Chapter 17 — Magic might be a struggle, but it’s nothing a few enchantments and a knife can’t solve.
Lilis crossed her arms, huffing as she strode at pace to keep up with me.
“You can’t seriously be taking her up on that offer. There’s no telling what an untested potion might do to you, or if she’s even telling the truth!”
“I know that,” I grumbled back.
In truth, I wanted to tell her to mind her own business but knew she’d insi...

Apologies everyone for the lack of posts lately! I’ll have one Saturday for sure. I’m also hoping to go back on my ADHD meds. My psych appointment is tomorrow! It should help a lot, assuming that goes well. I’ve admittedly been a bit of a scattered, unorganized mess, mentally. With meds again, I should be able to add some structure/organization back into my days and feel a bit more motivated! Which will mean more writing! Thank you all for your support <3

Chapter 16 - Do I have to beg to make you stop all this poking and prodding?!
[CW: needles, blood]
Healer Aevn proposed an exchange of information—the ingredients she would need for this potion in exchange for a “brief and perfectly safe” medical examination. As reluctant as I was to trust the woman, I agreed. It wasn’t as though I could stop her were she to force the matter, and thus far, this was my only lead toward changing back. I needed to know what...

No chapter today, unfortunately. I’ve gotten a bit behind on writing due to a several day power outage that happened over the weekend. I’m hoping to start doing Wed/Sat chapters, if I can. Though I’ve found it difficult to do two a week as of late, so no promises.
In other news, I’ve quit caffeine again lol. I’m pretty sure that I can stick with it this time, since I’ve given all my coffee to a roommate and I’ve been doing well at not drinking anything caffe...

Chapter 15 - No one told me there would be slippy slides and creepy medical rooms!
The two of us made our way through the lounge—an area of the women’s dorm that I’d yet to see. Bright, towering windows stood on both sides of the large space, providing plenty of light for studying. Along each table sat small lanterns and candles, none of them currently lit. The lounge wasn’t full per se, but it also wasn’t empty.
I gripped around Lilis’s arm as numer...

Chapter 14 - Thinking thoughts and stuff is really hard when you’re a hungry succubus, I think?
It had been several months since I’d last dreamed of Amethyst. Every time I thought I was finally past those dreaded nightmares, they would return.
I only vaguely remembered her, in truth. We’d had but a few months together, and I was still a child then, ignorant of the ways of the world. I couldn’t deny that she held a special place, a beacon of kindness in m...

Chapter 13 - Everything has a cost.

“Closely related to incubi and distantly related to vampires, succubi have their own unique attributes.
“Unlike most other species of demons, which tend to vary in strength and power, succubi appear to be universally minor in their threat rating. Few have any magical capability, and most accept their demonic summons out of desperation rather than other, darker motives. This is not to...

Chapter 12 - It’s important to spend time and bond with your roommates, or at least, to hang awkwardly around them.
I’d known that the library would be a long shot, though part of me had still hoped to find even the smallest clue toward reversing this curse. Instead, all I’d done was confirm my inability to use magic, at least in its more typical forms.
Part of me wanted to give in, to just accept that my goal of transforming back was hopeless. Bu...

Chapter 11 - Never trust a diabolist, especially when they make your stomach do weird flips and flops.
I glared at the hand hovering in front of my face, willing my mana to pass through it and do, well, anything. My other hand gripped the seat of the chair tight enough for my red skin to pale. On the study table, several books were splayed open in front of me, while others sat in a haphazard stack to the side, discarded. Thus far none of them had bee...

It was difficult for Camilla not to stare down at the girl in her arms as she sped through the forest. Between the longer white hair and her large rabbit ears, Pearl looked both the same and different. It was obvious that she’d had some kind of breakthrough, triggered by whatever happened between her and Silas. The event pushed her firmly into the first true stage of cultivation. Were they not running for their lives, Camilla would have been quite a bit more exci...

Silas fell backward, stumbling to the ground as the wave of mana exploded out from my body. His sword flew off to the side as it slipped from his grasp and tumbled onto the dirt a few feet away. Neither of those things held my focus, however, as a tide of pain continued to crash throughout my body. My scream still rang in my ears as I sucked in a heavy breath. The mana from my core seared into my flesh and bone, as though trying to consume me whole.

I struggled against the Praevus’s grip as he tightened his gloved hand around my face, keeping me from shouting. Even as my teeth sunk into the leather, the man didn’t flinch. The blade against my throat had disappeared, but Praevus Emver had yet to let me go. I shoved and fought against him, elbows, hands and feet jabbing against his armor. Yet his grip on me never budged.
Why? Why are you doing this, Camilla?

“As requested, the demon,” the provost announced with a gesture, as though presenting me for inspection.
The arbiter gave a nod, his dark, empty eyes never leaving my own. Provost Selvune gave me a nudge forward, though in my petrified state, I barely moved a step. Instead, the arbiter moved forward to meet us, until finally I had to look up to match his gaze.

My hands pulled against the rope bindings, twisting in an effort to slip out of its tight hold around my wrists. Yet no matter how much I tried, I made no progress.
They were far too well tied, especially so for someone with no experience in escaping them. As expected, the sentinels knew what they were doing. My fidgeting did little more than rub my wrists raw.
As my horse continued at a trot, following alongside the Praevus and his men, I couldn’t he...

Decision made, I turned and went to the surface to swim back, then stopped. I don’t need to surface. Despite everything, I felt a smile spread across my face.
I wonder how fast I can swim?

Blood.
I drink blood.
My boots stomped against the floor as I pressed forward through the halls, ignoring anyone I passed.
It didn’t make sense. Vampires were supposed to drink blood, and they were a notably different sort of demon to succubi, despite some superficial similarities. So why did I do so...

My shoes dragged through the sand as we approached the ramp across the dunes. Jamey twirled around ahead of me, his long brown hair twisting as he swayed up along the wooden path. He was barefoot already, his feet sliding along the sandy boards, and in all likelihood, collecting their share of splinters. Not that he probably noticed, given all the “pregaming” he’d been doi...

The second explosion hadn’t been nearly as shocking as the first. Though even as it shook the ground, I had no idea where it was. In truth, I was far too stunned by the smoking rubble in front of me to pay it much mind.
At the Praevus’s insistence, we approached one of the horses. Lena hopped up into the saddle with a grace I couldn’t hope to match. As I stared up nervously, a sentin...

Lena walked just beside me, her hands clutching tightly around my own. The smithy was just ahead, yet the further we went, the more tense I felt. Something about the streets felt… barren. It wasn’t that there weren’t others around. We’d passed one or two by on our way. Yet something was off; we just weren’t sure what.
Lena met my gaze, and I knew for certain that she felt it too—like a strange sense of trepidation in the air. I squeezed her hand, both of us staying ...

[Edit: So this isn't a new chapter per se, but I did rewrite the latter part of it. And it's different enough that I think it might warrant a reread? I was really struggling with the next one, and I realized it was partially because this one was off in a couple of ways. Chapter 8 is about half done now (after I also rewrote much of that lol), so it should be done before Friday. Sorry for the delay! =3]

In my many years of life, I was certain I’d never had a nap quite that terrible. Groaning, I rubbed my forehead.

Camilla stared defiantly at the man across from her, tapping her foot against the rough wooden floor. Leon stared back, as though completely unaffected by her gaze. The man was being obstinate, refusing to answer almost all of her questions.
