A Null’ed
Free time. An odd concept, for the more you say it while you have it, the less you have of it. Even thinking about it technically is a waste of it, as a natural resource. Which is why I make sure to spend my “Free Time” productively, and by productively, I mean all things reading.

Keys And Locks (Part I)
After the abduction of Prince Jaupry, there were several issues that needed to be dealt with. First and foremost was that I nearly had a wardrobe malfunction.
Yes, all my clothes got tighter due to a sudden two-inch growth spurt, along with what I estimate to be a few pounds of muscles. While ...

“There you go, keep going. You’ve got this!” I scream out encouragement, as I can see one of my newer students-in waiting, fulfilling their goals.

Why We Stay
(Mallory)
The hardest part of this whole process was the numbers, knowing that even if you somehow succeeded, if by chance BiPrism somehow survived, then you know you survived while many of the people you wanted to survive with were not around.

Blue glitches.
Random arcane strings of something.
These were the images that flashed across my consciousness as I entered a rift. Not standing around, not fighting the monsters who exited, but actually entering a rift.
The first thing I felt was the infusion of energy all...

“It’s nothing personal; when someone says that, know that they mean either you aren’t someone they take seriously, or they want you to make it personal so they don’t feel as guilty. To which I say, never let someone feel guilty for their past misdeeds, even the field, or better ye...

“First off, I am glad you have all stayed here with me to this point, especially given everything that has been going on around us,” Mallory began.
Just her presence and poise alone was proof enough of why everyone was here. Why everyone else dared to stay, to give this little slice of home a few ...
