Aun’Saal Kel’tau stepped off the shuttle behind his more senior Ethereals, just a half-step behind, but that was enough of a show of deference for those who knew what to look out for.

2025-07-28 17:17:00 +0000 UTC View PostZara still couldn’t believe it. It was impossible, something no Psyker alive today ever even dared to so much as dream of. The reality of that hit her once the stress faded away, leaving her just exhausted and staring up at the ceiling of her personal apartment.

Mia watched Aiden’s face relax after a few seconds, his agonised visage washed away by relief. He tried to stand, but the mage, who had dripped the potion into his mouth, kept him seated with a firm hand on the man’s shoulder.

2025-07-21 16:00:37 +0000 UTC View Post‘When the time comes’, indeed. I’ll just have to make sure it stays the fuck away for a decade or two while I gather power. The Emperor returning in all his glory would be pretty useful for giving Chaos a black eye and pushing back their influence.
Though I would go back on my word wi...

I changed my hair and eyes, but my face and body were still the same, so it wasn’t unexpected that some looks lingered. I mean, my body was sculpted to perfection. I would have been disappointed if it didn’t earn me glances...

So, as I've said in a previous note, I'm reducing the number of chapters released. I can't continue at the current pace, writing 4 chapters (10k - 12k words) per week, when combined with my other story. As such, the Monday chapter of Arcane Apocalypse will remain the fi...
