It took several minutes before any of the birds seemed to respond; Serenity wasn’t certain if that was because of how far away they were or because they were thinking. Regardless of the reason, Serenity kept the ...

Serenity did return to the Tutorial in the morning, but nothing he tried told him where the problem was. In his free time, he scoured the Mages’ area and even sat in on some classes, but nothing seemed out of...

The following day, the group traveled with Mr. Williams to Aviemore, Scotland, with several stops on the way to explore dungeons. Serenity found it invigorating, but he still couldn’t shake the feeling that there w...

Helios cheered as he found his second target. It was hidden in an illusion on top of a tall building, but Helios’s power included Sight, as the Sun should. It should be a far less annoying fight than the monkeys, s...

After the fight, Serenity finally had his first chance to get a good look at the man they’d rescued. Leroy was at least a decade older than Tom. He was several inches shorter than Serenity, even in his human form, ...

It was easy to find the point where the trail split; while Tom had stayed on the road, Leroy had hared off into the forest, running into and through brush. There was a clear path leading away from the road, even if ...

The news was convincing enough that the Librarian agreed to consider releasing some information “depending on how the future goes”. It wasn’t what Serenity hoped for, but it wasn’t a complete loss, either. 2022-06-11 22:51:09 +0000 UTC View Post
