Hell's Songbird - 7

“Mind your feet.”

I’ve barely registered her words when Ilya teleports us again, and I only get the first notes. The rock underfoot crumbles, tipping me towards rushing water. A spike of panic and thinking up has my wings pressed flat ...

Abyssal Road Trip - 141 - Battle lines

Amdirlain dropped into the grass before Tickles, watching the muscles clenching in her jawline. “If it’s sitting on you so heavily, maybe it’s not the best role for you.”

“They hate everything living, don’t they?” asked Tickles...

Hell's Songbird - 6

Once off the bleak mountain, the slope rapidly shifts from foothills into a grey dusty plain. The plant life eking out its existence here is brown and dry, ready to collapse without warning. Leaves don’t drop from stems, but become dust clouds a...

Abyssal Road Trip - 140 - History

The energy of the Gate had faded before Amdirlain finished purifying items. Armour no longer possessed the repulsive feel about it, the images within had stilled and faded. The pikes’ hafts, once purified, had become a deep-blue wood laced throu...

Chained - 9

The cell’s bars are a mesh of cut stone that makes no sense, and I wrapped chains through the gaps unable to see where it comes apart. I’m looking over the ceiling to make sure I’m not about to bury them by just removing it, and Silevien spe...

Abyssal Road Trip - 139 - Welcome to the black parade

Amdirlain had set herself on the cliff edge, her Telepathy keeping her linked to those working the harbours. Ebusuku had already scried out so many harbours that the Archons had split into pairs to clear separate shorelines. While O’Nai, Sage, a...

Abyssal Road Trip - 138 - Start the healing

Immunity to fire was certainly one thing she possessed. Reality happily informed her of a gap in her plans with the tenuous atmosphere of Mercury helping to point it out.

Abyssal Road Trip - 137 - Til I hear 'em say

Amdirlain slipped ahead of Erwarth as they moved up on the compound’s side gate. It felt strange being in the Sisterhood uniform with Erwarth providing corrections as they went. While it wasn’t essential to this operation, it was another skill...

Chained - 8

Though it was tempting just to leave them slumped in the tunnel, it was time to get to work. I’d mainly used Inventory to store materials until now; even the excavation to push its capacity for retrieving the egg had still been storage. The litt...

Been struggling a bit this week, 2nd week of my goal and I got the 2nd dose of Pfizer, so I feel like I have the worst flu atm.

However, that said:

Chapter 137 - currently is halfway written.

Abyssal Road Trip - 136 - How's it supposed to feel

“Was it one of your servants that you sent through earlier, Amdirlain?” Vāriyāka asked, not having moved to leave with the council.

“No, that was Torm; you’ve not met him. He’s a guardian of Týr; I met him years ago, protecting ...

Abyssal Road Trip - 135 - In my place

Amdirlain released the link with Vāriyāka and shortly afterwards was regarding the Shaper with concern. Not held in a state of meditation, he sat blinking speechless at Amdirlain for long minutes, as the Earth Affinity mingled with his natural i...

Chapter 135 - I've finished writing and will look to edit.

Sidero pushed Isaac out of the road and got a chapter written for her this week, even though I planned to write more of Hell's Songbird. Hence Chained - 7, being released on Patreon....

Chained - 7

For all the contempt I have for them morally, they don’t lack in physical strength—though brains, that’s a different story. Their whole expedition counts on Gaius, but the others start off with him trailing along last except for me. I’d ha...

Abyssal Road Trip - 134 - It's a kind of magic

“We can’t just rush and grab slaves randomly,” Amdirlain cautioned, and Ebusuku motioned towards the passage. Bitter acid and burning pain twisted hooks inside Amdirlain as she forced back tears. Soul Sight had showed her so much of the slav...

Chapter 134 - is mostly written.

Hell's Songbird 6 - still has a fair bit to go before it's ready. Currently re-writing part of it that didn't feel right. Once I get 134 finished, I'll focus on this chapter.

I've set a goal tonight, so...

Abyssal Road Trip - 133 - I refuse

“That Spell you showed me feels like part of the Titan’s maze,” Mirage said.

A Valkyrie wearing Týr’s emblems appeared nearby, making Mirage start, but Ebusuku and Amdirlain were already in motion. A throwing knife, its tip having d...

Abyssal Road Trip - 132 - Good Enough

Ebusuku gathered the Celestials present in the Domain while Amdirlain called Solveiga and O’Nai back from their patrol groups. The lack of interruptions among the gathering allowed Eubusuku to quickly run down the list, even with explaining deta...

Betrayer (Short Story)

The sight of the bow’s polished wood wrenches at me, and pain twists inside me. Why did I stay hidden? The leather wraps on the grip show where his strong fingers held it, marks that will get no deeper now. Hands that guided my attempts to learn...

Abyssal Road Trip - 131 - Cover me in sunshine

Stretched out on the grass, Amdirlain snuggled in against Torm. Eyes half-lidded, her head rested on his shoulder as his fingers caressed along her lower back. His soft touch through her clothing caused sparks to twitch through her core and up her...

Additional Stories

Presently, aside from Sidero and Isaac's stories, I have a few other story ideas floating around in my mind. They'll all get written, but let me know which you'd like first. While they take part in the same world, none have system access, so be se...

The well-maintained door barely creaks, but still the guard inside turns quickly at the sound. I can feel the enchantment in the blade at his waist, his hand falling on the hilt with an impressive speed. The human is taller than my summoner, just ...

Aggie smiled as Amdirlain shifted into her favoured Wood Elf form, and reset the concealments the summoning had removed. “At least I don’t have to escort you through Moradin’s Hall with those wings out.”
