Everything faded away into darkness. One by one the stars winked out and the evening wind stopped blowing. Leif found himself floating in an empty void, it was absent of all defining features or characteristics. As the spriggan tried to concentrate on his new surroundings they once again began to shift. His mind felt like it was being held underwater, all thoughts murky and distant. Voices echoed, as if spoken from a vast distance. Cracks of light formed in the void surrounding Leif, he twisted and…

“Kossia?” Leif asked, his voice a questioning hiss. Hera raised an eyebrow and tilted her head. “Oh, you got something to say?” Leif hesitated. “You?” She asked with heavy scepticism. “Knew me?” “No. Maybe? I don’t know. I don’t remember who I was.” She squinted at his words. “Then. How. Do. You. Know. My. Family?” Each word punctuated with intent. “One of my skills… has a note attached to it. I didn’t know what it was until your name was mentioned.” Leif…

“I normally do the cooking.” The old lady said as she casually walked into the camp. “But it’s Academy policy to teach those on expeditions basic survival skills. You see?” “Is it overcooked?” the elderly woman asked. “Are we all going to get food poisoning? The group looked between her and the laundry carrying spriggan. “Lady Melissa!” A bald man exclaimed as he stood, hastily unsheathing his sword. “Intruder in the camp! Drive it off!” Leif saw Marcus and Sieg get to their…

Leif didn’t know what to do. Should he do his advancement trial right now? He was currently at the skill threshold and Marcus and Sieg could be gone for a few hours to a few days. While he was trying to make up his mind Leif did what he often found himself doing while nervous. Look through his status. === Name: Leif Vin Race: Amber Blight Spriggan Age: 11 Attributes: Free: 2 Total Level: 25 The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Marcus was dead. Or rather, he felt like he was dead. He drifted in and out of consciousness over the course of several hours. When the memory of what had happened to him bubbled to the surface a soothing presence would chase it away. Two voices slowly filtered down through the haze. It took him several minutes to focus enough to make out who exactly was talking. The first presence was a familiar sharp frost, the second, a golden pillar of authority. In his state of half awareness Marcus thought he…

It was three days later and Marcus still hadn’t awoken. According to Sieg, falling into a coma-like state after being extensively healed was common. Leif held his mostly regrown arm up to the sun, the warming rays had been far more comfortable ever since being trapped underground. He lay in what had once been a wheat field under a blanket of animals. The spriggan had discovered a powerful new component to his skill; multi-petting. Four ethereal hands of amber each attended to a different creature. A…

Leif was halfway through constructing a hog pyramid when Sieg emerged from the partially wrecked house. The spriggan had periodically checked on both sleeping humans every other hour. Both men Leif could still feel the ache in his very soul from the overuse of his skills. Speaking of skills… As Sieg sat down on a fallen log Leif looked through his current list in search of his next fusion. === Gold Iron Physique / Amber Awareness / Blight’s Bounty / The Well Within II / Settle Aura of…

As the sun began to set two humans, a spriggan and a pair of deer walked into a destroyed bar. There was no punch line, or an actual bar for that matter. The building had been split down the middle from a blast of condensed energy. Fires lit up the night sky, weaving trails of smoke were blown away by the crisp evening wind. If Leif never went underground again in his life he could die happy. He stared down at the stump he had in place of an arm, the wound ached with a phantom pain. Both deer nuzzled…

A clone of shadow scaled the exterior of the devastated temple as Szesis watched through the copies senses. Both human and spriggan were in rough shape, clearly injured from a life and death battle. The second human appeared with a flash of light a few moments later, Szesis immediately dismissed him as dead. He doubted anyone could lose that much blood and guts and walk away alive. But both human and spriggan tried everything they could to save him. As he watched Szesis’ attention was drawn to the…

Two deer munched leaves and grass on a hillside overlooking the shattered city of Pherin. As mundane, Dark blue beams flashed out from inside the gargantuan thaumatic working, the darkness having a diameter of over a hundred metres. Goblins poured from the city's walls in their hundreds, the small green monsters were in such a panic they completely ignored the two free meals observing the battle between incarnate and awakened. Eventually the beams stopped, which disappointed the deer. The light-show…
