Amdirlain's PoV - Ijmti - Cloister Fortress
Amdirlain started examining the shelves and encountered only a few texts in languages she knew. The rest of them her translation spell muddled through but Amdirlain held off using knowledge points on extra languages. Despite using Analysis to narrow options, she spent hours checking a quarter-metre section without finding a help...

As Amdirlain stepped off the sparring platform after their session, Tinco smiled. “I’ve fought demons using polearms more often than something like a staff. That was interesting.”
“This training hall is an interesting setup. The weapon parries alone should cause a racket, yet it’s relatively quiet. Are these sp...

The sun was hours above the horizon before Amdirlain moved from her mountainside perch. The happiness had shone in Orhêthurin’s childhood memory. It was the first from her childhood Amdirlain had recovered since regaining Resonance. That Orhêthurin could already see through the world’s music shouldn’t have been a surprise, yet it...

Landing on the valley’s lip, Amdirlain waited for Sarah and Kadaklan to land nearby and transform back into a human shape. Running her fingers through the Wood Elf form’s autumn-hued locks, Amdirlain found it odd to be furless after so long in either Am’s or J’s appearance.
Sarah seemed to agree when she grunted after taking her ...

The capital was a sea of confusion but, detecting no troops firing on civilians, Amdirlain left them to sort out their mess. Five cities of confusion with no bloodshed later, she came on a scene that dashed her growing hopes. Finding troops firing on a crowd that included children hemmed in with no...

While Amdirlain created a series of towns and facilities in some of the newest demi-planes, Sarah went to Osaphis with Malcineas.
Sarah summoned Amdirlain under psionic concealment, and they quietly joined Malcineas. They found him puzzling over the base camp’s architecture, “Why are we i...

As she tracked Malcineas moving about his laboratory, Amdirlain ignored the mess he was making. His insane mind was continually distracted, and he jumped between potion stations and inscribing workbenches. Cutting through the clatter of his madness and classes, she focused on his preserved flesh al...

They had slaughtered the undead without pause for hours since the first chamber. But the trio finally halted as the latest massive colossus of merged corpses burst apart.
Tinco sighed. “I have only read of such monstrosities.”
“Mass graves,” said Amdirlain. “I saw some of them...

Two days later, news of a slaughter escalated their timeline. While Sarah dealt with broadcast preparations, Amdirlain wandered through a mall far different to those she'd grown familiar with. The hexagonal towers' exteriors were stark, without a single decoration anywhere to be seen. In this middl...

"How long does it take to get to the inner city?" asked Amdirlain after an hour of walking through deserted halls without a break in the silence. The route they'd chosen crossed by many shafts, but none were operational lifts. The walls were heavily eroded, and the passages they passed thr...

Upon being resummoned back to Qil Tris, Amdiralin advised Sarah about Ebusuku's request. Sarah clapped and gave Amdirlain a grin. "Since the demand notices are in for the magical tuition, we could go to one of their cities. Time to get that beard out."
Amdirlain's shoulders dropped, and her t...

Amdirlain sang multiple encores to entertain the audience caught up in the law keepers’ investigation, which kept them there for hours.

Ultimately, Amdirlain had to break the curse and trim Roher’s arm to the shoulder socket. Having already blocked his sense of pain before they started, she started regrowing his arm using Universal Life.

Roher smiled at the Amdirlain’s mental touch. “You can follow the memory if you’d prefer.”
Coughing, Amdirlain gave a bashful smile. “Sorry, your public mind was projecting the scene as you composed yourself.”
“You spent too much time at the monastery,” commented Sarah.<...

With Amdirlain’s laughter dancing in her mind, Sarah headed to the stairs. She’d already changed her normal red fur to dark brown so those pursuing Amdirlain shouldn’t recognise her. That’s if they even bothered to look behind them. Amdirlain’s security staff usually had at least one near her...

With the ignition of her aura, seven looming figures in the tunnel shifted and moved. Analysis protested with static, but Amdirlain grabbed the details of the closest of the void spawns.

Kadaklan was by the apartment’s link unit when the pair appeared in the living room. “I’m fine. Am and Sarah, I’m sure, passed my messages along. It was sudden, but I promise I’ll catch up with you later.”

Jan’era’s skill promoting her gave Amdirlain plenty of opportunities to practice Cla’nes's lessons over the next five and a half years. The long healing period required by her legs gave Amdirlain plenty of time to deal with other matters. Her recent set of songs was likely to be her last, wit...
