Chapter 38 – The Charred Region

Julius crashed straight into the chimera, charging low as it met his advance with one of its own. He had to move to avoid the horns, move to avoid the teeth, and drove his fist hard with all the rage he had into the side of the beast’s head, knocking it off to the sideContinue reading “Chapter 38 – The Charred Region”

Interlude 10 – The Light God’s Voice

All elves, no matter the kind, had very long memories, and Caius Cornelius Veritas Vocula was no exception. Perhaps that was why he formed grudges so easily? Every miniscule slight and conflict stood stark in his mind, and he utterly despised all forms of disrespect. Fortunately for him, his long life as an adherent toContinue reading “Interlude 10 – The Light God’s Voice”

Chapter 37 – The Dark Lands

It was impossible to tell how much time had passed on the ‘journey’–everything became a blur of fire as the angel flew Julius to wherever they were going–and the instant Julius regained control over his body again, he had to brace himself as Michael dropped him straight to the rough ground. A plume of ashContinue reading “Chapter 37 – The Dark Lands”

Chapter 36 – The Light Temple

Why the fuck was Torahiko here. Julius shook his head, trying to focus. Which was kind of awkward because, again, Hiroto Torahiko was apparently one of the few people allowed in on this super special meeting with Pontiff Vocula. And he was also sitting right next to him. Which totally wasn’t making Julius feel awkward. Continue reading “Chapter 36 – The Light Temple”

Interlude 9 – The Return of the Finja

If one were to look up into the skies near the Ebkai mountains, they would see an approaching skyship slowly sailing down into the docks. Around two weeks after its wreckage at the hands of a dragon, the Finja was returning back to the dock it called home. It was certainly interesting having to stayContinue reading “Interlude 9 – The Return of the Finja”

Chapter 35 – The Country of Light

Julius had a very…interesting time on the journey to Zemava. After his latest meeting with Claire, he just sort of…stared blankly off into the distance, watching the coast as their ship continued its voyage. He had a feeling that Douglas and Tisma knew why, but he refused to talk about it. At the very least,Continue reading “Chapter 35 – The Country of Light”

Chapter 34 – The Final Stretch Begins

It was worse. It was so much worse than Julius ever could’ve imagined. He’d expected screaming. He’d expected yelling. He’d expected them to get outright banished from the island. Maybe even from the entire nation! He really didn’t expect to have to see Chief Hiroto Torahiko burying his face in his arms, visibly shaking asContinue reading “Chapter 34 – The Final Stretch Begins”

Chapter 33 – The Lightning Temple

Maria had a damn good singing voice. Granted, Julius couldn’t exactly understand a word of what she was singing at the moment, but it did still sound really nice. The caster of their group, currently decked out in some golden, lightning-bolt emblazoned robes provided by the Torahikos, was standing right outside the huge round doorContinue reading “Chapter 33 – The Lightning Temple”

Chapter 32 – Catching Up

Having clothes on again was nice. So was actually being with his students, especially since they were all mostly unharmed and Douglas easily patched up any injuries they might’ve had. Even nicer was the fact that they somehow met up with Tisma, of all people. “Why ain’t I surprised he jumped off a skyship toContinue reading “Chapter 32 – Catching Up”

Interlude 8 – The Wandering Minotaur

His hands grasped tightly around the hoofed foot pinning him down, desperately trying to keep it from crushing his chest in, Julius could do little else but glare furiously at the enormous, four-armed and blood-red devil staring him down, a horrible grin full of sharp yellow fangs splitting the bottom half of her face. BlackContinue reading “Interlude 8 – The Wandering Minotaur”
