Today we will speak with the Guardian. I prepared my flute in case the Guardian would let me play for her and sat at the dining room table.
Mom is cooking breakfast, domr meat, like always, with some fruit slices and this time cold root. The roots are bulbous at the start but branches down several carrot-like tendrils. The excess ice mana ...

"Aly, What kind of craft do you want to pursue?" Mom asked.
It was morning. We are eating breakfast, a hot pot of Domr meat, milk, and fruit slices.
"We are going to open our own business." Dad supplemented "While Feyan supports us as a nurturer she also makes jewelry and sells it to merchants. Me specializing in gem cutting and meta...

It’s been a year since the rebellion and the battle with the Kodoku cannibals. While the rebel Champion is still out there somewhere, the rest of the traitors have been killed or captured. These despicable people are now down in the palace’s prison for punishment.
The prison is a cold and miserable place only meant for the worst of hum...

I did it! I got to level one hundred in my bond! I was excited. There was now so much to take in! Let's take it one step at a time.
Previously I only got one level for my new skill. Does that mean this skill is somehow better? What is this skill capable of? But let's forget that for now, I have to see what evolutions I got! I've b...

I felt mom's heavily gravid belly. It has several months now, almost a year. Mom's been pregnant for longer than I would originally thought she would be. The gestation period may be longer for the Runalymo.
I can clearly see the mana of the twins now. Even at an early stage, their bond has been developed, Both seem to have a water bond.

I did it! I capped my Sense Mana! Now Just need to level up my bond!
But the next thing that happened shocked me. Mana began condensing into my eyes wraps! The mana began changing, transforming into a unique form of mana. So much mana poured into my eyes wraps that it looked like a shining light to me. Then the unique mana of the eye wraps...

The sun is shining in through the open window, I'm in my bed. A blanket is draped over me
How did I get here? Wait, that's no window!
There was a large hole in the ceiling. I got out of bed, stumbled on wobbly legs and reached for the door only to fall. I felt so weak. With a few tested movements, my strength slowly returned...

The storm arrived with an announcement of lightning and thunder. Gusts of wind rocked the shelter and the earth trembled. The air froze then became swelteringly hot. Rain pounded on the roof and mists formed inside.
With me at the center and barriers and magic shields being cast color exploded around me. So much mana, raging with many temp...

This was bad, If there is a complete lack of mana here I'd probably get a breakthrough for sensing mana in a mana-starved area. In any other case I'd want to get it, but not now, not when it'll stop me from capping my skill. Which is putting me in a tough position.
"Momara, There's a storm approaching. A really, really bad one." I honestly...

On the way back to the village I noticed a distinct lack of earth mana and nature mana. It appears spring has arrived in some major forest or something.

"Absolutely incredible!" Chyzu exclaimed. "You must become one of my apprentices!"
Well, She would be able to help me level my bond a lot faster and teach me more about classes.
"Err, I'll have to ask my Momara about it." I'm not sure if I want to dedicate myself to fighting or competition. I'm not sure what I want to do. Music? Craf...

Brandon marches down the street, his heavy armored footsteps announcing his presence, his cape fluttering behind him, accentuating his command. He doesn't need it; he can increase his Bond's presence, but the Emperor treats the citizens delicately, and as his Oathbound, he must do so too.

It's been a couple of weeks now and the village has been restored. But a violent air element storm had blown away several buildings and injured four people. Someone had even been knocked into a coma for a few days when a piece of lumber hit her in the head.
The storms have been getting more intense and the weather getting increasingly chao...

We looked at the scorched wood and collapsed buildings. The devastated village around us.
"Look at this, children," Elder Yukika said gesturing to the destruction around. After yesterday the two living Elders had a meeting with the parents and they all agreed to give us all a lesson, even the kids who didn't learn how to use their bonds. M...

The next day was spent trying to recover anything salvageable. After that people had to remove any damaged structures and walkways, everything damaged had to be replaced.
About thirty-seven percent of the village was burnt, the fires so intense from the fire storm almost everything burnt was at risk of collapsing if it hadn't already. Many...

My mana, with some effort, pushed against the Guardian's, still not able to leak out even tiny drops of my mana, slowly poisoning my body. I had long since figured out that, no, you can't go over your mana capacity, if you do it instead damages your body.
The more mana you p...

It's been five years now. A lot has happened but at the same time not much. I gained new breakthroughs in Sense Mana. Met with the Guardian dragon a few more times, actually, I apparently have a meeting with her again soon. Gained a breakthrough in charm. Trained a lot with my bond and figured out a lot. Very carefully experimented and trained w...

Today is the day I figure out what the bond is! I declare to myself.

So, where to start? First, what is a bond? Translating to Runalymo it reads ...

It's about been a year I've greatly expanded my vocabulary and can now speak in a few full sentences. I've also learned how to walk and run, though my parents still worry over me. They still think I'm blind. Can't they see that I can navigate my way through the house?

It's been several months now and I think I have a good handle on this language. It was kind of frustrating to learn by what rules if any it was operating on but then I figured out each syllable had its own meaning. For Example, The word for greeting that I learned so long ago, Laeso. La means to greet, or to introduce, not a direct translation b...

Chozu woke up to a smiling Myrou. The hand-tall featureless clothed figure watching over her dreams. It had been her latest devotion project to Myrou. The projection of Myrou over the statue proves her skill as a master clay sculpture. Being able to make a statue in which a fragment of Myrou inhabits is the sign of a master in one's craft, altho...

It's been a week and Alysara has not once opened her eyes, ever since she had that nightmare. A part of me wonders if it really was a nightmare, however. Feyan never heard her scream in such pain before. There had been no traces of magic being used. The healer had tried to look at her eyes but the moment her eyes had been forced open she started...

Sleeping for the better part of yesterday has me wide awake in the middle of the night. Welp— other than starting at the ceiling or waking my parents up, there’s nothing better to do, so I meditate, focusing on my soul until I reach the wall again. Maybe it’s blocking me from truly accessing my memories? In that case, maybe I should tear i...

I guess that explains the lack of men. Honestly, the clues were adding up, but I was just going off of a bias that men didn’t have breasts, but the fact that just about half of the people are taller, the fact that the skill “Nutritional Milk” is a race thing, and the multiple couples of short and tall women around really should have clued ...

I can't see what's going on as they are behind a curtain, but as soon as she leaves the hut, Mom walks in, her long royal blue hair fluttering behind her.

Stars twinkle around me like a cloud of tiny shining jewels. They appear and disappear, growing dim and eventually winking out of existence only for new stars to appear elsewhere. They are a dark red in color but, looking around, I see a small collection of them with a faint grey tinge. This greyness seems to be contagious, slowly spreading to n...
