Akira and everyone else inside Bent-Gii held their breaths as they watched the large unknown force appear from the north. They were already tired from the fight with the demigods and were not sure how much longer they could fight or even if they could survive another full-on attack like before. Akira now held his war hammer and shield tightly …

As noon arrived with the midday heat so did a small force of demigods who approached the outer territory of the settlement. “The report just came in that the Grand elders had already sent out half of the army several days ago to come to our aid but…” Zundar did not finish his sentence as he, Akira, and prince Gobbers …

Ten dark cloaked figures silently dashed from one shadow to another trying to hide from the sliver of moonlight that lit up the area which was quite hard in an open field. They stopped some distance from a tall wooden weave fence that stood some distance in front of the settlement’s main wall. “We need to do this quickly. Over …

“So… they said it’s here?” asked Varbu, as he pointed to a spot on a crudely drawn map. “Gii gi giiiii,” said Prince Gobbers as he stroked his smooth green chin and studied the map in a very scholarly way. “Right, I would not have expected bandits to take up one of the abandoned nomadic villages so close to us,” …

The Frozenblood and BenDover guild’s battle for the abandoned territory was only a small skirmish compared to the many other settlements that were under constant leadership changes. If it was not one of the Big 4 guilds of the Foradverold continent fighting for the territory, then it was dozens of smaller new guilds that popped up as new small parties …

He pulled his hooded silk cape up to cover part of his face and then used a light scarf to cover his lower face. When he was finished disguising himself he gripped his two newly made daggers ready to stab them into anything that …

Semore Budz and Doot both cursed their bad luck. Their attacks negated the expensive one-time use invisible potion that had been given to them by the guild leader of the new BenDover guild that they had recently joined. They holstered their two small hand crossbows and without a second thought jumped off the wall near the gatehouse escaping before any …

“… and then the festival will start with the three main events. The private meeting with allies in the courtyard, the parade down the main street to the Docks, and boarding the flatbed ships to announce the news to the residents of the outer city.” Samuel read off the day’s schedule as Mileena straightened Akira’s collar and re-positioned the Dark …

Akira spent the rest of the morning helping with the many projects that were going on all around Kodria. His main focus was helping make sure that the farmers had enough tools to quickly clear and till the land to plant the fast-growing crops needed to support Kodria through the majority of winter. He also made sure to keep Kodria’s …

Akira used his muscular arms to carry Mileena up the many stairs and into her old room that was next to the one they now shared as husband and wife. Her old room had been modified and everything inside was new, such as the reclining couch near the window, a thick carpet to cover the entire cold stone floor, and …
