99 - Meet the Villains

As Lexie stared into the cool blue eyes of the man across the street, her heart spiked up several notches. She knew him. She really knew him but for some reason that information was hidden in her brain, by several layers of…something. Maybe fear. So much fear. Whoever this man was, he ...

98 - More Battles, More Cards

Lexie’s next match was against Lane and it exposed a bunch of her vulnerabilities.

Lane was faster than Cara, and his speed worked differently than hers so <Windkiller> did not affect him as strongly, at least not without Lexie bumping it all the way up, and exhausting her mana in t...

97 - Two More Cards

“What?” Lexie exploded startling the two other people that were on the train with her. She didn’t even bother to give them apologetic looks but she did lower her voice as she hissed, “What do you mean Xena’s gone to Planet Fae?”

Dewie shrugged. “I mean exactly that. I saw her ...

96 - She's Gone

When Conrad said Shadow's name and Tate’s, Tate bounced down to the mat without hesitation but Shadow took a second to glare at Conrad before he went.

As Tate and Shadow faced each other, Lexie could feel the tension radiating between the two. Though Shadow didn’t say much to anyone, he...

95 - Lexie Vs Cara...For Real

Lexie didn't know how to react. She barely knew how to breathe. She was desperately trying to maintain her cool, but it was difficult with Top Dog standing there in the flesh staring at them.

Especially when his eyes narrowed on her and he frowned. “Don’t I know you from somewhere?” 2025-04-13 21:30:38 +0000 UTC View Post

94 - Hero Association Meeting

The room was already tense before Monty Ward walked in.

He didn’t have to do much to read the auras of everyone here because they were practically leaking most of their emotions into the air. Boredom, dissatisfaction, anxiety, suspicion, amusement… it appeared as a melding of color...

92 - Lexie's Thrilling Dungeon Discovery

Lexie went down several times to check up on her dad. 

Luckily he was out like a light and had a dreamless sleep through most of the night.

Meanwhile, Lexie couldn't sleep at all. Her father’s words continued to echo in her brain and she couldn't forget them. Couldn't ignore th...

91 - Creating the Teleportation Effect And Getting The First Hint

It had taken Lexie several days and a lot of scouring to create this teleportation-like effect. It was difficult enough to find cards to combine, but then they also had to be a part of the same deck. That was a tall order to ask.

She'd gone through almost a hundred decks, sketching out seve...

89 - Mana Potions

Naem disappeared from the window and Lexie felt the pressure in the atmosphere ease. It was strange that she barely even noticed it when she talked to him, only now that he was gone. She thought about it briefly and then pushed her chair back to rise. She went downstairs and heard the door shut b...

88 - Another Conversation With The Lord of the Eldritch

Even as she jolted upright in her seat, heart throttling in her chest, Lexie had a split second where she didn’t know what she was going to do. She simply sat staring at the Eldritch manling floating outside her window. Her first thought was, “Well, that’s creepy” quickly followed by, “...

87 - Asking Questions

Torin Firebringer didn’t look any happier than the last time Lexie had seen him. But she was beginning to think it was just his face. He had a permanently dissatisfied countenance. 

The guy next to him though, had an irreverent grin that flashed off two dimples on both cheeks. He loo...

86 - Killing Her Wind

Aiden seemed like he wanted to continue talking about the 'boyfriend' issue despite Lexie’s insistence that it was a non-issue. He was worried about her getting her heart broken and was equally determined to either prevent or coach her through it.

He kept going on about Wisteria Calmpotte...

Lexie blinked. “I thought that’s what you just did." 

83 - Training Session Discovery

Lexie told Aiden about Naem’s visit when he came home. She, of course, left out the very enlightening conversation they’d had, at least for now. Something told her that Aiden might not appreciate her talking to the Eldritch Lord about things like that without his presence. 

“He c...

82 - Private Discussion with the Eldritch Lord

Lexie’s first instinct was to run. 

Her hand fumbled with the door handle behind her, heart pounding out of her chest. Her knees shook and her breath ratcheted in her throat. She didn’t even have the wherewithal to scream. The fear that flooded her was so intense that it literally ...

81 - 3 Feet Apart

Conrad had given Lexie thirty seconds to come up with a strategy. 

Unfortunately, that wasn’t nearly enough time. Lexie went through her cards quickly to see which one could counter Cara’s apparent speed. She came up with nothing.

<Hustle and Shuffle> wouldn’t be a go...

78 - First Day Of Training

The world felt a little stiller and quieter without Xena and Dewie there. Stranger.

Dewie texted her when he arrived at Ronan Fae Ambassadorial Island, to let her know that her bracelet had survived the trip, even though Veronica tried to take it from him. 

Lexie told him to tell...

77 - New Everything

Xena screamed so loudly that it brought Aiden and Emma running up in a panic. And even as they stood there, demanding to know what had happened, Xena just kept on screaming as the video played on her system screen.

She only fell silent when she jumped on Lexie with what might have been a hu...

76 - The Battle After The Fight

Lexie waited for it to sink in for Conrad, her teammates, and the rest of the onlookers. As she held the flag over her head, the crowd, some of whom were already sticking their hand up to be chosen next, quieted down, muttering their confusion. She heard Blondie make a choked sound and even Lane ...

75 - Lexie Vs Conrad Grace

Abernathy and Co. didn’t seem to know how to react when Lexie walked forward. 

They made vaguely shocked sounds along with several other people in the crowd. Lexie heard a few of the onlookers whispering, wondering who exactly she was and why a nine-year-old was challenging Conrad Gr...

74 - The Puzzle

Lexie watched the show for a few seconds before she made sense of what was happening. 

It seemed that they were playing a modified ‘capture the flag’. Except that the flag was sitting on Conrad’s head, attached by a cute pink headband. 

The three teens opposite him wer...

73 - Mission Accomplished...With a Twist

Getting escorted to the Genius Bar by the very same guys who had tried to kidnap her the first time she was here, wasn’t on Lexie’s bingo card. 

Neither was the fact that they all seemed to be fanboying over her Uncle Max. 

Dungeon Delvers weren’t really popular in the...

72 - Back To Moulding

After her friends left, Lexie managed to map out the logic tree that combined <A Compelling Argument> with <Shut Up and Dance>. Unfortunately, as they were two cards from different decks, testing the combo out would be difficult, and according to Elvira 'probably impossible'.

"A...

71 - A Productive Day

AN: Someone pointed out my different spellings of Torren/Torin. I think I'll leave it as Torin, which looks better to me. 

Lexie didn't know whether to view this as a win or not. On one hand, she got to go see Isaac again, and this time with protection. On the other hand, she ...

70 - Starter Deck

Lexie’s plan the next day was organized in a series of steps though not necessarily in chronological order. 

One, she needed to talk to Xena and find out everything that happened with her and the men in black.

Then she needed to go see Uncle Max and try her hardest to convince ...
