Book 6 - Chapter 7
The coals had grown dim, just a little bit of orange that shone faintly onto Sion’s face from underneath, making him look like he was going to tell a ghost story. “Steamshield is the city of the future.”
“Really,” said Brin, not qu...

Rhun and Sion burst through the old and flimsy doors of the shed, banging them open and already moving at a gallop. They carried no bags or any extra weight, except that Rhun had his recently-repaired tower shield and Sion carried Brin’s morphic...

“I have duties, you know,” said Sion. “I can’t simply pack up and leave simply because an old friend asks me to. An old, long-forgotten, friend who disappears for ages without warning, with no word on where he’s been–”
“I kno...

The matter of Iaghaid was more or less closed when the Lance woke up in the morning. He learned that not everyone in the Lance had access to [Awaken the Sleeping Ones]. Only he, Cid, and Hedrek had it now.
But even though little more was sai...

Sorry for the wait. To be honest, it's likely that these delays will continue until after my break. I had a couple false starts to this one, and I think it's for the best that I waited until I had something I was confident in rather than rushing t...

Sorry for the delay. It has not been easy to get my brain out of vacation mode. Also, I totally meant to have Brin take the [Recovery] Skill last chapter and forgot about it. I few of you pointed that out. I'll go back and revise sometime...

The Monastery of Holy Cambul in Olland was astonishingly beautiful. On the top of an enormous stone column rising out of the ocean, the first glimpse would appear to be a small temple built straight into the stone. Only as one drew closer did they...

Book 5 - Chapter 53
It was a testament to the state of affairs that no one had tried to get into Arcaena’s citadel in the past week. Perhaps all three nations assumed they could, were they willing to spend the cost of bringing sufficient firepower to bear, and then...

“Bwa ha ha ha! You said that? You actually said that? Incredible!” Hogg was pacing back and forth inside the Lance’s tent, grinning ear to ear. “This isn’t even my final form! You said that?”
Cid, who’d been listening to Brin...

Brin returned to the others and swapped his real body out with the Mirror Image that had been holding his place. Then, it was finally time to rest.
The moment he lay down he immediately passed out. When he woke again, he was in the Order of ...

It wasn’t long before a support group arrived. Three Lances of [Knights] along with three healers, including Luelle, the [Wound Binder] who’d healed Galan after his near-assassination. She only poked at Brin briefly before handing him over to ...

Cid thought that Hedrek was going to die. Brin probably thought so, too. Both of them were really smart guys, smarter than he was. But he didn’t care. Nobody knew whether they were going to live or die. Hedrek had learned that early in life.

The first few moments of the battle were an explosion of blazing light and firing Skills. Galan’s personal Lance was the best of the Order of the Long Sleep, and even with Ectar down they weren’t a force to be taken lightly, not even by a [Pal...

The [Dread Knights] pushed through the gap in the wreckage and the Lance held them, but not for long. Already more [Dread Knights] were scaling the barrier. They’d attack from behind, and surrounded, the Lance would quickly succumb. More undead ...

Anwir’s charge was quick as lightning. He flew past the [Knights] defending the [Great Witch] as if they were frozen statues. He wasn’t quicker than her magic, though, and Arnarra flung a curse into him. Cold and cruel and merciless, vast in p...

Brin smiled in delight. This was it. She’d actually used it! Arcaena’s final defense, the great working that he’d known was coming. Finally. All the work to get here, to trigger the spell in a way that wouldn’t kill him, and it was finally...

Maggart led his thirty [Dread Knights] with efficient professionalism. He gave their orders in the form of a few hand signs, and they sprung into action in a well rehearsed formation. Ten stayed near the giant, while the rest spread out and moved ...

Aberthol walked at the head of a tremendous army. He walked a little bit to the side and behind Lothar, as if he were his shadow, or maybe his attendant. A cupbearer, or more accurately, an orb-bearer. He’d activated the spell Lumina had pointed...

As soon as Aberthol saw the [Caravan Master], he suddenly didn’t want to do this any more. The man had a few fresh fingernail scars running up from the top of his bald head all the way to his eyebrow. He walked gingerly as if every step were jos...

He stood and watched the army of Frenaria wage its war against the sea. Arcaena was a port town. It would be the most important port town in the world if it weren’t controlled by a [Witch], and that wouldn’t be the case much longer. A port mea...
