After waiting for nearly an hour, we boarded the train. The trip itself was relatively easy, and I was able to relax for most of it. Over the course of our ride, I explained the entire situation to Mordred, starting with myself getting captured and ending with our big fight with the masked Elder One. She was very interested in …

Opening my eyes, I saw water. It splashed up onto my face, causing me to spit and curse in return. Damnit, Sela! Every time I come back without feeling like I am falling, I end up waking up to some annoying s***. Looking up, I realized that my body had floated onto one of the sidewalls of the canal. Using …

Iscariot stood at the edge of the gate, eyes closed and completely tuned out to the world. His sole focus was on the gate and attacking the Elder One from an alternate plane of existence. A feat in itself, yet he let out a sigh, breaking the gate and his attack. Unable to continue the task, he assumed that Scott, …

Around two hours till midnight, we arrived at Mitre square so we could prepare ourselves. As we had planned, Elysif was sitting on the top of a nearby building with a good view of the area, ready to summon her familiars from a safe distance. Iscariot, on the other hand, stood behind us ready to activate the anti-magic gate. To …

Three days had nearly passed since we saw the masked man, or even heard of anyone being murdered. Even with our strategic planning, we were still lacking a fair bit of information, so we were as prepared as we could be… which was… to put it in one word, poorly. Scott seemed to have a slight hangover, so he hobbled …

“So what are we going to do now?” I asked in annoyance. Trudging into the apartment with Elysif on my back, I felt tired and sick at the same time. Behind me, Scott drudged in, shaking his head. Our clothes were slightly damp, our bodies were worn, and we all had a chill from the cold air that wouldn’t go …

(Moments earlier.) “So, Sela?” I asked with a stereotypically curious tone. “Yes?” Sela replied, still annoyed, from where they were pouting. To me, it felt as if they had been pouting for twenty minutes. It must have really bothered them that I disrupted their plans. “Could you, maybe, let me go? I think I have been locked in the Realm …

Lou sat on the floor of the apartment in a meditative position. His legs were crossed and his back was straight. The room, however, seemed to be in a more rambunctious state. Elysif and Scott were both circling around Lou like watchful guards, hoping that whatever he was attempting would work, but all it seemed to do was break his …

Lou’s more logical self woke up to the sound of fearful screams ringing in his ear. It wasn’t until a moment later that he realized; the screams were his own. Gathering himself, he got up from the bed and hobbled into the living room with a bit of a pained limp. It was still dark outside, so he assumed it …

Now, I wouldn’t say everything had gone back to normal after that. Due to my muscle atrophy, I was barely of any use to anyone at first. My muscles weren’t all that bad. With a little exercise, doing things became easier and eventually, I was soon back to normal. For a good day or two, though, I was back and …
