The long, sweeping arms of Falconet drew Pandy in like a welcoming embrace, and she flew straight over the intervening buildings, coming to a landing on the steps just as Isidor and Tempest drew into sight.
There was no doubt the tortoise would have beaten her if she hadn’t had to go arou...
2025-09-10 20:46:08 +0000 UTC View PostIsidor was sneaky. Much sneakier than Pandy would have given him credit for, in fact.
Even inside the bubble of her shield, she could barely hear his footsteps, and he darted from one hiding place to the next with barely any hesitation. Each time they approached one of the knights, Isidor w...
2025-09-10 02:45:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Not a ghost,” Pandy told him. Then, seeing his expression, “Not a ghost. An elemental. It just…got enough power to become visible for a moment.”
Or something. She could examine that later. Right now, she had something else to look at.
Holding out the pouch, she mot...
2025-09-09 00:35:47 +0000 UTC View PostPandy scrambled backwards, tearing through cobwebs like damp tissue paper. Isidor froze, looking around for whatever had frightened her.
Seeing nothing but dusty cobwebs, he frowned, then tapped the globe on his shoulder, which burst into light. Sudden illumination revealed a cobblestone st...
2025-09-08 04:20:07 +0000 UTC View PostWe're going camping in approximately thirty seconds, and today's chapter isn't done. I'll get it when we get home on Sunday!
2025-09-05 21:10:50 +0000 UTC View PostWhen she rejoined Isidor, it was to find him prodding the spider’s abdomen with a complete lack of the horror she herself felt.
In fact, he looked as if he’d just been given a particularly interesting gift, and just didn’t want to damage it. Glancing up at her, he raised his brows. 2025-09-05 02:10:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Once her eyes adjusted, Pandy discovered that it really was fascinating to soar over the city, watching people hurry home from work, or whatever they’d been doing on a cool, drizzly day.
Some held umbrellas, while others pulled their hats low over their faces and hunched their shoulders b...
2025-09-04 01:34:32 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Thaniel and Isidor went to their room to get ready for dinner, Pandy took the opportunity to speak to them.
Switching to Ms. Wellington, she told them that Augustus was sick, and that the reason she’d been so late was because she’d been helping him. She could tell she’d actually ...
2025-09-03 03:55:19 +0000 UTC View PostPandy wanted to head straight back to the Rabbit’s Den, but there were a few problems with that.
The first, but not necessarily the most difficult to overcome, was the fact that she had only the most general idea where it was.
Knightmere wasn’t a large city to someone used to popu...
2025-09-02 02:20:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe answer was, apparently, that they didn’t. Instead, Pandy shifted back to her rabbit form and went to visit the library.
There, she explained to a very unsympathetic dragon everything that had happened, and he promised to retrieve the necessary medication, though not without some grumb...

2025-08-30 06:47:56 +0000 UTC View PostApparently, Mistress Rose was allowed to open any door in the school, including the one leading to the chancellor’s private quarters.
That made sense, since it seemed like a good idea to make sure your medical personnel could get to you in an emergency. The doctor ushered Pandy in, told h...
2025-08-29 01:56:55 +0000 UTC View PostTheir next stop was Beau Bradorf, who lay on a pallet in a corner together with several others, none of whom looked like they were in good shape.
He was the only one who was conscious, and he was speaking to Healer Sinnett, who now wore a mask over his lower face, along with a pair of suspi...

You can send me any questions right up until then, and I'll ...
2025-08-26 21:49:23 +0000 UTC View PostEventually, Augustus allowed himself to be led back out of the darkness. Pandy had returned to her rabbit-shape quite a while ago, so he was carrying her in his arms, one hand absently stroking her ears as they emerged into the open air once again. Stars still twinkled overhead, but the moon was ...
2025-08-26 21:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostPandy had to waste two heals on the Boss before he was able to answer Augustus’s questions, and since her Mana still wasn’t regenerating, that annoyed her more than it probably should have.
Several of the thugs were also pretty badly injured, though as far as she could tell, none of the...

Quick as a flash, Augustus grabbed one of the metal bars Pandy had chomped out of the window. With a short, brutal thrust, he impaled the spider and twisted, prying it up off of Beau’s leg. The m...

“Get them up,” said a voice Pandy hadn’t heard before. It was deeper than the smooth voice, but with a similar accent. Something about the way the consonants landed sounded a bit familiar, but it took Pandy a few more words ...
