No matter how powerful I was as an individual, the raging storm outside reminded me that I was still an ant compared to the actual forces of nature. A glacier could exert magnitudes more force than I could, tides could erode any rock if given enou...

Sitting in my newly established underground lair, I could only laugh at myself and shake my head when considering just how easily I had let myself get distracted. The idea of the underground lair was a sound one, even the Burned Land with its Bitu...

Talking with the Chief was incredibly interesting. When it came to his speciality, he was just as adept as Mrs Wu, and a part of me wanted to watch these two face off in some sort of sneakiness challenge or something like that. While the Chief nev...

As it turned out, the “Chief” was present in the small town, though the expression of worried annoyance on his face made me think that he didn’t really want to be. When Catherine and I turned up, the man was quietly talking with a few other ...

It was quite impressive how quickly the otherwise nearly mundane woman could move when thinking that her child might be threatened. While I didn’t use Observe to confirm her level, the rest of my senses could give me an estimation that she was b...
