Chapter 134 - Hammering Iron

Her sabotage efforts had kept Troytin busy, and from Lecne’s reports, the Deeps were busy too. Troytin’s loss of influence was only compounded by Ibrahim’s war in the south. While they played at petty tyrant of their domains, she&nb...

Chapter 133 - The Dervish

“A dervish can never remain one thing. To be a dervish is to embody change,” Rostal said as an introduction to his first lesson.

They were back to standing in his courtyard, rapiers drawn.

“I will skip the lessons on the Silver S...

Chapter 132 - Clutching Fire

Rostal had instructed Mirian to learn from the elementary school, but since it was evening of Fifthday and they would be closed until Firstday, she decided to hire a tutor for the weekend to get a head start.

The markets were all closing by ...

Chapter 131 - The Isheer

The Lowfort District of Palendurio turned out to be made up of a great deal of Persaman immigrants. A decade ago, they might have been welcoming and open. As the war with Persama had deepened, Baracueli citizens had trusted the people from that re...

Chapter 130 - Bloodleaf

The next cycle, Mirian killed Specter again as soon as she had her initial supplies. It was simple: she waited until night, used a sound damping spell while she pried open the hatch magnetically, then levitated down the passage and cut her throat ...

Chapter 129 - Breaking Through

Mirian dismissed the force shackles holding the engineers to the wall as she cast her magnetic shield. She’d need every bit of mana she could get.

The Akanans started with a volley of force blades, reluctant to b...

9/22 Weekly Roundup Post

Hi all,

I've been sending out push notifications each time a chapter is published, but I found out that chapter's that I'm "unlocking" that were already considered "published" keep their old publication date on the Patreon Feed, so for some ...

Chapter 128 - Delicate Engineering

A small artifact at Mirian’s belt let out a chime and began to glow. That’s the divination ward tripped. The forward elements are here, she knew. Probably the two recon companies of the 24th Brigade. Four more companies of four o...

Chapter 127 - Troytin

The interrogation room in the Magistrate’s office brought back memories for Mirian. The first thing she noticed was that Sulvorath had been using illusions to make himself appear a bit taller and more muscular when he was in public. Without his ...

Chapter 126 - Staying in the Shadows

After that, Mirian committed to laying low. She attended classes like any dutiful student, pretending to take notes while she worked on ideas for improvements to her leyline analysis artifacts, spell engine design, and ways she might create unifie...

Chapter 125 - The Delegation

A long ramp extended from the airship deck down to the plaza, and the Vadriach delegation made its way down. Based on their dress and the spellbooks dangling from a chain at their side, there were six researchers, though from the colors on their j...

Chapter 124 - A Chance At Redemption

With Mirian’s knee off her back, Specter wriggled away from her until she ran into the nearby wall. She’d recovered from the paralysis relatively quickly. “Who the—what the fucking—!” she gasped. “I am an Arcane Praetorian! Release m...

Chapter 123 - Hunting the Phantom

In the morning, Mirian did something she hadn’t done in a long, long time: she put on a Torrviol Academy uniform and headed for class.

It brought back a surge of nostalgia. 

Which was funny, upon reflection. While she’d been a...

Chapter 122 - Preparing For The Return

Mirian returned to sabotaging Sulvorath, and returned to Palendurio in her disguise as Micael. She kept off the grid until it was late enough in the cycle that the other travelers would have trouble moving against her, then revealed Eclipse to the...

Chapter 121 - Good Company

Mirian woke.

A hundred cycles were behind her. Over seven years since this started, she thought, as the water from the ceiling dripped down on her. I wonder if I could use relicarium to plug that damned hole.

The answ...

Chapter 120 - The Ninth Binding

The antimagic surge had broken two of the glyphs inside the levitation wand, so they took the narrow stairs that spiraled around the inside of the basilica dome, with Mirian helping guide the frail pontiff. He was still more dejected than scared a...

Chapter 119 - Declaration

The world ended, and Mirian woke in her bed, feeling the water drip down her face, and sighed.

Loop one hundred, she thought.

Mirian planned to create a stir in Palendurio, so she tried a new variable: killing a half-dozen of ...

Chapter 118 - Of Bronze and Bindings

The priests’ moment of elation quickly turned to confusion. “Wait, it’s just you? How did you get through the rock?” one of them asked.

Internally, Mirian groaned. I get to have this conversation again. “I’...

Chapter 117 - The Cycles Continue

This time, Mirian changed two more variables. She recruited Valen as a spy again, torched the registrar’s building as usual, and stripped the second spy of his soul-mark so that he’d trigger the destruction of the spy’s headquarters.

B...

Chapter 116 - Secrets of the Sanctum

The archbishops' and pontiff’s quarters were in a special section of Charlem Palace. There was some debate on whether or not the passages of the Grand Sanctum still linked up with the lower levels of it. Mirian thought it probably did, since the...

Chapter 115 - Deeper Into The Dirt

Mirian altered her ‘Micael’ disguise in several points, strapped several wands and spells beneath her robe, then walked into the Grand Sanctum. The Luminate Guard ignored her, assuming that the wards in the back would catch her if she was an i...

Chapter 114 - The Path Forward

The crowd stood outside the smoldering wreckage of the Magrio Broadsheet’s building, now made up of embassy staff, random people, and at least four guards.

Mirian considered her options. By now, it was a bit late to hide her presence in Pa...

Chapter 113 - The Pure Blade

“What’s going on?” Betella said, still terrified. “Who are you? Who are all these people?”

“Betella, this is the staff of the Akanan Embassy you were sent to murder. Embassy staff, Betella. Now that we’re past the pleasantries�...

Chapter 112 - Unraveling the Conspiracy

Celine was still jumpy when they arrived at the Bard and Lion Inn, but the bright glyph lamps and soothing warmth and aromas from the kitchen seemed to calm her down.

Mirian waited until she had a hot cup of tea to wrap her hands around, the...

Chapter 111 - The Vault and the Assassins

A ghostly beam of force and fire erupted from Mirian’s outstretched hand, slamming into the stone door before her. Everad gaped at Mirian as her spell sent blossoming cracks through the door. When the runes above it glowed and she felt soft resi...

Chapter 110 - The Broken City

The leyline eruption began at the horizon, traveling along the distant Casnevar Mountains to the east, moving from north to south. At first, it was silent, because only the light had arrived. Mirian had to use a eyeshield spell just ...

Chapter 109 - The Palendurio Crisis

Mirian made it down to the canals with only a few people pointing and shouting about her, then dropped her night camouflage as she flew inside, taking several twists and turns through the reinforced caves, passing a boat full of very surp...

Chapter 108 - The Rot Spilling From the Walls

With a steady supply of myrvites from her new Syndicate contact established, Mirian spent her next day trying to replicate the runes she’d seen in the sanctum. When she’d learned about ‘glyph probing’ from Professor Eld, she’d thought it...
