Journey to the East 29

The view over Phoenixhome and the settlement at its base was beautiful from up here, Gu Xiulan thought. She had always known her home was a jewel of the wastes, a thronging hub of life in burning sands and ash. It had always been a distant thing before though. A fact she could reel off, like her Father’s titles or the histories of the Lu and t...

Tales of Sun and Steel 2

His second youngest was a strange girl. She had always been a strange girl. A quiet infant, a thoughtful and studious child, who rarely acted out or defied her tutors. She took as well to her mother’s lessons as any of her sisters.

But she wasn’t truly satisfied with them. Xiaoli had been the one to spot her fascination with the...

The crow’s wings fluttered once, a loose feather drifting down and clinging to Liming's fabric even as she accelerated away, crossing the compound to cleave the twitching head from a locust-like nightmare gnawing and ripping at a crack in the barrier of warding energies. She swung Cifeng out in a wide arc, trailing radiance, the light coalesci...

Their first duty was the coordination of the evacuation orders to keep panic down and movements organized even as the sky began to warp and the hairline fractures in it grew and grew, lingering longer before they were sealed. Steam and fire drifted from the fissures. 

At the head of the clans’ forces, Cai Renxiang led her peo...

Hiatus Ending soon

Things will be restarting come Monday, a week of normal updates and then the week after the Journey and Serpent's Eye stories.

Also final reminder that the old 1$ red soul tier will be delisted shortly so switch over if you'd like to keep your benefits!

Commission: Tales of Sun and Steel 1

Molten gold glimmered, glinting under the light of the lantern in the craftswoman’s workshop. The gleaming metal rippled, churning, small impurities slowly emerging, clattering and spattering down onto the iron tray affixed to the top of the workbench. Bits of stone and other metals mostly, but there was something more down in the center, it f...

She was Cai Renxiang, heiress of the Emerald Seas, and it took everything in her power to not put her face into her hands and scream. This undignified urge had been coming to her with greater regularity over the last year, but rarely had it risen to the intensity that it had now.

"I apologize, Sir Jia. The Cai are resolving this matter wit...

AN: Apologies everyone here is the correct chapter

Ling Qi tucked her arms to her sides and darted with all her might into the cloud of burning air around the general as a barrier woven of hatred and stubborn pride shattered, unleashing an ocean of boiling marshwater into the sky to be instantly boiled into rancid b...

Announcement/Second Notice

Firstly there will be no update on Aprill 22nd, due to my having gotten called in for jury duty. For my non-american patrons this means I'll be sitting in a courthouse being interviewed by lawyers to see if they want me on the panel that judges a case for most of the day. If I'm selected it may have to be a slightly longer hiatus.

Commission: Bearing Destiny 6

“Sir and Lady Ran, this Rixiong is honored to greet you!” Bent parallel to the ground his back and shoulders were straight, his fists clasped together in respect.

Ran Fen’s Father did not look at him with the blank faced confusion that the younger nobles did, he was too poised for that, but his forehead was a little crinkled. Then ag...

Serpent's Eye's 2

“I remain highly displeased that our Bai clan was allowed to be targeted by malcontents,” Her aunt’s voice was a cold blade, cutting through the air, even with the distortion and echo of the speaking scale. The palm sized white talisman rattled slightly in her hand the faint pressure of Bai Suzhen’s power leaking through the connection.<...

“Goooooing up!”

A tattered skeletal warrior, clad in rusted plate dented and cracked inward screamed into the air flipping end over end with the force of the throw. Below, Gu Xiulan’s arm whipped upward, leading its arc as a bead of molten qi bloomed at the tip of her outstretched fingers. Wind whipped away from it as it compressed d...

“Have you tried the Seven Springs Oil I recommended last week?”

“Only  small amounts. The scent is too strong, though the shine is pleasingly bright.”

“Really, you’re meant to dilute it with three parts water you know. Did you not read the instructions?”

“I did. The recommendation was not meant to avoid the...

Membership Role Changes

Hey everyone, been updating things lately and working on more content, but the time has finally come to bump the Red Soul tier up a notch, with fees and all the inflation since we began $1 just isn't too viable, so the tier will be getting bumped up to 2 dollars usd. The old one dollar tier will be removed at the end of the month, so please swit...

Ling Qi felt her feet sink into deep, cold mud, and the scent of rot filled her nose.

Those sensations barely lasted a second.

Screams. Crackling flames and hissing steam. Heat seared her, an impossible cooking heat pressing down in every direction.

She let out a hacking, gagging cough as white smoke engulfed her

Bearing Destiny 4

Rixiong grimaced as his foot caught on a twig, sending a crackling snap echoing through the forest. The sun was setting, the undergrowth in long, ruddy shadows. He froze where he stood, eyes darting to and fro, ears straining for any sign that the noise had alerted. The weight on his back shifted. Ran Fen let out a small groan, slumped against h...

The direct messaging formation was useful. It projected her words directly to the target along with the signature of her qi. Jaromila had gotten her message, and the woman's response had been swift. The White Sky would delay and put off all meetings for the day, ending them entirely if need be, and they would set their own security even higher.<...

Ling Qi was surprised by the sheer, quiet panic in his voice. She had thought she understood the implications,as someone who studied the past and the many times clans had fallen in the Emerald Seas, the Chu only being the most recent.

Jin Tae fell silent, and it was Cao Chun who spoke. "We have, thanks to Baroness Ling, a Name, and more th...
