Julius wasn’t a stranger to waking up somewhere that he wasn’t familiar with. Blake, his own former mentor, often dropped Ellen and him in the middle of a random place while they were asleep for training. And, in some cases, he’d just go a bit overboard when partying. However, this was the first time heContinue reading “Chapter 8 – Familiar Faces, Familiar Places”

Chapter 7- New Means of Travel
The next day, Julius returned to the inn where his students had, hopefully, slept. In retrospect, he probably should have sent along a message that he would be gone for the night, but he figured they would be too tired to do anything too out of hand. It’s not like any of them would spillContinue reading “Chapter 7- New Means of Travel”
Chapter 6 – The Trade
Julius was honestly really damn thankful that he’d had the forethought to bring some cloth to put the temple core in. Sure, he might look a bit odd carrying a huge, cloth-covered ball on one shoulder, but at least he wouldn’t have to explain why he had taken the temple core to anybody. He didContinue reading “Chapter 6 – The Trade”
Chapter 5 – Fire Temple
If there was one thing Julius was thankful for, it was that the Fire Temple was easily the simplest temple in terms of getting through everything. Rather than a sprawling series of structures and puzzles meant to test both strength and wit, it was just a number of rooms, one after the other, where theyContinue reading “Chapter 5 – Fire Temple”
Chapter 4 – The Road to the Top
The Ebkai Mountain Range was a massive, natural wall that acted as the direct border between the Light Lands and the Dark Lands. Composed of over a dozen major peaks stretching from the Grecal Sea in the north to the Orisalic Ocean in the south, it was easily the longest mountain range on the twinContinue reading “Chapter 4 – The Road to the Top”
Chapter 3 – First of Many
Maria Loren was an interesting girl. As a half-elf, Maria lacked the antlers her mother and other wood elves had, but she kept the longer, pointed ears common to the elvish race. Likewise, while her skin-tone matched her mother’s and her green eyes clearly came from Namita, her orange hair was the spitting, fiery imageContinue reading “Chapter 3 – First of Many”
Chapter 2 – Forest Temple
“This will be the last room,” Julius stated, his eyes locked on the massive round door blocking off the final room of the Forest Temple. He turned to the young heroes it was his duty to guide and nodded to each of them. “In there, we’re going to be facing the final trial of theContinue reading “Chapter 2 – Forest Temple”
Chapter 1 – A Fresh Beginning
Lying down in the middle of a grassy plain, Julius Goldforge stared up at the night sky. A part of him began to wonder when he would die. He had been lucky so far, but, given his unenviable task of mentoring the new heroes, it was only a matter of time before he wound upContinue reading “Chapter 1 – A Fresh Beginning”
