Shen knuckled his back as he straightened up. The Sowing was upon them and they had a couple more weeks to finish so that they would get the optimum yield come harvest. He had tilled this field his whole life, as a child and, after he grew up with...
2023-01-23 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAfter nearly a week of travelling and training, Yuriko noticed that Heron’s Anima reach had exceeded the First Growth stage. Ten inches from his skin. The azure light was quite catchy, although if seen during the day, was sometimes hard to see. ...

2023-01-16 13:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko got Heron a few barrels of water to cleanse the filth off his body. The black sticky mass was magnitudes more than what she expelled back then, and even compared to Gwendith’s, it was at least half again as much.

2023-01-16 13:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt took just a bit longer than two days to reach the oasis village. Or rather, a couple of stone carved dwellings around a well that only held a ThiRen of water, a hundred Ren. That was barely enough to slake the thirst of eighty people and a doze...
2023-01-16 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe once fortified Fysalli, Witton Hold, was once again the centre of Imperial activity. Little remained of the rubble and ruin that Witton had been turned into after the disastrous attack by the Chaos Courts more than a year ago, and in its place...
2023-01-09 13:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostSaki left the next morning, after a brief, yet poignant goodbye to Yuriko. Her Shadow Guard had actually spent that time clinging to her while sniffling, all the while commiserating that her young mistress wouldn’t have protection and had spilt ...
2023-01-09 13:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe bodies of the dead nameless were scattered at the bottom of the cliff. Several were burned, showing little but charred bones and a few were in pieces that sat on muddy puddles. There were still bits of ice lingering, however, and they didn’t...

The sole surviving Adept who pledged to Yuriko, Dominic Hurin, spoke up. Yuriko judged him to be about twice her age, though being an Adept, it might only be that he had advanced at that age and was much older. Or, since Spir...
