Training Hall
Rise of Winter, Week 1, Day 3
Tiltham was not happy when Freddie and she arrived at the training hall. It wasn’t much more than an oversized barn, but Freddie didn’t really mind. She did mind, however, when she realized what they’d be eating. To clarify, Tiltham was unhappy with Freddie, and Freddie was unhappy with the food.
“It’s jerky. And water.” As Freddie looked through t...

Maid To Be
Fall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 6
“A lady’s maid!” Melinda exclaimed, her voice frantic.
“I know,” Gristle bemoaned. “I was hoping to pick one before she asked for it.”
The two heads of the household staff looked downcast, barely meeting the other’s eyes.
“I was getting everything ready, and I’d finally convinced Sylvie to take up the position permanently,” Melinda sighed.

Off The Path
Rise of Winter, Week 1, Day 3
It was a short visit, where the boys each gave Freddie something different. Hue gave her a handkerchief with the symbol of Nemo, a star emblazoned in silver on a black fabric. Les gave her a nice pair of leather running shoes. Gene gave her a locket that, when opened, display...

“Juniper?” Gristle said, his face tilted to the side. “The hireling from the kitchen?”
“Yes.” I agreed immediately. I blinked at the odd look on Gristle’s face.
“She isn’t a maid.” He followed up with, his voice pointed.
I nodded.
“That’s okay.”
“And she hasn’t been trained to be a lady’s maid,...

Fights
Rise of Winter, Week 1, Day 2
Freddie ate dinner slowly, practicing using her strength in all the right ways. An interesting thing about having so much Vitality was that she didn’t grow as hungry or as sleepy. Her mother had told her she also wouldn’t have to use the bathroom as often anymore —her body would be more efficient at processing waste and extracting benefit. It was a neat boon.
Her brothers had not jo...

Rune Creation and You
Fall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 5
Back in my room, I ran my fingers over the front of my spellbook.
Theoretically, I had unlocked the next lesson, but I hadn’t opened the book to check. On the journey over, I hit Level 10 in both [Mana Sense] and [Mana Manipulation], both of which gave great boons once I got to their milestone levels. [Mana Sense] allowed me to separate elemental mana from ambient...

“What?” Freddie’s grandfather leaned in, “What are your options?”
“It’s… unique, that’s for sure,” Freddie responded, distracted. “I got three acolyte Classes, kind of. I also got one pure fighting Class, three noble Classes, and the [Citizen of Maeve] Class.”
“Well, you can cross off anything related to the Gods, that’s for sure.” The old man grumbled, and...

“I see you’re in better spirits,” Dame Arella said, a half smile on her face as she repositioned me to settle on her hip.
It was nice to be held by her. The last time someone had done so was Sir Rellar in Perry. I hadn’t realized how much I had been missing physical touch. Shade had to cling as tightly as his knit claws would allow on my collarbone lest he be flung away in t...

“Guess what?”
All eyes were on Freddie, and she had a wicked grin on her face.
“I don’t need to guess,” a woman with long pink hair said, her eyes softening as she met Freddie’s.
Aster Nemo.
“It’s your birthday, Fredericka.” Her smooth voice carried through the room and silenced the rest of Freddie’s family. “How do you feel...

It was quick, at least. A single whack with a crowbar straight to her temple. She didn’t have to stick around while she bled out. She was just… out.
It was almost like falling asleep.
Of course, she wasn’t asleep. She was dead.
Around her body, pandemonium continued. The man who’d hit her was already dead, brought down with a bullet through ...

Lunch was a silent affair –as was dinner. I spent them reading and sifting through the information about mana pearls. The more technical the writing got, the more at home I felt —reminded of elsewhere and jargon that was barely comprehensible to anyone but the researchers. Sure, I had Noir with me, but at some point, his animation faltered, and I felt that calling a spirit forwar...

Dear Nora,
Clara wanted us to write something long and hearty. I wasn’t sure what to write, so instead, I’ll tell you what I want to be when I’m older—what I want to be like the next time we meet.

As I reached the top of the [Descent of Astrala] staircase, I saw Sir Limrick looking down menacingly at a grimacing Gristle.
