Sylsa let out a heavy sigh as she sat back down on the deck of the ship, watching the angel, Kokriel, fly off to her teachers’ rescue. Everyone else was moving, meanwhile. It was a constant flurry of anxious motion since the crew of the Finja had to fully deactivate the balloons attached to theContinue reading “Interlude 7 – On a Different Island”

Chapter 31 – On an Island
As his eyes snapped open, Julius could do little else but cough up what felt like gallons of water in his lungs, before sucking in as much air as he could. His lungs burned like they were on fire and he reached out, grasping and clawing into the sand as he tried to grab ontoContinue reading “Chapter 31 – On an Island”
Chapter 30 – The High Skies
Gorokiva was a fascinating nation with a very long history, interesting people, and a unique culture within the Light Lands that had formed and lasted through the influences of its outworlder immigrants. Shame they weren’t bothering to see any of it though. “Can’t we at least make one stop?” groaned Maria as she stared backContinue reading “Chapter 30 – The High Skies”
Interlude 6 – Young Heroes
Stretching his arms over his head, Julius looked out at his store, finally finished sorting everything. He didn’t really need to do anything like that, but after the ‘party’ at Castle Lucene the previous night, he needed something to distract himself. It was a good thing that day just so happened one of the daysContinue reading “Interlude 6 – Young Heroes”
Chapter 29 – Deal with a Demon
Thankfully, it seemed like the warehouse was empty of both people and wares, so even as some suspicion was thrown his way, Julius was left alone after the destruction of the building. Still, he made sure to lay low and not even go up on deck for the rest of the day. With no furtherContinue reading “Chapter 29 – Deal with a Demon”
Chapter 28 – Boat Arrest
Julius was bored. Really bored. He let out a low sigh and leaned back in his chair while he propped his feet up on the dining table. He was very bored. Apparently, the price he had to pay for streaking, assaulting several people, and causing a lot of property damage was being confined to theContinue reading “Chapter 28 – Boat Arrest”
Interlude 5 – A Mage and an Orb
Douglas Yew was a positive man. He was positive that his friend Julius was going to get in trouble with the Dahsins, so he decided to visit the Kalavichos. He was positive his presence in Hulthemia would cause problems, so he limited his time spent in the city. And, most of all, he was positivelyContinue reading “Interlude 5 – A Mage and an Orb”
Chapter 27 – Dealing with the Governors
Stumbling slightly as he dragged most of the Black Shell assassins out of the ship, Julius kept his newly obtained dagger pressed against the back of the only one still walking. Well, limping. Really, he would’ve dealt with that prick too, but he needed to know where the person who hired them was. At theContinue reading “Chapter 27 – Dealing with the Governors”
Chapter 26 – Vague Warnings
Douglas wasn’t actually back at the ship when he checked, weirdly enough. Joral said he had shown up, but just to get some books and wandered off somewhere afterward, muttering about research. Joral also mentioned how Julius really should start telling him when they were going to be bringing more people onboard, because they onlyContinue reading “Chapter 26 – Vague Warnings”
Chapter 25 – Allies and Enemies
So after Sue wound up smashing their prisoner through a wall, Julius, his students, and their ‘guests’ were politely, but firmly, asked to leave the inn they’d rented by the innkeeper. So that sucked. Luckily, for a given value of luck, the Viokas decided to play host for them at their ‘gubernatorial manor’, which wasContinue reading “Chapter 25 – Allies and Enemies”
