Almost at Chapter Fifty, which is nuts. Hope you guys enjoy.

They geared up and, surprisingly, filed down the stairwell. Felix took the rear, eyes on the walls to make sure they didn't change again, while Pit walked alongside him.
Why are we going down? Don't we want to avoid the streets?

The morning came too early.
Felix woke to Pit huffing in his sleep, kicking his big feet and pushing the Nym nearly off his bedroll.
"Gah, buddy," Felix groaned, shifting out ...
Hey folks! I was thinking about doing a Stat Page update here on Patreon for Felix and Pit after each chapter is posted, going forward. Good idea? GREAT idea? Don't care?
2020-04-29 19:21:53 +0000 UTC View PostHad some personal things crop up this week, so the chapter is delayed. I'm hoping to have it by end of day tomorrow.

Felix felt a rush of excitement. If he could replenish his Stamina even faster, then he could trai...
2020-04-28 04:39:15 +0000 UTC View PostFinally finished. Might do another editing pass later. Most of it was written either last night or during my day job, so excuse any errors (but please point them out if you spot them!).
Also it's wild that I almost have 500 patrons as of writing this. That's absolutely insane and I love it and all of you. If I can get a couple chapters done this weekend, I'll put up a bonus chapter Saturd...

In the meantime, enjoy Felix's Stats! I realized I don't feature this fully in the story too much. Usually just snap shots.

It's my birthday tomorrow (today, technically)!

Sorry for the delay!

Felix slowed his descent, taking each step carefully. He held his Manasight at full burn, watching the floor, ceilings, and walls for movement. Felix was determined to see if anything would happen a second time.

The room ahead was as dark and quiet as the stairwell had been, but in Felix's Manasight it all swirled with color. Evie stalked ahead, moving low to the ground and as quietly as possible. Felix couldn't see much, being stuck in the back, and after two gut wrenching minutes Evie returned, her eyes brightening significantly as she stood up straight.
"Nothing here," she w...

They skidded to a stop along a paved hillock, the buildings around them a bit more worn down by the wind. All of them were breathing hard, even Felix, though Harn and Magda seemed fresh enough. After a few dicey interchanges they hadn't heard the sound of pursuit for a few minutes now, and Felix was starting to hope they'd lost them. They took quick shelter in shadows cast by...

2020-03-29 00:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostSeems everyone who has answered so far prefers longer chapters to more frequent shorter chapters. I spent a good amount of time trying to capture these characters and their interactions. Hopefully I've done it justice and it's a good read.
