"Your highness, dinner is served," said Penny bowing her head. In cue, three maids came with dinner, putting on the table near the sofa, in front of my study table. I was studying the proofs I had against Isabella. I wanted not only the proof to prove my innocence but also some witnesses who could show her real face to the world. Not even Cassius, but Killian also trusted him unconditionally. Truth to be told she had gone to Cassius to negotiate as she had promised Killian. But the way he dragged her…-

After the tyrant rank lizard that had attacked Evelyn and her party had shaken off the stunning effect of Verrader's lighting, it immediately turned around and began fleeing. It was not the type to engage in difficult battles and normally preyed on beasts that were completely unable to oppose it. However, Evelyn's group were fast and difficult targets to hit, a and their teamwork made it impossible for the lizard to actually get a decent attack in. There was also the fact that only the weakest members,…

Taking off from the burrowing owl's home, Evelyn set off with Bylur, Rehni, and the squad of burrowing owls that were accompanying them. They had time to kill and the Velinis desert still had resources that they could use. One of which was a magic crystal deposit that was currently under the control of a pack of brass jackals. "Lady Evelyn we are getting close to their territory." Po, the leader of the burrowing owl squad said to her. "Got it. Then let us fly up higher. We do not want to be…

-0-0-0-0-0- Unnamed Cove, Medea Island, The Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- Haythem stood and stared, stunned, when the group of guilders following The Voice came upon the gathering army in the jungle. There were a dozen different kinds of 'Children' milled about. Each of The Voice's guards proved to be representatives of their species, rather than one-off monsters. He didn't see any like The Voice, but he supposed she was one such one-off monster. Apart from those he'd already seen, there were some…-

-0-0-0-0-0- The Guilded Tavern, The Guild Hall, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- Haythem knocked back another drink, smacking his lips. "Five of these in ten minutes... and I'm still not drunk. Why am I cursed so?" Bertram grunted from his position on the bar, face buried in his crossed arms. The bartender snorted. "You know why. It's your own damn fault. The more powerful you get, the less stuff like poison and alcohol affects you. I've seen stronger Guiders guzzle barrels of mead and barely reach tipsy. It's…

-0-0-0-0-0- The War Room, The Fortified Mansion, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- Kata was one of the five people in the war room to whom the messenger delivered that fateful message. Lord Medean took the scroll from the messenger, swore him to secrecy, and then dismissed him. His eyes scanned the scroll quickly before passing it off to Layla, who passed it to Felin without turning her head. The guilder read the message aloud as Medean sat heavily on his throne-like chair, hands running down his face. Kata…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Skies Above Medea Island, Medea Island, The Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- Despite the genuine danger, Kata couldn't help but laugh as she dodged and weaved past and around bolts of spellfire. The sense of freedom that flight brought; what Wave had shown her... It filled her entire being. Her wings didn't need to flap, as they were more akin to a manifestation of a permanent enchantment, one etched into her very bones. She still needed to twist and move them to turn, though. Thankfully, it took…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island, The Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- With confirmation of the invasion fleet being a day away, I focused my seagull scouts to the east. I'd know they were here first, and it was I made sure my Leviathan and Sea Serpent were hanging around, though I kept the Kraken in reserve, near the island's shores. Soon enough, my Leviathan's time to shine approached. Stretching across the horizon, a fleet of more than a thousand ships emerged. Dozens of different classes and designs…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Scorpan Village, The Ninth Floor, The Dungeon -0-0-0-0-0- Skitters-Across-The-Sand watched the column of Scorpans streaming from the village with a conflicted heart. There were so few of them, to begin with, and the size of their village reflected that. With their first clutches grown and a second well on the way, the King declared that most of the youth would emigrate to the Eleventh. There just wasn't enough space in the village for them all. They weren't like the Drake-kin. They…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island, The Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- After directing Kataren and Huea to head to the Eleventh for more specialized training, I returned to sorting out the Eighth. There were two things I wanted to sort out before I started on the Ninth. Firstly, the bridge. It'd been used to great effect, and when the snowbolds replaced it, they made sure it could be quickly and easily released from either end. Given this is the only way between the first and second peaks that guilders…
