Athela sat on the bed, a downcast expression on her face while she fiddled with the crown Riven had given her as a gift months ago.
Fay remained standing, nervously shifting her weight from foot to foot while occasionally giving him sideways glances.
Meanwhile, Azmoth took it upo...

Captain Vros Kinal, champion of this expedition to Panu, harbinger of The Empire of Dying Suns, was quite amused. “How long has it been now? A few days?”
The other officers in plate armor cackled or snickered while drinking the rum of conquered locals as they sat atop a...

The seeds of gluttony inside the flesh abomination called to him, but they might as well have been whispers on the wind - the last thing on Riven’s mind.
Because standing there next to the large eviscerated corpse… was Athela. Staring back at him with a vulnerable, almost she...

Despite the Rippenvire fleet having been wiped out, at least for the most part, many hundreds of dropships had landed troops across different layers of the stacked city and were continuing to wreak havoc. The royal fleet belonging to Dawn was also decimated, and their forces were alrea...

Despite the abrupt surge in power, despite revealing his ultimate form to combat this demonic arachnid, Tikus felt both inferior and small when the creature began to reform. His gray wings sagged, his flex claws that’d so recently torn the spider’s body in half stiffened, and his e...

Lahn watched in silence beside his mother Shovi and other refugees hiding here in a pub’s lower cellar. Funnily enough, he even noted how a small group of other students from the academy were here - no doubt having fled down the stairway long before he did to make it down here withou...

Gurth’Rok jogged at a fast pace, his green skin sweating from the exertion he’d put out in getting here with the rest of the legion behind him - but he was far from too tired to fight. The sounds of war drums beat into the night sky where clashing fleets continued to battle it out ...

Carnage erupted behind them, and they’d had to abandon their carriage in favor of walking due to the crowds. They’d even lost all of their hired servants who’d either been pushed aside, behind, or had simply gone off on their own to try and force their way to the enormous spiral ...

Lahn gasped, lurched, and screamed as Fay’s mana tendrils literally ripped the worm out of his skin. The sightless brown creature was long, the width of Fay’s arm, wicked looking with numerous thorns, and had a gaping sucker that pulsed and slurped at the air using its tongue. &nbs...

Jestus was a tall, greater vampire, and like so many others of the Rippenvire faction he preferred a tophat and suit jacket with coat tails as his primary attire. Gold trimmings laced a vest underneath with a pocket watch, a pocket protector, and two ornate pirate-styled pistols holste...

The huge African guy that’d first dove into the fray was covered in shallow cuts and large bruises, but he stood tall and limped over to where Riven was panting.
