Seth once again hammered the giant creature with his fists, each blow landing with a dull thud against the stone. On the other side of its body, Nightmare tore at the Elemental as the corrosive smoke hissed while corroding the rock. Colossus did his best to hold the One-eyed Giant Elemen...
2026-02-02 05:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostSeth, Nightmare, and Colossus became bringers of death in the cavern's gloom. They fell into a deadly rhythm, ambushing every patrol of Earth Elementals that strayed too far from the giant tree and its dozing guardian; in less than half a day, the remains of more than three dozen Elementals lay s...

'Yeah,' the direwolf answered while limping toward a shallow alcove in the cavern wall. 'It's not like you could give me a potion, anyway.'
Seth grimaced. N...
2026-01-21 05:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostSeth ran a few steps behind Kaelen, Nightmare pacing silently at his side. The direwolf remained tense, a low growl rumbling in his chest as his crimson eyes lingered on the assassin's back.

For the next two days, Seth, Colossus, and Nightmare scoured the winding tunnels in search of an Earth Seed. On the first day, they'd stumbled upon a region heavy with the acrid scent of ash, where skittish Fire Elementals darted between molten cracks. After a brief hunt for any Essence or Seed t...
