426 Unweaving a Puzzle

Althea rolled her eyes.

"What? How is Daniel a prisoner, and you're not? You're made of Daniel."

Torix's eyes flared green.

"Semantics. Now, let's go and finish uncovering the sec...

425 A Moment Between

The rock clattered off of Torix. He pointed at her.

"Don't discriminate. My unlife is worth just as much as yours. Anywho-"

They turned to me. Half of my runes glowed red while the othe...

424 A War Waged

Eonoth left me stunned at his environment's hostility, but I endured the beating.

"Agh. Eonoth. You've got to work on your reception. This place is hell on Earth."

"Is it truly that int...

I raised an eyebrow.

"What could he even scrape together out of this situation? It's looking pretty bleak."

She clapped her hands together.

"Something you'll learn about Torix is ...

423 A Broken Facade

Before I could reply, the Seer crashed through the Infinity Plaza's entrance. The avatar of Etorhma brushed off bits of rock before forming a spear of his strange mana. He pointed the weapon at me....

422 A Chase Across Cosmos

Her face warped with anger and defiance.

"You'll find my claws dig deep. It's hard to take what I have, and you're not the first to find that out. You won't be the last."

She began fadi...

421 A Defier

One of the guards yelled.

"Hey, what are you doing there? Stop that."

I lowered my arm, taking a step backward. As I did, the primordial ether bent and bowed like an old home's floor gi...

420 The Shattered Spires

Althea murmured.

"What's got it so mad?"

I grabbed the portal I wouldn't let close. I jerked it back and forth above my head.

"This."

Like Plazia warned, maintaining a movin...

419 The Mad Gods

Althea scratched the back of her head.

"How did it know? I couldn't even tell."

I frowned.

"Me neither. It's like it could see right through them."

We walked to the checkpoi...

418 A Changed World

I scoffed.

"Someone's psionically controlling you. It has to be the warlord of New York, right?"

They all gazed at one another, confused. Once more, they regained composure, and the lea...

417 An Alienating Ascension

Quinn ran off, laughing. They joined their friends, and they all waved me goodbye. I waved back before Althea pulled me up to the moon's central monolith. She took a breath.

"Are you ready to...

Book 2 Beginning | 1 To Make a Difference

Keeping that goalpost in mind, I considered how to progress. I stuck with an attribute heavy approach, something Kessiah made light of at one point. She mentioned endurance and willpower based buil...

416 An Everchanging Life

Helios leaned back.

"That...That's clever."

I smirked.

"I have my moments."

"Speaking of, I was wondering if you'd be willing to offer me some assistance."

I raised my...

415 A Dark Fantasy

This was the same kind of split, but it wasn't a clean, sterile kind of cut; this jagged mark would leave a nasty scar. It sat in the center of the darkness like a jagged splintering of reality, st...

414 To Know Death

Shalahora's form condensed, his figure looming.

"If that is what must be done...I still don't see why you see the need to do this."

"It's for our future."

"Harbinger...You cannot ...

413 A Paradigm Shift

We laughed as mana glowed over me. I grabbed one of my wrists, inspecting my arm.

"For real, I was actually working on a skill."

She brightened.

"Oooh, did you get it?"

I ro...

412 Reforging A Mind

She whispered back.

"I'm sorry. I did."

Tears of silver began falling from the man's eyes. They landed in the pool. His reflection blurred. As the sharp clarity of his reflection faded,...

Reminder of Plans Moving Forward

Yo guys. I actually stuck to the 21 days of consistent posting I talked about, and then I began my new schedule. As a reminder, it will be three posts a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'll ...

411 Caught In a Cycle

I smiled but it held no warmth.

"Tell me about it."

I peered at the cabin.

"Hm. It looks like you managed to scramble together a half-decent life out here."

Jacob narrowed h...

410 A Broken Home and a Broken Man

Neel waved me off.

"Don't mind that. What happened there? You were giving him what for until something changed."

I peered at a breathtaking view.

"I remembered a part of who my mo...

409 Memories Of Broken Glass

I met her eye.

"I don't want to terrorize them when we meet. I feel like if I did, I'd lose this opportunity to confront my past."

They nodded, not needing another reason. We walked to ...

408 Another Time In Another Life

I flicked his forehead again. Neel rubbed the spot.

"It'd be real nice if a sexy grandma was rubbing my damn forehead instead of little ole me. Hell, it'd be even better if she rubbed somewhe...
