A hammer fell and a bell tolled deep and wide. Felix felt his guts shake with the force of it, driving a soft, surprised "huh" from his lungs. The others reacted quite a bit differently. Evie buckled at the waist, her icy body splintering as chunks sloughed off an underl...

It took all of ten seconds to find the tight grouping of Links that were Felix's closest friends, bundled atop his Bastion of Will. They were easily distinguishable from the myriad others that threaded through the silver needle atop his tallest tower, m...

First and foremost of Felix's duties were holding the core space together. As it had before, his Fiendforge acted as a vice grip around Atar's visualized world, clasping it tight and keeping the pieces of it from splin...

With the Regalia locked away, Zara was assured that the Fathom spawn would leave them alone entirely, save for perhaps chance encounters. He was told that draconic Types—the weak ones, at least—were notoriously cowardly, and their fleet represented a significant thre...

"—eeeeeelix? What's going on?"
The world reassembled his vision first, leaving Felix standing with a single hand outstretched, still clasped around a fading ebon-gold thread. Beef was in the same position as before, mouth still finishing his earlier words.
"A vision," Felix explained as the thread vanished entirely. He rubbed his fingers...

Claw and crew scrambled across the decks, their celebrations of victory spoiled by the continued storm. The seas kept on heaving, and lines and sails needed tending. Felix had sent Pit winging off into the rain to check on the other ships, but so far they ...
I've been mega jet-lagged after traveling this past weekend, more than I anticipated. New chapter will be up tomorrow, as pushing through this has proven complicated.
See you then.
A little late due to unforeseen issues, but here we are! Another chapter on Monday!

“On The Wing!”
Vess blasted past Felix with all the fury of a hurricane. Spears flashed, all ten at a time, sticking into the monster’s sticky, grasping tendrils. It roared, more in defiance than pain, just in time to catch the woman’s par...

“The first step is often the hardest,” Vess told him as they balanced atop a thin mountain peak. She stood next to him, balancing on a single foot while keeping her eyes closed and her breathing steady. “Empty your Mind.”
“What, like literally?” Felix asked. Ten feet below the flat top of their mountain...

Zara brought down the Claw first, those that had traveled with him into the unforgiving Scorched Expanse and had fought their way across its sands. They were changed now, more confident but also closer. Felix could feel it, a burgeoning sensation in the back of his Mind—bindings that only those tested in battle seemed to forge.

Vess led the march away from the smoldering ruins of the Rellest Estate, through the wide thoroughfares of the Risen Ward without a care to be quiet or cautious. Her strike force was at her back, leading two dozen Paladins in chains and twice as many servants and retaine...

"And he just died?" Evie asked.

Lightning blasted from the sky, striking the rooftops and shattering clay tiles again and again, but the shrouded Sworn dodged them all. They were powerful, but nowhere near as strong as the one that had demolished their hiding place.
The monster has control of the Storm Ward too? How? Mikhail slipped over the tiles, the coating of oil ...

Zara reached out and fixed his collar with her thin hands. "Remember to keep their gazes. They are used to the powerful lording over them, but all nobles are jackals. They will pounce if they sense weakness."
Felix brushed her hands away and Willed the Garment into proper shape. With a snap of rippling cloth, his formal jacket shaped up around his neck,...

Pit's words barely registered before the doorway of the chamber was thrown open, and a patch of swirling darkness shot out into the light.

They settled into a room not far distant from the sparring grounds, Zara leading the way. It was ornately designed and cavernous, much as every other aspect of Kel'lyv's home had been, so much so that it dwarfed their company. The Chanters, Vess, Beef, Hallow, and Pit all claimed spaces around a large rectangular table, followed slowly by Atar and Ali...

"Harn!"
A solid kick bashed open the stout, metal-clad door, sending it crashing into the wall. A slight figure lurched out of the gathering gloom, her grunts of effort barely heard over the roar of the storm. Stepping into the dim light of the smithy, Evie held tight to a length of crimson cloth she'd bundled over her shoulder. "Harn, get your ...

The bundle of crystal and rock lifted a club-like hand and grew a single, luminous crystal where its thumb should be. "Yes."
