Chapter 59: The Deal

The Next Day Some place… Some time… The amalgamation of corrupt flesh pulsed, violet skin beating in rapid succession like a living heart. “Good…” As above it, her illusion hovered; Azkel gazed down upon the bulb of corruption.

Chapter 58: Djinn

Sol watched as the once hopeless battlefield turned into a massacre befalling from the sky. Raking talons, melting spurts of acid, incinerating breaths of flame, stunning surges of lightning and freezing blasts of ice assaulted the Orcin horde.

Chapter 57: Wingbeat

Five days later Morning Erik sighed as the morning winds blew past his lengthening golden hair, watching from the keep’s parapet walk and down at one side of the Dark Citadel’s city streets below.

Chapter 55: The Dragon Empire Invades! Part 1

Lahihr 13:00   The horns blew loudly, the sound of the alarm echoing throughout the re-enforced mining city. Signalling the danger, that need not be announced.
