“Beginning reverse thrust.” A voice spoke up within the throne room of the Sky Citadel, Logain staring at the display screen nervously. His hands gripped the arms of the throne, doing his best not to panic as he heard the automated voice. “Deploying heat shields. For the safety of all passengers, it is advised to remain indoors during reentry.” For …

The rest of the meeting passed rather uneventfully. I spent a couple of days with Irena, simply wandering around and playing different games, or enjoying different performances. When that was done, I decided to take Ryone for a date of her own, since we had not really done anything together in a while. After Ryone, naturally, came Terra. Though, the …

With a pained hiss, the amalgam pulled the arrow out of his arm, glaring fiercely towards Kaneda. And then, taking a step back, as if a runner preparing to sprint forward he… vanished. I blinked, staring at the place he had been previously staying. There was no shimmer of light that would indicate a teleport, no flash of magic at …

Even the knights, who were unfamiliar with the method of boosting mystical powers by consuming spiritual energy, could see the heavy drain that the spell had taken on Lyra. However, there was no doubting that it was effective. The fact that we had been able to see which direction the enemies entered the town from was enough to narrow down …

It did not take long for us to hear what had happened, thanks to the questioning of the knights. Though, they still did not entirely trust Grace, or Lyra once they figured out that she was the one who had bonded with the dragon. Still, some progress was better than no progress.

It was hard to find shelter for the night after deciding to rest in the shattered remains of the town. The amalgam that struck here primarily focused on earthquake-like attacks, so there weren’t any buildings left fully intact after its passing. Instead, we managed to find a previously three story building where a section of the second story’s floor was …

Creating the spell took nearly the entire time that we were moving towards the next town. The amount of detail required in it was something that was hard to properly understand without experiencing it firsthand. Take the sonic roar for instance. In the memories I received, I had to study sound so that I could envision how various vibrations could …

“How was the hunt?” I asked, knowing that I couldn’t see Kaneda carrying anything on her person. However, that did not necessarily mean anything, something which she soon proved true. “It was decent.” As she said that, Genevieve’s shadow seemed to grow in front of Kaneda, and the body of a large boar slowly rose up from it. “I didn’t …

Once Balu ran off, I felt Irena gently gripping my hand. Looking over, I saw her smiling at me, her wings tucked back behind her. “Well, where would you like to go next?” I asked her, moving to lead her out of the dining area. She shook her head softly. “We have plenty of time. I’m happy going anywhere.” And …

Seeing Balu so energetic, I cracked a small smile, following along behind her with Irena. By the time we entered the building, there were only a few people sitting along the scattered tables. Given the nature of this meeting, it was hard to tell which ones were Keepers, and which were just here to enjoy the good food. Waiting for …
