Lexie sent Tate home after telling him that she might not come home for a while herself. She gave him Doyle's number and instructed him to contact the boy and reschedule their meeting for later in the week. Also, he was to tell Uncle Max that she was spending the night in the dungeon.
Of course, she wasn't sure how long she would actually ...
2026-01-27 01:52:55 +0000 UTC View PostLexie and Tate kept staring at each other until the food warmer dinged to let him know the pizza was ready. At almost the same time, Lexie received a text on her phone.
It was from Doyle.
Doyle: Did you manage to meet him? Duru?
Lexie thought about her response before she typed it out.

2026-01-23 01:26:34 +0000 UTC View PostIt all went back to what Naem had told Lexie earlier, looking at things from the top down.
Starting from the fact that all forms of magic inherently originated from chaos. The Chaos Mother, to be exact. Different species accessed that chaos mother in different ways.
But the Fae did it in the more interesting way.

Although that was likely an illusion too, because as fast as they were moving, it would be impossible to see a real ...
2026-01-21 02:42:04 +0000 UTC View PostLexie had never seen Taybal market before, and so Tate had to show her an image of it on the NET.
Once she had the image, though, she could teleport there using her orb. Tate also showed her how to create an untraceable money transfer, and she initiated it as they teleported to Taybal, while Duru acknowledged receipt.

“No,” Lexie said. “It's a pretty good deal. You get something you want, and I get something I want. I think I'm being more than fair."
“You–” he suddenly looked down, realizing the hordes of press currently taking eager photographs of her. “Oh, for the love of–You get in here.”

But it just seemed nearly impossible in practice.
So far, Lexie had the rough schematics for living cards, but she was looking for a loophole that would allow those cards t...

“A creature is approaching me. I am not certa...

“Here and there,” Naem responded, drifting closer to her. She rolled her eyes. Of course. It wasn’t like she expected a straight answer from him anyway.
“Do you know where my father is?” she asked.
“No. Aiden dissolved the part ...

But the sound he was making wasn't choking sounds. They were intermittent gasps. His breathing was shallow and fast, like his lungs were having trouble completing each breath.

If she entered the dungeon and connected to Yasycht, she could locate her father, but getting out would still be a risk. She’d never attempted interdimensional travel with pocket dimensions before. It might be riskier than t...

He did it again and again, holding them there, while the Ward-Hero put up shields that deflected the bullets.

“In a pocket dimension near the Shatters.”

“How did t...

Lexie inhaled. “D...
