Chapter 381: Relieving Some Frustration
My steps echoed in the stairwell as I descended to the common room. There were maybe a dozen patrons in the inn, but most seemed amused by the entertainment this late. The proprietor and the tribal man's arguments grew louder and louder. Half-dressed, Anika rushed down the stairs ...

All we needed now was an actual fleet to use the secret base. As the marines spawned one each day, they could defend the secret base without drawing suspicion. We needed to complete our agreement with Eternal Legacy before assembling our steam-powered skyship. I also needed to get the heavy w...

I was awake well before morning. I was concerned for both Evie and Lexi: Lexi for being taken advantage of, and Evie for possibly being killed for what she might become. Both girls had endured a lot of hardship and violence since coming to Desia, yet they still retained their innocence. I left the terrible ...

Things do not return to normalcy after the Sadian attack. The farm became fairly quiet without Cilia and Lena. In fact, Wynna moved to Hen’s Hollow to stay with her daughter Ennet. Callem left every morning to go to Hen’s Hollow to supervise the rebuilding of the old barracks that were us...

Castile managed to bring Lexi to me without Karina or Anika in tow. Karina had drunk some ale and was passed out, while Anika was talking with Selene, expanding her vocabulary. If they wanted to know their attributes, we could do so in the future. For now, Castile was focused on confirming Lex...

The metallic smell of death hung in the air. I told Lesna to gather the guild medallions from the bodies while I collected their essence. Their horses had scattered, so Benito and Sylph had gone to collect them. Lexi was healing Helena under Castile's watchful gaze.

The obfuscation stone got warm intermittently as we moved through the woodlands. It occurred to me the stone may also be a beacon. If a mage could not look in a specific area, they knew it was an area of interest. The stone should have acted as a blind spot for any clairvoyance s...

I allowed Lexi to heal Anika, as she was slightly bow-legged from the long ride. Then, I followed Anika to an area mostly free of rocks. I couldn’t tell if this challenge was an attempt to prove that she was useful, or if she just wanted to see how good I was. Her face was emotionless, but hel...

The camp at the top of the hill was far too loud for my liking as I hurried toward the thundering hooves. At least no beacon of light shone behind me. I had been somewhat concerned that Lexi might have panicked and used her finger light when she was awoken. The centaurs' path was diagona...

My companions formed a line atop their mounts a safe distance away. Blaze looked at me, and I gave him the hand sign that everything was okay. I could see the women from Earth were still very tense and were now outnumbered. Karina turned to me, “You travel with a lot of women. And why do yo...

We reached the expanse between the two rivers by mid-morning. The gap between the rivers spanned over twelve miles, and the ground was churned and barren from the constant passing of herds. It was the observant Blaze who discovered the footprints. I knelt on the ground, and a combination of ea...

As we rode, I realized the attack had been the fault of my leadership, mostly because of where we had decided to camp. This river was the only water source in the plains, so naturally, the herds would stay close to it. That meant the predators would not be far away either. I should have anticipat...
