Time Immemorial
Long before the mountains surrounded Maeve, before mortals built cities, before Divines rose above all, there was nothing. A blackness so deep that not even stars could form. It wa...

Most? Did she just–
I felt anger overwhelm me.
“Lady Perry,” I steeled my voice as much as I could, “I think you will find Sir Rellar and his Knights are plenty capable.”
“Oh yes, I’m sure they are,” she said innocently, “But you kn...

We were near to the main gate of the town when it opened with force. Klein, Arlen, and I were lying lifeless on the ground when the Knights of the Dusk crossed through the gate –my knights. I propped myself up at the commotion, watching as the town guard greeted...

Jenny guided us through Perry, taking us around the town square and the various side streets. She didn’t offer much commentary aside from, ‘This is the blacksmith,’ or ‘Here is the bookshop.’ I tried to pry –to see if she had a favorite shop or spent her time anywh...

“Can I call you Jen?” I asked, my voice smaller than I wanted it to be but stronger than I expected.
The room seemed to still. Lady Perry blinked. The knights frozen as they approached their seats. Lady Jennifer looked up from her curtsy in shock. Even the footman...

I once said goodbyes are for loved ones. And though I’d only known these children briefly, they gave me a nicer goodbye than when I left Eunora’s home. Now, I had three children wishing me well. Telling me they would write –that they wouldn’t forgive me if I forgot about ...

It was nearly lunchtime when the Dusk Knights returned. They approached the village from the north, and Dame Arella had asked if I wanted to greet them.
“Yeah, let’s,” I paused, “Could we set up lunch for them?”
They left in service to the Dawns, and...

As I panted and tried not to throw up my breakfast, I remembered something Morloch had said.
Master your attributes.
With a heaving groan, I rolled onto the blanket and looked up at the sky.
“I don’t know what that means,” I muttered.

The Village Head’s house was moderately sized. It was the only house I’d seen that was two stories, and as the elderly Head showed me around, I saw that there was a total of four small bedrooms, a single bathroom, a living and dining area, and a kitchen.
It matched my idea of...

The church house of Wig was a simple thing. Yes, it still had statues of several Divines –but they were made of wood, as was much of the church itself.
It was a short walk from the inn, and the church was so unassuming I nearly kept walking. If it had not been for the guiding hands of Da...

After trying to pull a single wisp of mana from my veins failed for the umpteenth time, I decided to try a different approach. The book said to use your will to impose your intentions on the mana. That was the first step to forming runes. And I had seen Evelyn do that in real-time.

I looked up from the sheet of paper that was the plan for the rest of my days on the way to Fellan. Then I looked up at the three knights who were presenting it to me. Sir Rellar, Sir Limrick, and Dame Arella all looked really, very serious. It was almost comical. That my mana was so da...

2023-10-23 21:58:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe Knights of the Dusk knew how to handle harsh conditions. They spent most of their active duty camping in the woods and traveling on foot. They did not, however, spend a lot of time traveling with children –let alone a noble child. So, they had initially opted to stop at least once each day so Lady Eunora could stretch her legs and have a comfor...

The world was black, dark, and everything was pain. Time blurred. I couldn’t tell if it was mere moments or hours –every second stretched with the pain. I was sure I was going to be consumed by the abyss. It would devour me. I would be nothing but a little girl in agony for the rest of...

Dame Arella and Klein gave me curious looks, but I ignored them as I paid for the spellbook.

It didn’t last long. Because as soon as I took the first sip, Dame Arella made a noise of outrage and went into motion. She must have been in shock before then because, suddenly, I was being lectured on the health issues of children drinking too much caffeine.

I am going to be closing the Otherworldly Book Purchase Tier! There are only four slots left (I only have four books).
This is due to one main reason: I'm going to be releasing a different $10 tier with at least five more chapters, if not more, by the end of October.
This new tier won't come with a book, though.
However, if you are currently...

It was different, this descent. Unlike when Scylla leaped out of her statue, now it seemed as if Morloch —because it had to be Morloch— was taking over the figure and bringing it to life. No longer did his golden blood disappear before it hit the water. Now, it sank into the ...

It all blended together, making our way into Juvel. The city was much smaller than Adeline by a factor of ten. That isn’t to say that it was small. The buildings were two or three stories, growing taller the further we went into Juvel, and people were milling about everywhere. Unli...
