I expected her to be angry at me for hiding things. Or hurt or something, but Zee being Zee skipped all of that and moved onto geeking out. She was fascinated by my power, pacing and babbling about the details and &n...
2022-01-20 20:47:09 +0000 UTC View PostI owned a jet now. Not like a tiny one or two passenger thing either. My jet was huge. It had a bed, and a shower, and more than one floor. Mina had not been bullshitting about it being able to handle everyone. So, since it could handle everyone, it did. We brought the whole cre...

The aftermath of the spell left me feeling drained. It was odd because I hadn't taken any magic into myself or used any of my own, but the sheer act of moving all that power was like lifting a heavy weight. I wa...
2022-01-19 20:25:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe people decorating the Raith Deeps were miracle workers. We'd been here earlier today and seen the layout, but they managed to completely overhaul it in the time we had been gone. The persian rugs were replaced with thick white carpets and the walls had sconces and decoration...

The preparations for the ritual were incredibly extensive. We needed a place untamed by civilization and steeped in magic, we needed to do it at midnight, and we needed help. Luckily we had already decided to te...
2022-01-18 19:21:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day of the conclave flew by. It started early and ended early and we all headed home after to get ready for the gala.

It was time. I had hit level four on the way over and I was a decent way into level four, and we'd finally hit the end of level two. It was time to fight The Butcher. Much like in the game using the Town Portal &nb...
Mab seemed to completely lose interest in me after the Arbitration, just turned and walked away without a word or glance. This was apparently pretty consistent with her character because literally no one was surprised by this turn of events. I shrugged and we all dispersed ...

I was in shock. I officially got twenty points over the last day. Each time I got more it was ten instead of five. I'd leveled up again and put all five of my stat gains into the points section. It took hours to d...
2022-01-16 20:59:24 +0000 UTC View PostContrary to what one might expect, I did not immediately leap over the massive crowd of brawling soldiers and engage in sky combat with Drakul. In fact, it was a bit anticlimactic the we had to slowly make our way toward each other through the throng. As expected my guards ...

2022-01-14 01:58:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo I was an Ottoman emperor now. Which meant I was in Istanbul. I paused, mentally singing an old song I always sang to myself when someone mentioned this city.

2022-01-09 01:42:45 +0000 UTC View PostWeirdly, the scariest thing about Drakul was how non threatening he was.
