Sigma 16 T2 - Chapter 77 - Communication

Talia exited the research module, her head still pulsing from the implant damage. As much as Neo assured her she was fine, having things go on in her brain was scary.

And it wasn’t like there was an approved neuro-doc to see about it anywhere within a few dozen light-years.

She made her way across the base, straight toward the containment cell.

As she approached, she could see the Blue prisoner still sitting in a meditative pose, seemingly oblivious to her presence.

Demoness 3 - Chapter 15: ​Estate (Epilogue) (3,175 Words)

Destroying things was simple. It was rebuilding that was hard.

Even with Divine magic.

Elania watched as Yolani organized a group of workers to clear away the charred ground.

Nothing really remained of the city, except for the underground stores of the islands that hadn’t been destroyed.

They were lucky in that there were relatively few of those.

Even luckier that there hadn’t been any real populations on them.

The few airships they had left included th...

The black-feather swung his arm, releasing a black lash of energy.

Elania slipped around it, the crackling tendril missing her by mere inches. She raised her Regalia, taking aim at him, and squeezed the trigger.

The shot went wide; the bullet whizzed past his head.

He darted inward, swinging his black energy like a whip. She brought her wing up to block the attack.

Black electricity cackled down her feathers, sending a shock through her body. Elania gritted her teeth ...

ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) Team!

Hey guys!

I'm putting together an ARC team, to help with the upcoming release of Demoness on Amazon! I'll be self-publishing it, so I need to do a bit more on my end and this is one solution I've found for it.

Basically, I will be sending out the ebook for free to ARC readers a month before release (June 1st!). Then hopefully they can leave reviews on Amazon and Goodreads on the day of release since they had a chance to read it already.

I know some here might be like 'But, E...

Demoness 3 - Chapter 12: ​At the Dawn (9,399 Words)

The chill wind bit Elania’s exposed skin as she soared high above the clouds. Not for the first time, she reached up and adjusted the breathing mask Yolani had given her, ensuring a tight seal.

It had been decided that using [Power] to form an air pocket—for breathing and high-speed travel—was too risky.

Her mission was to collect intelligence and enemy numbers, not pick a fight. Especially with the potential for a far stronger Demi-Divine in the enemy fleet.

And that ...

Demoness 3 - Chapter 8: ​Diplomacy B (8,554 Words)

Elania sat down at the table across from Isara as breakfast was served to them. She examined the meal of bread, some kind of milk, fruit, and cheese with interest. It looked good. “Thank you for the meal, Isara.”

Isara smiled. “I picked out a normal breakfast that any citizen of Hel might enjoy, thinking you would like the insight into our culture.”

Elania returned the smile and tasted the milk. It had a creamy flavor that coated her tongue. She took a minute to square her...

Demoness 3 - Chapter 7: ​Diplomacy A (7,714 Words)

Elania paced the bedroom, her mind churning with the weight of Arlois’ request.

Shadow prowled around her feet, his whines echoing her own unease. She wasn’t sure how, but somehow he knew she was going on a trip.

Yolani sat on the bed, her brows knitted together. “Going to Hels is a bad idea, Elania.”

“I don’t like it either,” Elania admitted, her gaze drifting to the weight reduction pack on the dresser. “But it’s important to the city. If we’re going t...

Demoness 3 - Chapter 6: ​Courses (8,183 Words)

Elania stood at the start of the airship bay jetty, simmering in anger as she watched the Lightbringer ship dock. The vessel had regained power just as they arrived at the city, so it had detached and moved to dock on its own.

It slid into place with practiced ease.

The Heart settled into its berth a few minutes later, and crew poured out to unload the shipment for transport on another vessel.

The Gold was out on its own, and the Heart needed a day of maintenance. The delay ...

Demoness 3 - Chapter 5: ​Reinforcement (10,059 Words)

Yolani wiped the sweat from her forehead, the heat of the artifice forge turning her workshop into a sweltering sauna. She had cracked the windows open and set up a one-way air-flow barrier, but the oppressive heat still permeated every corner of the room.

The guest room now resembled a miniature version of the artifice workshops at the city works, complete with all the necessary tools and equipment.

She took a deep breath, the scent of molten metal filling her nostrils as she exa...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 94 - Endings, and Beginnings

Elania’s feet touched the ground, her heart still racing from the intense confrontation. The purple Demi-Divine landed across from her, the tension between the two groups palpable.

The guards from both sides stood apart, their weapons still at the ready, but the immediate threat of violence had dissipated.

The Divine’s voice cut through the murmurs of the crowd, her tone laced with authority and a hint of disdain. “I am Arlois the Purple Wing, one of the four towers and the ...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 93 - Invaders

Elania strode back into the Celestial Engine room, Yolani at her side, only to be greeted by a scene of escalating chaos.

Unknown soldiers clad in resplendent silver armor, their heads adorned with flat round hats, poured into the chamber through a pair of massive gates. They brandished large shields and short spears, their movements precise and coordinated.

High above, on the balconies overlooking the room, men with crossbows took up positions, their weapons aimed menacingly at t...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 92 - Parties

Elania’s reflexes kicked in as a teenaged darkwalker leaped at her, its claws outstretched and fangs bared.

She caught the feline mid-air, its fur bristling against her skin as it thrashed in her grip. The darkwalker snarled and snapped, trying to sink its teeth into her flesh. The effort was futile.

A flicker of recognition sparked. It was the cub. The memory of slaying its parents flashed through her thoughts. She’d fed him a chunk of ralfot out of guilt.

Elania’s gr...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 91 - Traversal

Elania stood at the top of the stairs of the Magistry tower, surveying the plaza below. Behind her, the massive doors had been pulled open as wide as possible. Everyone had been evacuated out into the open.

They stared at her with a visceral mix of fear and hope.

Yolani stood beside her, a comforting hand squeezing her shoulder.

Eziel floated nearby, his sword glinting in the flickering city lights.

[It is time.]

“It’s time,” Elania agreed. “How do I make...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 90 - Hopes and Fears

“What are we going to do?” Yolani asked.

Elania turned, her brow furrowed with concern as she processed the question. The enemy was defeated, the maddened seraph put down, but there was no denying the city was dying.

It was shaking apart underneath their feet, and the calamities falling on it had only sped up with the divine clash.

“I… I don’t know,” Elania admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. She ran a hand through her hair, the golden strands tangling be...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 89 - Showdown, Revelations

Elania gripped Eziel tightly, feeling the divine power surging through her as she channeled into the blade. The runes on the sword lit up with a brilliant light, pulsing in time with the beating of her heart. She could feel his presence within the weapon, waiting to strike.

The energy built up, and Tabbris seemed to realize something was happening because he lunged toward them.

Elania released the swing in a wide arc. A massive wave of energy exploded out from the attack in a gold...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 88 - Sometimes you need help

Elania hovered in the air, her wings beating steadily as she watched the titanic battle unfold before her.

Eziel clashed against his maddened brother Tabbris in a dizzying display of divine power. The city of Neftasu trembled, thousands of once-proud stone buildings reduced to rubble by the shockwaves of their passage.

Eziel flew like a missile, sliding against the irate Seraph’s skin. Golden light evaporated from the wounds, but they were far from deep.

Papercuts. That’...

Demoness 2 - Chapter 87 - Priestess

Yolani and her guard pushed through the chaos of the district.

The once steady light from the stones above flickered and faded erratically. The sound of monk siege orbs slamming into Elania’s divine dome echoed through the air, each impact sending a shudder through Yolani’s body.

She glanced over at Henri, who lugged her large bag filled with artifice supplies.

“Don’t drop anything,” Yolani called out to him, her voice firm. “I’m going to need all of it.”

Demoness 2 - Chapter 86 - Redoubt

Yolani burst into the workshop, her mind racing as she scanned the room.

Artificers hunched over their projects, tools clinking against metal and the hum of [Power] infusion filling the air.

Somehow, despite the building partially falling apart, it seemed like they had tuned it all out in the process of creating new ammunition for the defenders.

Yolani darted between workbenches, snatching up tools, crystals, and components, stuffing them haphazardly into her pack.
