Chapter 33: The rise of the night hunter

I woke up with the sun smiling on my skin. I couldn’t help but remain immobile; my thoughts and worries drifting with the gentle wind that caressed my skin, I realized that I was rather cold. I knew then that I wasn’t entirely awake. I was still halfway in the world of peaceful slumber yet the bright rays of light …

Chapter 31: Flying nuns

What was the Nun doing there? And with an Avian to top it off? The Monk’s mission was to spread peace and the creed of the Sun; if that was it, then she was probably there to spread the Church of the Sun over to the Gnolls. Maybe the Avians had some kind of economic treaty with the Gnolls, although …

Chapter 32: Giant killing

I was attached to the ship’s hull when I let the whispers tell me of my choices. I could see the giant Titan being slowly but surely driven back. His Phantasmic State seemed not to be as effective as it had been until then. The Titan would probably be overwhelmed shortly, but in the meanwhile, it had managed to take …

Chapter 30: A messenger for the Sun

I had to get to them, to the airship as fast a possible, but would it even be possible? I asked myself as I transferred throw after throw. I was literally dancing in the air. I threw my knife, transferred, caught the knife in mid-air, made a pirouette to throw with all the power I could, and then I repeated …

Chapter 29: The Hunter becomes the hunted

“Are you sure this is the best idea you could have come up with?” I screamed at Roana as we ran toward a Gnoll’s encampment. Okay, we could have not outlasted them, but we could easily outrun them, but not the Hounds. The Hounds were fast; they were quadrupeds, after all. Even with my Agility, there was no way I …

Chapter 27: Lucky Day

“Not from that side!” Roana, which was back in her body, screamed at me. “Shut up! I know what I’m doing!” It was the fourth time she tried to teach me how to tame a creature, and it was indeed getting on my nerves. “You stay down!” I said as I pushed the head of the huge Nethersnake on the …

Chapter 26: Ethereals

We hid in a thicket of low bushes. I was waiting for her to say a word, really anything. But Roana was in her Trance state. She was silent like a corpse. Her eyes closed, her lips sealed, her chest barely taking in the air; she was immobile, like a statute. I wondered what the hell her abilities could make …

Chapter 25: Titanic Effort

The clearing gleamed in battle grunts and echoes of frustration for failing attempts or joyful cheers for success. Synesthesia showed me Nova’s smile as chirping birds for a few seconds. She had gotten lucky, Faruq was personally teaching her the way, and she was picking up rather quickly; I, on the other hand, was not faring that well. Alright, it …

Chapter 24: Combat Forms

Combat Forms. As it seemed, there were many of them. “Since Faruq knows one, I’ll show you a demonstration of that first,” said momma Jane. We had moved to the clearing, where the Monolith stood. And it was clear that both Faruq that had a fair deal of experience with it, and Roana, which had started learning for a while, …
