“Stay in control, whelp.” Redael’s words were punctuated with a blinding smash of his head into the side of mine. My knees wanted to buckle, but I didn’t allow them, instead rolling with the hit and allowing myself to fall only long enough to gain some measure of distance from my tormentor. He allowed me that little d...
2024-03-31 15:56:10 +0000 UTC View PostSybil and Vefir began walking away but I reached out to her. “I know what you did. I recognize it was helpful.” I stood tall and loomed over her. “It was risky to work your magic so blatantly on me.”
Sybil didn’t avoid eye contact or my deliberately intimidating stance while Vefir continued on his path out. On...
2024-03-31 15:55:12 +0000 UTC View PostWe have no idea how that swarm got to be so large and so powerful. They wouldn’t have posed any threat, if it had only been composed of the usual keelish, but not only were the individuals from the swarm larger and more intelligent as a baseline, there were at least dozens of magically inclined individuals withi...
2024-03-31 15:54:23 +0000 UTC View PostI could feel the influence of [Absolute Dominance] even before I saw any [System] notification about it. Maybe it was all in my head, but as I stood and held back the trembles in anticipation of Redael’s arrival, I could feel myself wanting to begin to grovel. With a firm force of will, I stood tall again and prepared mysel...
2024-03-31 15:53:52 +0000 UTC View PostHaving cleaned myself and noted my sonilphon evolution counter ticking up to 18/50, I stretched out. I wanted to indulge in my laziness and rest, but I had not earned that so instead I walked out of my quarters and watched my busy pack at work. Most had left to hunt, and the majority of Sybil’s supporters were out gathering...
2024-03-31 15:52:52 +0000 UTC View PostWith twice as many of us dragging each body on the way back, the journey went much quicker than before, and with Foire scouting and keeping an eye out for any potential threats, we made our way to the den without incident. The falling rain and muddied ground caused us to stumble and slip every so often, what with dragging the...
2024-03-31 15:51:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe Union knows something. They keep close contact with the entire continent, much more than any other nation, and something is happening on the other side of the continent. We cannot yet be sure of what it is, but I have received a vision, and I know that something has arisen, something that bears a threat ...
2024-03-31 15:51:01 +0000 UTC View PostYes, this is OLD. It is a story I still fully intend to revisit at some point, but I'm doing AR, revisiting Divine Path, and have another story in my back pocket (burning a hole there, tbh) that will take precedence. Wonder if anyone cares! And yes, Ashtali predates Ashlani.

Here is the full version of the story that was published and later taken down. This is accessible to the True Keel and above patrons.
Note: I am aware of some weird formatting within the document. The reason for this is that, initially, instead of in a Doc, I wrote within the application for WebNovel. Thus, there...
