A week went by in a blur of crafting and hunting. All fighters were out looking for creatures to kill so we could feed our hungry people, but it wasn't enough. To make matters worse, hungry bellies meant angry people, and the friction of several thousand angry people was beginning to spark into r...
2024-05-07 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey, you!” I called, pointing my axe at the massive mountain lion. “Uh… turn around? Go away?”
The massive cat hunched its muscled body and leapt forward into a galloping run. Right at Immie, who was not prepared to deal with a charging lion. Crap.
I unleashed my aura of we...
2024-05-04 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe were having what little food was left in the house as breakfast in the morning, because as a group we’d just decided to stay the night here. I’m sure someone was getting worried back in the much-shrunken Edgewood town, but none of us cared too much.
“Hey, Kaia,” Alec asked, chewi...
2024-05-01 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I got up and made an excuse to retreat to the master bedroom for a few minutes, Scott followed behind. Of course, I didn't even realise he was there until after I'd slumped down onto the bed, ready to cry the stress away.
“Kaia,” he said, idly rapping a knuckle on the doorframe. ...

I left the school through the front gate again, because I didn't feel like dealing with everyone I'd meet in there. The wind was still gusting heavily, but it lacked the payload of snow now, thank goodness.

2024-04-23 07:11:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe glass shattered into twinkling shards. In moments, the contraption that gave the boss a portion of its shields spun out of control. The spike on the back of my new axe pierced the disk inside the machine on my second swing, as I made damn sure it wouldn't spin up again.

2024-04-23 03:50:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe rumbling grew more frantic as the red light approached and we rushed down a side aisle. We only just managed to get behind the bookcase when the thing arrived. It was… not what I was expecting.
Peeking through the shelves didn’t give us the best view, but I think I’d seen somethin...

My aura of weakness lashed out from me in a barely visible wave, while my body began to glow as silvery wisps of light trailed lazily off me. Each enemy it hit was faced with two options—Either continue charging blindly at our group as a whole, or swerve and kill the new irritant that was makin...
2024-04-17 03:19:36 +0000 UTC View PostWe managed to set out for the library in relatively short order, which was good because we had no idea what would happen. The only intel we had on the library was that the interior was uncharacteristically dark, almost murky even. It wasn’t the same as the Primary School had been, however, but ...

Organising a party to hit the library took longer than I thought, because on the second day, I made an incredible discovery while tinkering in the workshop. I was Kaia then, of course, and what began as an exercise in simple curiosity quickly morphed into something much bigger.

I glanced back at Chloe reflexively, only to find her watching me. My cheeks heated, and I turned quickly around again. Oops. Caught staring… wait! But she was, too! There, fair is fair.
April laughed under h...
2024-04-08 06:29:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe kitchen staff were fine with us stealing some of their bowls… mostly. Two older women stared daggers at us the whole time, and judging by the way they kept poking at their crosses, I could guess why.
Anyway, when we rolled on back to the shrine, we placed the three bowls beneath the s...

In reality, it was just a small wooden shed with one side open, shielding the statue from the worst of the elements. Still, I was proud of the work we'd done. Some of my friends had ...
