Did Caavaa not tell them they were supposed to wait for Grímr? Because they acted immediately and didn’t wait for the large alicanto to pick them up, many of the mermineae have taken notice. The Forvaal I got the drop on is only one of many able to ignore the pain of their burns.

Despite how much he’d seen, he knew that there was always something more waiting out in the world to discover, but never did he think he would see the other side of the Alps.

2023-09-29 02:52:41 +0000 UTC View PostI poke at a feather on the alicanto’s neck. Despite it no longer spinning around the bird’s body, the plumage remains sharp. The bird twitches again. Grímr must be having trouble learning to control this beast. While it took a few moments to put the reins on the lizard, he has yet to achieve...
2023-09-27 03:29:52 +0000 UTC View PostControlling my spear without my hands is far harder than I expected. Even the lazy twirls around my body feel like I’m trying to balance it with a foot. It’s a bit like when I first grew my wings; the unfamiliarity of using my flames to grasp makes my actions feel alien.
Cycling t...
2023-09-25 04:00:56 +0000 UTC View PostI try to say I’m not hiding anything or any other lie, but the words freeze in my throat. I’ve not needed to lie in such a long time that I’d forgotten the changes made by the Fog prevent me from saying anything but the truth. Of course misleading by limiting the information I give has work...

He wants us to stop the other mermineae moving through the Alps. That they are trying to reach the other side — the ‘beyond’, as they call it — isn’t surprising. We’ve passed thousands of them on our way throug...
2023-09-20 03:47:24 +0000 UTC View PostMy body snaps together a moment before I crash into the snow. I’m already dropping too fast. There’s no way I’m pulling out of this dive. The only thing I can do is clamp down on my form and try to cool my exterior as much as I can without chilling the heat within. If I can keep all my heat...
2023-09-18 07:14:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe tunnel is thankfully tall enough that I can fly over the heads of the mermineae without issue. Black stone above allows me to shoot past them without notice. While there are a few of the mermineae active in the centre of the tunnel, most hide themselves on the walls of the cavern.
I stumble away from the hole, moving toward the space with no thermal presence. Talons are not very comfortable to walk on, and I struggle to move without staggering. Thankfully, none of the mermineae have noticed my presence yet. I can only be thankful that they don’t have a fire to light thei...
2023-09-18 07:10:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Really?” I can’t help my excitement at the news. “Finally?”
“Well, yes,” Grímr says. “But there are a lot of mermineae crowding the path. Even alone, I don’t think I could sneak by them.”
He looks up at me in concern, but even with his worries about the number of...
2023-09-18 07:02:18 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve been down here for months. Thankfully, I never got caught in the middle of the fight between giants. In as long as I’ve been travelling through this cavern, not once have I seen the giant centipede afterwards. While the arachnids will often drop on the creatures after they get swarmed by...
