Just as Aurivy promised, it was less than a week before we came across another strange event. The weather was fair, not a cloud to be seen, and the crew was happily singing aboard the deck of the Jolly Dodger. “The King will take his tribute, the King will take his due.” Dis’ni started them off, a wide grin on …

Honestly, it wasn’t just me. All of the druids had practically collapsed once the storm had finished passing. I couldn’t feel anyone tampering with the natural energy around the ships, so every captain had likely given their druids a break. Though, to say that I was completely allowed to rest was also a lie. “Mind if I join you for …

Content with the answers that Emona had given me, I returned to my seat near the front of the ship. Looking out at the horizon, I could tell that it would only be a few hours before we would hit the growing storm. Assuming that it wasn’t moving towards us, at least. That gave me plenty of time to… sit …

I made sure to maintain my focus on speeding the ships forward for well over an hour, until the strain of that focus began to take a toll on my mind. I could feel a dull headache building, which made me finally relax my control over the wind and water pushing the ships. Though, even after I stopped we kept …

“Isn’t it a bit too early to be running into giant monsters?” I couldn’t help but question, while I felt a powerful energy building up inside Emona. The monster ahead of us was a giant serpent, glistening blue scales lining its body. Its length was easily a hundred meters, but I couldn’t even see the head of it from where …

As we sailed beyond the horizon, the ships continued to be carried by a favorable wind. Before us, the water smoothed out, as if paving the way. Between myself and the other druids, there was no chance for any natural disturbance. After sailing for roughly half an hour, the formation of the ships began to move. Of the eleven circling …

“Hmm?” The lycan man turned to look at Udona. “Ah, apologies captain. Didn’t realize he was one of yours.” He said respectfully, before handing me back my quest scroll. “No harm no foul, boy. Just get on with yer business.” She said with a toothy grin, beckoning me over. “As for you, Tebor. Ye heard right, ye’ll be part of …

For the next several days, I spent most of my time alone. Unsurprisingly, not many people wished to disturb the mysterious ‘sage’ that lived outside of town. Even the monsters often chose not to wander onto my land, the few that did only trying to devour a few fallen fruits or weeds before scurrying off. While the days were peaceful, …

When the blue light faded around me, I found the world dark. I had chosen to arrive in the middle of the night so that I would not be spotted descending by anyone, so I was alone inside the quiet shack. In one hand I held a long, gnarled staff, which I subconsciously found myself leaning on for support as …

With the Wraith side of things taken care of, I did something that I hadn’t done in a while. I grabbed the piece of ‘message paper’ that Terra once made for me, and wrote a message for Ryone. About to head down to the world for a while, but I had an idea I need for something that I need …
