Following the short ceremony with August, Trajan, and the Bronze Paladin, Leon checked in with Lapis and then returned home. He found his Heavens Eye beastmaster training with Anzu, getting the young griffin used to wearing a saddle. As soon as Anzu saw Leon, though, the griffin instantly abandoned his training and bounded ...
2019-10-23 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostAll right, then lets begin, Trajan said, and August knelt in the center of the stone floor.
Leon watched in fascination, but so far, he was a little disappointed. It didnt seem like the same kind of runic glyph that Artorias had used for Leons awakening was going to be used for Augusts. Leons hopes for som...
2019-10-21 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostYou what? Leon asked in disbelief and some muted anger as Trajan paused at the door.
Trajan stared at the heavy dark red oak door, enchanted to prevent both any unauthorized entry and to help keep their voices from leaking out into the room on the other side, where several dozen secretaries and assistants t...
2019-10-18 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, Elise, and Naiads lives returned to something that resembled normal in the weeks following the attack on the villa. Naiad didnt coerce them into sleeping with her again, but she refused to leave, so when Leon and Elises villa was finished being rebuilt, she ended up moving in with them.
Given how their villa...
2019-10-16 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter finally sleeping with Naiad and Elise, Leon spent quite a bit of time working on his defensive enchantments, but after a couple of hours, he had to call it quits. He packed up his things, left Elises wing of the estate, and went straight to one of the estates private meditation chambers.
These rooms were small...
2019-10-14 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostMonths after making his contract with Naiad, Leon began to fulfill it. Naiad had finally convinced him to have sex with her, and it only took having Elise there as well.
Of course, this meant that Leon started first with Elise, which Naiad could understand as she was his first mate. Still, she couldnt help but feel a ...
2019-10-11 14:56:50 +0000 UTC View PostNaiad was determined not to let Leon go, and her time was running out. She could feel her magic power slowing, which was why she had decided to call in Leons side of the deal rather than wait.
Normally, her magic power flowed through her body like a river, speeding up as she grew more and more powerful. However, she h...
2019-10-09 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAre you sure youre ready for this? Trajan asked as he looked Leon in the eyes.
I am, Leon said without hesitation. The two were in Trajans office the day after Leons villa was attacked discussing what could be done to keep Leon safe. Their conclusion was that there wasnt much of substance they could do, ...
2019-10-07 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThere wasnt much Emilie could do to hide Naiads colossal aura, but she did have a charging amulet, a simple gold chain with a clasp that could hold a gem of moderate size. The amulet would then use the mages power to charge the gem with magic, reducing the amount of magic power that leaks out of their body and into thei...
2019-10-04 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith a few graceful steps, Naiad stepped onto the dock, completely undisturbed at her lack of attire. Her aura was calm, but completely dwarfed everyone elses, and even the vampires attacking Leon and the others came to a halt, stunned as they were at Naiads arrival.
As she approached Elise, Alix, Valeria, and Asiya...

2019-09-30 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostTwo months had passed since Leon returned to the capital and a couple weeks since his ascension to the sixth-tier. Events in the capital continued to unfold in the same vein that they had been, and Leon was more than happy to remain apart from them. In fact, the more he stayed with Elise filling his days with little else but ...
2019-09-27 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostRoland sighed as he wiped the blood from his sword, his eyes not straying from the young woman at his feet that hed just killed. Her skin was deathly pale, her canines sharpened to fangs, and while she had been alive, her aura had been polluted by demonic power.
She had been a vampire.
He, a number of his own kn...
2019-09-25 15:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostDid I inherit anything from my mother, like I inherited your lightning from my father? Leon asked, any joy on his face from testing himself against the Thunderbird quickly fading away.
The Thunderbirds reply was immediate. I dont believe so. I would doubt that your mother could even pass down any kind of power...

2019-09-20 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostOur clan began with my birth, eons ago in the Primal Age the Thunderbird began with a tone of absolute pride and confidence, the impression that she was trying to give Leon only slightly mitigated by the fact that she was physically dead. Still, she got a bit theatrical, waving her tanned arms in the air and letting her...
2019-09-18 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAfter being given a few minutes to process, Leon felt like he understood what the Thunderbird was saying, and it meshed well with Xaphans much less detailed explanation from years earlier.
There were millions upon millions of planes within the universe, many smaller than the plane of Aeterna, some larger. And yet, all...
2019-09-16 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post[Now, then, I assume you have questions?]
Once those words were spoken, Leon had to fight to not start salivating. This was it, the moment hed been waiting for, the moment when he would finally get all the answers he wanted. And yet, for all that time he had spent waiting, Leon had no idea where to st...
2019-09-13 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post[Prepare yourself, demon,] Leon said to Xaphan, [for Im on my way ]
[Oh no ] Xaphan responded sarcastically, [whatever will I do ? A young human is coming, oh woe is me!]
[Waiting there for my arrival is what youll do!] Leon responded, his mouth curving into an excited smile. He could almost hear Xaphan shr...
2019-09-11 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the opening day of the triumphal games, the capital descended into solemn silence, with many people confused and scared of what might be on the horizon after August and Octavius public disagreement. However, by the end of the games, most people had returned to their usual behavior, though the possibilities of what mig...
2019-09-09 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJustin sat in his box staring down into the sands of the arena long after just about everyone else in the arena had left. He could think about nothing but Leons lightning, and how similar it had felt to him, how startlingly powerful it had seemed compared to other fifth-tier lightning mages that Justin had encountered. On t...
2019-09-06 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThroughout Leon and Antonius Agrippas entire fight, Elise gripped the armrests of her seat so hard that they almost deformed. She couldnt turn away from the sight, though she wanted to. She could do nothing but watch in horror as her lover and a gladiator fought each other with the intent to kill down in the sands of the ...

2019-09-02 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire arena descended into an eerie silence. Octavius thumb pointed down, signaling to Antonius Agrippa to kill his defeated opponent in defiance of almost a thousand years of tradition of no gladiators being intentionally killed on the sands of the arena. So shocked was the crowd that no one made so much a noise as th...
2019-08-30 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIt is time for the games to begin! the announcer cried, to the ecstatic cheering of the crowd. They were so loud that they just about shook the arena, and Leon in the sealed Royal box thought that the sound could be heard in every corner of the capital.
As the chariots for the opening races began ta...
2019-08-28 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe games had yet to begin, and Leon stood around, not really knowing what to do with himself. He wasnt particularly comfortable being in the Royal box, but it got him away from Valeria and thats all that he had wanted when he accepted the invitation. However, now that he was here, and the attention of the five men who ar...
2019-08-26 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostWow, I never thought Id be watching the games in a place like this, Alix said in wonder as she and Elise walked down the extraordinarily well-appointed hallway toward their private box.
This place caters to a specific crowd, so they have to decorate accordingly, Elise said, to which Alix nodded in understandin...
2019-08-23 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostFor most of an entire day, Leon desperately tried to think of an excuse that he could use to get out of going to the games with Valeria. When remembering how much fun he used to have when sparring with her, a part of him couldnt help but want to go with her, but his reason swiftly overpowered that desire, though he had yet ...
