Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 38

The Elf Gate, the final piece of the Ban’dinoriel, the front gates of Silvermoon that was practically impenetrable as the sunwell itself powered the shield protecting the city opened before us. 

It wasn’t closed, there was no threat outside the walls, and so the people of Silvermoon had free access to the city and countryside.

Walking underneath the massive gates, which were utterly ridiculously big, it was honestly awe inspiring.

The Elves knew how to work stone, n...

Considering I was sleeping next to Mama and Papa, I couldn’t exactly stay up all night trying to make a new spell, so instead I went to sleep like a good elfling.

But the next morning?

I hurried over to El’Tela after checking on everyone the next morning as we got started. Dropping another heal on El’Tela, as her hip was still bothering her, but at least she had more time to get down from the carpet and rest in more comfortable positions.

But then I climbed on board an...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 36

It felt like the whole world stopped. 

The gate behind us closed, the fighting was still going on behind it, and yet, it was over.

Almost everyone just collapsed in the dirt and grass. I forced myself up, to walk around, some people were still injured, harmed in the last flight to the gate. I found Kel’Etor with her son still hunched over her, she looked out of it, the after effects of the Resurrection at the very least. I crawled up onto the cart, and wanted to just pass o...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 35

“Keep moving!” The shout was starting to become a common refrain. The sun was dropping which was causing some concern, but I mean we were elves. 

We might not be Night Elves anymore, but the night vision was still exceptional. I just wasn’t sure how good Troll vision was, so I was once more at the back of the convoy throwing Caltrops in our path.

After the fight, we’d seen them a few times. Mama and Liennar had gone out a few times to kill the scouts, with only minima...

“Okay, it’ll last a day or so, and then melt away, so it won’t hurt people later on.” I explained looking at the spell. It did make it a bit more expensive, but that was just the trade off.

“Acceptable.” El’Tela said having been watching me make the spell refinement and judging me the entire time.

“Glad you find it acceptable.” I said a bit sarcastic, but then I shook it off. With a bit of work, I conjured some water, and then with a wave of my hand a handful of ...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early chapter 33

There was a lot of running around. Ma’Rika’s order to only grab supplies to move of course wasn’t listened to, and many of the villagers were sent back with their very important item that they had to take with them, to put it back, or hide it.

Mama, Papa, and I went to our home and quickly gathered our valuables and hid them away in Papa’s enchanting storage.

“You collected a lot more of that than I thought.” Papa muttered, as he looked over my boxes of Dust.

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 32

It took a while to realize that Mama was behind me hugging Papa just as tightly, I was just too busy crying into Papa’s robes.

I had feared deep down inside in a place I hadn’t wanted to even think about that he might be gone.

Eventually I sniffled and pulled myself away.

“Sorry for getting your robes wet.” I whispered, sniffling deeply to keep my nose from running any more than it already had.

Papa just smiled at, his warm hand reaching out and cupping my ...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 31

We ran for a long time, until we got far enough away we could stop and handle injuries.

The one Ranger I had healed from the Tomahawk was still bleeding out his back, and he had to be pulled off his Hawkstrider carefully.

He was the worst injured of those that remained so I focused on that.

Only when I was done did I fall into the dirt.

My body was shaking. Adrenaline spiking.

And yet, almost stupidly, my brain was distracted. I’d leveled.

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 30

The entire tower seemed to shift into a rush, as men and women ran around gathering supplies. Mama did the same, but all of her stuff was already in place.

She hurried me out of the tower, and back to the stable.

“Mama… Is home okay?”

Mama jerked at my question as we left the tower, and I could feel the tension in her hand. “El’Tela’s keeps the village safe. Your father… He’ll be fine.” She said, but it didn’t sound like she was entirely confident. She p...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 28

Riding a Hawkstrider was a very strange situation, it wasn’t like a horse or something, it was a completely different beast. Literally.

But Mama knew how to ride so I mostly just clung on and tried to enjoy the experience.

That and I considered the situation.

The Stag had been powerful, and a reminder that even if I got the point I could fight Trolls there were stronger things out there. I still needed to get stronger, and that was the problem. I was a good all arounder ri...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 27

“Ow.” I wheezed, finally managing to get some air into my lungs. I hadn’t had my chest caved in, it just felt like it.

“Dorah!”

“I’m-Okay.” I continued to gasp, slowly sitting up, my whole body ached, phantom healing pain filled every inch of my body, the sharp pain where the splinters had struck me mixing into the dull ache across most of the rest of me.

But..

I glanced at my character sheet. I couldn’t help it, how could I avoid it, when I felt...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 26

A/n Merry Christmas! Extra long chapter just for you!

“Umm… An arrow?” I responded as Mama looked at me shocked at the light show I had just put on.

“That is not what I meant, and you know it.” She argued as she walked over, seemingly checking on me, and then looking where the arrow had thunked against the tree. “That was… Well you almost had it.” She said and I nodded.

“Yeah I figured it out now.” With a breath I brought my bow up and with both ha...

“She said she was sending it to the Hall of Theory?” Papa asked, and I nodded. I was kicking my legs a little as I sat beside him. 

“Yeah, she was taking it really seriously.”

“It sounds serious. The Hall of Theory is where Magisters check spellcraft.”

“Makes sense.” I muttered kicking my feet, then shrugged. “I don’t really care.” I decided and he looked at me confused. 

“Why not?”

“I don’t need a bunch of old p...

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 24

“Just be polite Dorah, and if anything happens, you can just come home.” Mama whispered to me as she stopped me at the door, and tugged at my shirt and hair a bit.

“I’ll be home soon Mama. Nothing to worry about.” I said firmly, and she smiled a bit weakly, but nodded. 

Then I turned and there was a guard at the door, fancy armor, and a half sneer on his face. Although he simply walked away when I reached him, and so guided me back towards El’Tela’s home.

Under the Light of the World at War: Early Chapter 23

“Oh wow!” I gasped as Mama smugly handed me the gifts. “Mama!”

“Heehehe!” Mama laughed smugly, trying to hide her massive smile. 

“You got me a sword and shield!” 

“I did. You practiced so hard, that you deserve something. It’s real though, so don’t play with it.”

“Of course not, you respect a sword.” I said firmly, as I gently pulled the blade free of the leather scabbard. It wasn’t fancy, but it didn’t need to be. Basically...

PTV: Early Chapter 140

The sunlight peering in through my windows slowly forced me to wake up rolling over wasn’t enough to get away from it. “Morning Pillow.” I greeted and the Growlithe’s tail wagged a bit but he was happy to stay lazy.

“Lulu.”

“I pointedly didn’t wish you a good morning.” I grumbled, turning to glare at Riolu who had been sharing my bed. “Your bony elbow was in my side multiple times last night.”

“Rio? Luuuu.” She questioned fakely. She’d done it o...

“I Glorious and Beautiful Kunoichi Nike! Protector of the Moon! Demand a battle!” I called out, half surprising Janine as I leapt out of the hidden door and landed in a ninja crouch.

“Wha? Vic-”

“Glorious and Beautiful Kunoichi Nike! Protector of the Moon!” I interrupted her, pulling out a premier ball and holding it forward. “And I demand a battle against the Gym Leader!”

Janine was just looking at me half surprised before she started snickering, but if th...

Phantom Star: Chapter 41

“Okay bring it in!” I called out, as the Crabbits in a long stream slowly brought in piece after piece of equipment and parts. Stripping the pirate ships was an ongoing affair. There was a lot of equipment I wanted out of both ships for the Phantom Star before I sent them off to be scrapped.

Watching the line of materials slowly inch in, I worked to guide the Crabbits on putting things in the right spot.

Most of this was the goodies coming out of the Flying Prak. All the compr...

PTV: Early chapter 138

“Okay so it should work just fine.” I muttered, as I sat out with Blue Heart. It was early morning and I was looking over the instructions that had come with Lusamine’s gift. 

The new TM system was basically the same as the old one, as a user, at least it tried to assure me of that. The back end of the system was drastically different. Lusamine and the Aether Foundation had, thanks to the reveal that modern TM's damaged the pokemon that used them, the push to completely remak...

Ghost in the City: Early Chapter 238

“Hmm.”

“Don’t hum at me.” I grumbled at Wakako. “I got the gun out of the place while the police were actively raiding it.”

“You were supposed to not be seen.”

“I wasn’t.”

“They know someone broke in.”

“Yeah and the guys hidden safe beeped when it was open. Tell your client if he wants to install a safe make sure it’s a quiet model.”

“Hmm.”

I sent Wakako a glare and she puffed on her cigarette before noddin...

PTV: Early Chapter 137

“Alright, Goomy!” I roared and she woogled for a moment, building up the momentum and pounced. Tackling forward and smashing into her opponent!

“Bliss.” The cute giggled didn’t help as Blissey looked down upon the pokemon that was rocked back. And the smile of a Goddess fell, a single flipper rose up, then down.

“Vicky! Phone call!”

The flipper stopped and Goomy was completely still for a moment facing it before she basically went completely flat, nearly all t...

“Well ain’t that something.” Papa exclaimed as I showed him the box with the dozens of disks. 

“It’s really cool, a bit extra, but I think Lusamine is kinda like that.”

“Extra?”

“You know, over the top.” I explained, and Papa just nodded.

“Well I guess it’s as good an excuse as any.” He muttered, and I blinked.

“An excuse? For what?”

“You to get on with training, you have the Elite Four to fight soon, don’t you?”<...

Ghost in the City: Early chapter 237

“There, just perfecto! Just keep that look, no, don’t touch your hair, it’s falling perfectly, ruffled and teenage angsty! No no! No, talking you will shift your hair.” She demanded from me, as I almost opened my mouth to ask what teenage angsty was supposed to look like.

Fucking weirdos, and that was coming from me!

Thankfully, even with the bright lights setup, my Kiroshi were more than capable of adjusting to the glare of camera flashes. 

“Ugh, look at this...

PTV: Early chapter 135

“Alright! Let them have it Jangmo-o!” I roared, and already our training was showing. 

There was no need to call out the move, Jangmo-o charged in, claws scrambling on the battle square as he ran right up to the Charmeleon, and as the Fire type readied a Flamethrower, Jangmo-o’s Dragon Pulse finished, he opened his mouth revealing the charged energy, and the two attacks slammed into each other.

The explosion filled the arena with smoke, and I grinned as a familiar form ...

PTV: Early chapter 134

“Vuul!” The little fox howled at me as I raced away laughing. Getting everyone together for a training session the next morning had gone well. Arcanine especially had been super happy, and the baby team had shown amazing improvement!

Dratini had impressed Milotic and Dragonite so much they were still praising him.

But the explosions and damage had caused the newest pokemon to wonder what was going on, I’d of course taken the opportunity to start a game of tag and now I had...

Phantom Star: Chapter 40

The pounding of my heart in my ears was blocking out all the ways I could handle this.

Sure, I could call the Securitate myself, explain the situation, but, if what I suspected was true, that would just leave the scrappers time to steal whatever they wanted and get away. They weren’t here for the long haul. Likely the Iris Drives were already gone from the wreck.

And more importantly than that, My Crabbit would be gone, no way they would just release the drone, that would reveal...

PTV: Early Chapter 133

Riding Arcanine through Viridian left me feeling just a little off. 

It had only been a short vacation, but so much had changed. And yet nothing at all. 

Viridian was exactly how I remember it.

I shook off the melancholy, and focused as Arcanine slowed to a light bouncy jog as we turned up a certain driveway. The long trail up to the house and the many many greenhouses connected to it, as always had me smiling as I pulled up and slipped off and then up to the door ...

PTV: Early Chapter 132

“Just! GET! THROUGH!” I grunted as I pushed. It was pointless though. I might be stronk, but Ninetales was a pile of floof and a very stubborn animal.

“Niiiiiiiine!” He yowled, all four of his paws pressing against the edges of the doggy door, and simply refusing utterly to even stick his head through!

“It’s just a DOOOR!” I grunted, but he yowled louder, and finally I realized this was pointless.

I flopped back into the snow and ice, and just stared…...
