Chapter 22This Place SucksThe mountain range east of Boar Hollow stretched far. It snaked its way through regions, bordering the sea at one point but holding one important facet of Tero’gal. The Throne of the Dreamwalker was the planet’s source of power. It held a combination of energies between...

Chapter 55Tea WorkshopThe area outside of the mine smelter and blacksmith’s workshop was oddly quiet. The grove that Taz had claimed for his own was normally filled with the sound of singing metal, but as Rud emerged from the bushes, he heard only the silence of the forest. It took him a while, bu...

Here's a new thing...
The way I normally write things has a lot to do with letting a manuscript sit around for a year before it sees the light of day. Welcome to a new era. Starting tomorrow, I'll be running a new story. With two other stories running? Yeah, I just can't help myself no matter how hard I try.Syste...

Chapter 10Inside a VolcanoThe first thing Theo remembered after folding the void in on itself was a falling sensation. Then he felt the heat of the volcano. It was intense enough for him to reflexively create a shielding ward around himself, but it did nothing to diminish the fires of the volcano. A...

Chapter 43Artifact ClaimedThe world rumbled beneath the druid’s feet. Fissures split through the icy island, creating massive cracks that spread for feet. The duck in Rud’s hand shifted, rolling this way and that as it changed shape. Before he could even respond, strange metallic objects shot in...

Chapter 40CowsWhile everything going on with the ritual magic was interesting enough, Rud had to turn his attention to caring for the grove for the rest of that day. But as the new day dawned, he gathered before the sacred tree, trying to get her attention. Since the labyrinth had appeared, she had ...

Chapter 7Cast the SpellThe seaside town Balkor wanted to settle in was quaint. Few places on Theo's planet were built up, so all the houses were low and relatively shabby. However, the people there all had smiles on their faces as they went about their business. They waved at the duo as they set...

Chapter 4Math is Useless“I know a space elf that’s gonna be unhappy about this,” Theo said.Instead of teleporting directly back to the mortal plane, Theo brought Tresk to his own planet. They had already said hello to Belgar and settled into a small cafe along the main road. The tea was pretty...

Chapter 37The Wolf and the DwarfDistractions from important projects was a grand tradition in Gladesbale Grove. Rud justified his newest project by claiming he could increase his Animal Communication skill while working on a new plot of land for his tea farm. And why exactly would he need the help o...

Chapter 34Checking the StormProblems appeared in Gladesbale Grove often enough. Rud wasn’t surprised that weird stuff was going on. But to have so many problems cropping up at the same time was indeed strange. His three biggest problems were the labyrinth, twelve cursed objects, and the thing on t...

Chapter 1Unrivaled Tero’gal MasteryThe third floor lab of the Newt and Demon was cluttered with completed potions. Theo hunched over a table, mixing Enchanted Water with Healing Essence before dropping in a fleck of metal. The potion bubbled, performing a near-perfect reaction and resulting in an ...

Chapter 76What Are You?Theo didn't allow the panic to settle in his heart; it did that on its own. He ran forward over the open landscape, doing his best to avoid the monsters while delivering daggers infused with dragon dance when they noticed him. These creatures were far weaker than those he ...

Chapter 31New Shapeshifting FormAs if dealing with the cursed objects and the labyrinth wasn’t enough for Rud, now he had to worry about the frozen island. It was a place he had seen many times from his observation tower, but had paid little attention to. But if it was encroaching across the lake,...

Chapter 28Mysteries UndergroundRud, Major, and Taz couldn't simply teleport to the spot. They had to go there on foot so as not to leave Elm behind. The druid shifted into his flying squirrel form, jumping from tree to tree and following along as the group thundered through the forest. The elf r...

Chapter 73Enchant WeaponsA field of darkness flowed from Theo’s feet, spreading out over the arena as the spell fulminated. Mass Bind rolled over hundreds of the small creatures, shadows latching onto their legs and holding them firmly in place. Elrin was already dashing between them, sweeping his...
