Day 6 started off like the rest, although the night was a pain in the rear. Night kept waking me up every 30 minutes or so to keep working on recharging my gems. Waste not, want not was the motto on mana. The morning was boring. The afternoon was interesting.
I was bored, holding my entrance, looking around, when I saw a f...

2021-04-12 14:05:56 +0000 UTC View PostI snapped upright as I heard someone moving, instinctively preparing an attack. I relaxed as I saw Brawling acting like a sneaky bull in a china shop, trying to get a bit of a fire going as the sky started to get lighter.
I eyed one of the trees, now somewhat de-branched. I shook my head. Those were part of our protection, and Brawling was...
2021-04-12 13:58:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe grove was the centerpiece of our strategy here. Short, stout trees formed a medium circle around us. Right now the space was luxurious – well, as far as luxurious is when what you’re talking about is described as “miniature” – but as more Sentinels showed up – namely Hunting, namely Katastrofi – it’d get real cramped, real fa...

2021-04-08 14:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostSky kept us flying right over the battle lines, over the walls, and with slowly dawning horror I realized what “the deeper in we get the better” meant.
We were going to land right inside the horde. All the plans we had on hiding and shielding and holding ground suddenly made a lot more sense.

Just a few minor things, none of which warranted an announcement on their own.
1) Entries for the art contest close tomorrow - poll should be up on Thursday, and run for a week.
2) Paperbacks are now available on Amazon! They're expensive though. 2021-04-06 12:01:06 +0000 UTC View Post
There was dead silence at Night’s pronouncement. He would say more, in time.
I looked around. Magic. Destruction. Sealing. Sky. Night. Nature. Brawling. Demos. Myself.
The peak of humanity, speeding along in a little boat, high in the sky, off to contain the breach.

2021-04-05 03:23:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe lecture wrapped up fairly late at night. Fortunately for everyone involved, it wasn’t short like the Ranger Academy one, where I needed to dump as much info as I could in as short a period as possible. I had time to properly explain everything, and explain how everything intersected, how magic applied to it – mostly.

“Could I interest you in a play at the amphitheater?” Albina asked me.
I hesitated a moment. They did have some good stuff right now.

Entering late at night, escorting a woman less than half his age? I briefly considered spiking his wheel, but decided that we were probably going to have a long working relationship together, and annoying him too much was probably a poor idea.

We're approaching the end of book 3. When it's over, I'm going to take a short break. Mentally, I keep telling myself it'll be a week, but I like writing and posting too much.

Ok, fine, after not nearly enough beauty sleep. I’d been getting way more than enough sleep on the trip home, and it wasn’t like I needed a solid eight hours of sleep, not with my vitality.
