All the windows had been sealed, and the building had no natural light. Bjorn hadn’t seen the sun in weeks and was getting antsy. They moved underground at night and stayed in one place during the day. He understood why—he was a three-headed hydra with antlers, not something they could easily disguise. Being the size of a pony meant he would...
2024-07-09 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThorfinn stood invisible to all senses in the small square before the gatehouse. He was in the inner city, having easily slipped through during the changing of the guards. The square was damaged, and obvious signs of battle were still being repaired. Until he got in, he had assumed the prince was purposefully dragging his heels on fixing the meg...
2024-07-08 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun finally crested the horizon, marking the beginning of a new day. Thorfinn could not believe the ease with which he had entered the Fort City of Lavi. The city, which should by all means be a battleground between the royals and nobles as they contested the rights of ownership, appeared unexpectedly calm. He and his master, First Princess ...

He was panting with raspy breaths and his legs shook from exhaustion. His head pounded with a dull ache as he forced himself to keep walking.
Any time he stopped he swore he heard it get closer. He could sense its eyes sizing him up just out...
2024-06-18 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe goblin family were all aboard their wagon in the back of the caravan. Despite the hectic few days, Helina was happy that things were settling into a normal routine for her family again. They didn’t have long before they would arrive at their next village, which if she remembered correctly was fairly new. Or at least it hadn’t been there ...

Things were going well. Traveling through the forest was the specialty of the druids. They only had half a day of travel left before they would finally reach the Salstar domain. They were on schedule to meet with a larger invasion force that would take...

Spellcraft is the discipline of transcribing the magnificent into the mundane. Making grand arcane working of the world into script, math and formula. Turning magic into science and the mysterious into the quantifiable. Mages of this discipline find themselves at the forefront of magical research and...

The march from the Nazem territory was smoother than anyone could have imagined. The traitorous noble wendigo fool made infiltrating the kingdom and sabotaging infrastructure child’s play. It was almost too easy, which was what had everyone on edge. B...

Thrand was gone, the spot where he’d landed was already being repaired by groundskeepers. Students were expected to continue their studies as if what had just happened was normal. Matthew and Julie were mortified, and several of the non-wendigo studen...

“How many times have I seen this day now?” Eira asked herself, as there was no one around to answer. “I wonder what I should do this lifetime? Maybe I will finally get around to ending the war with the Druids.” She tapped her lip in contemplati...

Before we get started there are some things to know about the interlude chapters. These are not from the perspective of Tanisha/Freja or Bjorn but various other characters we may or may not have seen in the original story. All Interlude chapters are Cannon events that happened behind the scenes of the main b...

Time seemed to slow as Tanisha searched the bond to feel Bjorn’s emotions. He was confident and wanted her to trust him. She had no choice, as she was just bitten by one of if not the most toxic animals she had ever heard of, but she did trust him. It was at that moment she saw a stream of venom be carried in the aether directly into Thyra.&nb...
2024-05-23 20:03:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe back line of the knights were in disarray; they had to flee the poison while those amongst them who could cleanse the area and heal the afflicted sprung into action. Tanisha saw a contingent of sentinels in heavy plate were in a shield wall formation, blocking escape through the hole in the gatehouse. They needed to make it past them if they...

I'm excited to announce that we've reached a significant milestone: Chapter 80 marks the end of “The Chronicles of a Scalebound Sage: Reincarnated as a Hydra Familiar. It's been an incredible journey crafting this story, and I'm so grateful for your unwavering support and enthusiasm.
Power unlike anything Tanisha had ever felt coursed through her veins. She expected pain or to be knocked out for days or something, but no, there was none of that. She was a little dizzy but even that quickly dissipated. She felt good; better than good.
That was, until she sniffed the air and nearly keeled over while she dry heaved ...
2024-05-19 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe attack came quickly; one second Bjorn was following Tanisha out of the room with Svan and Joha, the next Harald barreled in through the window. In barely a moment he aimed and fired directly at Bjorn. The attack was too close to dodge and too powerful to survive if he was struck with the wind magic construct. The instant before he was killed...
2024-05-16 21:13:58 +0000 UTC View PostKnight Commander Harald barreled into the room, his familiar was too large to enter. His magic rose in wisps around him and the air quivered under his influence. There was no hesitation in any motion as the man took a knee with his bow drawn. He had his orders, but at this moment he needed to take out the biggest threat. The monstrous familiar t...

Bjorn woke up in a void, a dark blankness that somehow felt familiar, but he couldn’t tell how he knew this place. His body had reverted to how it had been when he first hatched from his egg. He was tiny in comparison to what he’d been a moment ago....
2024-05-12 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe plan was actually relatively simple, Joha disguised as Tyr would ride with Tanisha on Bjorn to draw attention away from the escaping Isi behind them. They meet up with Svan who takes them underground to escape. Tyr is their primary target so more resources will be used to take him down. If they get the attention of the Hands even better. The...
