Year 4, Fall, Second Month, First Week. Rachel took the boiling water out of the stove and moved the LQ crystal to deactivate the tool. She carefully poured the hot water into the clay pots before adding the herbs and flowers. In her opinion, the basic tools like the stove were the most useful ones, the minutes she saved every time she had to heat or boil something would add up to many hours in a week, and what was more precious than time? She placed two stuffed breads into the tray and dashed out of…-

Year 4, Summer, Third Month, Third Week. Walking through a city where everybody could recognize her, made Samia feel extremely uncomfortable. Even so, she chose to leave the coat with the concealment effect home, after all, she couldn’t use her mission equipment on private matters. Fortunately, the walk to the newly built Council building only took 15 minutes. Aside from being the biggest construction in the city, the building didn’t have any remarkable features. A neatly dressed boy around her age…

Year 4, Summer, Third Month, First Week. Samia stared at the wooden ceiling, wondering what she should during the day. It was only the second week of the month-long vacation, but she was already out of ideas to pass the time. Last week, she walked through the city and went to all new places that opened, visited her friends and the departments, and even walked along the Path to watch the “scenery”. With nothing left to do besides training and talking with her family, she was missing the missions and…

Year 4, Summer, First Month, First Week. Lew sipped through the cold ale and enjoyed the cooling and numbing sensation. The last two weeks had been really exhausting, ironically he had only unsheathed his sword to train the agents. He never expected that being Head of Defense and commanding the missions at this side of the mountains would be this consuming. He took another sip praying to be spared for an hour at least, but his secretary suddenly appeared from the backroom, crashing all his hopes.…

Year 4, Spring, Third Month, Second Week. Spring was time for all the beasts and plants to become alive and active once again, so it could hardly be described as silent. However, from Samia’s perspective, everything was perfectly silent, not a single sound from the whistling wind or a leave falling to the ground. Initially, she struggled to get used to the unnerving silence, for a week or so, she even had to decrease her speed for fear of missing some beast because she wasn’t hearing their movements.…

Year 4, Spring, Third Month, First Week. The strong smell of burning confirmed that Karl was going in the right direction. The crafting section was surprisingly bigger than he expected, through the tree trunks deposit, the wood processing area, and the polishing site, he walked for almost ten minutes before he left the area. The fact that he was curious about everything and stopped now and then to check didn’t help, the same for the poor marking and separation of the areas, it all looked like a giant…

Year 4, Spring, Second Month, Second Week. “Ernest, are you sure about this? We could just rent one of the simple houses, like most of our friends…” Moira rubbed the child on her belly, who was strangely active, while they walked towards the fifth section. A month after New Year’s, the Council had finally started selling and renting land. Although everyone was anxious about it, it took time for them to get used to newly acquired freedom. Most didn’t change jobs, but quite a few tried to risk…

Year 4, Spring, Second Month, First Week. “Toni, are you sure they would open at this time?” Nemera was impatiently waiting for the store to open, while the nervous defender was confused if they were just hanging out or if this was a date. The pair had just come back from an escorting mission on the other side of the mountains and were given a week of rest before they had to report for duty. The pair of defenders was clearly standing out amongst the crowd of citizens. Although they had time to…

Year 3, Winter, Third Month, Fourth Week. The last week of Winter and the first week of Spring were considered a time for celebration in most countries, at least for those who could afford to celebrate. So, almost everybody traveled back home to enjoy some festivities. Another reason why people would avoid working outside at this time, was that snow would be slowly melting, leaving behind a slippery layer of ice. It was ironic, how the freezing climate was more suitable for activities than the mild…
