Aaaah, Elise sighed in satisfaction as she collapsed next to Leon and buried her face into his shoulder. She lay there for several long moments, naked and breathing hard, basking in the afterglow of great sex and in the relief that Leon had survived the battle he and Alix had described to her.
The silence was only b...

Alix looked back at Fort 127 for the last time. It looked completely different with sixty thousand Legion soldiers there than it had only a week beforelike a small city. Most of those who were garrisoned there had been killed, including Sam and just about everyone she was friendly with. She couldnt help but sigh as she tu...
2018-11-16 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThank you for your aid, Xaphan said to the Thunderbird. It was still perched atop the throne staring down at Leon, where it had been since bluish-silver lightning had erupted from its feathers and banished the golden lightning cage around its descendant.

Leon was not hallucinating when he heard the blast of a Legion horn. It was so loud as to be heard by every Valeman surrounding the last tower even over the storm.
The Valemen werent the only ones to hear the horn, and the soldiers in the tower paused for a moment in disbelief as they looked around at each other, tryi...
2018-11-12 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHakon and Hrorekr walked slowly, making sure that their steps were taken with care. This ensured that, despite their slower walking speed, they reached the top of the hill much faster than any of the other Valemen that had tried.
As they slowly, inexorably approached the door of the tower, more and more soldiers started...
2018-11-09 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon felt incredible. It was like he knew exactly where every speck of power within him was, and as if he could direct it with perfect control. It wasnt that he was stronger or more powerful, but that his magic flowed through him with such ease as to be startling.
Is this the fourth-tier? he wondered. 2018-11-07 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post
The rain started as a gentle drizzle, but in minutes, it hammered the tower in torrential sheets, while the wind howled in the ears of the soldiers, and the sky lit up with frequent flashes of lightning.
Leon kneeled at the top of the tower and closed his eyes to meditate, seeming to not care about the rain that soaked ...
2018-11-05 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLeon sprinted back west along the wall, over the hills and through the towers filled with dead soldiers, until he reached the closest tower to his own.
What happened? Wheres Sir Edmond? asked the squad leader in charge of the tower once Leon entered.
He stayed behind, to attack the Valemen, Leon hesit...
2018-11-02 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostHakon Fire-Beard triumphantly walked down the stairs and left the tower. He didnt want to move quickly as his magic was almost depleted, so he walked as dramatically as he could, strutting down the steps of the wall and standing over Jean as heroically as he could. The Valemen around him looked to their Great Chief with shi...
2018-11-01 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLeon rushed back up the stairs to the top of the tower, returning his sword to its sheath as he went. When he made it to the top, he was confronted by the squad leader and two of the other soldiers brandishing their spears at him until they realized who it was.
That thanes the squad leader began hesitantly.

ARCHERS, FIRE AT WILL! Jean shouted. Only the few towers closest to him could hear his voice, but all the knights repeated his order down the wall. In seconds, arrows began raining down upon the charging Valemen.
Guess they finally ...
2018-11-01 14:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostLeon returned to his and Alixs room in their assigned tower after Jean dismissed everyone.
Any news? Alix asked once he pushed the door open and strolled in.

2018-10-28 15:07:39 +0000 UTC View PostHakons camp was in chaos. He had sent his thanes out to restore order among the war party when the attacks began, but there were still third-tier warriors coming and going constantly as the fires were put out and the dead were counted.
But, finally, after two hours of getting what passed for coordination among the Val...
2018-10-26 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, Alix, and three hundred other Legion soldiers went over the wall and charged into the forest. They were being led by Jean and the other three fourth-tier mages. Not counting Leon, there were eight third-tier mages leading the force as well.
In contrast to these mages, however, Leon wasnt assigned any leadership ...
2018-10-24 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostA werewolf?! Jean asked Leon in shock.
Yes, Leon confirmed, and it seems like hes quite taken with the curse; his body is twisted and bestial.
Shit, Jean muttered. Well, thats something to think about
He didnt say anything more, even though he was panicking on the inside. Jean had...
2018-10-22 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe motivation Alix worked up after speaking with Leon didnt last long. The two were assigned to a tower that lacked a third-tier mage, and the resulting guard duty that lasted for hours without doing anything else instilled a boredom that killed just about all excitement and motivation.
When they had arrived, the squ...

2018-10-12 15:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostLeon, Alix, and the two other men made their way back south, hoping to reach the second watchtower before the Valemen did. It wasnt too far, relatively speaking, only about four miles, but those were four miles of rough, hilly, and forested terrain.

2018-10-04 23:43:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt was cold in the pass. Leon was a third-tier mage, so he wasnt particularly uncomfortable, but he still didnt like the chill coming off the mountains. He resolved to bring his coat made from the snow lion he killed to awaken his bloodline on any return adventures north of the fort. He at least had his armor and accompan...
