The descent into the Depths had been a seamless endeavor for Eve, a fact for which she credited her guild tag. The labyrinthine tunnels she navigated were chiseled from the complex, unyielding rock, their walls marked with a complex web of runes that appeared to solidify and stabilize the surrounding environment. Shrouded in a garment teeming with cryptic runic inscriptions, her guide led the way, deftly utilizing his own rune set to assist in the labyrinth's navigation.

Kyo’s vision wavered in Loguetown. She suddenly saw a strange Ritual circle that linked four entities to the elf, Eve. The words for Child, Maiden, Mother, and Crone were at the four cardinal points. Kudzu sat in shrub form within the Crone circle and adjacent to it was another circle that said Child. Kyo’s eyes snapped wide as she realized that sitting in that circle was her!
The image vanished a moment later and Nok said, “Boss?” shaking her gently.
“Y-Yes?” Kyo aske...

Eve sat within her reclusive room in the Silver Bank viewing the world through the enormous mirror created by her magic.
As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, the North underwent a profound transformation. The rune farms took root, their magical essence seeping into the very fabric of the land. The once-barren fields sprouted with an abundance of crops, defying the harshness of winter and promising a bountiful harvest.
Under the guidance of the council of consul...

Tiers have changed. I attempted to resist inflation as long as possible, but my choice to work with AI Art has increased costs.
After consultation with my beloved and wise parents, 3$ has become my current baseline for new Patreons.
The 1$ Tier will remain in existence as long as people are subscribed to it, but as they cancel, it will slowly be limited and then phased out.
Now, on to more happy things.

The first light of dawn unfurled across the sky, splashing it with streaks of crimson and gold, illuminating the airborne silhouette of the Bacon Wing. This grand airship, under the command of Kyo, an unlikely, petite alchemic captain, soared into the nascent day. Despite her diminutive stature, an aura of authority enveloped her, as her unruly grey hair fluttered in the morning wind, testament to her indomitable spirit and half-awake ship handling prowess. The figures of Fang and Claw, once ...

Eve reclined leisurely, her laughter rippling through the air, “Just a playful jest, Your Majesty. But jest aside, the cost won’t be trifling, I assure you," she responded, her tone blending seriousness with amusement. "Even a solitary rune-etched plow is worth a small dwelling. Yet, its yield is priceless. Rune farming is the future's harvest. Abundant crops, impervious to brutal weather, sprouting faster than nature allows. It is an investment that will repay its value in no time."

“You don’t know about Devil Fruits?” Nok said, confused. “Then how did you make those without using a fruit power?” Claw and Fang stood innocently as the chef pointed at them.
Kyo devoured a seasoned chicken leg before saying, “That isn’t a Devil Fruit. It’s a superior skill known as Alchemy. Prepare the proper ingredients, channel the mana, and get sand golems. Easy.”
“Ok, I have no idea what half those words mean, but if it isn’t a Devil Fruit power, it sur...

Eve manipulated Witch’s Dust to create a silver mirror to the side. King Brandon looked at the polished metal in shock as it displayed a series of images. Color filled the mirror, making it appear like a window elsewhere had opened.
As the king peered into the silver mirror scrying tool, an icy gust of wind sliced through the air, carrying an ominous aura. Snow shifted as it fell upon the land below. A valley, tightly embraced by winter's grip, revealed its majesty th...

Under the pale moonlight, the derelict pirate airships bobbed in the sky, their enormous gas-filled envelopes casting ominous shadows on the sea below. They had been formidable vessels, each with a wooden hull reinforced with iron cladding, an intimidating presence in the vast expanse of the heavens. The ships were seafaring relics of bygone ages remodeled for the skies, with large skulls and crossbones painted on their sides, announcing clear intent to all who dared to cross the pirate's pat...

Eve stared bored at the great hall of the current self-styled King in the North. While it was a grand and imposing space, befitting the ruler of a vast and noble kingdom, that wasn’t saying much. Constructed with solid and sturdy materials, the hall exudes a sense of strength and resilience. As a person entered, most were immediately struck by the sheer size of the hall, with its high ceilings and expansive dimensions.
While the middle path was left bare, the sides of the great hall w...

“It’s time to go.” Kyo said looking at the two small knee-high sand golems, Claw and Fang. Both golems gave a military salute before getting onboard the Bacon Wing, Kyo’s alchemically crafted airship.
The entire thing was matte grey due to extensive transmutation.
Entering the ship, she took a good look at the interior. Inside the helm of the ship the vessel was a striking blend of ruggedness, a manifestation of the rudimentary materials used and her desire for practical a...

“We’ve located over ninety-five percent of the request.” First said his form looking suave as usual. Eve stared out the window of the Silver Bank at the expanding city of Braavos. It was inevitable that her financial empire had expanded on the back of the commoners. As quality of life improved, so did the strength of her financial might.

Kyo stared at the bird known as a News Coo. The bird stared back before pointing a wing towards the pouch of papers it was carrying. There was a long moment of silence before Kyo said, “How much?”
A tense negotiation followed where Kyo eventually traded three red healing potions, a silver coin, and a pair of recently crafted sunglasses. In return she got all the newspapers the bird had been carrying. I’m not sure if I was cheated. Kyo thought watching the News Coo fly awa...

In the manor, tucked away amidst its labyrinthine grandeur, rested a room brimming with homely charm and wistful stories: the manor kitchen. This is not merely a place for culinary concoctions but a testament to the flavors of history, nurturing life within its venerable stone walls. Kyo knew the kitchen was the domain of one person only: Talos the Butcher.
The kitchen was a small, orderly affair, a miracle space adorned with an abundance of age-old accouterments. At least, it always se...

Kyo stared at the book. She felt innate that the Summoning Codex stared back. Her tail and ears twitched as green fur rippled with curiosity. “Many fish?” Kyo finally directed at Nota.
