Chapter 6: First Day in the Dungeon
“…and that’s the bathhouse! Well, one of them. Sometimes you get really dirty after a day in the Dungeon, and it nice to wash up before going home,” Bell said, pointing to a building that looked like an odd fusion of Roman and Japanese bathhouses.
“I see,...

Freya idly swirled a glass of wine around in her glass as she stared out over the city. She should have been elated that little Bell had succeeded in slaying a Silverback, one of the more dangerous Level 1 monsters of the Dungeon. And she was happy, there was no doubt about it! But th...

Our time in France, though amazing, sadly came to an end. The flight back to London wasn’t terrible, though Delilah had been shocked and horrified to see how limited business class seating was. We all had fun teasing her about it all the way up until we landed at Heathrow.

Taylor leaned against the wall of the tavern’s second floor, where Bell had taken her and Hestia. There, he had spoken with a colorful collection of waitresses in skimpy green and white outfits and begged them for a place for Hestia to recover. Bell was apparently quite the lady...

“I’m full,” I groaned, leaning back in my chair. I probably shouldn’t have had all that cheese, or that third serving of desert. But it was too good!

Wakefulness came to Hestia slowly. Eventually, Hestia felt somebody nudging her, and with a yawn she sat up, giving a sleepy glare towards her newest child.
Taylor Hebert looked back blankly, clearly unrepentant that she’d woken up the goddess, though Hestia could swear ...

I stared at the Flamel’s nervously, while at my side Harry fidgeted in his seat. Sam and Delilah shot me concerned looks but I was unable to pay them much attention at the moment.
