Chapter 52: Admissions
Rain tapped a staccato on the windows of her office. It was the quintessential Mage's study, with towering bookshelves, tables replete with scrolls and reagents. Really, it was what I expected to find in a college of magic, but I couldn't help b...

Chapter 51: Application
I pushed open the rough wooden door of the Nightblood Inn. Raven, all but invisible in her large winter cloak, glanced up from her table on the wall. Across the low fire pit, the only other patron didn't even look away from his mead. That was, ...

Chapter 50: Bonds
My head nodded forward as M'gann finished braiding my hair. “There!” She said. “Your hair is so smooth and glossy. It's like it's made of air!”
From where she was sitting on the bed, Raven coughed once. M'gann gave a startled, “Oh!”...

Interlude: Savor the Moment
“How is she.”
Black Canary stiffened at the sound of his voice, before clamping down on the reaction. The Batman very pointedly gave no sign of amusement. It was easier to deal with the League as a whole if they thought him ...

Chapter 49: Moirai
I was screaming.
At first, that was all I knew. The agony.
Black and Red mana, in a perfectly chaotic imbalance, flowed into me like lava through the unmoving channels of my body, where tt burned and burned and burned.

Chapter 48: Destiny
Klarion’s face rippled like putty beneath my fist. The bomb erupted in a tight beam, blasting the Lord of Chaos across the room. Inside of me, the Lord of Order screamed.
I was screaming too.
My vision flickered red, then blue. ...

Chapter 47: Bedlam
“Fly my pretties!” Klarion cackled. “Fly!” The mammoths smashed forward, tusks scything the air. The Witch Boy’s black lightning crackled over their bodies. Fate slipped through the gap. A barrier of translucent gold formed around hi...

Chapter 46: Discord
It took me a moment to gather myself.
Or maybe was only a heartbeat, as my body began sliding through the air on puppet strings, fingers inching upwards and mana singing in my veins. My thoughts raced, like high octane, like je...

Interlude: Crow Storm
Fate led them from the tower without a word. The team could only scramble back into the hastily recalled bioship as Fate ignored their questions and took to the air.
Raven didn’t ask, staying as far away from Fate as she could...
2018-03-12 06:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: For those interested in the new schedule, I'm changing days because my schedule wasn't conducive to putting out Friday updates in a timely manner. I want to remove that element of uncertainty and delay which has slowed down my last few updates. Sorry for the wait, everyone. From her...
2018-02-26 07:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith how my schedule has changed, it seems like I'm getting these chapters out later and later on Fridays. I'm gonna give myself another week to get on top of things, and if that doesn't pan out, I'll most likely move the release date to midnight (i.e. Saturday) for consistency.
Until then, thank ...

Sorry for the late chapter. I wasn't quite sure about it, so I sat on the last few scenes way longer than I should have. I'm... provisionally happy with how it turned out, though I think reactions will be mixed.

2018-02-03 02:12:30 +0000 UTC View PostAfter various commentary about respective power levels, I've done my best to keep this chapter true to what I consider to be the canon strength of both Taylor and Klarion. Of course, I'm not perfect, so if there's anything that stands out as odd, just let me know.

Chapter 41: Contra
After my ‘debriefing’ with Black Canary, the first day of school couldn’t come fast enough.

Chapter 40: Ideal
I would have picked Batman, but, wonder of wonders, my choice didn’t matter in the end.
Someone in the League decided to take a softer hand. So I didn’t get a quick, military, debrief from the one person on the plane who migh...

As Well Traveled has, with this update, reached and exceeded 100k words, I'll be doing something fun on Space Battles. The next chapter I post there will also contain a Q/A with Taylor (with QA taking a back seat of course). The thread will ...

When Destiny vanished from the mountain, Raven felt the ripples she tore in the fabric of the plane. It spoke of a similarity between their powers, some shared basis or function that as of yet defied explanation. That Destiny might als...

“I’m not entirely sure why she should be afforded another chance. Especially since the girl was right under her nose for the better part of a season.”
“I was out of mistral on your lead!”

“She had… another weapon.”
“And was an additional blade enough to undo your your oh so perfect plan?”
