Year 3, Winter, Third Month, First Week. “Master, I like the challenge, but staying here is a little… Too much.” Oliver struggled to put on a pitiful expression. He had been extremely grateful to be accompanying Karl in this mission, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he learned more on this month than in the past year, being able to monopolize his Master’s attention was a big deal. Karl wanted to laugh at the situation, the boy was only three years younger than him, but he was acting…-

Year 3, Winter, Second Month, Second Week. The snow fell heavily painting everything in white, even so, some strong and obstinate trees, that dared to resist the cold, added some green and brown to the picture. On this beautiful natural scene, three horse-pulled carts, seemingly packed full, defied common sense by traveling at high speed towards the west. Without notice, a shadow jumped through trees and approached the leading cart, matching its speed. “There's a pack of white wolves 400 meters…

Year 3, Winter, Second Month, Second Week. “How are they doing this?” Heidi gulped down another cup of water before answering her irritated brother. “Probably a Spellcaster… I heard rumors they can locate specific elemental crystals, but I can’t imagine how they afforded one. What we pay here is definitely not enough… Either way, you should give up figuring them out, I can’t bear your annoyed expression any longer. I’m rather enjoying here, we never made so much profit, except last…

Year 3, Winter, First Month, Fourth Week. “We should start with the pricing of basic things, like a meal. Then, we could work out the minimum wage needed to have access to basic services and food, and think of higher wages in terms of access too…” The discussion was heading nowhere, so Omero decided to offer a suggestion based on how he knew about the Democracy market. Actually, the dynamic of wages and pricing was much more complex and would change a lot through time, but right now, they needed…

Year 3, Winter, First Month, Fourth Week. “Are you OK Boss?” Keller didn’t look too good. After traveling into the forest for more than two weeks, his body was finally acting on the poisoning effects. Actually, for a Merchant like him, two or three days of exposure would be enough to cause symptoms. However, he had been swallowing down two expensive bottles of detoxifying elixir per day. Unfortunately, there was only so much a three gold potion could do. Instead of answering his subordinate,…

Year 3, Winter, First Month, Third Week. “Hey, old man. Help me take this out of the grilling stone… I still hate Winter, even though we don’t have to face the cold and snow, short days are just annoying… Look at this fine and thick earth steak, I almost over-grilled it because I can barely see it by the firelight… If this keeps happening they might start calling me the tough steak granny, instead of steak granny… Yesterday, I even heard someone saying that I have become too old to cook…”…

Johann now looked more confused. “Do you see this Alchemy mark in the tool? Is the same mark I drew in the tunnel. The connection between Alchemy marks with the same concept is done in another dimension, which neither can be seen nor touched by us, but where spiritual energy can freely move connecting everything and everyone. So it might look far, but their connection is actually strong and close…” “Wow… Does that mean you could send magic anywhere in the world? That can’t be right, can’t…

Year 3, Winter, First Month, Second Week. “Master, are we gonna be OK?” Oliver looked at the group disappearing through the tunnel with a complicated expression, if it was up to him, they would never separate a group that was already this small. However, his Master was clear, they didn’t have time to stop here while the Adventurers’ group might already be waiting for them. Nevertheless, establishing communication with their city was essential, so Karl decided to stay in the tunnel to install…

Year 3, Winter, First Month, Second Week. “Did we lose them?” Karl looked back worried, the light brown horse under him was sweating too much and needed to take a break. To his delight, the answer came not even a minute after the question was asked. “It doesn’t look like they’re moving towards us, the locator indicates they’re moving south…” Diana finally breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn’t have hit further from the truth, having a capable operator in the team was better than…

Year 3, Fall, Third Month, Second Week. “Good morning, Councilors… I would like to take a moment to thank the Origin and all who sacrificed themselves to get us here. It was a long journey but we survived and now we should thrive. This is our home so we don’t need to run anymore, and if one day it’s threatened, we shall be ready to defend it.” The general mood in the Council pavilion was higher than ever. All the Councilors were finally moved to the settlement and they could now carry a…
