Tala watched from the sidelines as Master Grediv slowly circled Adrill and Brandon within her sanctum. They were all gathered on the sparring circle, though that was mainly for the wide, level, hard surface, not because anyone was going to fight. Master Simon watched from off to one side as well, sitting in a chair that Tala had called into place for him. She stood, feeling quite a bit nervous as to what the head of the local Archon Council would say. Toward that end, she felt a bit miffed. After all,…

Tala helped Brandon and Adrill to their feet, one with each hand. It was easy enough to allow her iron to actually settle upon her to give her the inertia to help them stand, and she certainly didn’t lack the strength. It was the least she could do. The two men gratefully accepted the help even as they had their heads practically on a swivel, trying to take in as much as they could. She was holding herself tightly emotionally controlled—with Alat’s help. If she panicked, they’d be utterly lost,…

Tala was a bit off for the few days after learning of Mistress Odera’s passing. Her thoughts were often drawn back to Mistress Odera and how much the woman had helped reshape Tala’s own perspective on the world and her place within it. She spent a lot more time with Rane—even more than usual—as they found things to fill her off-hours. They ate fantastic food, watched uncounted clashes from previous wanings, went to plays, sparred, and sometimes just walked through the gardens or the wilderness…

Tala hesitated as the arcane fox-like-man—Lisa—regarded her with greater scrutiny. After a moment, he grunted, “I suppose I should not be surprised that you are aware of the triune state of existence. I He paused for a moment at that. Then, he shrugged and continued, “And the magic of existence…” His smile returned, full of mischief. “And the fact that existence is void and empty at its core.” Tala had never thought of it in those terms, but it fit rather beautifully. As she…

Tala ended up staying in Bandfast for two more full days with Rane. When he had begun trying to fill his day—while she bound Kit—he had gotten a much greater response than he’d expected. When the full extent of his filled social calendar was discussed, Rane said she was fine to head back without him, but Tala found she preferred to stay and tag-along with him for once. It was definitely an odd experience, only knowing most of the people they spent time with in a passing manner. This was their…

Tala was a bit embarrassed. Even though part of it was a misunderstanding, she knew that arguing wouldn’t really change anything. She had been the most advanced Mage involved, after all. Rane actually had his head hanging in shame, his cheeks a flaming red. Master Cazor was silently laughing himself hoarse and hiding it badly. The Refined defender who had been called in response to them blowing through one wall of the combat arena was less than pleased even though most of the issues had been…

START OF BOOK 10 Tala came back to her physical body in a rush, feeling power flooding through her as the cheshire core and Kit finished combining with her bloodstar. She sat in a testing room beneath the Archon Complex of Bandfast, her soul-binding with Kit: Complete. Her magics consumed the spellforms on the floor, causing it to appear as if the precious metals were being drawn inward before vanishing altogether. As the last specs of gold disappeared along with the power contained within, she felt…

Tala laughed maniacally as magics rained down upon her. She stood, arms spread wide as those who feared her, fed her their power. Her aura—empowered by the devourer bound to her will, her soul—splintered any remnant energies before drawing them into her stoneward core of power, while her very being consumed the material parts of any attack. Her starward gate let forth a deluge of her own, pure power. Her deeply established, natural magics pulsed and flared as she methodically targeted each of those…

Tala grumbled as she and Terry waited outside of the testing room while Mistress Elnea and Master Simon performed the first two tests with Kit. They had asked Tala to make a request of Kit, then leave the room so that they could test Kit’s sapience and individual identity. The request? “Kit, do as you wish.” To be fair, Tala had also topped off the pouch, magically speaking, as there was no reason to tempt Kit into devouring things that she shouldn’t, but aside from that, she hadn’t done…
