Millions of years ago, Vinestra was roughly five or six thousand kilometers in radius in those days. If you look at the horizontal and vertical lines on the Globe before you, you can see that I have divided the planet into four…
  • by Matthew Thompson DONG DO DONG DO…DONG DO DONG DO Just as Cynrik was thanking Tobs, a multitoned bell echoed throughout the campus, signaling the end of the day’s first period. In response, Professor Morningdale quickly wrapped up explaining how the Chloro Affinity can be used in battle to Gabby and told everyone she would see them again on Wednesday before dismissing the class by stating there were 30 minutes until the bell for 2nd period rang. While the rest of the class quickly got up, stowed any note-taking…
  • by Matthew Thompson ] With total lack of regard, and unnecessary anger, Cynrik lashed out, more so at himself for not noticing he was getting translation errors sooner.

  • by Matthew Thompson A tired and sweaty Professor Morningdale held a shiny golden ore covered with multicolored veins when the light faded. “This, my new students, is the Legendary Orichalcum. The Magical Metal Alloy is known to humanity as the strongest of all ore.” Looking around the room at her students’ stunned expressions and glittering eyes, Professor Morningdale felt a sense of accomplishment. It was a gamble on her part creating the chunk of Orichalcum ore resting in her palm, but one well worth it so long as…
  • by Matthew Thompson “EXCELLENT OBSERVATION MR. RAGNARSSON, 15 Merit Points for your astute findings.” Professor Morningdale stated with an oddly warm, froggy smile. With a wave of her hand, several bolts of pale yellow lightning-shaped into the shape of a wolf, drawing gasps from the students in the class. “As Mr. Ragnarsson just said, there is a distinct difference between the lightning conjured when using the Storm Affinity and the Fire Affinity.” Then, waving her free hand, a single bolt of violent bluish-purple…
  • by Matthew Thompson ] Cynrik replied, shoving Selene, who was in the middle of trying to crawl into his lap, away. Selene gave a small whimper as her eyes held a deep hunger for Cynrik, but every attempt she tried to make, was instantly shut down by the boy. “I think that is enough for Fire and Lightning.” Then, pulling the student’s attention away from the hundreds of thin lightning bolts crackling in the Air, Morningdale flicked her wand again and released the Mana, allowing the particles to calm back down and the…
  • by Matthew Thompson ] Watching the toad woman in pink give a speech, the realization of how bad a situation they had landed in dawned on Cynrik. Ignoring the majority of Professor Morningdale’s longwinded and quite frankly dull speech, where she explained her background as a leading researcher for the government, Cynrik tried to take control of the storm of thoughts and questions rapidly congregating in his mind. ] Cynrik finally concluded. ] Brance said as he half-listened to the speech. ] Even Selene was following the…
  • by Matthew Thompson “COUGH! Let’s head out, guys, enough fooling around, we have a lot of ground to cover to make it to our Homeroom, and the clock is ticking.” As Benny crossed his arms over his chest and heaved a sigh, he looked like Cynrik. He coughed loud enough to get everyone’s attention and herded the couples to their first class, Basic and Practical Affinity Arts, with Professor Tessa Morningdale. Under the pressured guidance of the impatient Benny, the other members of MyrkLys straightened up and headed off…

In contrast to what you would expect from someone starting classes at a new academy, Cynrik had spent the entire night sparring with himself using his newly upgraded Dark Affinity skill, . The Tier-0 skill , which had basically been useless and taking up space in Cynrik’s Affinity Skill list since the day he got it, had finally Evolved into its Tier-2 form and become useful. -Tier-2 Dark Affinity Skill: Shadow Clone- – The twice evolved form of the…
  • by Matthew Thompson With the Turning point quest cleared, Cynrik and the rest of the party spent the remainder of the time before school relatively idle. The most significant thing to happen during that week was the group shipping off their equipment to be resized and customized on top of ordering Selene’s matching gear. However, as the group was packing up their armor and weapons, an exciting topic was brought to Cynrik’s attention. A slight oversight on his part. Everyone was in the process of packing their armor into…
