Drake sat up, a beam of light from the crack in his tent’s entrance alerting him to sunrise.
It had been the first time in weeks he had decided to sleep through the night, and it was well worth it. He finally felt refreshed, and considerably so.
Drake raised his arms, looking curiously at his replaced right arm ...

“I don’t think so… Mr. Shot did hit him pretty hard though?” Harley added.
“My Lord may have gone well past what was necessary this time..” Theodore sighed, looking down pitifully at the boy...
2023-03-17 02:42:00 +0000 UTC View PostDrake stood grounded as he looked at the teen begin channeling some sort of skill.
He gave a nod to Theodore and Bjorn as they took Miss Braun away and removed themselves for the surroundings.

2023-03-14 22:39:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe foundation that Drake had formed with his magic slowly crumbled under the pressure of his spell as he fell through the splitting cracks at the center, his Heretical Endowment fading leaving only his Water Endowment to recover his status.
Plummeting to the ground Drake made out that no one had moved from their positi...

2023-03-13 02:49:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe grunts of the two men echoed through the tunnel as each one struck the wall of treasure, excavating the valuable gems, stones, and material with each strike.
“Just about finished I think Hudson. Can’t believe we got through it all,” Drake chimed in, through his strikes.
“Truth be told, didn’t think w...
2023-03-12 05:12:55 +0000 UTC View PostDrake stood at odds with the group, his arms crossed as he stared back at several of them not wanting to give any ground.
“I’ll think about it,” he finally said.
Everyone gave out a brief sigh of relief but Theodore followed up.

They were both...
2023-03-09 23:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun was reaching its apex as the day drolled on. A man sat at the top of a wooden guard tower, his legends dangling as he looked out into the forest beyond.
His shoulder length black hair gently flowing in the breeze of the midday wind, his black and gold trimmed robes fluttering ever so slightly.
In his hands...

She hid behind a tree, her breath coming in ragged heaps as she pushed her sweat painted glasses up by the brim. Surrounded by monsters that could easily find and kill her should she make a wrong move or make too much sound.

The Goblin Knight raised one arm the weapon shin...

And the culprit was none other than Drake.

He couldn’t constantly be at the wall fighting, and make sure everything was going smoothly in here. He needed people to delegate to. Or possibly Hudson’s robots may be able to help.

He understood that it would never go away. Scars like that don...
