Chapter 94 – The easy way, the hard way, or the Kori way.

Voices drifted in and out the same as Kori drifted in and out of consciousness. Never quite awakening, simply brushing against the world around her for brief moments.

“I’m honestly not su...

Chapter 93 – Taking what isn’t yours

The flask’s place on the list seemed especially relevant on that particular day, given what was occurring elsewhere above their heads.

“Do you even remember how to make them, Kori?” Ask...

Chapter 92 – Blowing hot air

A/N: Sorry it's late, posted in the discord chapter releases channel that I was delayed due to a migraine last night. If you're not already on the discord, it's where any adjustments to schedule wi...

Chapter 91 – So does that make Kori slime-like or are slimes Kori-like?

Bolst asked Kori to keep the secret as well, almost as an afterthought.

Did he forget I was here?

“Just try not to blurt it out if someone brings up the spiders again…” H...

Chapter 90 – forbidden petkeeping

Since she was apparently going to have to guide Kora down here the following day, Kori insisted that she be the one to take the lead on the way back and that the Elders should only correct her afte...

New years update

Happy New Years everyone!

It's now officially been a full year since the first chapters of Emberscale Alchemist became available for readers and I have to say I'm blown away by how everything...

Chapter 89 – Plans within plans.

A/N: I'll start with what you want more. there'll be a quick update post made in a few minutes.

-------------------------

“We were… umm… just making some ointment?” Kori answere...

Chapter 88 – Things that go glomp in the night.

By the time her first day was done, more than a few hours after it should have been done, they had unpacked basically all of the tools and glassware, some of which she still didn’t under...

Chapter 87 – Everything but the kitchen sink

A/N: Last chapter before the holidays, the next will be either Sunday the 28th or Monday the 29th, depending what unexpected familial obligations arise and the following will likely be later in the...

Chapter 86 – Yes, my Lab!

A/N - So apparently I left this sitting in drafts since Saturday... I was starting to wonder why I hadn't gotten much in the way of comments or notifications on the chapter...

Also this is n...

Chapter 85 – A strategy for training

The rest of the day went about the same, Blonc corrected her form, they reset their stances, then Kori ended up jabbed with a wooden knife. Sure, there were steps in between like Kori trying to do ...

Chapter 84 – Bringing a knife to a knife fight

By the time she stumbled into the brood chamber that evening, a few hours after she had been expected, everything hurt. Even if her Status didn’t show she was missing any Health, she was sorely t...

Chapter 83 – The R word.

There was of course another issue with the choice of knives, Blonc’s argument against them had never failed before, so they didn’t have any practice knives. This meant another trip to see the d...

Chapter 82 – differing perspectives

She woke the following morning to the prodding of Losq’s foot. “You’re missing breakfast.” Was all he had to say to dissolve the final few threads of sleep that lingered over her mind. Unfo...

Still alive. Chapters resuming as of now.

I'm sure you've all been worrying about the lack of posts or updates. I'm sorry for not at least making a post to let you know how things were going. I am having some health issues and over the las...

Chapter 81 – A not entirely incorrect assumption

A/N: Sorry it's late, between the holiday weekend and then being ill for a few days and going about 60 hours with only ~3 hours of sleep, I wasn't able to get much done. I've set aside tomorrow and...

Chapter 80 – Have you tried taking it off and putting it on again?

By the time the meeting had ended, a rough plan had been made. Kori would be something akin to an apprentice to all of the Elders and none of them at the same time. Ortik would govern her duties an...

Chapter 79 – Why not?

Not so much as a scale brushing against the stone floors could be heard as the assembled Elders stared at the youngling, their faces contorted in confusion at her response. No one spoke, no one mov...

Chapter 78 – Sheer avarice

Kles’ inflammatory statement rippled through the Elders, many stunned into silence with their jaws hung open, but the pair who’d been the subject of her verbal slap looked more like it h...

Chapter 77 – Too old to care about being polite

A/N: I think I've finally figured out the formula.

Maikana + nothing = useless
Maikana + ADHD meds = not useful enough to get writing done.
Maikana + More ADHD meds = Too use...

To pause or not to pause

That is the question.

Billing has remained paused since before the summer when I started to have issues keeping chapters coming. In that time there have been issues due to the pause with Appl...

Chapter 76 – The mousetrap

A/N: I'm a bit late on this one, it was fun to write but it is also probably the most dialog heavy chapter I've ever done. It's also the second longest one, with the longest having been the fight i...

Chapter 75 – Fear recognition

A/N: I'd like to think this is the first chapter back to true form and proper length. It won't even be a long wait for the next, it's already in progress and I'll be finishing it tomorrow for your ...

Chapter 74 – Round and round she goes

A/N Another short one. I think there will be another on the weekend and hopefully two next week as well. I'm setting a two a week goal to get back into the groove and will hopefully be back to thre...

Chapter 73 – All these things that I’ve done

A/N: Sorry everyone, it's been a bit. A lot of stress and some less than solid medical decisions on my part had me out of commission and struggling for a bit. I can't say I'm 100% yet, but I'm tryi...

Chapter 72 – Where’s a medicine skill when ya need it?

Slain?! But I didn’t… it was Zln… wasn’t it?

She sat in stunned silence, barely remembering to keep pressure on the open wound beneath her hands, hoping that the concoctions ...

Chapter 71 – Scales 1, Skin 0

If she weren’t so pre-occupied with herself, she’d have counted another reason that there would be no missing the event she’d just engendered. Namely the screaming and wailing. Some small por...
