Author's Note: This my attempt to create an exclusive bonus for my patreon followers. If you guys like it, I'll continue to post more Char Explains. They'll cover various parts of the world of Feral, such as politics, weapons, mythology, and even how it relates to our own world. I'll also be doing some interludes to show some characters perspectives of the universe. If you enjoy this, please let m...
2017-03-01 01:20:27 +0000 UTC View PostI reached into my satchel, ripping out the first of the three items I’d brought along for defense. As the men in armor rushed me, I threw the small bag on the ground, mentally activating the rune on it.
The bag, tied to rip open on impact, slammed onto the ground and released its contents. A rune of kenaz ignited and exploded the tiny amount of gunpowder inside the bag. The eruption sent shatt...
2017-02-22 00:29:26 +0000 UTC View PostAllgowlden City was usually one of the most beautiful buildings I’d ever seen. Jennifer only let me visit when I came of age, and I’d spent my childhood wondering what it was like. Of course, I’d had no idea it was a brothel.
Two stories tall, taking up a small space near the docks, it had ivy vines trailing along the walls, cloth drapes on all the doors stained glass windows depicting sce...
2017-01-27 22:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe day after I told her about the attempt on my life, I could tell it was bothering her. I was watching Katya fight another small group of knights in the training area where those four knights had tried to kill me. As I watched her beat down her opponents, twirling and spinning through the air, Katya seemed to have plenty of time to ask me questions.
“What weapons do you use Char?” she back...
2017-01-19 22:46:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the earlier debacle, I had to come up with a way to cut the cloth I’d made. Hasha finally brought over a scapel and used that cut it to shape. The scapel, designed with runes Hasha hadn’t taught me yet to slice through anything, still managed to dull, and it took up a bit of time to slice through the carbon sheet. Still, it was worth it.
With the carbon sheet as support, I could make t...
2017-01-03 05:44:58 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone knows about the legend of having a demon and an angel on your shoulders, telling you what to do, guiding you through your life and trying to push you on certain paths. At least, in Western culture. I wasn't so sure how popular the idea was in the rest of the world.
But for me, I could almost picture two versions of myself popping into existence even as one of the giant twins slashed out...

Merry Christmas everyone, and hopefully this chapter will do the job for ...
2016-12-27 01:46:20 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, I was doing work on the gauntlets. The chestplate and backplate were cooling off, with the runes I’d place within them merging with the armor. The gauntlets, on the other hand, needed a lot of work. While armor on the whole tended to be very intricate over all, gauntlets and greaves, or hand and foot armor, need to be able to move with the wearer while still protecting them. This m...

I managed to get an hour or so of extra sleep. It wasn’t very good. My dreams now made far too much sense now. But it was rest, and I felt a bit better after waking up. Arthur and I had breakfast. Like Jennifer said, he had slept well. In fact, he seemed more at peace than usual. The body in my workshop was gone. Only the scorch marks on the inside of my gauntlet’s barrel and the doze...
2016-12-06 23:45:26 +0000 UTC View PostWith the earlier fiasco over with, we were able to focus on buying our equipment. Steel ingots, bull skin, coal, small amounts of silver, three diamonds. By the time we were done, we had a small fortune in goods in the back of the cart. For good reason after all. I was making armor for a religious icon. Anything less than a fortune poured into making the most high-quality armor I could would...
2016-12-06 23:41:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, Katya came over. And so did Hasha. I’d been going over my plans with Katya when he entered, wearing a red shirts this time. True to form, he immediately broke the ice with a joke.
“Oh, and you must be Katya,” he smiled, holding his hand out politely. “Delighted to meet you my dear, though I must say, you aren’t what I expected.”

2016-09-28 17:18:46 +0000 UTC View PostTrue to his word, the first thing Richard did when he’d dragged me back to the castle was call the guards to grab the knights in the clearing. Two others took me from him, and he led them to a medic.
Soon, glowing hands were pressed to my skin. The medic, a dwarven woman raised an eyebrow as she took note of the slices cuts in my body. She had pale white...
2016-09-27 15:55:26 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I came up to the Chapel in a carriage for the second time, it was with far less tension than the first time. For one thing, I was no longer under arrest, instead riding freely next to Katya in the carriage, with a pair of guards across from us to make sure she was safe. For another, I got to see a lot more of the Chapel.
As it turned out, even the massive castle was barely scratching the su...
2016-09-02 10:15:56 +0000 UTC View PostI had an odd dream that night. I was making armor. But the armor seemed to explode everytime I made it. And as I did so, a knife came closer and closer to my neck. The knife didn’t scare me as much as the bright blue circle in the distance.
It wasn’t a nightmare, just very odd.
What truly scared me was when I woke up to see the face of Mountain the dog smiling happi...
2016-08-29 21:39:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe carriage came to a stop.
“Out,” said the official curtly.
I obediently stepped out. We’d been in the carriage for a while. As we left, the smell of the dirty city streets I was used to, began to give way to far cleaner scents, like lavender incense, the salt of the sea, and food cooking in shops and homes. And now, as I stepped out of the carriage, I realized why.

The next day, I was working on something new.
Art had left for the Prophesied Child. He wasn’t a devout man, but he did have hope that she would turn out to be everything the Chapel of Valor claimed she would be.
More importantly, many possible clients might go as well. Clients hoping for things as expensive as a suit of armor for example. Granted, we didn’t hold much hope. As ha...
As I walked home, I kept a careful watch on my surroundings. I must have gotten complacent. After years of living in Jarvin, a city known for its hatred of hybrids, halflings, orcs, and combinations thereof, the few times I managed to get caught were always due to me simply not paying attention.
It was understandable. Today was supposed to be the same as any other. I’d only gone to the do...

The world today was created from the greed of men, but isn't that always the way. Man strives for more than he'll ever need and brings the world crashing down with him.
Our world today is one of war. Everyone, from the shopkeepers to the soldiers, from the beggars to the businessmen have been forced to kill or be killed in so many ways that it's a wonder most hav...

As the Pack gathered into their formation, Alice tapped the hilt at her side. The train yard was full of old vehicles, twisted hulks of steel and wood from the golden age of mankind.

Alice turned into a school parking lot. In the ancient past, cars of all makes and models would have filled it. Today, parents came on foot, horseback, or with bicycles.
