  • by David Martin "I-I feel strange," Howard said with a smile. "Today is the first time I hurt someone human, and I don't feel bad. It's important to hurt others to defend those you love right?" Howard gently petted Meros on the head before his entire body surged with flames. The beautiful flickerings of blue light soon got swallowed by powerful orange dancing spirals that cast Howard's shadow in dozens of directions. Stepping off his back foot, Howard felt something inside of him growing stronger. His horns slowly grew…
  • by David Martin Cantron City, Sand Market Una and Monica followed after a Workalin further and further into the strange Workalin stronghold with an Aresoul walking by their side. Feeling his presence, Una felt a strong desire to both vomit and rip him to shreds. The Aresoul had been the reason Zack had been locked up, and the true reason why she'd stop pursuing strength. A few years ago, her and Reece had been both at the same strength, however, after that incident with Zack, the only training she did is griping on the…
  • by David Martin Hundreds of meters from where Howard had fought the magicians, there happened to be a small cave that led deep down into the earth. Inside of it, a blue lake of Coagulated Ki caused the space to shimmer with a majestic light. On every wall, blue and white flashes cascaded back and fourth, causing the space to look like a glowing wonderland. Walking towards the lake, Howard felt his body starting to collapse. 'Ugh, I guess Dream Ki is pretty good at masking wounds,' Howard collapsed onto his knees,…
  • by David Martin "I wasn't expecting this," Howard held out his hand, smiling back at the cute creature as six beams of light descended towards him. On his right and left arm, two small Channeling doors appeared, causing his body to glow an almost eerie white light. "Sorry little guy. We can't play any longer. Go back to your family, okay?" "LEEE LEEE LEEE!" The creature let out a gut wrenching cry before Howard's body got swallowed by the massive beams. Boom! A large screen of dust shot in every direction that soon…
  • by David Martin "Howard, the Ki Reservoir is about 20 miles away. Once the iron horse stops, I need you to go ahead and check if any Authoritarians are in the area." Barabin said, leaning over while patting him on the shoulder. "Because of the terrain, I can't sense what's in the area." "Once you enter into the Ki Reservoir, shoot a large fireball into the air to indicate if it's all clear. If there is an Authoritarian there, run back immediately." "I get it! You don't have to repeat yourself a thousand times!" Howard…
  • by David Martin Four days passed by uneventfully in the Open Furnace. Howard let Jenny sink her teeth into his arm once a day in order to satisfy her thirst. Sitting outside on the edge of a endless mountain range, Jenny walked over to him in a blue dress. "Today is the last day Barabin said I need to drink your blood," Jenny carefully placed herself by Howard's side, gently rubbing her head against his shoulder. "Mmm, I'm going to miss it. When I drink your blood, I feel so close to you. Howard, you you like me?"…
  • by David Martin The three dream beasts turned into shadows that instantly rocketed towards the bus as a large flame spewed outwards and engulfed them in flames. Howard had been watching carefully the entire time, and didn't hesitate. With his hand held outward, the entire world seemed to turn countless shades of orange as Harley stepped down on the gas pedal The bus soon shot off into the distance as three forms chased after them. The three dream beasts seemed to possess an endless amount of unnatural speed and power,…
  • by David Martin Varlan Outpost, Porthill Valley Large dream beasts towered outside a small set of wooden stalls in a round cyclical pattern. Visiting them, dozens of Varlan from different sectors in the Furnace traded goods and bartered items that they required for the following year. Occasionally, an Aresoul would pass by in a black cape that caused a mixture of disdain and reverence to emit from the shopkeepers. However, as long as a visitor had the right currency, any item for sale could be bartered and traded in…
  • by David Martin In his dreams, Howard had spent the entire night trying to tame a strange beast with two wings and six tails. However, the strangest thing about this dream was that other people had seemed to also be trying to catch this strange beast, chasing it with such urgency he almost forgot he'd slept through the night. Awakening with his arms stretched, Howard found Harley and Jenny had already left the bus. A few zombies got decimated by flames from a beautiful girl in a black leather outfit while next to her…
  • by David Martin "Brannette gave me a guide to pass out to each of you," Jenny finished drawing the last diagram by the time they'd reach the halfway point to the Ki Reservoir. "I'll be with Howard all night, now, Barabin." "Good, don't drink his blood when he sleeps," Barabin looked at Jenny with one eye open, staring at the strange drawing emanating light on his hand. For years, he wondered if she had been alive or dead, and now everynight he'd have to see his hands shimmering while he rested in Sally's arms. "You're…
