The Tower From Nowhere
Zones rise and fall all the time in the world of Biprism. That is the great thing about this world, something that I truly love about this place. The thought that your actions, great, small, or indifferent can bring about wide sweeping changes to the ...

The A-Mazing Race
Alexa was surrounded, clearly poisonous plants lining the walls of a maze and a giant minotaur chasing her, encouraging her to move faster. While she was fairly certain she could do a number of things to save herself from this situation, she felt that tha...

A howling gale flooded the hallways of Arcanarus University, in a moment what had been a place of untold training and magical glory imploded on itself. Hundreds of students perished overnight, while hundreds more went missing in the spirit tower that erupted on its campu...

“You’re back already?” Luke asked as he followed his sister right to the entrance of the Dawning Light Tier II dungeon.
“Clearly.”
At that response Luke just rolled his eyes. “You know most people use that as a way to start a...

Jackie Cruise had been at home when the holo-vid call came. Even now, she still had to sit down and look at the recent call listing to see if the call had been legitimate. A few seconds later a contractual email was sent to her, letting her know that no, it was not a prank.

Sometimes You Just Have to Sit back and Watch Justice Happen
Now I have never been too big on Karma, as a thief getting into the Karma game is a bad business. That said, there are certain things that go beyond day to day Karma, somethings that mark your soul for all eternit...

The Delegation Circus
Tuesday
The motorcade made its way towards the hospital, just like they had for the past three Tuesdays in a row, though this time things were different. Alexa could all but feel the growing tension in the oversized vehicle that was being used t...

Not Fleeing the Burning Building
Generally when your magic teacher has a look of panic on their face and suggests that you do something, it is often considered best practice to do as he or she indicates. In this case, the order was to escape the room. Something I could do r...

Lily Moore
The look was fairly intimate, if anyone would happen to come by and see the way Lily and Alexa were intimately close to each other, they would almost assume that this was a private moment. In a way it was, the two had their hands c...

One of My Kind
Ten hours. Ten long hours of nonstop talking and narration on my part. I like Rahul, but maybe not this much. Well who am I kidding, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was clearly missing sleep to learn this spell and narrate the story, I would likely be on c...

Can We Talk
Monday
“Can we talk?” Alexa of all people asked Julie immediately after class was released to go to lunch. Of course, Julie herself had been simmering all morning waiting for just such an event. Though she was caught flat footed by the fact that Alexa...

Causational Epiphany
Have you ever had a eureka moment when you were in the middle of doing something mundane like washing your hair? I almost wonder how bald people get anything accomplished, though maybe they have more time to think about superficial things like decipheri...

The Elven Delegation
Realizing she still had a few minutes, Alexa first ran to her room, got a quick shower, created a new set of magically created clothes and then grabbed her school supplies and left for class.
By the time she arrived to class, she was surprised to ...

Third Time Is Not As Charming
A quick shower, a hot meal, and a quick nap; three things needed to have a great day. Or at least a good rest of your day. I was back up and moving, though a bit more slowly that previously. The reason I was moving slower than normal was...

No Rest for the Weary
As soon as I awoke, I found Día and Jess both standing over top of me.

After class was let out, I could almost feel the tension in the air. There was no real sign that anything was amiss. The students around me clearly didn’t notice that anything was odd as they all seemed to be moving about as if nothing happened, or rather no...
