Chapter 6:
Valter rolled his shoulders to bring the waterproof hide higher on his shoulders and against his neck. Eyes bouncing between alleyways and shadows that might hide a person.
The rain and clouds covered the sun that he’d guessed to be around midday.
Waste that had been thrown into the open gutters on the sides of the main roads were swept away with the day’s rain.
Valter pushed it from his mind. Getting out of this city was the priority. Then he could make...

Chapter 5:
Celestia ran through the halls of the sacred sanctum, the place closest to the gods of the Geraxi Empire. The mandates and prostlates glared at her but she paid them no heed, her feet ringing off the inlaid marble floor as she jumped up two steps at a time past murals depicting the wrath of the gods, their benevolence towards their followers.
They were in great numbers, they had been ever since that cursed battle with Ilus.
Celestia had wanted to run through these...

Desari shifted her footsteps, taking the group down a side-street, then through a hurried alley between burnt and broken buildings till she was satisfied no one else was around.
“Okay, we’re going to need to blend in here. They’re going to be looking for fighters, do any of you have skills other than fighting?”
“I know how to farm? Work with wood?” Petor shrugged.
“I know how to put nets together, fix ships, a fair bit about necromancy, r...

He bashed another blade away from the left, a man to the right turning to stab him.
Petor pushed into the gap his spear stabbing through the side of the man’s neck, mana flowed as he channeled it into his muscles, fighting to protect Valter’s side.
Mya blasted one Valter had thrown back, Desari flowed between Valter and Petor taking off another’s limb.
Petor cut him down as an axe swung over her head.
Valter got the edge of his shield up, diverting the blow, and ...

They threaded through streets, people hurried from building to building. Some used buckets, pans and whatever they could to try and douse the fires tearing through their homes. Others called out and cried, rocking back and forth, having lost more than a home.
The broken remains of homes littered the streets.
“Incoming,” Valter raised his hand as rocks smashed through buildings around them, turning them into shrapnel.
Petor glanced at the sky, trying to r...

Thunder cracked and holes appeared in the heads and chests of a half dozen, Mya snapped a smoking cannister out of her weapon as Desari smacker her hands together, a lance of air tore through three fighters, she wiped her hands across their front, the air turning to a scythe the took down the remainder.
The wind and flames in the room were drawn to her as faint vapors collected in a ring of Mya’s, causing the black stone to glow a brighter blue.

“-four horsemen, but two of us are women!” Mya yelled as Petor’s hearing went from distant, snapping into crystal clear.
The light was blinding.
“Who put a sun in my skull?” Mya yelled.
The light dimmed into runes along the inside of a pyramid, stretching down the walls in lines and formations before crossing the floor to four pedestals under each of their feet.
Petor looked at the others.
Desari and Mya were unchanged other than the to...

We're staring a brand new series. I know that we had some other chapters up earlier. I have nearly completely changed the story line compared to the last version.
Here's what I've cooked up so far:
Petor died defying the very goddess he once wished to pledge his life in service to.
On his way to his judgement he and three others that sought to defy the gods are given a deal. To sign upon the dotted line they will get another chance at life, ...

“What is the nature of the deal?” Petor asked.

I wish to make a trading contract with you all, that I get the first pass on rare gear that you gather. I will give you lists of jobs to complete as you see fit.

Petor screamed into the darkness, regaining the ability to speak, his screams guttering out as the pain faded from his body.
He choked back his tears of relief.
“I’m going to fucking kill them all,” A woman growled. Okay well I’m really not alone.
Petor’s head snapped up. Three others stood around a campfire, beyond the flame’s light, fog twisted and danced, no stars lay in the sky, no trees or horizon could be seen in the distance.

Desari lowered herself on blueberry, an arrow hitting a nearby tree.
“I think it is about time we found that crossing.” She hissed as another arrow found a tree, glancing back, she could make out the outlines of the hunting band, they rode bears, wolves and other creatures from the forest, armed with short bows and axes.
Another group moved up along their flank, trees obscuring their aim for now.
“There should be a way to cross ahead!” Mya altered h...

Desari rose, deathly still as she stared into the forest.
Valter stored the last of his gear, scanning as he drew a crossbow.
“Enemy.”
Valter grunted in agreement and they started towards the mounts.
“How the hell do they know where we are?” Mya muttered.
Petor threw everything into this storage devices, following them over to where their mounts waited.
“They think that we’re dead, so they must be tracking something else.”
