327 - The Lesser Heterodox Cycle Pt. FINAL - The Sword of the Self [Cherno]
The King of Many Colours continued chiseling until, simultaneously, his finger-chisel wore away and his antler-hammer crumbled to dust. It was a few minutes, a few centuries, and an instant, but by...

“So it was no fluke after all,” the King uttered, his spirits visibly lifted as unworldly hues and five or six different outfits pulsed over his form.
“For hollow v...

At this point, Krahe had completely surpassed any form of surprise or disbelief, finding it both easiest and safest to simply move with the flow of events unless something unprecedented or obviousl...

No verbal response came; not for quite some time. The King of Many Colours, his high brow furrowed, stared at the vessel. His gaze shifted to Krahe, then back to the vessel, and he rose up from his...

It was here that she diverged from the pure path of changing the name to change the vessel. As she saw it, there was no need. If the name of something informed its manifestation, and if looking upo...

The two royals observed Barzai with a bearing best reserved for the aftermath of head-on train collision. Somehow, for reasons that evaded Krahe, the faux-eidolon's manifestation seemed to be utter...

“Is it not dangerous to allow my thoughts to roam too freely in Zor’Aguhastra?” Krahe questioned, expecting this to be a catch of some sort.
“Under normal circumstances, yes. You ...

As she approached, more and more detail emerged. Zor’Aguhastra’s upper half consisted of countless spires, all of whom were at once black and iridescent, just as the Wizard’s notes had said t...

The two titans’ struggle continued on for what felt like at once seconds and hours. Before long, the wheel on Talos’ back had come to revolve so wildly as to appear as a static circle of light,...

Krahe opened an array of mouths down the length of her left arm and on every other surface of charred skin, even including her neck the side of her face, and with them she invoked the names of anci...

The Sorcerer’s Hand effectively played the role of a substitute in a “rehearsal” of the ritual proper. After imprinting her thauma upon it, she placed it where she would begin, and spurred it...
