Severa Book 1 (Chapter 17)
The Archive was not a single hall but a sprawling complex of chambers, vaults, and stairwells stacked into the heart of the Academy’s oldest keep. Every wall seemed laden with stone-etched formulae and erased annotations from long-dead researchers, while the air carried the faint mineral tang o...

Fabrisse didn’t know if the Quartz-Mutated Nibberhare had noticed them staring, but if it had, it hadn’t cared enough to move yet. It sniffed the air then lowered itself into a crouch that made every muscle coil like a wound spring.
“Don’t make sudden movements,” Liene whispered. ...

It didn’t make any sense. How come Fabrisse Kestovar, of all people, pulled her mental health out of the nadir?

They’d already managed to capture six more hares, and that wasn’t necessarily a good sign. Veliane could only maintain so many constructs, and the net of her light glyph had sagged with the weight of their extra prisoners.
Veliane said, “If these hares keep fighting inside here, the l...

I think the challenge for me with writing Severa's book is that I have to treat it like a separate entry instead of just an extension to Fabrisse's POV. I'm going to post it separately on Royal Road, and naturally a lot of readers will be completely new ones. I think right now there are things in...

Severa’s breathing had stabilized by the time they reached the dungeon’s entrance. The weave of warmth Halveth had threaded into her had dulled the worst of it—what had been a gnawing, suffocating throb in her chest was now only a muted undertone, steady enough that she could draw full brea...

They had to devise a new strategy, though Fabrisse didn’t think the problem lied in strategizing, but more so in how they actually implemented their plan. Liene insisted on not murdering the pest, which ruled out the most efficient approaches, so they had to settle for creative measures.

Fabrisse had forgotten he had a skill called Shadowed Reposition Protocol until a hare the size of his torso shot straight toward his face. And today, he learned he could cast that skill only by thinking about it.

Marrieh Halveth never let her boots touch the ground. Each swirl of crimson wind carried her like a kite on its string as she rode the air.

They tried the same routine twice more, crouching through the undergrowth with Fabrisse coaxing the wind and Liene playing with her golden lights. But the nibberhares were far from stupid. After the first capture, the colony seemed to realize somethi...

The last time Severa Montreal had felt fear was last week, when she was jumpscared by a medium-sized spider. That one was lame; she didn’t talk about that. The time before that, however, was real. She had stood before the examination dais and felt her focus drain away, knowing the spell wasn’...

It took only minutes on the second level for Severa Montreal to realize this would be a punishing run.

“This is a Hearth-Laughed Brick,” Min Hajin said as he returned the brick to Fabrisse. It turned out that Fabrisse hadn’t yet had the skills nor the knowledge to assess this brick, according to Min, who’d spent half an hour on assessment. Fabrisse couldn’t even feel its emotional imprin...

The remaining skirverns seemed to have flapped their wings more slowly. They now moved in a circle as the scent of their fallen kin carried on the aetheric currents. That was the annoying thing about skirverns: once one of their flock died, the rest went into revenge mode.

So I’ve gotten accused of AI-generating my book, and em-dashes aside, I can assure you the only thing I have in common with an AI is the inability to remember which skills Fabrisse has learned over the course of the book (which has led to more than one instance of harrowing editing). You are te...
