Getting Warhammered - 255

AN: Got a new kitten, been busy making sure he's settling in alright (and trying to get him to stop peeing all over the place), but I'm still in a much better place backlog-wise than a month ago. Behold: New Chapter.

P.S.: Just in case. This story is not a...

AN: Aaaaaaand we are finally done with the Raid. Damn, it took a while.

The Guardian, now in its new direwolf-like form, was darting around in the forest, zig-zagging between the trees and … playing catch with one of the scouts? The rabbit beastkin girl with...

It was at the fifth ritual site that something strange happened, just as I finished turning a bunch of Bloodletters into filet. This ritual had been conducted in a damp cave that somehow managed to be even drearier and even more ominous than the rest of this damned ball of mud and misery. The dis...

A Bloodletter rushed at me, hatred in its eyes, a need for blood and murder guiding its steps. It wielded a flesh cleaver, of all things, which it held raised above its head. 

For a moment, I just stared at the simple creature as its steps ate up the distance between us. It ca...

Title: Guardian - Part 2

AN: Alright, part 2 of the fight, with part 3 wrapping it all up next Monday, and hopefully we'll be out of the Raid by the chapter after that if things go to plan. Hope you guys are enjoying the ride. Things are finally starting to come...

Mara hugged the fluffiest, most huggable of her many fluffy friends tightly to her chest. Her eyes, narrowed with a primal dread and fixated on an unassuming section of the sky, slowly started to ease up. Her tiny brows evened out, the frown seeping out of them as the small girl slumped.

AN: Hi, quick note, my goldfish memory once again tricked me. I'd been calling Echidna's silvery anti-Warp infused psychic power 'Judgement' in the earlier chapter, but somewhere a hundred or so chapters back, I'd been calling it 'Smite'. So, I'd gone back and edited the previous chapter, swappin...

Arcane Apocalypse ~ 134

A crack reverberated across the forest, and hushed conversations died in an instant, heads snapping towards the source. Mia felt her heart stutter as a cold dread coiled in her gut. 

Her eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, were fixed on the origin of the deafening crack. She saw it, then gulped...

AN: Bit of a cliff at the end of this one, so you might wanna wait till Wednesday if that sort of stuff annoys you and read the two chapters together.

The blasted prey kept zipping about, and it was driving Reginald all sorts of mad. He was seething, apoplectic in his rage as the Star he had to kill kept slipping through his fingers. 

He saw red as he felt his prey once again zip away. His rage burned in his chest, seeping t...

Arcane Apocalypse ~ 133

The morale of the group was down in the dumps, and the divisions were obvious, but suddenly having the finish line in sight managed to infuse them with some vague sense of cohesiveness. 

Mia stood on the edge of the floating island, peering down the ledge and out at the forest of greyi...

Selene couldn’t help but let out a tiny, undignified squeak as the floor dropped out from beneath her feet for the second time in what felt like a minute. It was setting a distressing precedent, but … she would just have to get used to Echidna sweeping her off her feet, wouldn’t sh...

Getting Warhammered - 247

AN: I'll be trying to make only the more interesting planets we are conquering take up more than a single scene, or mention. We'll have to be speeding up a bit soon, or I'm going to be forced to spend a hundred chapters describing every single battle, which would bore both you and me to death bef...

Arcane Apocalypse ~ 132

The initial excitement and anticipation that rose like a tide following the Quest Completion notification died down as the hours went by. There was nothing for the majority of the Raiders to do but get busy waiting for the scouts to find the Guardian. 

Everyone had been high-strung wit...

Ps: ((this is saturday’s chapter))

The worrywart Kroot emissary sufficiently mollified, I got back to what was actually important: cuddling my beautiful lover.

In the meantime, as there were still days until the Tau could remake their plans on account of me throwing all their timeline predictions out the window, I decided to...

Arcane Apocalypse ~ 131

The moment they reached the base camp, and Mark fortified the ground underneath their team’s tent enough to ward off those blasted moles, Mia crawled into her sleeping bag and fell asleep.

*** A few hours ago, upon the surface of Ravacene ***

General Severian Holt felt himself … snap free, for lack of a better word, from his mortal coil. The world dimmed, along with his thoughts, though his emotions intensified. 

He felt a pull on himself, on his soul, and he happily allowed it to drag him towards what must have been the ...

Arcane Apocalypse ~ 130

AN: Oopsie, apparently, I'm an idiot. That's probably not much of a surprise to any of you who've been following along for any appreciable length of time. Somehow, I managed to post the same chapter for both the Archon and Arcanist tiers.

Lord General Severian Holt was gritting his teeth as he saw the reports come in. That idiot Rurke had to charge headfirst into an enemy fleet ten times the size of his forces, and fielding a monstrosity that’d give a Gloriana-class battleship a run for its money.

Vampires made pretty good trackers. ‘Born hunters, ’ Nikki had called them, and Mia could see it. She had experienced it during her spars with her redheaded girlfriend, but only now could she see the girl truly in her element.

AN: Hi there, sorry for the late update. I kinda laid down for a nap and woke up five hours later, feeling like a vampire waking up from a 500-year hibernation, under direct sunlight. Anyway, here's the chapter. Hopefully, I copy-pasted the right one.

How much of it was fabrication, how much of it was mere conjecture, extrapolation or an outright lie, Aun’saal Kel’tau didn’t know. But there was a certainty in the way Echidna spoke that made him listen and consider her words instead of dismissing them as foolishness.

Mia botched her first spell, her attention still just mostly there and her thoughts muddy, which almost blew her arm off. As it was, it was her damned Familiar appearing before her and sending a flash of warning through their Bond that made her stop and actually think.
