up body, “Because there’s such a thing as taking a fetish too far.” “Don’t be gross, pops,” Mira retorted, earning a pout from her pops. “What? I haven’t seen you three for aContinue reading “Chapter 43 – Every Backstory is Tragic”

Chapter 40 – The City of Blood

Plachor was about what Julius expected, while also not at all what he thought it would be.  For one thing, darklander architecture was fucking weird. According to Seona, it was “gothic”, which apparently meant a ton of clustered structures and intricate designs on every single building. Also lots of spikes and spires springing up allContinue reading “Chapter 40 – The City of Blood”

Interlude 11 – Valondrac

If there was one word that could describe Claire Valondrac at the current moment, it would be exasperated. Half her life she spent building up her forces and plotting to creating an endless army to fight and finally win against the Light Lands. And then the Lightning Core broke.  Not immediately, fortunately. She was stillContinue reading “Interlude 11 – Valondrac”

Chapter 39 – New Plans

Julius woke with a start, his dreamless sleep cutting out as he jolted upward. The blanket draped over him dropped off his chest and he blinked, trying to look around the now dim cave. Which…huh. Seona had never set a light up, but he was seeing fine yesterday…Weird. Speaking of, the ‘dullahan’ was sleeping aContinue reading “Chapter 39 – New Plans”
