WM [97] Push As Far As You Can

The door opened with a hiss as alien lights filled the stairwell. Bjorn had ascended alone in case the storm had already grown to the point that it would alter the minds of those caught in it. He could already feel the corruption reaching into him but finding no purchase as his primana defended him against the onslaught. 

Bjorn took h...

Interlude WM [96.5] Princess’s Gambit Final

The convoy moved steadily along the well-worn road, the rhythmic clatter of hooves and creaking of wheels filling the crisp morning air. At the heart of the formation rode the royal carriage, a fortress of gilded steel and reinforced wood, its black and gold banners bearing the sigil of the Qar Dynasty. Within, First Princess Sigrun reclined aga...

Interlude WM [96.5] Princess’s Gambit Part 2

The skies above the battlefield were chaos, the closest thing to the Infernal a living being can get. It was a swirling storm of wings, spells, and blood. Wendigo wyvern knights of the combined Noble factions fought desperately against the surprise offensive of druids riding griffons and cockatrices. The wendigo force had been taken by total sur...

Interlude WM [96.5] Princess’s Gambit Part 1

The war for the Diredain Forest had shifted; the druids attack had pushed the wendigo forces from important holding in the northeast. However when reinforcements had gone to back up the wendigo defensive line the druids retreated and cut off the supporting force while launching a surprise offensive in the heart of the Ragnarsson Domain. The inte...

WM [96] Breaking a Few Rules

Without hesitation, she tested what they had unlocked together. Drawing all the water back from Bjorn’s body, she held it in a single orb above her palm. It shimmered under the faint light, pure and clear. Then, she activated the Poison Infusion. Like all of her other communed skills she knew them on an instinctual level as if it was always a ...

WM [95] We Need A Plan

A few hours passed, and the team’s equipment was fully repaired. Tanisha’s armor, which had suffered extensive damage, had lost most of its enchantments. However, the golden lines woven into the armor were infused rather than enchanted. Because of that they retained their magical properties. The repairs altered its appearance, lightening the...

WM [94] Tanisha, Explain!

Laxy continued her explanation. “Mana, corrupted mana and other energies are vented during the process to purify Creation. Under normal operations Doxy would have switched to utilizing Creation to power the facility but the site manager has forbade Doxy from accessing any other energy. As you can see this has caused many other issues.”

WM [93] No Moping Young Lady

Bjorn observed Tanisha and the others as they ate, his golden eyes occasionally glinting in the light. He wasn’t particularly hungry, but when Aurelius placed several plates of garlic-spiced ribs in front of him, two of his heads couldn’t resist digging in. The savory aroma was too tempting to ignore.

At the same time, Bjorn’s mind w...

WM [92] Horns

The snarls of the beasts grew louder, their guttural roars reverberating like a storm at their backs. Isin risked another glance over his shoulder, his stomach tightening as he saw the pack of grotesque, six-legged monstrosities. Their visage was nightmarish and their howls invoked a primal instinct to flee in terror. The fissures were their onl...

WM [91] Cowardly Commander

Bjorn rejoined the group inside of the barracks at the same moment the residual force that kept Failsafe sealed finally fully released him. Bjorn could feel the construct as it regained control of the right head and looked around bleary eyed. He seemed totally confused as he took in the change in location. 

Bjorn didn’t focus on Fai...

SND [23] To Kill A Mage

The world plunged into chaos the instant the druid hydrokinetic appeared. Bjorn reacted a split second before Freja, yanking her to the ground just as a spear of water hissed through the air, slicing the tree where her head had been. A heartbeat later, ...

WM [90] Truths About Creation

“I admit, it was a shock to see you in this form, Isin,” Laxy said, her voice tinged with a mix of awe and sorrow. “The last time we met, you were undoubtedly Nephilim. Now, you are a Child of P̶̧̿O̴͎̭̐I̶̠̙͊S̷̨̨͉̈́͆Ǫ̷̘͍̕N̸͚̯̹̽. I can only imagine the trials you endured to be forced into such a state.”

SND [22] Just a Normal Day

After a few hours on the road Freja finally found the last ingredient she needed for Sabec’s surprise gift. She retreated back into the wagon after allowing Bjorn to go off hunting again as he seemed eager. She opened the back tailgate flap so she would have light to work.

Sabec’s wagon had a small work station and even an anvil since ...

WM [89] Good to See You Again

The golem hung suspended mid-air, its metal form supported by thin, gleaming cables that connected directly to its spine. Its faintly glowing emerald eyes gave it an unsettling presence, but it made no move to attack or defend itself. The figure bore an...

SND [21] Pretty Claws

Emotions ran high throughout the evening, though the two goblin boys were already back to their antics, oblivious to the day’s weight. Freja returned to her tent, determined to finish setting it up. Sabec had shown her how the night before, and it seemed simple enough: ropes, poles, cloth, and stakes. 

How hard could it be?...

WM [88] Team Leader

The new threats were all invisible; only the sound of their metal feet clattering against the ground and the faint shimmer in the air from their aether gave any indication of where the beings were. Tanisha pulled out her knives from the sheaths on her side and prepared to attack.

“Everyone, we need to retreat to the top of the stairs!”...

WM [87] Bad Feeling About This

Fuyumi led the way into the first open doorway of the new hallway. As they stepped inside, the room illuminated automatically, revealing an observatory. Bjorn’s gaze was drawn to the massive window dominating one wall, offering a view of something. He closed the distance to finally understand what he was seeing.

The window overlooked a s...

What If… SND [4] Failure of The Salstars

What is the What if?

These are non-cannon events that are alternate takes different chapters from book one and two. Maybe somebody died or survived, maybe someone made a different choice or maybe someone left the group. This ask the question “what if…” Freja wasn't a Shia and didn't have the Shaigaunt that removed her from the Salsta...

SND [20] Saved A Life

The caravan creaked to life, the wagons rumbling over the uneven dirt path as the journey began. The Isi had split up leaving several of their members going ahead. Only Tyr, Embla and one other warrior remained with the convoy. Bjorn lay curled in the cargo hold of Sabec’s wagon, his body resting lazily atop crates of supplies. The lizard’s ...

WM [86] The Swordman

Tanisha found constantly cycling seiðr to her daggers and armor to be a menial task. It did require a small amount of her attention to maintain the connection but not much more. The wendigo already had an innate ability to channel their mana through their bodies. This was further amplified after she evolved into a greater. Fuyumi appreciated th...

WM [85] Armories Start Small

Fuyumi guided Tanisha and Aurelius through meditative techniques. She had to enter her core which was now a full silhouette of her body. She could see the mana and maya aspects of her seiðr alloy traveling along the proper channels as each energy was intended to do. The problem was still Aether which slowly but steadily damaged her magic pathwa...

The Herne Hunter is the ultimate nightmare of the wendigo people, whispered of only in the innermost sanctuaries of the royal family. This dark reflection of the Forest Father’s will represen...

WM [84] Looks Worse

The new construct was different. Humanoid, its sleek, metallic frame shimmered faintly with an aetheric glow. Long, swept sword-like arms extended from its elbows, and arcs of faint energy trailed behind the blades with each step. Its head was featureless except for a single, piercing blue light where its face should have been. It was an immedia...

WM [83] Just a Girl and Her Hydra

“System reboot initiated. Please hold.” A neutral voice spoke from the control panel. 

Everyone took a step back from the black panel on the large flat device. Their eyes slowly adapting to the bright lights that suddenly flooded the large room. The pods Tanisha noticed as she walked in now hummed to life each one opening revealin...

SND [19] Jealousy

Freja woke up to the sound of Wyatt and Caleb, the goblin brothers, complaining about having to clean up the campsite so early in the morning. She was in a small one-person tent and even had a sleeping roll lent to her by Sabec. Bjorn was curled up with...

WM [82] Freedom

Bjorn watched intently as Tanisha winced, bracing herself for some dramatic transformation. Seconds passed, but nothing happened. Her tightly shut eyes fluttered open, and she gave herself a once-over, her expression shifting from apprehensive to confus...
