Beef and Hallow arrived at the hidden hatchery, their eyes wide with confusion. "Whoa, this is in the "I believe it was hidden after the Dragoon's betrayal," Yin said, leading them deeper into the dusty chamber. With a light hop he became airborne, swimming through the empty space beyond the balcony with serpentine grace. "But whoever did so was sympathetic to our once-great partnership, and wise beyond measure." Vess laughed. She had rolled up her sleeves and was covered in dust and dark grease, but…-

As quickly as he left, the light resolved once more, and Felix found himself far away from the jungles of Jaast. The world around him took on darker tones, and the sound of rushing water filled his ears as his feet found solid ground. He stood on the precipice of a slanted underground reservoir. Hundreds of feet below, thousands of tons of water roared out of a sluice gate and into a glittering underground lake. However, these were minor, forgettable details. Far more pressing was the swarm of horse-sized…

"Here," Tzfell said, wiping her tattooed brow with a kerchief. "That should finish it." Laur stood up, his normally fine hair bundled back in a sloppy braid. He, too, was sweating and had stripped down to his undershirt. "I am completed on my end as well. My lord?" "Yeah, I'm done too." Felix stood back and looked over the entire array with a critical eye. It was close to a hundred feet in diameter, and was probably the most complicated working he'd seen outside the ancient seat and seals. Complexity…

Vess carefully pulled a crate from the shelf and pried it open with her bare hands. The wood crumbled more than splintered, the low Tier material barely holding itself together. “What is this?” She reached in and pulled out a handful of rocks. “Tier 0 stone. What’s the point of storing something like this?” “There is no point,” Yintarion said, his Body taking up much of the small room. He twisted about, tendrils twitching. “Unless they’re camouflage.” Vess and her Companion stood in…

"Fuck you," Felix growled. The burr of his Nemesis Title fell away and the pain faded just as Felix swiftly rejected the restoration request and ripped his hand off the Altar. Chunks of ice came with it, and his fingertips tore beneath his claws, leaving a small splatter of blood on the Altar. Much to his surprise, however, the blood swiftly absorbed into the stone itself. "Uh, that's not normal," Archie observed. "No. No it's not," Felix banished the Title notification. "Siva probably booby-trapped…

Felix found Beef and Hollow in the mess hall attached to the training yards. It was a wide and elevated building, open on one side to allow folks to watch their peers challenge the various areas, and had a particularly good view of the Dragon's Roost. As Felix climbed the interior steps, ignoring the whispers and bows that trailed behind him, he found it to be quite pleasant. It felt a little bit like college, except the food was definitely better. The hall was half filled with Dragoons scarfing down…

Zara had performed a ritual for Felix twice now, one that had expanded and amplified his connection to the other Unbound. He planned to use it once again. Previously, it had taken a while to form. The inscriptions alone took at least an hour. They included some specialized sigaldry regarding all three Aspects and the standard elements. But for months now, Felix had felt the barrier between him and the other Unbound had strengthened. They were hidden from him somehow. To break through that interference,…

The Citadel library was larger than Felix expected. Upon entering its large double doors carved of polished wood he found himself within a wide, circular chamber absolutely teeming with dark wooden bookshelves. An elaborately embroidered rug lined the main path, leading down several tiers to an open space that revealed a second level that opened up into a balcony that ran along the inside circumference. The central area was filled with desks, long tables, and chairs, each piece of furniture exquisitely…

Felix frowned. "What do you mean?" Felix asked. "Incomplete how?" Hunger rumbled, but gave no further answer. "You just need to eat more? How much more?" Felix asked. Felix frowned. He certainly didn't have a problem with clearing out monsters from Nymean ruins, especially when he could benefit so much from it anyway. If it helped his Hunger too…well, she had proven herself a stalwart ally. Even if she had eaten the majority of the Pathless’ power he’d consumed. "Hunger," Felix said. "What…

Ignoring his notifications, Felix whipped his head up and fixed his gaze on the sky. The stars had returned. The shadow—whatever it was—had gone. The Ruin. He could remember it now, with all the clarity of his Born Trait. Felix gasped, newfound pain rippling through him.The nameless wave of destruction he’d witnessed would not leave his Mind, even as he flinched away from it. The memory drove at him, stabbing at his Aspects as if to undo itself and Felix flared his Void Sanctuary. The lightless…
