2020-03-18 04:01:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day dawned all too soon.
In many ways, it was beyond me to be exhausted now. My body could not tire.
But that didn’t address the mental exhaustion from casting so many spells. I’d been up most of the night fixing the damage I’d done to Liliana’s courtyard, to say noth...
2020-03-16 18:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe moon cast its sliver light over the courtyard.
That wasn’t me being poetic, the moon on this plane didn’t shine with the faint white light I’d grown used to, or even the rusted red of Nirn’s. Instead, it painted over the night with silver, sharper than even the brightest night f...
2020-03-13 20:52:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a struggle to keep my face calm as Liliana drew me deeper into the room, setting me to the right of her throne.
The symbolism was rather obvious.
Raven drew back, mingling with the Liliana’s horde of zombies. I didn’t envy her for the smell, but at the same time, I almost w...
2020-03-06 17:52:36 +0000 UTC View PostLiliana gazed moodily into the Witch Bane Orb.
It was an interesting creation, the artifact that she’d bartered for with the Vampire Lady Olivia Voldaren. Just as its name indicated, the orb protected its wielder from malicious sorceries and afflictions, most often cast by witches upon th...
2020-03-03 00:05:16 +0000 UTC View PostI’d like to have said that my alternate took my hand and pulled us both across the Blind Eternities to our destination without any fuss.
Of course, that would have been too easy.
The moment I reached out and took the other Taylor’s hand…everything shifted.
Vote on which chapter you want to see as a bonus for March! Poll closes March 1st.
2020-02-26 17:47:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe correct answer was no.
That’s what every book, every cautionary story and children’s tale, said to do when given a Devil’s Bargain.
No matter how clever, or powerful you were, the Devil always collected his due. There were no winners, only those who lost less, those who lost...
2020-02-24 21:19:56 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Apologies for missing Monday's update. I left my computer at a friend's house over the weekend and it messed up my whole writing schedule just as I was trying to get reoriented to the new twice weekly updates. It shouldn't happen again, but since this is a transit...

There had still been enough material left in my prosthetic limb to pry off a wall panel, after I’d summoned a copy for myself.
Would have loved to make a couple more just for the parts...

2020-02-10 18:43:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe situation was, in a word, dire.
I was trapped with no recourse in a ritual circle. My friends and teammates were trapped inside a simulated dream that they believed was real. Martian Manhunter, the one supporting the dream, was trapped by some device in the hands of an unresponsive Red ...

2020-02-01 22:23:40 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, that feeling of foreboding had me teach more than a few defensive spells to my friends. It offered little peace of mind, though I didn’t let my apprehension show, beyond warning the rest of the team to be on their toes.
For the moment, though, nothing seemed to come of it.

That was the first thing I noticed. She danced past my rapier more like a living shadow than someone of flesh and blood. She was faster than me, with all of my enhancements.

Chapter 55: Intermural
