Hera stopped and raised a fist in a signal to stop. The goggles made by Eirik helped Lysandra and Nethe to see the Empress' movements even while invisible. Everyone started hearing the sound of echoing steps approaching and made sure not to move a muscle. The spell cast by Zestra wouldn't affect any noise they made.

"Hera, can you hear me?" Lysandra's voice came through the communicators they were all wearing. This was a simple short-range walkie-talkie radio without any magical effects to it. The prison had several measures to detect and stop any signals going into the building. However, when inside, only the more refined signals would ...

"Do you have everything you need?" Lysandra was in front of Hera's door, having just passed a list of questions for her to ask her skill, or whatever it was. Her golden hair was down and her expression was much softer than when she first arrived.
"Yeah," Hera started reading through the questions, "I'm just going to tak...

"Do we have any pepperoni left?" Nethe asked, pushing himself off the ground with his wings while using his feet to open the pizza boxes.
Hornet reached out from his chair, but the box he was trying to get was a bit too far for the dwarf, prompting Hera to push it in his direction. He smiled and opened the box, taking o...

Hey everyone!
I forgot to say this in the last few chapters, but Freya was the character created by our very own LemonGhost! And I want to thank them for being patient and kind. When they got the Guide Tier The story wasn't in a place where I could just introduce a character out of the blue (It was...

It took them 3 days to arrive at their destination, and the closer they got, the more serious their conversations became. This wasn't because they were fighting or anything like it, but it was hard to continue being light-hearted when they were thinking about kidnapped people and what could've been happening to them. Becca ha...

After Freya joined them, the group crossed to the next room. The Volcanic Island had a very literal name. It was an island being created by an active volcano. The cooled-off magma was under their feet, but it still felt hot despite being solid. At least there was no liquid magma being tossed around. Everything came from an un...

Despite Hera's wishes, they didn't leave right away. Becca had to talk with a few people, and Zestra needed to get something from one of his contacts. This gave the Empress one more day to let her dad and her friends know she would be traveling with Becca. She made sure not to mention where she was going since she didn't want...

Hey everyone!
Just a small head's up. I made a tiny mistake on the last few chapters.

Livy slammed the war axe on the ground. Her target was a sheep, but the blow cut the monster like butter. Thankfully, they were inside a dungeon. Otherwise, the sight would be very gruesome. The ground now had a giant crater caused by the impact. Livy turned around, seeing the other Plains Sheep incoming. She opened her mouth...

Hera walked through the city with Livy on her back. Before she got stuck, she already did her best to hide her legacy, and now that there was so much tension between the guild and everyone else, this seemed even more important. This is why she didn't let them walk around in their bipedal shape. On the other hand, she could ha...

Before starting the entire process, Hera made sure to tell everyone that she would be busy for a couple of hours. Not that she actually believed it would take that long, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Currently, the Empress was already inside her Private room, the Workshop - Hera's Version, to be precise. Where she ...

After meeting Rutigan and the council, Hera walked to her home. She didn't bring her tablet on purpose. Her bracelet could still give her location away, but accessing that information involved a lot of bureaucracy that she didn't believe anyone would bother with. Especially since it just looked like she was going on a date wi...

Unlike the council room in the palace, where they would all be far from each other, this was a much smaller space, forcing them to be almost shoulder to shoulder. There were no dec...

After leaving the Golden Dragon Archipelago, their trip to Boothudurn went by in a flash. When the group arrived at the Farmer's Delight, some of the people there were surprised by the doorway being activated since they didn't have any records of people going inside.

It took almost 4 hours for all of them to be able to reach the pillar where the doorway was located. Adriel had to use a lot of mana to keep the drones from being pushed around by the wind, and because of it, he had to rest between each trip. The good part was that this allowed them to see the two moons in the sky. Even if on...

"Again, it doesn't have an ego. It's just a construct. A mount," Hera said as they walked down a corridor that appeared when they all got their rewards. This should be the dungeon's exit.

As Hera fell into the water, she could tell the current was strong, but she never expected it to be this powerful. There was no chance for her to move her arms or legs, almost as if she was held on by some invisible force as she kept sinking deeper and deeper. However, just 10 seconds after reaching the ocean, she was spat ou...

The first step in figuring out what was going on with the fish was searching for the marine life in the room. According to Luna, they only moved closer to the surface a couple of times every day.
