I was discharged from hospital yesterday. (Things look good, although I might have to go again in the near future).
I have already started writing the missing chapters so they should start appearing Sunday :) After that I’ll do my best to return to my normal 7 +1 +1 upda...
2022-10-09 01:39:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello all!
I’m entering hospital for a while and won’t have internet access.
Hopefully should be back by the end of the week or start of next. (I’ll let you know first thing once I’m out :))
With luck I’ll be then gradually work back to my daily release schedule.
Viskar sat on the golden throne, admiring the mountain of treasure in front of him. The value of the raw materials alone was more than the average count could amass in a lifetime. If the history and artisanal value was taken into consideration, the haul was fit for a king. And the best part of al...

Half the people on the front lines sat down to get what could pass as a rest. It was a terrible decision from a strategic point of view, but at this point it no longer matte...
2022-10-02 17:02:04 +0000 UTC View PostMornings always started with griffins. As every bird they rose at first light, letting out a loud screech, then leaving their nest to soar in the skies of Rosewind in search of food. Some of them—mostly the younger ones—had acquired the annoying quality of begging the townspeople for food. Ma...

2022-10-02 16:58:19 +0000 UTC View PostI can’t sense him, Gleam said, fluttering close to the crack in the ceiling. Doesn’t mean he’s not there.
“He’s there.” Dallion lay on the floor, the dartblade on his left leg surrounded in blue flames. “He’s just waiting.”
Several hours had passed ...
2022-09-30 02:50:22 +0000 UTC View PostHaving a team of twelve highly skilled warriors was supposed to be a huge advantage. All of them were battle-hardened, with suitable weapons and a deep desire to destroy Lord Mandrake. By every metric, they were supposed to give Theo a vast advantage over his opponent. However, there was one smal...
2022-09-28 11:21:06 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s only fair,” the Star said. “You cost me a skill gem, so you’ll help me get a replacement. Herbology would have been better, but I’ll settle for spellcraft.” He laughed.
Droplets of sweat formed on Dallion’s forehead. Whatever the trick the Star had pulled off, it had i...
2022-09-28 10:21:34 +0000 UTC View PostBack on Earth it was said that hindsight was twenty-twenty. In this world the phrase went “a trick is obvious once uncovered.” Of course a countess wouldn’t go against an Archduke unless she had serious backing. Dallion just never expected the backing to come from the Academy. On the other ...
2022-09-25 17:02:25 +0000 UTC View PostFighting bladerers, even with two people, was more difficult than it seemed. It wasn’t that they were stronger than Dallion; at his current level he could easily defeat each of them one-on-one. It was their persistence that was perilous dragging people down bit by bit. Bladeres didn’t tire, t...
2022-09-24 21:41:03 +0000 UTC View PostDozens of buildings were scattered throughout the mountain peak, carved into the cliff itself. The architecture style reminded of Linatol, only with a few more Roman elements. Half of them were open, with walls of air stretching between thick columns of granite. The perfect weather in the realm m...
2022-09-23 02:44:25 +0000 UTC View Post“Who are you?” the metalin asked, its voice sounded unnaturally deep, as if talking through a tuba.
“What’s it matter?” Dallion asked, filling his voice with notions of confusion and recklessness. To no surprise, no connection was achieved. The tendrils of music bounced off the me...
2022-09-22 03:39:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe inside of Havoc’s home was in stark contrast with its outside. Not only was everything mended to perfection, but the man had done quite a few improvements as well. If Dallion didn’t know better, he’d almost say that he was in a rather well-kept inn in some small town.
“Here.” ...
2022-09-21 01:27:26 +0000 UTC View PostDamn blocker items. Dallion leaped out of his room onto the roof.
The constant background of voices was gone, making Dallion feel completely alone. Unlike Eury he never liked using blocker items. The experience had only gotten worse the more his empathy trait had increased. It was ...
2022-09-20 01:08:55 +0000 UTC View PostIce blades flew and aether firebombs flew through the chamber, aimed at both sides of Lord Mandrake's golem. Theo knew from his previous life that subjecting an object to a large temperature contrast was supposed to do bad things to the object. He’d also heard the same from one of the local bla...

2022-09-18 17:00:54 +0000 UTC View PostBeing the countess’ hunter was a strange experience. In some ways it was like being the Hero of Nerosal all over again, only a lot better. People would instantly recognize Dallion, always being polite and offering him gifts and huge discounts. But just as everyone was doing their best to act th...
2022-09-17 01:51:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello, all! :)

2022-09-16 02:31:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Welcome, hunter!” The guards stood to attention as Dallion approached Nerosal’s main gate. “The countess wishes to see you.”
That was fast, Dallion thought.
The news of his mission had spread throughout the city. The Countess had made sure of that and now wanted to...

2022-09-15 02:32:44 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take long for the noble to fly off. The kid could barely hide his enthusiasm seeing a dragon in this day and age was an extraordinary event far greater than having a wyvern pet. However, he couldn’t even realize the significance of what he had just seen. The count, his father, thoug...
2022-09-12 23:41:41 +0000 UTC View PostPain emerged in Dallion’s left elbow, quickly spreading to the rest of his arm. It seemed that he hadn’t managed to fully evade the full extent of the point attack after all.
Lux, where are you? Dallion asked.
Sorry, boss, the firebird chirped. The hit threw ...

Ever since his father had passed away, he had been the one overseeing the town, nudging it forward to what it had become today. Few of the people alive now remembered that two generations ago Rosewind was nothing more than a measly hamlet in the middle of ...

2022-09-11 00:37:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt took half an hour for Dallion to find the entrance to the ruins. The lack of wyverns in the immediate area made discovering it a bit more challenging. The infants that had served as direction markers so far had flown out days ago, leaving the strong ones safely below.

2022-09-10 00:35:49 +0000 UTC View PostWyverns poured up into the sky like water, all erupting from a hole in the ground. The creatures swirled round, clearing a swarm that could be seen and heard for thousands of miles. None of them were particularly pleased with the surroundings they were given, while simultaneously uncertain in whi...
2022-09-09 01:23:38 +0000 UTC View PostReturning to the real world after a battle never was easy. Even with extreme concentration, Dallion felt the shift like a wave going through him.
