"Hmm, corrupted exodus sounds like it might be right. They clearly have some kind of power that lets their magic work. I guess I never really thought of it before, but there probably are strange places where magic doesn't work properly." It was an unsettling thought and challenged Sjal's world...

"Ah, that makes sense. Now that I think about it, there's probably a market to be made traveling around and selling rocks for mages to bind to," she mused. Sjal's heart sank when she heard that Aric was married. She would hate for someone's husband or father to never make it home because of...

Summer 81 124 Sjal slept on a bedroll underneath the stary sky. Unbeknownst to her, a beast was lurking in the darkness. It crept over slowly, its four legs barely making a sound as it moved along the edge of the camp. It sniffed the air, detecting delicious food nearby but that could wait...

Sjal focused, taking her time to conserve on aether, then created a portal at the top of the room. She was amazed with Aric's ability to create the fine dust. She would have never thought terra could be so versatile. She did her best not to breathe in to powder and covered her nose with her...

When Caelum's wall had been created, he was somewhat pleased to hear that the creatures down below didn't like what he'd done. "So, they came in through that portal and need it to go home," he thought as he watched the creatures throw themselves against it. At the very least he had ensured that...

Summer 80, 124 Sjal had contracted out to a mercenary group for the time being to give her some company on her journey to Hespaeria. She stood by the road, shooting arrows absent mindedly off to the side to kill some time. She and the mercs she was travelling with stood at a fairly large rock...

Sjal rolled her eyes. Of course there was something more to the room. "We can't even see a door," she said with an exasperated sigh. "So there's no telling where we're even supposed to go! What if the exit is on the ceiling somewhere? What if the hallway was an illusion too and we missed the...

Having finally signed up with the guard force of a city, Sjal was supposed to investigate the different branches to find out which one she wanted to join. She already knew that she wanted to be a guardian so she had been told to meet up with a guardian who would show her the ropes. She had an...

"Thanks… I think," Sjal said as her wounds were healed and her head started to clear. "Fuckin hell," she said to Aric as she walked up towards the door. "We're in a game that doesn't end until the puppet master gets bored. I wonder if she'll even keep her word. For all we know she could keep...

Summer 61, 124 Sjal had made her way to the basin and just like that her trip was over. It was never meant to be a long trip, but now that they'd visited Sjal wanted to make a longer trip next season. It had been an eventful journey filled with bandit encounters but it was nice to finally...

Sjal knew what she'd done was stupid, but in her defense she thought that she was going to die within minutes anyways. She groaned in pain as the unique sensation of being impaled by plants overcame her. She thought this is it as the vines moved through her. Her fever only made the experience...

Summer 60 124 Sjal still hadn't figured out what exactly she wanted to do with the alkahest that she'd acquired to train her ensorcelling a little. Lumina had made some suggestions and she'd even come up with her own ideas, but even as she sat there preparing the dust, she still didn't have a...

The anxiety of being coated by… whatever the fluid actually was, was worse than the immediate symptoms. Sjal had to take a moment to recalibrate and remind herself that she wasn't going to drop dead in the next few minutes. Despite how much she tried, her breathing remained quick and her...
