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 42 – Training
“Well that was stupid,” Julius muttered to himself when he woke up again. “Indeed it was.” Oh, Zia was still here. And they were sitting at a desk. Huh. Julius took a moment to actually look around the room he was now in, which definitely wasn’t the same one as the main area of theContinue reading “Chapter 42 – Training”
Chapter 41 – Catching Up
“Hold on Cyrus, you were there when Tisma cut Lovalde–Ah, Valita’s head off. And you didn’t think that was the slightest bit suspicious when you saw her walking around in the Sun Lands?” Julius had to ask, frowning at his dumbass friend. “In my defense, I was more focused on the creatures she had fightingContinue reading “Chapter 41 – Catching Up”
Interlude 12 – The Flirty Bard
Setting his pack down, Julius stretched his arms over his head. He knew the journey across the Light Lands to train would be tiring, but he also didn’t expect it to be boring. Since they had to make sure Blake didn’t spend all the funds they were given for the trip, it was decided they’dContinue reading “Interlude 12 – The Flirty Bard”
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 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”
