I was still lying on the hard stone ground when I woke up. The others were all crowded around me. Kara, Cinder,Barb and Harry were the closest, staring worriedly down at me while the other's gave them space. The tangible relief on the girls faces and even on Harry's was honestly...
2021-10-03 19:20:37 +0000 UTC View PostStrength of the River in his Shoulders is a badass. A who knows how old member of a race of magical titans with life force so powerful a juvenile non magic one can play battery to a baby succubus for a year and not even notice, and a magical genius to boot. He'd stood up to &nbs...
2021-10-02 20:39:22 +0000 UTC View PostMaking that big decision and committing to a plan felt like the climactic moment, like we were about to join the battle and finally do what we came here for. Unfortunately life is rarely so accommodating. We were at the foot of the mountain now, which meant we were close enough ...
2021-10-01 22:10:18 +0000 UTC View PostApparently, there was a ritual to contact a Genius Loci without doing the whole sanctum invocation thing. I actually proposed we have Kara do the invocation, since the spirit clearly liked her, but since she didn't have any magic River and Joe nixed the idea. Apparently there wa...
2021-09-30 20:17:14 +0000 UTC View PostBarb arrived a few hours later, we went over the plan just the four of us as best I knew it and discussed battle tactics. Barb was in prime fighting shape after her healing bath same as I was, and every one of us went over the details of our new spells and tricks in preparation ...
2021-09-29 20:53:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the week flew by. Between training in Klurkor with Kara and working on potions and improving my shield I was swamped. I trained with my aspects and combining them with the shield or Aura or even just normal casting, though I kept my word to River never to try too man...
2021-09-28 22:08:27 +0000 UTC View PostI felt almost drunk on adrenaline as I stumbled out of that crater, cackling like a madman. I threw my hands in the air and whooped with joy. Destroying stuff is fine, but there's something intoxicating about bodily smashing into a solid object so hard it explodes and just walki...
2021-09-27 21:43:30 +0000 UTC View PostWe took the potion outside behind the motel. We only scooped out a single vial of the stuff from the giant pot, but Harry was insistent that was plenty. "A pot like that will supply all of us no problem. Potions aren't really a more is better kind of thing. As long as you get &n...
2021-09-26 21:18:42 +0000 UTC View PostI grinned proudly as I walked into the room I shared with Barb, who was just now waking up. My bewitching redhead was sitting up in bed with her hair a mess staring at the wall and blinking rapidly. I recognized the look as that thing that happens when you wake up and your brain...
2021-09-25 19:55:31 +0000 UTC View PostWe all headed to bed after that, and sleep came oddly quickly. We had all been on a hair trigger through the mess with the vampires. The next morning came quickly and without dreams, I woke next to Barb, spooning with the gorgeous redhead and sat up, refreshed. My Aura was back ...
2021-09-24 22:32:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe had Kara go get the wizards so they could come tell us what the hell to do with these poor thralls. River tagged along and between him and Joe we figured there was a solid chance of them being able to help somehow. Luckily these weren't turned vampires or even Renfields. Joe ...
2021-09-23 22:07:08 +0000 UTC View PostMy immediate reaction to the noticing our waiter was to jump and crush him, but on reflection I decided the note was a better course of action. The girls needed to know but saying it out loud would have alerted him. Cinder looked momentarily confused and I realized remnant ...
2021-09-22 21:02:29 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the next few hours sitting in Marcus watching the girls try on clothes. Despite one might imagine it wasn't exactly thrilling since they were trying on winter clothes. My hopes of gorgeous girls in skimpy lingerie were met with thick ass jackets and cable knit sweaters, ...
2021-09-21 23:44:43 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned in agony as my eyes fluttered open. I wasn't in a hospital bed, or even a bed at all I was just layingin the snowy ground with Ebenezar grinning down at me. He looked up with a chuckle "He's fine" He was addressing who I could only assume was the girls and the other &n...
2021-09-20 19:48:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe next week went by much the same as the one before, only without much supervision. I spent the entire time working on aspects and my new spell. I couldn't use two aspects at the same time not matter what I tried, but I learned over the course of the week to use an aspect fuel...
2021-09-19 21:48:44 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the next week or so working on force spells. I almost died about eleven times doing it, Ebenezar hadn't been kidding about how easy it was to overdo them, if my control slipped even a bit any frustration or excitement I was feeling would ride the spell and tear the energ...
2021-09-18 18:37:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe trek back to the hotel felt much faster than the journey there. Part of that was distraction I assume, and part of it was that we were heading downhill. Regardless we made it back in what felt like twenty minutes as opposed to the grueling hour of our first journey. Everyone...
2021-09-17 18:34:38 +0000 UTC View PostAfter my talk with Kara I stopped in to talk to Listens-to-Wind who was talking with River, Mccoy, and Liberty in his room. We decided to head to bed now, it was a bit earlier than we would normally go to bed, but still early evening wasn't too far off and today had been pretty ...
2021-09-16 21:51:13 +0000 UTC View PostMeeting the spirit shook us all up, but despite searching for a good hour we couldn't find a single trace of her again. We figured the Skinwalker would have the same problem even if it came back so we reluctantly decided to head into town to get our room and board settled. ...
2021-09-15 18:36:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe condition of the bodies affected us all differently. Barb was stoic, Cinder mainly unphased, Listens-to-Wind was sickened and sad, River and Harry were angry, and Ebenezar and Liberty just looked...tired. Like they had seen too much and come too far to feel the shock a...
2021-09-14 17:33:06 +0000 UTC View PostIf I'd expected a long drawn out preparation for us leaving for Colorado, I'd have been disappointed. River and Harry had been on the way to meet up with Listens-to-Wind before stopping over and we all had to hurry and pack before leaving. Cinder, unfortunately, didn't really &n...
2021-09-13 19:23:58 +0000 UTC View PostHarry and River Shoulders showed up a few hours later. Barb, Raven, and I finally dragged our happy asses out of bed and out to socialize with the others before it happened. Sam's (she said Samantha was too formal) crush on River had surprised Barb but not Raven, which I suppose...
2021-09-13 03:43:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning was as peaceful as usual. Seeing both my girls here with me after Barb's first time was pretty damn blissful and they looked adorable all snuggled up against me. Barb had one blue eye sneakily peaking open to stare at me and when she saw me open mine she snapped...
2021-09-12 20:24:45 +0000 UTC View PostWe were all exhausted after getting home and managed to push back the questions from Yang to a later date. She recognized Cinder, but since they'd both left before the Vytal Festival she had no issues with the girl and was actually excited to see a fellow Remnant native. I left her to talk to the...
2021-09-11 23:08:20 +0000 UTC View PostIt was almost anticlimactic in a way. I mean, it actually wasn't, a guy got vaporized by fire magic and Cinder was trapped in an obsidian cage, but it felt that way. This had all been such a colossal mess and it could have gone so much worse. Cinder's compulsion, which had drive...
2021-09-11 18:21:50 +0000 UTC View PostMorgan was easy enough to settle down with Kara around, gleefully engaging in the Kryptonians introductions to Barb and Lily and Harry. The big wizard took the change of teams surprisingly well, but then I knew that Harry had a weakness for women in trouble, and it had become clear that Morgan ha...
