Gritting his teeth, ignoring the snot that flung from his nose as he took a deep breath, Magnus pressed on, not willing to share the treasure he had claimed, knowing if Odin had blessed him, there had to be a reason and this was it.
With a rush of power his legs moved slightly faster and he covered the last few steps he had hoped to get, hearing a yelp come as three noises of flesh and bone colliding into something came from behind.
Not willing to look back yet, Magnus kept on run...

Magnus had made careful and slow steps toward a sapling he had spotted. It grew closer to the edge of the barrier that seemed to be in place. He hadn’t felt anything when he walked through the area between the stone pillars and after quickly hacking the sapling down, he grabbed it and raced back to the side he felt was supposed to be safe.
He had made a ton of noise dragging that sapling behind him but for the next part, he didn’t want to work on the side of the forest.<...

“Promise me you won’t tell father.”
Her eyes narrowed and she bit her lip but after a moment the excitement and wonder of hearing her son who she knew should be dead was alive and now claiming to have seen Odin was too much.
“I swear on the name of the All-Father, Odin, I shall speak of this to no one, not even if they torture me.”
Her tone had changed and the look on her face told Magnus she was committed to the oath she had just made.
Nodding he put a hand ...

“You’ll be gifted with an able body,” Odin repeated as Magnus tried to absorb what he had just heard. “The boy, Einar, who you shall become, died. A foolish fight yet it provides us with an opportunity. Death is a possibility until a Viking’s rune slots activate at age sixteen. After that, it is hard for someone to stay dead unless they face certain foes… however, each time a Viking gets killed, the rune slots in their body, and the runes they possess will ...

As the darkness that had enveloped Magnus vanished, he woke to find himself standing in a vast, mist-shrouded hall. Massive stone statues of people wearing ancient armor and wielding swords, axes, bows, and other weaponry found in the medieval era were held by each one. They were crafted with such detail that they almost looked like real people—as if somehow, they could hold their breath while being twenty feet tall.
What the hell? Where am I?
Shaking his head, Magnus s...

Max slowly got to his feet. The dizziness he felt was gone, and when he looked, his friends were standing as well. None of them looked any better, even though they hadn’t taken a talon to the head.
“You are far stronger than you should be, and whatever it is that you did, even if I cannot find out how you have greatly impressed me. For that, you will collect all that I promised, and hopefully, we will not meet again for a few ten thousand years.”
Blinking, Max shook hi...

It is time. Amaranth and Foros are ready to watch the skies, and the army will be there within a day. If we are going to remove those blockades, we must go now.
Using Pammon’s vision, Kaen could see that a few more had been added closer to the border of Luthaelia.
Whenever you are ready, head down. I will see how much stronger this bow is against something like that.
Pammon snorted as he angled toward the ground.
We both know what it...

Wekime sat on a simple chair made of a material Phaius had not managed to acquire yet. It wasn’t something most could get, having been created and then lost eons before he ever rose to power. Only ones like Wekime and the other ancients possessed it.
The room they were in was again a simple stone type. This room was the same size as the one Phaius had waited in.
There is more power in this room than in my entire realm… how?!
Phaius didn't know how ancient ...

The color on the glass swirled as Kaen studied it.
It almost looks like that potion did. Here goes nothing.
Taking his knife from his sheath, Kaen sliced his palm open and began to press blood against the glass. Sheathing the blade, he pulled out a bottle of dragon blood and pulled off the stopper, pouring it over his hand and the dragon glass.
Smearing them together, Kaen and Pammon watched, waiting and hoping to see if they had finally found the answer.

Max stood there, stunned, trying to ensure he had heard the dragon correctly.
Turning to look at Tanila and the others, Max saw that each had their mouths open and then checked his, finding that his, too, was open in shock.
“I’m sorry? You want me to attack you?”
“I did not stutter, did I?
“No, I mean… why? Why would you want me to attack you?”
The dragon laughed, his body sending waves out again, and once more, they groaned under ...

“Who’s the cutest baby?” Sulenda asked as Hess made faces behind her.
“I thought I was the cutest baby,” Callie said as her parents gushed over her nephew and niece.
Hess started to chuckle as Sulenda stood up and groaned.
“It’s an expression, dear. Unfortunately, your father and I cannot say wow, those children thankfully look nothing like their father, or your brother might get upset,” Sulenda replied, playing with Stein.
Callie laughed and glanced up...

After they sat down on the stone seats, each stared at the gold dragon who had laid down so that it was easier for them to see.
"Tell me, why have you come for my boon?"
"We plan on defeating the tower of our world," Tanila said before anyone else could respond.
A grin appeared, and the dragon shifted, a dazzling display of scales reflecting each time he moved.
"That has not happened in a while, but none have sought my boon in what seems like a lifetime. Why do you see...

Looking down at his daughter in his arms, Kaen couldn’t help but smile when she yawned, her tiny hand stretching and the fingers opening when she did.
He kept his pinky wedged inside that tight little grip and stroked her cheek.
“She’s beautiful,” Kaen whispered as he glanced at Ava holding their son.
“They both are,” Ava replied before kissing their son’s forehead.
Some grumbling came from the couch, and Kaen saw his in-laws watching them. Lady Hur...

Max watched as Fowl moved up to the crystal first, putting his hands on it and closing his eyes. The gem glowed momentarily, changing colors until it settled on brown. A flash of light went off, and Fowl stepped back and smiled.
“Done!”

“Be safe and remember your training. We all have faith in you.”
Frederick nodded as he sat on Tazorath’s neck, clipped into the saddle. He looked like a dragon rider, covered in a full suit of armor except for the boots, which were leather ones he would swap out later for chain ones. The shield on his back and sword on his hip came from Aldric, a gift from the King. Baskets of arrows were strapped to Glynnis, and every other weapon the boy would need was on her to help with the we...

“I’m sorry to see you four are back so soon,” the guard stated, frowning slightly. “Still, I am glad you didn’t die inside.”
Max looked at the other three, who were all nodding slowly.
“It was a lot scarier than we had imagined,” Tanila said.
The female guard chuckled and nodded, pulling out her notepad and writing something down.
“Still, thirty minutes is longer than most. The reports say that in the past, the last few who have attempted ...

“Don’t stop my love,” Ava moaned.

“You don’t know how good that feels… I could melt right here.”
“It can’t be that good,” Kaen said as he watched his wife open her eyes and lean back in the padded chair her father had bought her.

Max wanted to pass out, but his mind wouldn’t let him. The pain was excruciating with every bone in his body feeling like it had been shattered.
Regeneration was working quickly, and tiny pieces of bone rejoined with each other. A heal flooded over Max, and he felt air finally filling his lungs as he tried to breathe, then wished he hadn’t, as the pain of it almost made him black out.
Trying to lift his head again, Max saw the demon snarling. Its body was encased i...

“The ground is too wet and muddy to continue. We are done for the day.”
All of the guards and the students who had been practicing for the last hour nodded, no one complaining about not having to be covered in mud or soaked through their clothes anymore.
Kaen watched the students start to file away, moving toward their dorms so they could clean up while the guards began marching toward the city.
“Three weeks,” Phillip said.

The four drew closer together, shuffling further along the tile floor to see what surrounded them.
Seats were filling up with demons of every kind, some like the ones they had already fought, many like those Max had butchered, and even more they had never seen or imagined poured through portals.
“What is this?” Batrire whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
“I have no idea,” Tanila replied. “Nothing in the history of our people tells of anything like this. Surely...

Do not drop that low! You are risking both of your lives when you do that!
Pammon shouted louder than he intended as Foros dove toward the target that Phillip was waiting to try shooting at with his bow. The silver dragon kept forgetting how different he flew with a person's weight on him. A week of flying with the harness and saddle had helped prepare him for those changes, but Phillip was over two hundred pounds of solid muscle, and it was still a new experience for b...

Knowledge and something overwhelming filled his mind, but none of it mattered. He felt himself pushed back, as the presence inside took control.

The last month had been filled with lots of private celebrations at the news of two more eggs coming in a year or two. None of the dragons knew how long it would take for them to be strong enough to be laid. Still, Aldric and Herb had been excited at the prospect of such a rare thing.
Phillip and Frederick had been excited at the news also, but their two weeks spent in the mines had taken a lot of their excitement out of them.
Kaen spent time with Hess and Bren discussing tactics ...
