"This would be easier if I had a shrink ray and a time turner," Myst complained as he pulled yet another pair of magic sight goggles out of the coffin, looked at them with his upgrade ability and boosted them back up to where he'd boosted the original goggles.
Dawn shook her head. "That sounds like a good way to get lazy and leave a copy of the duplication coffin in a lab where the Forsak...
2022-10-15 03:01:54 +0000 UTC View PostMyst glanced up from his cider as he felt someone with an abundance of hatred, he quickly scanned the crowded inn and paused when he saw a black haired man in his thirties walking across the room with a dagger in his hand and a focused look on his face. "Weird." His confusion changed to understanding when a couple in the middle of an argument about the girl's mother stepped out of the man's way...

'You're making this easy…' her thoughts derailed as she felt someone use magic in the palace and saw a man fly off the princess's balcony as if thrown by a catapult. 'That's new.'
Elaida spun to look in the direction she could feel the power, knowing she wa...

Myst muttered as he spent the mana to upgrade the hastily completed protection circle he'd scrawled on the waygate landing, turning it into something that might help against the Black Wind.
