It had been three weeks since the bandages had come up. This was our last official training session before I officially became a Journeymouse. Mousethief had let me know, I would be going on a simpler mission with my father, but he promised to keep his nose to the ground to try and find something...
2023-04-15 23:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostI was resting outside. My ID tucked into my bandages. I had classes today going over procedures and other requirements, like paperwork. It was boring, but I had made sure to pay attention. Now that that it was over there was nothing to do but rest.
While it was tempting to remain in my apar...
2023-04-15 23:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostI partially missed my attack as Michael dodged. I had been aiming at his chest, but I got his hip instead. Multiple beam attacks began to strike me, and soldiers were rushing in. I was out of time. I tried to open a breach between layers, but I failed as the System suppressed me.
The attack...
2023-04-15 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe look of hatred on the Astrologer’s distorting face brought joy to my heart as I looked on from my prone position. “Imbue Null!” The skills that were launched at him suddenly stopped, as I saw a wave of energy emerge from his body. He kicked off the ground right for me.
Training had been put on hold for a week, while my claws recovered. After getting them coated, Paladin Stormsong hand shoved my paws into a vat of oil. After that, I had my claws and paws completely wrapped up, with strict instructions to keep the extended for the next week.
Now I truly was...
2023-04-14 23:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostI was rubbing my arm. An hour of fighting and I thought I had my father, going for his arm that was overextended in a feint I had set up. But he leapt to the side, up and around me, twisting his arm out of the way. I wasn’t able to avoid the blow to my side and went slamming into the padded wal...
2023-04-14 23:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostMichael collapsed at my words. His soldiers weren’t responding as one of them shouted to hold in place. A quick glance upwards and I also knew what the Avatar was planning. My mind raced as I tried to work out what was happening. Address the issues in order.
Michael was faking obviously. ...
2023-04-14 23:02:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Zin Bin!” I heard the distorted and muffled words next to my head, but nothing triggered. At that moment I felt absolutely nothing trying to disable me. Hopefully that meant that the energy I had used around my ears and the damage I had done to my hearing was enough to stop a verbal disablem...
2023-04-14 23:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI handed the old mouse a signed off form indicating I was giving up one of my points or favors to him before the start of our lesson. We were meeting the morning after the pre-funeral party. “Sit down, so you can focus on your arm,” Gary said and I quickly lay down in the training room. “I ...
2023-04-13 23:04:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Knaves,” I greeted the fox. While trying not to stare at the other fox next to him.
“Mittens, congratulations,” he said.
“You too,” I replied.
“Ah, this is Master Assassin Redfur,” Knaves said while introducing a heavily scarred fox next to him. Large patches of...
2023-04-13 23:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostNew information had trickled in. My homunculus had made a move and the city of Esperanza had been wiped somehow. I had missed. That much energy, would have created a Calamity in miniature. An overwhelming surge of energy, which would have killed everyone.
Since it was night, you were either...

Michael’s plan he had sent via note was simple, yet complicated. I called the Captains for a last minute meeting. I had considered letting them know one by one, but it was better to just have a single meeting right before everything kicked off.
“T...
2023-04-13 23:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI got up early and dragged myself to the training room. My father had been right. The paperwork truly was soul sucking. I couldn’t tell if the paperwork was worse or small boats. I knew for sure that paperwork on small boats was a hell created for cats and vowed to never experience such a fate....
2023-04-12 23:04:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Mittens,” my father said and I quickly went over and gave him a hug.
“I missed you,” I said into his chest. He patted my head.
“You have done very well.” I let go of the hug and he gestured at the table in the kitchen. We both sat down. “Too well. I won’t lie and say ...
2023-04-12 23:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostI sat meditating while I carefully constructed a portal of energy in front of me. I had been working all evening after a meal of freshly cooked flesh. It was taking time, but my Astral Projection was slowly filling in. It would take another year or two, but I was making progress, which w...
2023-04-12 22:58:39 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone was being moved into position, and the city was ready to go into lockdown. The Protector had outlived his usefulness and I didn’t care if I took a hit in my popularity. Clarissa would just say he had used the opportunity to try and assassinate me regardless. There was no internet and a...
2023-04-12 22:58:32 +0000 UTC View Post‘Can the cameras record you?’ I asked Mes a bit worried I hadn’t thought of this before.
‘Nope. The cameras only record in the visual spectrum. I am not actually floating around. I am interfacing with your mind directly. But I am drawing energy to maintain my link, which is why ...
2023-04-12 02:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe following morning, Doctor Sharpeyes picked me up from the room I was assigned. Not the one I had been in during training, but a new room all to myself. I had a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room slash kitchen all to myself.
She had informed me there were no cameras, but I didn’t dar...
2023-04-11 23:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostNo other creature showed up until Paladin Bloodclaw returned on that horrid boat. Both Sharpfang and I made our way over to him. He gave us a look and stared at Sharpfang’s wound for a moment.
“Pendants,” he said. Sharpfang went first and handed over two blue ones and his red one. “...
2023-04-11 23:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt was complicated to fit into the shell of an adult. Especially a woman. I had to redo the skill three times, to make sure there was nothing that could be spotted with the Sense stat. Tying off everything carefully and getting actual clothing.
I used my memories of my Valkyries to create t...
2023-04-11 23:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI breathed in and out steadily while looking into the large mirror hanging over my chair. The energy was muted in the anti-curse box. The large mirror was good, but not very accurate. The blur was too much for the most part. I was just looking for any large disturbances, since I had gone without ...
2023-04-11 23:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostSharpfang and I slowly made our way back towards the dock together, through the forest. He had to go slow due to the bullet wound in his side. He told me how they had planned for Grizzle to ambush the tower while he took on the creatures in the building. Grizzle setting off the trap had messed ev...
2023-04-10 23:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostI leapt down from the tree. My skills and instinct let me know how to adjust my body to land without making a sound. It was the middle of the night. I had dozed off but, fully falling asleep a couple of times and almost fallen out of the tree once, but I had made it.
Taking the time to stre...
2023-04-10 23:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt has come through messenger 4, that the Divine Empress has a child. Working to figure out who is the father.
Normandy is out of play. Ensured coma is enforced to prevent long term complications.
Uday has been killed by Ritualist. No longer a possible threat. 2023-04-10 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post
“When was this?” I asked Clarissa.
“Yesterday. By tomorrow word will have spread. Any ideas how it could be done?” Clarissa asked me.
“Everyone? Even the Divine Empress didn’t get everyone,” I replied, while thinking as hard as I could about what the Astrologer could hav...
2023-04-10 23:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe ship finally docked. I carefully walked out onto the wooden platform after the other creatures. Everything was still spinning a bit. “I will be back in two days at midday and then midday for the next three days after that,” Paladin Bloodclaw said as the boat took off.

2023-04-09 23:01:48 +0000 UTC View PostI lined up with everyone else after a week of individual training. I had spent a lot of this week sparring with the other creatures in my cohort. That was where I had my highest tier skill, where each level meant much more improvement compared to the other skills.
Experience: -18,50...
2023-04-09 23:01:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Astrologer, congratulations on your survival.” What an interesting technique. Forming a ball of energy remotely and resonating with the energy itself to project your presence. The trick was the first bit of forming energy remotely. She was clearly using the system’s energy or goin...
2023-04-09 22:59:47 +0000 UTC View PostI focused on the energy inside of me. I had taken to observing the soldiers guarding me as references. It kind of helped give me an idea where there were issues. I had noticed that the energy inside of my body was not like the energy outside or from skills. It was a blend of various types.

2023-04-09 22:59:12 +0000 UTC View PostMy cohort and I were all lined up in the morning as Paladin Bloodclaw showed up along with a large slim rat. If he had a Movement skill it would have to be at least 90 or even max level. Just watching him made me feel like I was improving.
