The voice sounded so warm and comforting, yet there was a hint of anger in it.
Opening his eyes, the darkness faded, and the same Valkyrie he had seen twice now stood there before him. Her gold hair pulsed with power, and the white Pegasus she rode stomped a hoof upon th...
2024-06-18 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“We really need to figure out how those brown cows are bringing so many allies,” Batrire said as she watched Fowl check all the corpses. “Is it like a magical summoning spell, or are there really that many of these things inside this tunnel system?”
Shrugging, Max stared off down the tunnel.
“I can...

Massive legs that were taller than him and thicker than Hallad provided power, and the skin was gray. Huge foot-long claws ra...
2024-06-17 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Get the left one!” Max shouted, motioning to the furthest minotaur from him.
A pack of three more were charging at them, their cloven hoofs pounding on the hard-pack dirt of the tower floor they were on.
The floor was a mix of farmland with massive corn stalks and other crops filling fields and a village fill...

Lord Hurem had sent a servant to tell his wife and Ava to wait a bit longer.

As they arrived, the number of roars and the sound of fighting left no doubt that the other group had found what everyone was searching for.
Through the trees, dozens of trolls could be seen closi...

Max nodded and waved off Tom’s concerned expression. “Let’s be honest. Sitting around doing nothing isn’t going to make my life better, and if I remember, someone told me to live and enjoy life.”
“Yes!” exclaimed Tom. ...

None of them said anything, ...

Without flinching, he held the package still on his shoulder, thankful that two guards had done as he asked. He had sent some to deliver messages to the Faction house and try to find the rest of his party.

Forty total warriors were riding to a section of the barrier a few days north of where they had just been for the mining camp.

Instead, its body was covered in tight skin, almost appearing as if it was starving. Every bone and ridge stood out as the glow of the flames that trickled down from where the branch had struck it. Four legs with s...
