Darkness enveloped me, but there was a familiar feeling to this darkness. The darkness that wasn't quite darkness, but was actually nothingness in disguise. I couldn't remember how I got here, but the familiar feeling kept me from panicking.

Once we finished our lovely breakfast and checked our gear, we began our hike to the dungeon. Liath stayed behind, claiming to be useless in both fighting and long walks. He acted pained when nobody argued with him.

The hike itself didn't seem that difficult at...

It hadn't taken us the full week to set out thanks to Liath's familiarity with the Empire of Calkuti. I only had to wait three days before we hit the road. It was much easier to bear than Nash's training. Every time we stopped for lunch, he would drill me on t...

Rayzun's introduction took nearly ten minutes to complete, and most of that was because of my propensity for collecting titles. Ulurmak and Olmira had nearly as many, but I guess that makes sense for the ruler of another nation and a multi-centur...
