Basically what the title says. Both book 4's will start being posted on Patreon from Monday, and eventually RR when there are enough chapters posted here.

Vion stood in a chamber covered in wards, deep beneath the castle. The walls around her were without any seams, having been created magically in a single go, with dimensional spells keeping this place tethered to reality with the slightest of pathways.
Not even the closest guards to the royal court knew of this place. No trusted advisors, nobody outside of the core members of the royal bloodline. Until today, that is.
She glanced at Zax who stood next to her. A fully grown a...

Noah arrived at Drakan’s stake, having realized only after he left that without Arcane Step, or Tony available he would have to walk to the place. Having arrived a little late, he could already hear everybody from inside the place, and as Noah opened the door, he was greeted by a table full of familiar faces.
“There he is!” Kaelan shouted, a cup filled with a drink in hand as he stood up and walked towards Noah. Noah smiled as he looked at the draconian man who wrapped an arm arou...

Noah sat on the rocky floor, opening up the options of his abilities as he took everything in. He’d shot up in power rapidly, and it’d done wonders for his attributes. Especially after he switched his title back to Progenitor.

After a brief look at the training grounds, Zax had found Noah and teleported to a chamber with magical runes all over the place. Moments like this sometimes reminded Noah of how easy it would be for Zax to kill him and the rest of them even in his current weakened state, should he want to.
He put the thought out of his mind, looking at the dragon with curiosity at their sudden detour.
“Apologies for abruptly bringing you here. This is something we had to prepare in ...

Noah sat in a chamber within the Drakonian palace, in a chamber that had been assigned to him. Vion had quickly met up with the King, who’d taken her away alongside Zax, while Noah and Aurelia had each been given their own chambers to rest in.
He didn’t understand what that had meant and Noah wasn’t curious enough to pry at the moment. Their return was quiet. Kaelan and the rest had not yet been informed and the group simply remained in the palace, waiting for… something, appare...

Noah blinked his eyes, looking at the bedroom he was in and trying to remember what had happened last. In a vague blur the memories came of the events after the battle.
After killing the wyvern Noah stored its heart and body in his inventory before rising on the nightshade as they returned. The return party had only suffered minor strikes, most thunder wyvern busy tending to their injuries and licking their wounds.
The return from the battle had been ridden on a surge ...

Noah let out a breath, steam rising from his mouth as abyssal inferno rose in fury, storing abyssal flames inside his body. Tony changed, forming armor on his body and claws on his eyes and his eyes transformed, the draconian pupils sharpening even further, the visage of a demon looking back.
Noah knew what his powers were like. Despite how much he made an attempt to take them as a joke or in a light way, there was something deeply wrong with him on the inside. This joy, this thri...

Noah sat atop the nightshade’s back, feeling the breath of the creature beneath him, and the nervous tension filling its body. Noah patted the wyvern’s back, feeling a similar emotion himself, somewhere halfway between excitement and nervousness.
Groups of wyverns sat near the top of the hive, watching the skies from their perches as anticipation filled their chests as well. There were thousands of them, all waiting atop the hives. The groups had been segmented into squadron l...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, as Noah continued to train day in and day out. He sat atop the back of his nightshade wyvern, the two swerving through a sky serpents trying to attack them, deftly dodging their strikes. The creatures hissed and snapped in irritation, bolts of lightning crackling in all directions in an attempt to stop the two, but the shade wyvern deftly dodged through them all, listening to Noah’s command from the subtle tap of his foot and his pats to guide it an...

It happened in an instant. Vion had felt Noah’s aura, felt its weight. It was similar to her, similar to Zax in many ways, but not truly like her. It was weaker, false, a facsimile. Then, something had changed.
She felt a shudder run up her spine, and when she looked in front of her, she no longer saw Noah standing in front of her.

Noah rested in the dimensional chamber, lying on the comfortable day. It had been a bit over a week since he’d begun going out on nightly hunts with the nightshade wyvern and today was their break day, as the wyvern had needed some time to recover, not having Noah’s level of crazy regeneration.
He didn’t mind the rest, though in truth, he also hoped he could find a better use of his time. Their hunts lasted through the night but given Noah’s relatively low need to sleep he...

The suns had set over the horizon, and Noah walked around the hive, rather quickly finding the shade wyvern curled up around itself. There were still marks on its body from the attack by the thunder wyvern hive but its wounds had mostly healed as the creature rested.
The creature raised its head to regard him with a silent acknowledgement, before returning back to its sleeping position, pretending as if it hadn’t seen him arrive.
Noah smiled as he walked up to the wyvern, ...

After they’d returned to the hive, Noah found himself back inside Vion’s chamber which they’d moved to a more convenient location in the hive. He sat in a comfortable room, looking down at his hands, feeling a strange shiver run through them. This certainly wasn’t the first time he’d almost died, not even close, but something was different this time. It had felt the most certain. The most abrupt. It hadn’t been on his terms. He hadn’t gone in and taken any dumb risks, he hadn’...

Noah moved through the underbrush of the forest deathly silent, as he trailed his quarry. Predator’s Mark and Wyrm’s Curse remained on the creature, thrumming with power. His target was a draconian stag, a giant creature with massive antlers that could breathe fire and shoot lightning from its antlers. Like everything else in this place.
Tony swirled in his clothes, his steps further silenced by the symbiotic coordinating Noah’s body and adjusting the formation of the clothi...

Noah looked at the shade wyvern sitting nearby, idly crunching on the remaining bones, and sighed in frustration. He’d spent the entire day trying to get the shade wyvern to come to him. But the only time the shade wyvern showed any interest was when Noah offered mana crystals or food.
At least it was no longer running away when Noah approached, but if Noah tried too hard to get close, it would turn invisible, and move away. It was like trying to get a cat to like you, except th...

They arrived in a room filled with a bunch of juvenile wyverns. The place looked almost like a play area, with more than a couple wyverns fighting over scraps of food, or different sticks, or just wrestling one another.
Vion looked around the area, a couple of the wyverns coming up to her and sniffing her in greeting. More than a few approached Noah and Aurelia as well, though with more wariness.
One wyvern tried to push Noah, but was surprised to find him not budging ...

Slightly longer one. Had fun writing this, and we're finally getting to the fun part of this arc.

Noah and Aurelia sat behind Vion atop the wyvern’s back, who’d grunted in annoyance but had allowed them to climb on. Though to allow it, Aurelia had to give it a D grade mana stone as an apology first. Which was first, if someone had just tried to kill Noah, he’d be at least a little mad too.
As they moved through the hive, Noah simply watched in awe at the man...

The group moved deathly silently, and only when they were a little further did Noah dare use Identify, as the description of the creature appeared.

The forest thinned around the group as they drew closer and closer to the giant wyvern cliffs. The structure started to dominate the landscape, the creatures around these parts becoming more and more draconic. Noah did not understand what the connection was between wyverns and dragons and this entire location, but it was certainly evident in the flora and fauna. They’d found a plant that shot fire sacks at you. A goddamn plant.
Noah had picked up some of the sacs and put them in...

It took nearly an entire day of walking, even with their speed, before the group finally found their destination. It was the smell that Noah noticed first, the distinct smell of water somewhere in the distance growing stronger and stronger till it was everywhere. Next came the sound, of water flowing through the area.
Tony moved swiftly through the sky, staying low enough to be under the canopies above to avoid being detected by the wyverns, scouting the area ahead. It didn’t take lon...

I'm sorry everyone for the lack of chapters. I've put the patreon on pause again, and if anyone wishes to get a refund, please let me know and I'll immediately refund your pledge. This is going to be a public post, and if you are a patreon who subscribed somewhere around March and feel like there haven't been enough chapters to justify the cost of the tier you paid, let me know and I'll refund you as well, even if you aren't current actively subscribed to me.

The wyverns continued to circle overhead, a few more arriving in the area to scout the scorched landscape. The giant reptilians moved about with uncharacteristic speed, gathering wind and putting out any remnants of the fires that may have remained from the aftermath of their battle with coordinated work. Tony in his eye-bat form had split into multiple tiny pieces that were scattered around the forest, watching the wyverns, as they constantly fed information to Noah.
The three of them,...

Noah walked towards the boar, staying below the line of shrubbery, as the group slowly moved closer, making sure not to startle the creature. The giant boar stood nearby, almost coming up to Noah’s shoulders in height, and at least eight feet in length. Noah used Identify on the creature.

Hey folks, I'm almost done sorting the college stuff (really sorry that it happened right after my break, if I could've delayed this I would have).
The final stuff I need to sort ends on Monday and I'm hoping to catch a flight and be back home by Wednesday. I really can't say if I can get a chapter done during that time period or not since almost everyday I'm waking up and spending most of my time running around from one admin building to another chasing people for either a document or ...

Hey folks! I'm back! Sorry that it took so long! Since it's been some time, here's a small summary of recent events.
Noah and the group have arrived in Draconias and are staying at Kaelan's place. The draconian they'd met in the airship they'd been traveling on. Here, Zax's identity as a dragon is found by Kaelan's uncle, which leads to the group heading to the royal court and meeting the king, and another dragon, a much younger one, that Zax decides to train. To do this, the group ...

Hey people! I'll be posting again from tomorrow! Apologies that it took this long. While I haven't fully recovered, I'm doing a lot better healthwise and the break helped for sure. Will be getting back and putting out chapters very soon. Will be taking just a couple of days to make sure I have all my outlines in place, which is why it won't be today but Thuraday, but after that, chapters will come out regularly.
Thanks for waiting!
