23 hours later   “I’m Hungry, beastie where’s the food?” Ivyieth whined for the third time as they traversed the hallway, her hair had been cut and it now barely reached her shoulders.

Chapter 50: Their Strength! Part 2

Erik lead the way, and Nerick followed silently. An unusual silence surrounding the usually loud and talkative man, glancing back Erik also noticed him gazing off into his surroundings with a blank expression, as if in thought and only following through instinct.

Chapter 50: Bonds we’ve made…Part 1

Makaela groaned as she stretched out her arms, having to endure the recoil of strain that came from overuse of her enhancement magic.

*Enter Epic Background music* … *Squeels*   “Because this is me, the me I choose to be.” Erik said, as lightning suddenly rushed out of his body, screeching with every tendril that struck out.
