Mayalyn Aloyhee
“Mayalyn, please, we need to go. We’re going to be late, again,” Olive prodded her arm in an attempt to get her to put down the stone slab covered in archaic runes.
“Yes, yes, go soon. Wait, no, where go?” Mayalyn mumbled in broken imperial, finally focusing on the princess’s shining blue eyes.
“I knew you we...
2023-08-23 23:53:56 +0000 UTC View PostJiran swept his gaze across the gathered soldiers, noticing their downcast eyes and dented armor. Forlorn and rife with exhaustion, they stared at the stone floor. He felt a deep respect emanating from his chest at these men and women who had joined the Imperial Army, knowing they were unlikely to ever return home. Too low-tier to make a real difference, yet here nonetheless, putting their live...

“Tell me some good news, Melckaer,” a stern voice ringing with authority demanded.
Refusing to meet the duke’s eyes, a bookish fellow with long, scraggly hair took a moment to think before responding, “Duchess Ravenna is stabilized and recovering well, my Lord. Her arm is –”
“I don't care if that...
2023-08-20 23:08:47 +0000 UTC View Post“There’s got to be well over three million of them now. It’s only been a few hours, how are there so many?” Jiran held his hand over his eyes to block the First Father’s rays as they clung to the horizon.
“Nobody knows. Maybe some of the upper class do but they sure haven’t bothered to tell us lowborn.”
Jiran purposefully ignored her shot at the empire's nobility. Af...
2023-08-18 23:17:22 +0000 UTC View PostJiran’s heart was shredded into a dozen pieces as he pulled every single channel out of it with one, swift tug of his manabody. His life’s blood tried to explode through his chest but was held in place by his aura as he commanded his mana to repair the damage before he died.
Restoration!

2023-08-16 20:20:51 +0000 UTC View Post“How can you possibly have a kid if you’ve been asleep for the last year?”
Jiran laughed, enjoying constantly getting under his uptight cousin's skin.
“It’s a technique Lenton taught me to speak with an entity connected to Madra. You’ll see. Well, never mind. You won’t see, because she’s invisible to everyone but me,” Jiran shrugged before moving toward the edge of...
2023-08-14 21:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostJiran’s aura wrapped around the Graymin and it stopped shuffling forward, held fast by immutable intent. It struggled mightily just to lift its head toward the sky and a mouth full of dark teeth cracked open. Jiran could feel vibrations smashing into his aura, though there was no discernable sound from the creature's scream. Leaves danced above as the unheard call ripped through the air.

Mayalyn threw her head back and laughed as Cameron scrambled unsteadily down the hard-packed dirt road. He looked over his shoulder at her, the distraction causing him to narrowly miss the handle of his hammer once more. The royal boy stumbled,...
2023-08-09 21:54:45 +0000 UTC View PostJiran and Niya flew side by side over a dense forest that swept across the northwestern regions of the Finlest Empire. Each was held aloft by the strength of their manabody—a malleable extension of the soul wall. Their auras pulled them forward by pushing and pulling on the framework which permeated the air—a nearly undetectable web-like structure of density that existed around and inside o...
2023-08-07 22:05:43 +0000 UTC View PostJiran’s heart began racing the moment he saw the multicolored lights flickering beyond the foreboding doorway. The flashes failed to push back the darkness or illuminate a single detail about the passage, leaving Jiran and Niya burning with curiosity. Jiran took a step toward the doorway, but a hand on his wrist stopped him. Thinking she wanted help standing, Jiran reached for her but she bru...

He focused his mana on her organs and circulatory system, the rest would have to wait until he found a source of density to replenish his mana. He quickly tried adding her to his party so he could see her health but it didn’t work, which he...

2023-08-02 22:47:41 +0000 UTC View PostJiran arrived in the People’s Cavern. His eyes roamed over all the changes, he couldn’t help being impressed. A little over a week had passed since they were exiled from their home with almost nothing to their names. Depression and misery had suffused their hearts like a sickness. Now, children laughed and a constant buzz of chattering and activity could be found in every corner.

2023-08-02 21:49:27 +0000 UTC View PostJiran stepped into the Valley of Melodies. His aura expanded in every direction, the information it fed to his brain caused him to flip around in a blur of movement. A group of unusual people inhaled sharply at his sudden action. They jerked away from him with what he assumed was fear or terror. It was hard to tell since the only outward change to their appearances was vibrating… leaves?

His aura exploded from the confines of his skin to scour his surroundings, covering a fifteen-meter radius and bringing a wealth of infor...
2023-07-30 23:34:00 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the tingling foresight, greed flashed in Jiran’s eyes as he leaped into the air.
Sorry Mayalyn, this is too perfect an opportunity to pass up.
Hydrogen and oxygen blasted from his feet while his aura condensed around the flames to propel him toward the closest shamblers. He arrived in a handful of seconds, his channel thrumming with condensed elemental power. Twen...
2023-07-29 00:23:22 +0000 UTC View PostAs the shambler charged, Jiran carefully observed its movements. Hunting in the Outlands had given him significant experience when it came to judging the relative attributes of tier fives and he put all of that knowledge to use.
The sea of red wrapped around Jiran with a feather’s pressure as he stepped through the portal. He couldn’t see far through the oscillating liquid and felt no sense of danger from its touch. His mind tried in vain to detect patterns in its movements but the fluid remained secretive, obscure, and undefinable.
Its embrace caressed his clothes in probing movements that shifted the fabric...
2023-07-25 00:51:36 +0000 UTC View PostIt only took Oliviala two hours to claim the density in her lungs to mana. During that time, Mayalyn worked diligently on their combined alphabets and Cameron continued to train in his circle of enhanced gravity.
Jiran was blown away by how quickly Mayalyn was learning the Imperial dialect. After only two days of consistent practice, she was asking questions about grammar and syntax. He a...

Hours passed and Olive still sat against the same tree. Her mind whirled with the devastating potential of what had been revealed to her. Every instinct in her body ached to flee from the enormity of this problem, to offload it onto one of her far more capable siblings, or better yet, her father. But how could she run and still ca...
2023-07-20 00:26:32 +0000 UTC View PostJiran flew the group deeper into the outlands after asking the cousins why they didn’t know how to claim density. Mayalyn looked bored after hearing his question. She yawned and leaned against his aura. Olive and Cameron were both clearly confused. After chewing on his words for several seconds, Olive responded.
“If you know who our parents are, then you know who we are? Why did you p...

“Boil mor voruuta gu soaer!” Olive shouted from somewhere behind Mayalyn.
Cameron was standing at Mayalyn’s side, already banging his gold-inlaid hammer and shield together. Jiran’s hand rested on her shoulder, his smooth, deep yips and growls rumbled through her chest as he translated the nonsensical imperial tongue. 2023-07-16 17:06:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Jiran tossed and turned throughout the night. He maintained a strong focus through his aura, unable to sleep soundly with the two newcomers snoozing just a few meters from the entrance to their burrow. Mayalyn, on the other hand, slept like the dead, as usual. He had tried to wake her when he discovered the identity of their guests, but she told him in no uncertain terms that since it was not a...

2023-07-13 00:22:20 +0000 UTC View PostMayalyn took advantage of the Landshark being distracted by Cameron. She jumped onto its neck just above the mass of protruding hairs. Her body thrummed with blue sparks as her claws plunged into tough flesh at the base of its skull. Arcs of energy sprouted across its long form, sparking to the ground and through the air, -849.
The beast threw its head back in a soundless scream as it con...

Jiran cringed as her shout turned her voice into a shrill screech. Mayalyn jerked into a defensive crouch with lightning springing between her extended claws. Cameron continued to beat himself to death while making gurgling sounds as his dinner tried to end him.
