Sire smirked. “I prefer other elements personally. I’ve always seen fire for stubborn people that want to brute force their way through problems without consideration for the damage they cause. I prefer more subtle ones like Aqua. I may or may not have galdr~ that is something I do not wish to...

Sire didn’t so much as wince when the flames came at him. The barrier sucked up the flames without any issues. “These tantrums must stop. It is fruitless for you to try and above all else it is expensive. You will end up paying for every gram of dust that has gone into handling your temper. At...

“Can’t be bought? My boy, your profession is a mercanry, a hired hand. You are by definition a person who can be bought. If we parted ways today I could manipulate you from the shadows for the rest of your life with enticing jobs. It would be a roundabout way of having you do what I need done...

“I’ve left you alone, yes ~ but I was never truly gone. I have come to check on you. I have scried your face. I can tell you are not going to easily submit. Call it a hunch.” He looked at the finished food. Luke had a large body and so he needed a lot of food. He could have laced it with a drug...

Spring 47, 125 A few days had passed since Sire had left Luke alone in his prison. He wouldn’t have been brought any food or water. There would be no way of telling the passage of time. No natural light or schedule of workers. When the door again an automaton came in with some buckets of...

“Save your insults, boy. Save your energy too. I don’t want to come back and find that you’ve completely drained yourself. You will need your aether and your health if you want to succeed. And yes, it is possible to force an ascension. Your options will be to ascend or die. I would expect...

“Oh my boy. I don’t want anything from you. I want to help you realize your true potential. Once I do that, you will be able to accomplish things that even I cannot. You cannot fathom the power that a paragon wields. It is not befitting to spend the rest of your life doing mundane jobs that I...

"You hate me? I'm insane? My boy, everything you have, everything you are is because of me. Who do you think sent you all those mages to initiate and train you? Your poor mother could never do that. Who do you think kept your fed and housed? Just because you lived away from the kingdom doesn't...

Luke's futile attempts had proven that he was stuck here until someone let him out. The only one with the power to let him escape was the one who walked into the room several hours later. It was none other than Sire Pendragon, his father. He wore a spotless suit and a smile when he saw Luke...

Spring 45, 125 There was darkness and then there was light. Luke awakes in a large stone room lit by luxite orbs that are recessed in the walls and ceiling. There is plenty of light and space. Luke is chained on all limbs but he has enough room to move and take a few steps. There is a circle...

Canonized Comments: Sand sharks are such a scary concept

Canonized Comments: It must be hard being a devorare. Always too cautious to use their powers.

Canonized Comments: Astra seems like an up and coming adventurer

Canonized Comments: What a strange thread. If this sort of thing happens regularly I don't see how all of the spirit cats aren't part of the blight faction due to their curiosity and age.

Canonized Comments: Most of this is inconsequential due to familiar changes. We will err on the safe side and say that Mordva would stay in Aelheim since there would be no reason to send her with a familiar.
