Julius felt warm. Really warm, and comfortable. Cozy was a good word. Part of that had to go with where he was, but most of it had to do with who he was with. Well, that and the incredibly comfortable blankets he was currently resting under, his arms wrapped around Claire. Up until she startedContinue reading “Chapter 46 – A New Morning”

Chapter 45 – The Capital of a New Empire
That was easily the most embarrassing boat ride Julius had ever been on and he had to be rescued by his older sister twice in his life. Granted, she’d been great at intimidating his friends into line on those rides, so there was at least a positive there. The ferry ride, on the other hand,Continue reading “Chapter 45 – The Capital of a New Empire”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
