Rot was an old god. One of the oldest, really. Younger than her parents, called either the Ancients or the Titans depending on the era; younger than the five elemental gods, born from unions of opposites; and older than the moon hanging in the mortal skies. She was the eldest of the Ouza, the godsContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 11 – The Demon Lord’s God”

Bonus Chapter 10 – Valon of Valondrac
The first thing they were ever aware of was their Mistress. Before they were even granted sight, they felt that wondrous magic of hers granting them life. And as the world came into being around them, they felt their body. Strong and unbreakable. “Arise my general, and show me your power!” she commanded as aContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 10 – Valon of Valondrac”
Bonus Chapter 9 – The Inventive Artificer
For goblins, two things mattered above all else: Community and Survival. To survive, one needs a community, and for a community to grow, one needs to survive. So it went without saying that goblins gained the best skill for that: Adaptability. Whether they made for hunters who lived in dungeons or silver-tongued sellers who madeContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 9 – The Inventive Artificer”
Bonus Chapter 8 – The First General
I, Count Jonathan Terrence Bleaksky–and that was Bleak Sky, like the one consistently overhead, not Bleak Skee, like a wintery sport involving poles, snowy hills and a severe lack of self-preservation instinct–consider myself to be a bombastic man, meaning one of great drive, determination, and immense flair for the dramatics of life, in both ofContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 8 – The First General”
Bonus Chapter 7 – The Cheating Fox
Kitsune are not beastfolk. That might sound confusing, so let’s take it from the top, to make things more clear. Beastfolk are a type of mortal being; it’s a broad term, not referring to just one race, but a ton of different races that share just enough similarities that they could be considered related, andContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 7 – The Cheating Fox”
Bonus Chapter 5 – The Albino Arachnid
Act 1: A Little White Spider Bleakclaw Mountain had a reputation in the Dark Lands. Plenty of mountains did, because mountains were where dungeon cores absolutely loved to plant themselves, but Bleakclaw was well known for playing host to one of the deadliest dungeons on the entire continent, one that had spread throughout the entireContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 5 – The Albino Arachnid”
Bonus Chapter 1 – The Crimson Dryad
Autumn had lived for a very long time. All dryads did; it came with the territory of being a dryad. Trees lived long lives, and so too did the dryads born from them, though Autumn didn’t really think there was a difference between her stationary self and her traveling self. It was like claiming aContinue reading “Bonus Chapter 1 – The Crimson Dryad”
Chapter 47 – Castle Tour
“Well that was something,” Julius muttered as he walked across the ramparts with Claire and Valon, his face still a little red. Though if anyone asked, he’d say it was from exertion–…no, it was probably better to say something else… At least he had clothes on now. Actual clothes, instead of just a robe, consistingContinue reading “Chapter 47 – Castle Tour”
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 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”
