Tala… might have made a mistake. Flow had just let out a resonant That made sense. Both were soulbound to her, and so they affected one another on a deep level. Still, Tala could see precisely what had occurred, and so she wasn’t panicking… yet. Rane and Master Tai had noticed that Master Tai had likely felt void be introduced into the weapon… maybe. Actually, probably not. She didn’t think he would be able to penetrate her aura around her soulbound weapon when it was in her hand, and…-

Tala and Rane arrived outside Artia’s shop just as Master Tai turned the corner on the far end of the street, entering that side of the market. She was still gratified when her threefold sight made things like picking out a specific person in a crowd so trivial. Tala waved to make sure he saw them among the other pedestrians in the area. Thankfully, there weren’t so many that he had trouble seeing her when she made such an obvious gesture. He waved back, seeming uncertain even as he continued…

Tala and Kedva stood outside of Kit, waiting for Kedva to drain fully of magical power. Even after their rather slow walk back to Kit’s door, it took another long minute before they were both satisfied. Finally, Kedva nodded, and Tala’s threefold vision confirmed her drained state. Kedva was mundane again. They ran through the tests, recording the baseline for her. That way they could see if her improvement was linear, multiplicative, or some other manner of enhancement. As to the results, they…

Tala still felt off, but from what Master Grediv, Mistress Vanga, and another Paragon that Master Grediv had brought in to examine her had said, that was to be expected. Not that they had experience with someone severing the existence-connection to their own body. If that’s actually what happened. Tala couldn’t quite tell if that is what had caused her current state, or if the murder-eye’s attack—whatever it had been—had caused her current state. Effectively, if her own defense was at fault,…

Tala hopped in place, trying to settle her nerves. Alat chuckled within her head. Flow was waiting off to the side. The weapon wouldn’t help in the Doman-Imithe, and she didn’t want to risk it. A bit more than two days had passed since her unit had opened the cell and itemized the contents. The ‘powers that be’ had gotten back to them through Mistress Sigyn, and it was agreed that they should recover the cell-core. She’d informed them about the ‘murder-eye,’ and the response was…

Tala was not sure she could get into the Doman-Imithe, but she had a good idea of how it First, she wrapped herself in void. To do this, she funneled more power into the void magic aspects of her elk leathers along with aspect-mirroring the void magics from Flow onto them as well. With force of will, she impressed the power into the defensive magics that created a full shell around her, vaguely in the form of armor but without the gaps. She was very careful to She still had her inscriptions…

Tala glanced back at Alefast as it faded into the distance behind her and her traveling companions. Her unit-mates sat around her, Mistress Cerna piloting their combined, flying contraption, as she usually did. The Paragon for this trip was a wisp of a woman, smaller even than Tala. Her hair was a blonde so light that it was almost silver. Her skin was smooth and unblemished, and she could have been anywhere between twenty-five and twenty thousand. Tala might have assumed the Paragon was a slender…

Tala stood outside the room in which Rane was Refining, holding back tears while listening to him scream. Her threefold sight gave her a perfect look at what lay beyond the heavily reinforced, iron-core door, but she almost wished that it didn’t. Rane was sitting in a chair—well, actually he was strapped in—holding an artifact style device that was sending pulses through his body from one hand to the other. The magic radiated out like a wave, sweeping down his arm before spreading out to wash over…

Tala stood on the wall of Alefast with all but one of her unit-mates. The dark night sky was filled with high, wispy clouds that did little to block the stars, despite the light pollution from the city at her back. Master Girt, alone, had dropped over the edge of the wall, treating the hardened earth and rock at the wall’s base as water, diving into it in order to disperse the energy of his fall. He surfaced a moment later, rising up to stand in the cleared area before the wall. The eight canine…
