“I don’t want to pry, but as your teacher I have to ask, are you alright with what happened?” Raul asked as quietly as he could manage while still being audible over the crowd pressing around them.
“I’m fine.” She said, wincing as her words came ou...
It took a while for Tsubaki to recover after that, after which she begged me to demonstrate sharpening to her again, growing increasingly enamoured and confused by the sheer concentrated bullshit that was Skyrim smithing, her red eye sparkling all the while. It wasn’t like I could explain it either, sharpening was a surprisingly opaque part of my skill set that seems to just work while I have no idea why.
Regardless I stayed up with her trying to explain it for a couple hours, which ...
“Could you not?” I asked sarcastically as I peeled backwards a week after dropping in on the Athena group. Doing my best to stay out of range of the Minotaur’s aggressive charge, as I prepared my spell; a not-so-simple process as it turns out. Because magic, actual magic, was pretty damn complicated.

Under normal circumstances she’d be a bit wary at the lack of mercy. But as she stepped into the warehouse proper, Elric’s information rang sorrowfully true and for a heartbeat she wanted nothing more than to draw her own blade and just end thi...
Not sure how these kinds of posts normally go, so I'll just outline my plan here. I'll keep it simple, I intend to build up a backlog of chapters, post them here and then once we're a few chapters ahead, release the old ones through all my normal avenues. I don't intend for it to interrupt my normal postings, so I'll just be trying twice as hard xD
If you choose to support me or just want the chapters early, then just know that I'm really thankful. The ultimate goal here is to ease cer...
