Aurivy hummed to herself as she walked through the streets of the meeting room space with Julia, the latter smiling down at her. “What would you like to do next?” She asked curiously. Aurivy thought about it for a moment, looking around. By now, they had played most of Aurivy’s favorite games that she wanted to share with Julia, so she wasn’t entirely sure what to do with the rest of the meeting. As she was debating where to go next, a familiar voice called out to her. “Hey, Aurivy!” When she…-

The four of us spent what felt like most of a day out on the water, relaxing in the boat with our lines cast. Every now and then, one of us would order a drink, which appeared next to us, or our bobber would… well, bob. There were a few moments of excitement when we felt a tug on the line, and we managed to catch a small bucket of fish, which Terra was To my surprise, the fish that we caught seemed fairly normal. No tentacle monsters, human-faced fish, or giant sharks that wanted to devour our boat. In…

Within the performance theater, the atmosphere was lively. Seats were filled with Keepers and companions alike as one performance after another emerged. Some showed movies from their worlds, others sang or danced, and some told stories or jokes. There were even those that performed magical light shows to impress the crowd. Such was the typical method for the theater, and many were just there to have a good time as they waited for the meeting to pass. These were people that were not too desperate for…

Honestly, Lifre hadn’t expected Lena to go for the defensive game. Although the defense ticket was more valuable in the grand scheme of things, she knew that Lena’s skills were more suitable for infiltration and assassination. These two games were already starting to get a fair bit of attention from the other people attending the meeting, whether they were Keepers themselves or invited guests. Lifre honestly couldn’t tell the difference between them. All she knew was that people kept walking onto…

“So, what’s your plan for today?” Terra asked, leaning against my arm as we walked through the streets of the meeting space. “You don’t have any upcoming trades to worry about, and you already have the information that you need.” Ryone was leaning against my other arm, a playful smile on her lips. Of the three, these two were by far the more physical in their affections, so Irena didn’t seem bothered by letting the two of them ‘monopolize’ me like this. I thought about the question for…

Lena closed her eyes, focusing on the new power that the Keeper said that he had bestowed on her. She could feel something akin to a gateway in her mind, and so she concentrated on prying it open. To her dismay, the gate opened slowly, almost theatrically, and it refused to go faster no matter how she urged it. Exactly thirty seconds after she began to focus on the gate, it was fully open, and she felt a new power envelop her body. A power beyond her comprehension, one that seemed like it was far outside…

With Lena keeping an eye on the larger criminal organizations, making sure that none of them tried to do something However, there was one thing left to do before the invasion, and that was the annual meeting. This meeting was going to start in just over an hour, and we would have a week to get as many points or other rewards as we could. Given Lena’s performance since joining Olympus, I believed that she was trustworthy to accompany us to this meeting. But first, I needed to have a talk with her.…

When the twins told me about their discovery related to the Origin of Fate, I was honestly surprised. To be fair, I hadn’t even been fully aware of the limitations of their power. Whenever we needed them to use their abilities, they always seemed to have enough power to do so. From the looks of things, they just tried to use their Origin form as little as possible, so that they didn’t burn through their energy. Given the cost of replicating the Origin’s power with Lena’s ability, it is safe to say…

The Divine Terra gave a firm nod, glancing at the departing Leowynn. There was still one important part of the weapons test that they still needed to complete, and only a few individuals were even aware of what that entailed, even among the Greater Pantheon. It wasn’t that they were purposely trying to hide it, but that it would be more trouble than it was worth to come out and say it. The two quickly left, heading to the sanctuary of the Fallen Terra, a vast meadow with a shimmering, blue sky. It was…

“All personnel, prepare for weapons test.” A voice spoke up over the intercom, the ship’s atmosphere growing tense. Because this was a test run for a new weapon, they were operating on a skeleton crew, just enough to ensure that they would be able to get to their destination, launch the weapon, and then report back. At the bridge of the ship, a halfling sat in the captain’s chair, folding his hands in his lap. There was a solemn expression on his face that formed a stark contrast with how…
