The shield warrior was helping to steady him, and Felix noticed an empty glass vial in her hand. Healing potions? Maybe I can get some refills. "What about you?" The man cracked his neck, small overlapping plates allowing his weird helmet to flex. "I''ll be keeping this one busy." Felix nodded, checking his Mana. He was still over 80%. More than enough, probably. Felix started running toward the giant, moving as fast as he could. The lightly armored young woman was fighting alone at this point, the mage still orienting himself as he passed by at speed. The shield warrior and mage gave him a strange look, but Felix didn''t bother with them yet. "Magda! Let''s do this!" Harn called, apparently to the shield warrior. The giant was fighting in a section of the ruined city that had several remnant walls and columns. The agile fighter was weaving in and out of them, trying to stay one step ahead of the powerful creature. Analyze Health: 344/890 Stamina: 210/488 Mana: 15/75 Felix reached out a hand and formed shadow Mana, Fire Within on blast as he shaped the Mana internally. The twists of Shadow Whip were strange to him, not as complex as Stone Shaping perhaps, but weirder somehow. The Mana pattern felt sticky and pervasive, yet tightly compacted in a way that made him briefly dizzy. Shaking his head, he dropped his attempt and kept it simple. Once he was within range he activated the Skill as normal. Shadow Whip! A tendril of darkness latched outward, tangling up the giant''s legs. It was like a spider web, tacky to the touch and shining dully in the moonlight. The giant, who was running toward the young woman, stumbled and fell to its knees. Shadow Whip is level 12! At the same time, the young woman with black hair flung her chain around a column, tightening it and somehow slingshotting herself around it, throwing her up in to the air above the giant. The chain unraveled, pulling back into her grip as she fell like a rock onto the giant''s back. The chain, which he now noticed was definitely bladed, looped around their head with a quick flick of her arm, and Felix saw her grin. It was a manic, irrepressibly gleeful sort of grin. Then he was at the giant himself, who reared back, suddenly leashed by the small woman on his back and shoulders. Taking the opening, Felix wound up a Corrosive Strike, blasting the Risi Warrior right in the gut. The armor dented and the giant doubled over even as the woman on its back started choking it. The giant slammed it''s hands around, smashing into the ground and throwing Felix off into a wall. The wall cracked and the ice on it sheared off in large sections. Armored Skin is level 15! +1 VIT "Uugh." His Health and Stamina were both down below 60%. Wobbling, he got back up. The chain fighter was hanging off the giant''s back, who was now on its feet and smashing blindly into ruined pillars. Felix ran back in, this time directing dual Acid Streams at the blue skinned warrior. His acid ate into its exposed flesh, burning it with an audible sizzling. "UGH! That smells terrible!" The warrior gagged and did a running leap over a ruined wall, yanked her chains backwards with her. Using the wall as a fulcrum, the giant was leveraged back as it flailed his arms at the chain tightening around its neck. Felix dropped his Acid Stream and darted forward, throwing Corrosive Strikes as fast as he could into the giant''s center mass. After the fifth shot, its breastplate fell apart. It swung at him, but it was simple enough to dodge back, then close again. Three more strikes and he could feel its rips crack After the twelfth shot the giant''s eyes rolled back into its head and it collapsed. Corrosive Strike is level 16! Corrosive Strike is level 17! Corrosive Strike is level 18! Physical Conditioning is level 19! The chains suddenly tightened and cut into the Risi Warrior''s neck, half decapitating the monstrous giant. A Risi Warrior is dead! XP Earned! "Not a fan of that," Felix blanched as he saw clearly into the creature''s ruined neck meat. A leather clad blur flipped up and over the wall, landing in a perfect gymnastic dismount next to him. She turned to him, pulling her hair out of her face. "Hi! I''m Evie!" She beamed, her rounded face appearing younger than he suspected. The girl flicked her forearm and her spiked chain unraveled from the corpse, a second flick wrapped it back around her own arm. She had pale skin, green eyes, and straight black hair that hung from a convoluted braid around the crown of her head. "Who are you?" "Evie! Your help, if you please!" Vessilia''s proper voice shouted out from nearby. Felix looked at Evie and shrugged. "Time to go, I guess." He headed toward the voice. Evie followed after. "It''s just so weird to see someone out here! How long have you been fighting these things?" "Uh," Felix ducked under a low column. "Like a half hour?" "Ahh!" Vessilia landed before them, holding the mage in her arms, who was covered in a layer of frost. The slender mage pushed Vessilia away from him. "Enough! I''m not a child!" "You need to stay back here," Vessilia said, looking back toward the cloud of smoke and debris she had just escaped. She had found a spear somewhere, eight foot long and entirely made of metal. "That leader is extremely powerful. Not even you could take it alone, Ser Nevarre." Felix felt their eyes orient on him, but he was too busy trying to pierce through the smoke cloud. Silvery sparks and flashes of purple white Mana flared and faded, and he could clearly hear the sounds of at least...three people moving and grunting in combat. "Damn this fog! I can barely see my feet, let alone the giants. How many are there?" Atar''s hand lit on fire as he raised it up, as if it was a torch. "It sounds like an army!" Felix looked at him, askance. Fog? He looked around. What fog? "Put that out! You''ll draw their attention!" Evie snapped. "No need to worry about that," Felix said, refocusing on the dust cloud. It was like watching a cartoon fight; he could only occasionally catch glimpses of the white axe or metal bodies. "There''s only one left." He nodded toward the cloud. Do I just...wait here? Those two seem extremely capable. Felix mulled it over and shook his head. There was no point in risking his life here... "How do you know there is only one left?" Evie asked him. Felix started, not realizing she had gotten so close. "Hm? Oh, I don''t see any others? Plus, there was only four on the field when we arrived. Your shield warrior killed one of them, murderb--Harn killed another, and you and I killed the last." "Fah, you fool," scoffed the mage. "Four? There were at least a dozen attacking us! Each of my Sparkbolts found unharmed targets with every cast!" "I''m pretty sure your Sparkbolt wasn''t doing much except annoying them, Sparky," Evie said with a smile. The mage--Sparky? Was that really his name?--scowled. Ah, probably not. "I am the best fire mage in all of Te''thys!" Sparky was apoplectic, a vein in his forehead pulsing against his mussed coif of blond curls. Felix tuned them out as they continued to bicker. He flexed his Manasight, trying to watch the battle and see if he needed to run away or not. Those two seemed powerful, but if they got overwhelmed...no way was he handling an enemy like that alone. Crescents of glowing purple-white light flashed and slashed across his senses, followed quickly by muted yellow orbs of light and silvery shimmers of metal. The attacks and defense and retaliations came thick and fast, with a Skill he likely couldn''t match by a long shot. They must be above Apprentice Tier, right? What¡¯s that called? What kind of bonuses¡ª There was an immense flash of purple white and the dust was blown away. Moments later, an arctic gale roared past them, frost growing in its wake. Felix crouched forward, feeling it sap his strength as he leaned into the subzero wind, barely able to keep his feet. The others weren¡¯t so lucky. ¡°Waagh!¡± Metal clatter behind him and Felix turned to see Evie and Vessilia both falling back. The mage however, still coated in frost, suddenly ignited in a layer of orange flame. As if given new strength, he stood up against the gale and spread his arms wide. An aura of heat bloomed around him, nullifying the chill winds. ¡°You can¡¯t...defeat...Atar V¡¯as!¡± The mage struggled as the winds grew briefly stronger, his flames guttering but still burning. Then just as suddenly as it began, it was over. Felix looked back toward the fight, expecting to see a slain giant, but only saw a metallic shape fast approaching. "Down!" Felix tackled the still burning mage and brought him down to the ground. Just in time; the massive shape of Harn rocketed past, shattering several stone walls as he blasted through. The fire covering the mage burned him mercilessly for only a moment before it extinguished. Fire Resistance is level 14! Felix stood up, pulling the surprisingly thin mage to his feet as well. ¡°You okay, man?¡± The fire mage seemed a little punch drunk, his burning man routine and knockdown taking a lot out of him. ¡°I-I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°We need to get out of here. That thing is too strong,¡± Felix said as the two women stood up as well. Their armor was rimed with frost. ¡°Maggie can handle it,¡± Evie said, her tone confident though her voice still unsteady. That frost had been nasty. Some sort of Stamina sapping Skill? ¡°Is Harn alright?¡± Vessilia asked, steadying herself on her spear. Ice cracked and broke off her pauldrons as she moved. ¡°I cannot see where he landed.¡± Felix glanced back, clearly seeing the armored warrior rising from the rubble a mere sixty feet away. Ice had accumulated on his armor too, much more than a thin layer. Felix looked at Vessilia, who was still squinting in the slightly wrong direction. Can they not see? I thought it was some sort of sight Skill but maybe...maybe something is blocking¡ª ROAR! The sound was deep and sharp, as if a cave had teeth. Felix whipped back toward the fight and saw the shield warrior barely keeping the monstrous leader in check. The giant was easily twice the size of the others, with the Strength that came with it. She used her shields masterfully, somehow deflecting attacks and taking blows that would have reduced his bones to dust. She wasn¡¯t particularly fast, but damn she was precise. And tough. Her Endurance and Vitality must be sky high to tank that kind of assault. I want to help but I¡¯d get creamed if I waded in there... ¡°Hey, punch mage,¡± a gruff voice came from behind. Harn had walked up, ice still falling from his strange armor. He pointed at the fight. ¡°You comin¡¯?¡± ¡°Punch mage?¡± Felix asked. Makes me sound like a concessions magician. ¡°Uh you need my help?¡± The murderbot glared at him, at least it felt like that to Felix. ¡°C¡¯mon. Now.¡± Harn walked past them, thick ice still coating much of his armor. Felix glanced at Vessilia and followed. ¡°Where in Siva¡¯s name did you find him?¡± Evie whispered. Felix didn¡¯t hear the reply, not that he couldn¡¯t. His Perception was high enough that it would have been easy. But it was embarrassing, he found, hearing others talk about him. He walked swiftly away. ¡°How long?¡± ¡°Sorry?¡± Felix asked. ¡°How long have you been fighting out here?¡± Harn kept walking, not even looking at him. ¡°Two weeks or so,¡± Felix estimated. He¡¯d lost time under the mountain, he wasn¡¯t sure how much. ¡°Ever fight something like this?¡± The massive giant jumped onto the shield warrior¡¯s glowing magic shield, causing it to flare with power. The jump actually brought it into Felix¡¯s Analyze range, finally. Name: Unknown Risi Commander Type: Giantfolk Level: 35 HP: ????/???? SP: ????/???? MP: ???/??? Lore: Giantfolk are known for their great strength, boundless stamina, and poor intelligence. But there are always exceptions. The Commanders are uncommonly intelligent and excellent tacticians, in addition to their physical might. Strength: Strength, Endurance Weakness: Unknown ¡°Uh,¡± Felix gulped. ¡°No. Sorta. Does a giant weasel count?¡± Hoarse laughter echoed from Harn¡¯s frog mouthed helmet. "You''ve got more ranged spells than that lightning one?" Lightning? Oh, he means Reign of Vellus. "Yeah, a couple." He nodded, raising his twin axes. When had he gotten those out again? "I''ll go in here, cover my approach." "Wait, how--" Harn took off, kicking the ground and launching himself forward. He''s pretty fast. Was it his Strength or Agility that did that? Felix mused, but as the armored man approached, the Risi Commander spun away from its assault. It swung it''s massive ice axe as it did and a sudden flurry of icicles filled the sky, launching in the path of its strike. Reign of Vellus! Felix had no intention of moving all of those icicles, some of which were the size of his entire body. Instead, he altered the pattern of the spell and focused on the narrow corridor containing Harn and himself. A spike of pain lanced across his head as azure lightning sparked and jumped between frosty spears as several dozen were acted on all at once. Felix strained, sweat beading on his brow, the icicles speeding toward Harn first and Felix second. "YRRRRAAGH!" Felix screamed, blood pouring down his nose as his Mana drained. A storm of lightning erupted all around him, and the icicles shifted slightly to either side of both Harn and himself. Icy spears struck the ground all around him like bullets. Their impact shook the earth, splintering the stone itself and cleaving into the ruins all around him. Fire Within is level 27! Reign of Vellus is level 26! "Gah!" Felix panted, gulping big breaths as a headache mounted behind his eyes. That one had drained him. His Mana was down to less than 30%, but if he used it properly it''d be enough. He hoped. Meanwhile, Harn kept running. The metal bastard never stopped, turned out. Whether that was because he had faith in himself or Felix was uncertain, though Felix was sure it was the former. The axe warrior kept leaping powerfully forward, the earth splintering beneath his feet, his body low and weapons extended to either side. The shield warrior, Magda, suddenly dropped the yellow-colored magic shield she had been maintaining all this time and rushed forward. Somehow, Felix couldn''t tell how exactly, Magda shield bashed the Risi Commander from a dozen feet away, throwing the massive blue bastard onto its backfoot. Harn kept running, drawing closer and closer. The giant wasn''t a fool, though; with a roar it slammed it''s immense ice axe down into the ground and a twenty foot wall of ice spikes erupted from the pitted causeway. It instantly cut Harn off from the battle between Magda and the Commander. Felix could hear the sound of repeated impact from the other side. Shit. Can that lady survive long enough for Harn to get over this wall? The warrior had started violently attacking the wall with his axes, but aside from a slew of ice chips, the wall seemed unharmed. Can''t lift him, but maybe... Stone Shaping! Altering his Mana flow in the pattern he''d previously discovered, Felix was able to keep the spell more efficient. But he needed speed too; so Felix dumped nearly 100 Mana into the spell and pushed. From beneath a startled Harn, a rounded stone ramp exploded forward at an angle, shearing through the top portion of the ice wall. Harn rode atop it, wobbling as he kept his balance, but by the time it stopped growing he was already running up its length. At the top, he vaulted over the last ice spikes and landed somewhere beyond the wall with a deafening BOOM. Felix ran forward, unable to see any of the action. As amazing as spellcasting was, he couldn''t do anything if he couldn''t see anything. He awkwardly navigated up the rough stone ramp, stopping just shy of tumbling off the edge. Beyond he could see the massive giant, currently in a fierce altercation with Magda and Harn. In fact, Harn was trading serious blows with the Risi Commander, coming away from them the worse for wear. "Step back!" Magda shouted, throwing several fist sized stones at the giant. They each exploded on contact, sending a sharp rain of shrapnel in all directions. Harn and Magda covered their faces and the giant commander flinched back, but then it returned to swinging its axe. Felix had an idea. He waved frantically at the shield warrior until she looked up at him. She seemed surprised to see someone else there at all. Felix exaggeratedly pantomimed looking at the ground beneath her. She glanced down, and Felix began to cast. All around Magda, the ground erupted into irregularly shaped columns, each four to five feet tall and six inches in diameter at least. Shaping the stone at such a distance was painful, and it ate away at the majority of his Mana pool, leaving him with barely 5%. Felix''s nose started bleeding again, the coppery taste creeping into his mouth. He gave a tired thumbs up to the shield warrior, and sat down. Stone Shaping is level 24! Magda hesitated a moment, before snapping off the nearest column and throwing it, javelin style, straight at the giant. "Stone Break!" The five foot stone exploded, littering the Risi Commander''s back with lacerations. It snarled in pain, half turning from Harn who was assaulting it form the front. That was a mistake. The heavily armored warrior exploded with ferocity, swinging his axes like a machine of death, drawing gouts of thick blue blood with each strike. "RAAAAAAARGH! AKTA RA FOLUU!" The Risi screamed, its white beard dyed blue as it literally spat blood. Harn roared back, spinning like a whirling dervish, driving the giant backwards even as two more stone spears exploded at its back. The giant threw itself into a forward roll, smashing violently against the earth and nearly pancaking Harn. It recovered, spinning on the two warriors and brandishing it''s immense greataxe. "Korta jav riktanu, tor atta!" The Risi Commander growled, its voice so deep Felix could feel it in his chest. A haze of purple white began to gather on the icy greataxe it wielded, congealing around it like stormclouds of Mana. Felix glanced at the others but they only stared down their opponent, using the moment to rest. "Hey Harn," Magda spoke as she rolled her shoulders. "Yeah, Maggie?" "Do you speak asshole?" She asked. The Risi snarled, hands tightening on the shaft of its weapon with an audible creak. "No, can''t say that I do," Harn replied lazily. Magda grinned, her teeth very white and perfectly straight. "Good. I''d hate for anyone to say we didn''t try." The two of them advanced as one, rushing across the cracked causeway.

Felix sent the image of him hold up his hand and nodding and then of Pit running out toward the giants. He pushed it, the sensation becoming a little easier than before. Pit nodded his head three times, clearly excited. Dumb bird, he smiled. The tenku had been beside himself when Felix tried explaining what he was doing. It had startled him when Pit sent images back toward Felix, blurry edged impressions of a winged creature flying around giant blue collections of smells. It was both visual and olfactory, though the smells were more potent. The blue lumps smelled of cold metal and ice and a weird sort of musk. It was easy enough to figure out what Pit was suggesting, and Felix honestly had no reason to say no. He needed the help. Just be careful, buddy, he sent worriedly as the tenku padded forward, activating Skulk and sticking to the shadows. Ahead of them, four Risi Warriors rooted around several of the ruined structures. Eight or nine feet tall, they easily filled up the first floor sections of the buildings, often having to fold double to get in and out of doorways. They weren''t gentle, nor were they quiet; they stomped about, yelling and smashing into archways, ripping up the various plant-life that filled the city''s skeletal remains. Small patches of ice spread out as they roamed, almost as if they passively generated it, though it was far less than in other portions of the city. Felix held still, eyeing his target. The underground room was two hundred feet away, nearly a third of the block, and the Risi were all nearby. The basement stairs were faced away from him, luckily, so he only had to drop down into the stairwell and muscle open the door. After crossing the street, navigating several questionable ruins, and sprinting the last stretch out in the wide open. Hoo boy. Sure, Magda. I got this. No problem. Pit crept closer, now lost even to Felix''s eyes. Somewhere along the way, the tenku had dipped into a building; Felix could only feel his general direction through their pact. Pit''s Skulk is level 24! Felix shifted, pressing his feet against the ground like a runner at the starting blocks. Except the ground felt...soft. He flexed his feet and felt the cobbles loosen beneath him slightly, wobbling and making a loud clack sound. Felix froze, barely moving his eyes to see if the giants had heard him. Their grunts and shouts continued, unabated. Breathing a silent sigh of relief, Felix activated Stealth and made himself ready, careful this time not to press too hard against the road. Then he saw it, Pit''s bushy tail waiving from a second story window three houses down from the Risi Warriors. Two golden eyes, mere specks at this distance, looked at Felix expectantly. Ok, he held up his hand and nodded. Now! Felix took off, trusting his Companion to follow their loose plan. He crossed the road at speed, the sound of his feet against the cobbles lost amidst the abrupt explosion of squawks and roars down the street. Felix made it to a small patch of shadows before leaping forward through the window of another dilapidated structure, racing within a darkened area filled with soft moss and a couple pale patches of fungus. Pit''s Rake is level 19! Pit''s Bite is level 17! He''s getting a workout. Felix came to a low window near the end of the first building, one with just enough of an angle to see his Companion jumping off of a Risi warrior''s chest before darting away. Now let them chase. Just be safe. Felix couldn''t help but keep his mind on his friend, even as he hopped over another sill and into an adjoining alley. He was moving as fast as he could, ducking between shadows to try and stay hidden, but the last stretch was ahead. Nearly fifty feet of wide open road, bright sunshine pouring from the clear blue skies as midday moved onward. But it''s not bright out, is it? Felix reminded himself. Flaring his Manasight, he let his focus drift as he, paradoxically, zeroed in on the faint haze he saw. This time he felt a sharp jab of pain behind his eyes, and saw his Mana bar drop down 20% as the world was engulfed in thick, rolling fog. It poured out of buildings and down the streets like a living thing, vapor practically on the cusp of being water again. A soupy haze occluded his vision, one that even his high Perception could not see past. Beyond fifty-sixty feet, the street appeared empty; the only indication of anyone was the continued roar and crash of the giants chasing Pit, and the tenku was a street behind him, Felix could feel. I got this. Felix took a careful step forward, then another, and another. He hugged the wall, sticking close to the edges just in case. He was more than halfway to the stairwell when the building in front of him toppled to the ground. Pit''s Cry is level 20! It was an absolute cacophony, dust and debris from shattering stone and snapped trees; all of it pouring only feet before him. But what was worse was that in the midst of all that, two giants stumbled out of the collapse, blue hands waving away thick plumes of dust and hobnailed boots crushing the remains of trees. They roared and called out, grunting something he couldn''t understand back in the direction they had fallen. Shit shit shit shit shit! Felix dropped low, holding his breath and flaring Stealth as much as he possibly could. He kept his Manasight going, willing himself to continue to perceive the fog. He had to trust the illusion to cover him, or else this whole thing was blown. Breath Control is level 17! The Risi paid Felix zero attention and instead were immediately focused on finding something missing in the mess. The two eight foot creatures rooted around in the pile of debris, grunting and pushing stone aside as they got increasingly angry with one another. A cry came from the other street, a roaring that rose in pitch, as if in question. "Rak talla! Watta kel no!" One of the giants screamed in answer, still digging furiously. They don''t know I''m here. Felix closed his eyes briefly in relief, before padding forward as slowly and quietly as possible. In order to pass by the Risi, Felix had to make a wide curve around both them and the collapsed debris. The swirl of fog was all that was between the giants and his discovery, a barely there, illusory curtain of vapor. Step by step, tortuously slow, and all the while he felt a thrilled exuberance in his chest, a sentiment echoed by his Companion as he ran wild and free among the streets. Felix wasn''t quite sure which was him and which was the tenku, but his heart was racing and adrenaline made his limbs shaky with energy. Step. Step. Step. Felix was only ten feet away, a simple jump down into the stairwell and through the door. He was gonna make it. He just had to figure out how to-- "Lalla! Watta lakka!" The Risi''s jubilant cry was followed by a creaking groan. Dropping his Manasight, Felix''s vision cleared in time to see a looming, two story pillar the approximate diameter of a redwood tilt and crack as one of the giants pulled its massive metal club out from beneath it. With a single, powerful tug the club came loose, and the giant crowed in success. "Lalla!" Then the pillar started to tilt. NOnonono! Felix dove forward, stone breaking under his feet as he launched himself over and down into the stairwell. He hit the iron door hard, denting it as he rebounded. Without pausing, Felix pushed his hands forward and swept them apart, flaring the only Skill he could envision at that moment. Stone Shaping! Earthen Mana flexed and dissipated against the door. The metal didn''t respond in the slightest. GAH! Rock sheared above him, the pillar crumbling under its own weight as it lost its long fight against gravity. A spray of pressurized marble geysered into the stairwell. Felix nearly slapped his head as he remembered. It''s a pull door! Stone Shaping! The smallest of gaps appeared on the edge of the door. Enough for a hand. Felix grabbed it and yanked with all he had, the door groaning in protest before popping open. The pillar broke apart above him, sections of the ancient stone tumbling down like massive millstones and burying the entrance. Felix was alive. He unclasped his arms from his head and risked a glance backward. It was totally dark, the collapse blocking out even the slight light from the door frame. With a minor effort, Manasight activated and the room became a series of vibrant colors. He had rolled ten or so feet into the room, but large, chunky rubble had scattered everywhere, rolling uncomfortably close to him. Felix stood up, quickly orienting himself in the small space. A wash of dark blue water Mana was coming from several spots along the walls, and though one of the was uncomfortably close to the blocked in door, it seemed fine. There, the packs. He could see all five of them, left around the area. Though it looked like Magda''s had been mostly crushed by debris. Felix winced. Probably nothing too important. Felix went about gathering all of the packs, which were roughly shaped like a backpack he was familiar with, just without any cinches and made entirely out of some soft leather. Name: Avum Skin Rucksack Type: Container Lore: It''s a bag made out of a large avian. Holds items, usually. Avum, huh? Like a big ostrich? His eyes lit up. Like a chocob-- A sound distracted him. A..crinkling. Felix looked all over, but it stopped after a moment. He shrugged and moved on. He grabbed Harn''s, which was the largest of all the packs, and started dumping the smaller ones in. No way was he carrying all five--er, four of the packs. It just wasn''t physically possible. Harn''s bag was pretty dang big, but eventually it reached capacity. Felix took a bit of the overflow items and put them in his own satchel, mostly consisting of extra food, water, and even another case of empty vials. The vials would come in handy for future blood collection. Felix paused, grimacing. What a gross thing to have become my new normal. A few more items had fallen out of the larger bag when it had overflowed, but it was mostly bric a brac that seemed either useless (a hair comb) or unnecessary (a bottle of oil with a painting of a...sensual-looking dragon on it). Frankly, the last one worried him, more than anything. While he was picking through the remains, he came close to where Magda''s rucksack had been buried. Only a small corner of the pack protruded from the large stones, and it had split from the pressure. Dangling out from that corner was a gold-colored necklace. Felix reached down and picked it up. Name: Twin-Touched Locket Type: Enchanted Accessory Lore: Used by many to keep images of their loved ones close. Always paired. The locket itself was on a thin chain, shaped like a triangle and covered in small engravings. Felix had no clue if they meant anything, but they were probably magic of some sort. Analyze said they were enchanted. What kind of magic is that, I wonder? Unable to restrain his curiosity, Felix clicked the catch, letting the locket pop open. When nothing happened, he turned it over and looked inside. Within there was a small, exquisitely detailed painting of a woman with blond hair and fierce eyes. A woman that looked extremely familiar. For a moment Felix couldn''t figure out why, his mind grasping at the vague impression like anyone would. But then, it came to him. At the giant encampment. When the leader was speaking on the ice. The prisoners. This is her, he realized. This is their friend. Maybe more than friend. This same blond woman was among them, one of the few still in some sort of armor. One of the few who still looked defiant. She was alive. He quickly put the locket in his satchel and moved to the edge of the room to gather up the wardstones. There were seven of them, and he went to the nearest one. The problem, however, was that the wardstones were still active. Do I just...turn it off? He thought back to what Magda did with them. He had watched, but he hadn''t watched, really. She had whispered something, likely some sort of incantation to activate them, but he hadn''t heard her clearly. Reliving the memory wasn''t very useful if he didn''t see anything in the first place. Felix put his hand on one of them, feeling the current of water Mana pulsing within. It swirled, currents hidden in its darkness. It was as if it contained an entire lake within it''s incredibly dense depths. He felt a shiver run through him, a sense of cold washing over him. Doubling down, Felix peered into it with his Manavision, but it was a solid ball of water Mana, indistinguishable from a giant marble. Scratching his head, he picked it up. Immediately the orb stopped glowing and the strangest sound filled the small cellar. It was that crinkling again, as if impossibly small, atonal chimes were being tapped, over and over. But this time, it didn''t stop. Felix pivoted, staring up at where the sound was coming from...and saw frost beginning to cover the entire ceiling. "Oh fuck." The ice snaked across the roots of the trees above, the purple-white glow of ice Mana slowly encompassing and engulfing the life Mana. A muted scratching sound came from beyond the ice, and Felix felt his stomach drop as he realized what it meant. They''re digging. He had to get out. Quickly, Felix ran around the room and collected the seven wardstones, shoving all of them into his satchel. Squatting next to the overfilled rucksack, he slipped his arms into the straps and stood up. It was extremely, annoyingly heavy. It made him feel top heavy and pulled him backward slightly. Regardless, he made his was over to the edge, watching the ceiling the entire time. Bits of dirt had started to rain down from the root system, sprinkling across the floor. Felix raised his hands and started channeling Stone Shaping. C''mon, c''mon. Let''s see if I can dig out before they dig in. His Mana coiled and looped through his pathways while Felix focused on keeping the spell efficient; he couldn''t risk running out of Mana in the middle of his tunnel. The stone wall melted before him, becoming that sludge-like consistency with which he was familiar, and Felix hurriedly stepped through. The stone parted around him, shifting and flowing behind him as before to create a tunnel without digging. As the stone re-solidified behind him, Felix could no longer hear the encroaching ice and imminent arrival of his enemies, and his heart unclenched. A minute later, panting and sweating from the effort, Felix emerged onto the street. The cobbles shifted before him, and he stumbled woozily onward. Despite utilizing his Fire Within, his Stone Shaping spell was still very Mana intensive over extended periods. But just as he was catching his breath, a shadow loomed over his shoulder and a chill wind huffed across his neck with a rumbling growl. "Shit," he said, heart thundering. Two more shadows joined the first. Magda rubbed her temples again, though it did her no good. She didn''t really have a headache. Once you''ve Tempered your Body at least once, normal physical ailments dropped to pretty much zero. That didn''t stop the habit though, or the certainty that her head was going to explode from the stress. But mostly, she did it so she didn''t have to look at her sister. <> Evie was needling her with questions, and especially that one, ever since that boy had left to get her wardstones. She was using handspeak, which made it easier to ignore her, but somehow her little sister made even a silent language annoying. <> Magda signaled back, punctuating the line by putting her half helm back onto her head. Again, she avoided her sisters gaze, staring out into the swirling fog instead. As much as Magda was disappointed that Evie didn''t stay holed up and safe during their scouting, she was more disappointed in herself. Magda didn''t have the mind for all of this skullduggery...it went against her nature and chafed her every sensibility. If it weren''t for Callie, she.... Please trust me, she silently pled. Just a little longer. ROOOOOAAR AWOOOOOOO! The world was suddenly awash in screams and calls of both the giants and their Hoarhound pets. Magde spun toward Harn, who already had his axes out and was facing the way the boy had left. Moments later, the sound of boots on stone filled their ears, quickly followed by the young man looking worried and carrying Harn''s amusingly large rucksack. "We gotta go!" Felix skidded to a stop, eagerly handing the pack to Harn, who shouldered it without an issue. The kid glanced sourly at her partner for a second before turning back to the rest of them. "I got mostly everything. Where''s Pit?" The Tin Ranks all looked at each other, shrugging. Magda also shook her head. Maybe the thing sacrificed itself to distract the giants? She mentally shrugged. At least it was useful. But Felix didn''t look worried, just confused. Then he swung around, looking up at the wall they sheltered behind. "We need to run. We need to run NOW!" Without waiting, he took his own advice. Magda stared after him, but soon heard a warbling cry as a dark shadow zipped above her head, passing directly through the window of the wall behind them. The creature had four glowing eyes and dark wings that looked like fanged claws, and it sailed gracelessly down onto the ground, where it landed heavily and kept running. Harn turned, eyes wide. "You heard the kid! Run!" The Tin Ranks took off, Magda right behind them as the stone wall simply exploded into ricocheting rubble. Three Hoarhounds and a single, bleeding giant charged through the wreckage, their bodies simply bashing through it all. Magda ran. Chapter Thirty Nine – 039 They skidded to a stop along a paved hillock, the buildings around them a bit more worn down by the wind. All of them were breathing hard, even Felix, though Harn and Magda seemed fresh enough. After a few dicey interchanges they hadn''t heard the sound of pursuit for a few minutes now, and Felix was starting to hope they''d lost them. They took quick shelter in shadows cast by a jumble of fallen porticoes. "We can''t stop, those hounds have our scent." Harn hitched the giant rucksack further up his back and moved to get a clear view ahead. "Wait...w-wait..." Atar huffed, olive skin slick with sweat and his normally carefully done hair in disarray. "I can''t go much longer." "We stop at this point and it won''t be one pack that surrounds us. It''ll be dozens. Hoarhounds are a menace for a reason, Sparky." Harn started walking. "You need...to focus...on your Endurance more," gulped Evie, resting against her knees. "Or get that...Running Skill up higher." "Shut...up...flippy...ass." Pit pushed against Felix''s legs, also eager to move onward despite his heaving sides and panting tongue. After sneaking into the cellar, tunneling out, and running away from the Hoarhounds Felix was feeling it too, but he had to trust Harn''s judgement. The man was no-nonsense and frighteningly capable. Harn pointed off in the distance, where Felix could see a handful of looming stone towers, some of the highest buildings he had seen so far. Apparently they were so big the others could see them even through the haze. "We go there. Gain the high ground and watch out for ice patches." He started off. With a groan, everyone followed. Going downhill was easier, but it looked like a mile at least until the towers. Harn in the front and Magda in the back kept every on pace, and it wasn''t one meant to coddle them. To keep his mind off his body, Felix toggled his dismissed notifications. Pit''s Frost Spear is level 2! Pit''s Wingblade is level 6! Nice to see Pit moving along. He glanced down at his friend who was keeping pace at his side. The tenku''s wings were tucked tight to his body, perhaps to decrease wind resistance as they were getting quite big. He shook his head, wiping sweat that poured from his forehead. Despite Felix''s high Endurance and Running Skill, this constant pace was getting to him. The Running Skill decreased the usage of his Stamina during the activity, but it didn''t do anything yet for the build up of soreness and fatigue he felt damn near everywhere. Idly, Felix wondered what Apprentice Tier would make of the Running Skill; he had 7 more Skill Levels before he found out. AWWOOOOOO! "Shit," Magda swore. Felix turned slightly to see her behind him; she was looking off to the right and Felix followed her gaze. Beyond a tangle of cored-out-but-still-standing homes, he could see the flash of blue-white fur. "It sounds like there''s at least five now." Felix tried counting as he ran, not quite able to; instead he took a mental picture and checked it over. He counted at least ten. "More than that," he panted. "At least double." Magda shot him a look, but quickly glanced away. "Harn we gotta get outta here!" "I know!" Harn hollered back, no longer worried about silence. "Here!" All of them took a tight turn into a fire-gutted shopfront. Felix wouldn''t have guessed it was a shopfront, but his Analyze hadn''t been wrong yet. Name: Ruined Commercial Structure Type: Structure Lore: Anything could have been sold in such a place before whatever calamity befell this place occurred. The inside has been almost utterly destroyed by a recent fire. Calamity? What did happen to this place? Felix wasn''t allowed much time to muse. The sound of paws and claws came closer and closer, and the seven of them hustled up a set of stairs in the back of the shop. Ash and charred wood stirred and cracked beneath them, a number of small saplings having been torched to charcoal. The stairs were stone, thankfully, but they creaked ominously beneath their hurried feet. Once up top, they heard barking that sounded much closer. The hounds were coming, fast. "Come," whispered Harn, gesturing toward an open window much like the rest, glass and shutters all long gone. It faced onto a flat roof leading toward another building, this one with three levels above the shop''s second floor. "Climb out onto the roof. Evie, you first." The Tin Ranks and Felix did so quickly, filing out the window as quietly as they could, while Harn and Magda hung back. Soon they were all on the flat roof, and Harn made a series of gestures at Evie who nodded and then ran toward the edge. There was a small alley separating the shop from the five story ruin next to it, but it wasn''t any more than five feet; an easy jump for any of them. Evie sailed over the gap, slipping through a gaping hole in the wall before coming neatly to her feet. Vessilia went next, followed by Felix and Pit. Atar, still visibly winded, made his best effort at the jump but fell short. Felix barely had time to react, but needn''t have bothered. At the last second the mage threw his arm forward and a small metal rod expanded and pierced the stone. DANG! The sound was like a gunshot in the air. Magda and Harn went stock still, and Felix reached down and yanked the mage up by the front of his robes. Just in time, as they all heard loud sniffing abruptly coming from below. Felix was locked in a crouch, his arms holding Atar so close that he could smell the floral fragrance he was wearing. Guh, that''s cloying. Probably better than I smell though. Haven''t had a bath in...four, five days? Suddenly Felix felt bad for holding Atar so close. He was probably rank. Ice started creeping up the side of both of their buildings, and Harn began making wide sweeping gestures in their direction. Unable to understand, Felix looked to the ladies. Both Evie and Vessilia watched Harn a moment longer before nodding and padding quietly toward the stairs leading up. Felix helped the mage to his feet and disengaged, careful to not rustle their clothes or kick any loose stones. Atar followed after, his face pale and bloodless, still holding the strange expanding rod in his left hand. The rod was maybe the width of Felix''s thumb, but was easily six feet long and tapered to a point on one end. Had he had it this whole time? They picked their way up the stairs. Everything was coated in a fine gritty dust, as if, in the absence of wind and rain, the stone had been reduced to powder by the weight of time itself. Felix was still amazed at how may of these places were still standing at all, considering that the were easily hundreds of years old. If not more, considering magic. As they neared the fifth and final floor, Felix heard the sound of metal crashing and sudden howling in the near distance. Too far away to be an immediate threat, but too close to not be important. He strained his senses, but his Perception picked up nothing else. The others didn''t stop, though, so Felix kept on. Shortly after that, they made the roof. "What are we doing?" Felix whispered. The others turned to him, finger on their lips. Vessilia made a couple of complicated hand signs, but when Felix''s blank stare registered she tilted her head in confusion. Instead, she silently waved him to come with her. All of them moved to the center of the roof, as far away from any edges, and she made four signs toward Atar. With a roll of his eyes and almost pained grunt, his hands flashed with bright yellow Mana that swelled and covered the five of them. Sound ward in place, Vessilia spoke up. "You cannot read handsign?" Vessilia asked. "No, definitely not," Felix said, shrugging. "I''ve just been following you guys and working off context clues." "Huh. Well, Harn had us head to the roof. Said he and Maggie would join us soon," Evie clenched her jaw, clearly upset. Vessilia put her hand on her friend''s shoulder. "They''ll be fine." Evie nodded, jaw still tight. Felix cleared his throat, a little uncomfortable. "So do we continue onward?" He nodded toward the towers Harn had in mind. They were a little less than a quarter mile away, if he was judging the distance right. "We should be able to do it if we stick to the roofs." Evie grunted softly. "Yeah. That''s the plan. We go ahead, get to the nearest tower and get in." Felix made an impressed face. "That''s a lot to say in a few gestures." "Handsign is pretty compact," agreed Vessilia. "I can..uh, I can teach it to you sometime, if you would like." "Oh sure. That''d be fantastic," Felix said, already thinking about how easy languages might prove with perfect memory. "Ok, then let''s get moving." With a gasp, Atar released the silencing spell and Felix watched the colorful Mana vapor dissipate into the air. He turned and saw the mage regarding him with his usual annoyed expression. "What are you doing?" Atar''s expression fairly screamed. Felix only replied by putting a finger to his lips and making a series of complicated nonsense gestures. Then he walked away. Magda huddled close to the edge, watching the Hoarhounds prowl the streets below. There were at least fifteen of them now, all spread around the area as they hunted for their group. Harn caught her eye. <> <> Harn hesitated, his face hidden but Magda knew he had an expression of extreme concentration. Harn''s hands flashed. <> Madga nodded. The fighter''s Brawler''s Physique Skill granted him some distinct advantages, and his Body Tempering had enhanced his senses well beyond what Magda could perceive. But even his powerful senses were defeated by the distorting veil of the Foglands'' magic. <> <> They both knew that meant little. Magda was tempted to believe the boy had lied, but that knife was impossible to fake. Giving herself a little shake, she focused on the problems she could solve. <> The Tin Ranks would have gotten far enough by then. Time to do their part. The day wore on as Felix and the others navigated across over thirteen rooftops and passed-through structures barely strong enough to hold them. While it astounded Felix that much of this was still standing, it still meant that nearly everything was on the brink of collapse. Most of the time, it seemed hope and probably magic was all that kept the worst of them together. Regardless, they had made it. "So this is it, huh?" Felix stared upward at the tower, an impressive construction that rose at least fifteen stories and was utterly covered in complicated statuary. A number of flying buttresses supported the lower levels of the tower, adding width to the base of the building. Felix eyeballed the distance between their three story ruin and the nearest bit of the tower, estimating perhaps twenty feet or so separated them. Whoever had once inhabited these structures had obviously been important, too much of a big shot to be rubbing shoulders with common folk. "Think we can make it?" he whispered. Atar scoffed, but Vessilia simply smiled, her teeth bright and perfectly straight. Felix felt his pulse pick up as his thoughts turned. How do they have such nice teeth? Do dentists exist here? Vessilia backed up without a word, then took a running leap off of the edge. WHOA! With a powerful rush of air, the spearwoman leaped nearly twenty-five feet, easily clearing the distance and landing amid the crowded statues. Felix gaped. "Dragoons, ya know?" Evie remarked, pushing up his hanging jaw. "Me next." "Wait," Felix said, riffling through his satchel until he pulled out his brightweave coil. He unraveled it and handed Evie an end. "Here, take this." "Sure," Evie shrugged, smiling herself. "Always happy to help the less capable." She held onto one end of the rope with one arm as she unwound her spiked chain with the other. After taking a run up herself, Evie threw her chain out, the end of it moving faster than Felix could track. With a metallic clank, the links struck and wrapped around a weather-worn oblong statue. A simple tug, and somehow Evie sailed through the air, propelled by some force directly onto a ledge above. "How did she...?" "She''s cheating, sort of," whispered Atar. He had long ago collapsed his metal rod and was looking after Evie with something close to envy. "Her Born Trait has to do with altering the weight of herself and her chain." That''s seriously cool. "Do you mind if I...?" Atar gestured to the rope in Felix''s hands. "Oh! Sure, yeah, not a problem. You go first." Felix handed the brightweave coil to the mage, looking up to see that Evie had tied it off around another statue. It was elevated now, the rope reaching back at an angle to their roof. "It''s an enchanted rope, so you--" The coil suddenly knotted every five feet or so, creating an easily climbable surface. Atar''s hands flared with orange Mana as he fed power into the rope. "Oh yeah. Of course you know to use it." With Felix steadying the rope from behind, Atar was able to cross the distance relatively easily. While the mage might have low values in most physical stats, he apparently had more than enough to climb the rope. Pit glided across the distance, jumping first to gain some more height, and climbing up the outside of the tower until he reached the Tin Ranks'' level. Last to go, Felix gripped the rope and sent a pulse of Mana through it. The rope began to coil up, and once the slack was gone, Felix took a breath and jumped off the side of the building. Swinging, Felix fairly flew toward the lower tower walls, and braced himself to hit. With a thump he landed feet first against the tower wall, low enough that he was below any statuary. The magically coiling rope yanked him up the wall, like a slow moving grappling gun. Unwilling to just hang and wait, Felix complemented the magic rope by climbing with his free hand and legs the rest of the way. Sadly, his Free Climbing didn''t bump up at all. Felix retrieved his coil, directed it to unknot and loop around his shoulder, and climbed the last few feet up into what appeared to be the fourth floor window. It was dark in here, the afternoon sunlight fighting to penetrate much farther than a few feet, though Felix could make out a large room supported by several round columns. The others were waiting around, though Atar and Vessilia were busy inspecting the far wall, eyes bright in the darkness. "Took ya long enough," Evie jibed, her voice still not much more than a whisper. Felix grinned and dusted his hands. "Not all of us have magic weight powers to give us a boost," he joked. Evie grinned even wider, green eyes flashing. Then she looked down. At Pit, who was on his haunches at Felix''s feet. Felix read the nervousness in her body language. He wondered what freaked them out so much about Pit. Was it just that chimeras usually attack them, like they said? Felix reached down and skritched the tenku''s neck, causing his back leg to twitch uncontrollably. "Don''t worry. He''s a good boy." Evie''s eyes flashed back up to his, then looked away. He wasn''t sure if she was embarrassed or what, but she quickly diverted her attention. "Hey you! Quit gawking at rocks and let''s get going!" "There are murals here. They are exquisitely detailed!" Vessilia''s smile was wide as she turned back to them. "They''ve hardly been weathered at all!" Intrigued, Felix made his way over despite Evie''s groan. Vessilia excitedly gestured at the walls where Atar was busy fixedly staring. In keeping with the architecture of this city, the carvings were everywhere. The spots where the ceiling and floors met the walls were the most heavily detailed, and Felix could see repeated patterns of greenery and small four legged forms among the friezes. The center of the walls featured a sort of scrolling scene, moving across lush natural vistas like mountains and rivers and forests. Felix stepped up to one and ran his hands across the surface, feeling the very slight bas-relief detail worked into the stone. Wow. This is incredible. In fact, the designs and markings reminded Felix heavily of the underground dungeon where he had been imprisoned. He glanced at the floor beneath him, scuffing dirt and dust aside to see the neatly made edges of pentagonal tiles. He looked back up at the main sculptures, the sprawling depictions of nature and picked out a few small figures dotting the landscapes. Just like under the mountains. Same tiles. Even similar small figures. Did the same people build both? They''re pretty close to each other, so that would make sense. Yet everything in this city and even under the mountain had been made for people much larger than the small figures depicted. Why? "Ahem, I like uh, rocks as much as the next gal, but we need to get some distance from the ground," Evie said, starting to walk toward a shadowed alcove. Pit was right behind her, and she gave him a wary glance. "Harn said the Hoarhounds are powerful trackers and I really don''t want to wake up to find an ice wolf chewing on one of ya." The three of them reluctantly followed Evie, discovering that the alcove was actually a series of winding stairs. In fact, it was two series of stairs built into one: the main set of stairs was made for a human (or human-like) stride, while a path along the center was made for much smaller legs. It was two steps for every one. "Fascinating," Atar murmured. It was very dark in the stairwell, and Felix had to flare his Manasight to see. The stone all pulsed with a dusty brown laced with flashes silvery gray. That''s metal, same as the bits of armor I''ve seen. So iron, probably? He wasn''t a metallurgist, so it could have been titanium for all he knew. Analyze told him nothing, only that it was "quarried stone." Light carvings decorated the outer wall of the stairwell, scrolling vines and leaves twisting and knotting together in an intricate design, and his Manasight could pick out other flashes of metal and stones in the dusty brown earth Mana. He could Analyze those, though: bits of green copper, blue lapis lazuli, and even a smattering of actual silver. The colors swirled and shimmered within the earth Mana, dimming and brightening in turns like a distant night sky. It''s even more beautiful in Manasight than my normal vision. Felix looked around, enjoying the shift and flare of Mana as it flowed through literally everything in this world. It''s like I''m standing on empty air filled with colored light. "Oof!" Felix ran right into Atar''s back, who tilted into Vessilia. The spearwoman was braced, though, and kept everyone on their feet. "What''s in Avet''s name is going on?" Atar whispered, furiously. Felix could see that Evie was holding up a closed fist. She made several quick gestures and Felix could feel the other two change their stances. Atar looked back at him, eyes wide, and mouthed two words. "Someone''s here." Chapter Forty – 040 The room ahead was as dark and quiet as the stairwell had been, but in Felix''s Manasight it all swirled with color. Evie stalked ahead, moving low to the ground and as quietly as possible. Felix couldn''t see much, being stuck in the back, and after two gut wrenching minutes Evie returned, her eyes brightening significantly as she stood up straight. "I was wrong. Can''t find anything," she whispered. "If someone was here, they left no trace. Even the dust ain''t disturbed. Everyone fan out though, see if you notice anything I missed." The other four climbed the rest of the way into the room, inspecting it for the first time. Felix''s vantage widened until he could see a oval-shaped room containing four open archways and a single odd depression in the center. He stepped closer and found that it was a pentagonal hole, with two tiers of seating in it. The very center was the lowest and contained a boundary of carved stone. It''s a fire pit with...tiered seating. Reminds me of those old conversation pits from the 70s. Weird, but not too remarkable. Felix kept looking. The floor was more of the same pentagonal tile, mazed with stress fractures and coated in a thick dust that, just as Evie said, was undisturbed until they trudged through it. There was no sign of anyone, either via his Tracking Skill or his Manasight, no matter how he strained the ability. Felix turned back to the women, his Manasight still flaring from his inspection of the room. Both of them were vaguely humanoid shapes dominated by the green-gold of life Mana, a blurry line of power that branched like small saplings along their spines. But for a few flickering moments he could spot flashes of other colors sparking within their bodies. He blinked and they were gone. Ugh. He rubbed his eyes, feeling them strained after relying on the Skill for so long. So no one is here. What did Evie sense, then? "Nothing is here," announced Atar, walking from one of the side rooms and dusting his robes. "Just dust and more impeccable sculptures. Who exactly lived in this place?" "Not a clue. My father''s library is extensive and still I have not heard of an entire city within the Foglands." Vessilia put her hands on her hips, clearly entranced by the stonework all around her. "It is truly fascinating." Felix saw Atar smile in her direction, a familiar light in his eyes. Felix smiled to himself, turning toward one of the archways and noticing yet another stairwell. This led up, much as the last, with the same smaller stairs set into the center. "Third and final check. Nothing. Anyone else?" Evie asked from across the room. "...No," offered Atar while fiddling with a pouch at his belt. "Zilch over here. Just dust," Felix added. "Vess?" Evie prompted when the young woman didn''t reply. She looked up guiltily from inspecting the walls, eyes wide. "Mhm? Oh! No. Nothing at all." "Okaaay," Evie drawled, stretching her shoulders and arms. "Then we make camp. We can''t stray too far; gotta let Maggie find us somehow." They did just that. In a short piece of time, the five of them had settled in, not having their packs or even blankets to lay out. Instead, as the wait turned to an hour, Vessilia and Atar had drifted back to the walls and Evie paced and fretted near the stairwell. She wasn''t nearly as calm about her sister going off into danger as she projected. Does she have the Acting Skill too? Unsure what to do with himself, Felix sat at the edge of the tiered depression, idly petting Pit''s fur/feather combo. Somehow the combination was smooth and soft, not nearly as coarse as he would have expected. I need to get away. Gotta take care of these vials soon. Can''t imagine they''ll last much longer without refrigeration. Unwilling to wait any longer, Felix stood and made his way to the stairs on the far side of the oval room, Pit close behind him. "Where''re you going?" Felix looked back over his shoulder at Evie, who, despite her question, was barely paying attention to him. "Can''t sit still, so I''m checking out the floor above us." Evie nodded, then brightened. "Good! Keep an eye out for anything weird, and don''t do anything I would do." "I think you got that backwards," started Felix. "No I didn''t." She was already back to pacing. Felix felt a chuckle bubble up in his chest. What a weird girl. He started up the stairs. Cute though. The stairs spiraled upward for a few minutes, decorated much the same as the previous one. So it was a galaxy of magic that guided him upward, his Manasight having to work double time in order to pick out what was stair and what was the flash of inlaid precious material. Why do simple materials like these make my vision strange? It was more than colors, it was a vibrancy to these metals and gemstones that almost oscillated in his eyes. As disconcerting as it was beautiful. Analyze doesn''t ping them as anything special. Just silver and copper, lapis lazuli and serpentine. Not even really rare fantasy metals like mithril or anything. So caught up with these sights, Felix only barely registered that the stairs were ending. So he was startled when he found a solid wall directly before him. Painfully so, as he thunked his forehead against the rough stone, and stumbled backward two steps in surprise. "Ow! What?" Felix rubbed his head. "Why''s there a wall here?" Felix considered the mortared stone before him, eyeing the makeup of its dusty brown Mana shot through with jagged veins of silver. It was like any other wall in the tower and completely unremarkable for that fact. Annoyed, he turned around. Then he turned around again. W-where are the stairs? They were gone. Felix was in a narrow room; a hallway, really, no more than five feet wide but stretching forward another fifty feet. Triangular alcoves lined the path, each heavily shadowed but filled with sculpture of some sort. Pit whined, picking up on Felix''s distress. The stairs had vanished into thin air. Or had he been teleported? Was that a thing? Or... Or did the walls move? Felix wasn''t sure why he found that more creepy than being trans-located by magic, but it was. He tapped the walls again, pushing against the floor and baseboards in the hope that he could activate some hidden catch. But nothing was there. Analyze sent back the same information as any other wall, and his Manasight caught nothing else. So it was with a rapid pulse that he took step after step down the new corridor, Pit padding behind him with his wings tight and tail low. There was no dust, he noticed. His steps brought back the clean sound of hard leather on harder stone, with a slight scrape as he pushed off his back foot or pivoted. Every sound felt close and immediate, as if nothing else existed except him and his boot noises. As he passed the first of the alcoves, he saw white statues of animals on simple, fluted display stands. He Analyzed them as he went. There were detailed recreations of large cats called Kanwar, birds called Fellhawks, Grey Wolves, and even small, Fat-Tailed Lizards. But as Felix strode further down the hall, the statues grew...strange. Each subsequent alcove repeated the same types of creatures as before, except each of them had been altered in some way. The Kanwar had grown scales and small horns, the Fellhawk had gained fangs, the wolves grew another set of legs, and the lizards...they gained wings. Oh what the hell. Skinks are gonna follow me forever. What is all this? The corridor came to an end with each of the animals having gone through a complete metamorphosis, turning into altogether different beasts than they started. Felix Analyzed them and came up with four new names: Harnoq, Tenku, Wendigo, and a Wyvern. Not Skinks at all. Something totally different. "Tenku, huh?" He eyed Pit, who sniffed at the sculpture. "One of your aunts or uncles, buddy?" Pit simply snorted in disdain and walked ahead. Felix smiled and followed. The room opened out into a larger chamber, an ovular one almost identical to the one below, only without any adjoining rooms, just a single darkened alcove on the far side. It even had the same tiered pit. The two largest differences were the total lack of dust here, as if someone had just cleaned the room, and the absolutely massive bas-relief murals dominating every single wall. Much like the ones below, they were far better preserved than the countless carvings outside. They also heavily featured natural formations. One wall was entirely filled with a split peaked mountain made of thick, dull iron, heavily forested and featuring two peaks that appeared to have been sundered in two at some point. Second wall had a sprawling forest, rendered in silver and serpentine stone. And the last wall featured a waterfall above a sprawling lake, the water picked out with lapis lazuli and pieces of near translucent alabaster. On top of that, the walls were crawling with depictions of animals. Most were unidentifiable to Felix as they seemed to be a mish-mash of multiple species spliced together. Some, however, greatly resembled the statues in the previous hallway. Chimeras. Repeated over and over were small white figures, rendered as caring for or otherwise interacting with the chimeras. Unlike any other carving, they were made of a smooth white stone. Are these the caretakers of these ruins? The original inhabitants? Felix found himself fascinated by it all, especially the similarities between this place and the Nymean Temple. The Temple also had naturalist style art. Is it similar ideology? Or were the two connected? Across the far side of the room, the shadowed alcove resolved into another archway, this one with a set of stairs leading up...and back down a level. Good. Not sure how I got turned around, but I can get back to the others easily. He ran a hand across an immaculately rendered tree on the wall. I''d hate to use Stone Shaping and ruin some of this. Mind more at ease, Felix made his way back to the tiered depression. He seated himself within it and took a breath. Then he laid out his blood vials. Hoarhound blood. Risi blood. Assassin blood. Felix set them all on the bench beside him, eyeballing them in turn. The first two were dark colored and rimed with literal frost, the hound blood most of all. The power of this blood hadn''t seemed to have abated, and the idea of eating them was challenging at best. The last was the simplest, but also the one he was worried about the most; the liquid had darkened considerably and it was normal human blood. Not magical creature ichor or whatever. Just like, A positive. Just take it slow. I''ll do the Hoarhound first. Chances always seemed better for Skill gain rather than Memory gain, but it was a crap shoot as far as Felix was concerned. He hoped for a Skill, in this case. Felix lifted the container, hands sticking slightly to the cold surface. He popped the seal and ice cracked from the vial. With a grimace, Felix tipped it back quickly, except the blood within was viscous and moved like tar. It rolled, stretching and drooping until, all at once, it plopped right into his mouth. OUGH! It was vile, a thick, terrible paste that Felix had to actually chew to swallow. What was worse, the viscous liquid was so cold that he felt pain radiate from his tongue and throat, a sensation that burned a line of agony down his entire esophagus. New Skill Learned! Cold Resistance (Common), level 1! You''ve felt the powerful effects of frost and have grown stronger for it. Damage reduction increases with Skill Level. Felix pushed the blood down, actively shoving it toward his core. He cycled the thick sludge, pouring it into the furnace of his Fire Within, willing that his power devour it. After a moment, his blue-white Mana surged, and the power began to eat up the ichor, burning it for fuel. Pain. Frost crackled across his back and ribs, extending down his arms and legs with a burning ferocity. Cold poured off his body like steam, and Felix could sense a purple-white Mana vapor begin to pool around him in the tiered pit he sat in, his own special fog that rolled out from his chest. It was agony. But he could handle this. Cold Resistance is level 2! Cold Resistance is level 3! ... Cold Resistance is level 6! Pain Resistance is level 28! Congratulations! Your Title Gourmand Has Garnered You Insight! You Have Fully Digested Your Opponent''s Mana! You Have Learned A Skill From A Hoarhound! Mantle of the Long Night (Rare), level 1! The cold of the Long Night cannot be stopped, only delayed. Extends an aura of cold centered on yourself. Range and strength increases with Skill Level. Yes! The pain stopped as sudden as the notifications appeared, and it was like a drug all by itself. Then his brain flooded with palpable relief, easing through his bones even as his appetite surged. It had worked. Thank fuck. Felix rubbed at his chest, memory of the burning pain going nowhere soon. I hope this Skill is worth the pain. His stomach growled, loudly. How long since I last ate? He honestly wasn''t sure, so he fumbled with his satchel and pulled out a few servings of jerky and hard bread. Between heavy chewing and hearty swings of his rescued waterskin, Felix made short work of the meal. By the end of it, he felt remarkably more human. That was...more food than I''ve had in a while. I feel like I could eat more, too. Is this because of my stat increase? More power so more fuel is necessary? He''d have to test that at some point, but he shook his head and checked his Health and Stamina. Both had recovered adequately during his meal, so Felix meditating a bit longer to top himself off before uncorking the vial of giant''s blood. This vial smelled awful. Distinctly gamey and extremely cold, like a distillation of a piercing winter wind pushing through a bloated carcass. Steeling himself, Felix quaffed it. Thick, but more corn syrup to the Hoarhound''s molasses, it rolled down his throat quicker than he anticipated. A slight burn as it did, still obviously cold, but almost refreshing compared to the first. What a cool life. I can now add knowledge of the palatability of different monster bloods to the ol'' resume. He laughed, touching his chest, the blood feeling like gnarly heartburn. At this rate I-- The world pulsed, a familiar ripple pushing out around him like a stone in a still pond. You Have Gained A Memory From A Risi Warrior! Would You Like To Review It Now? Yes/Yes Felix''s eyes widened, but then he was gone. He was somewhere else. Someone else. Lork was pissed. Pissed and uncomfortable. Lork hawked, reaching deep before spitting a wad a phlegm the size of Felix''s fist onto the ground. It landed with a great, gooey splat and made a few of the prisoner''s scatter. Even seeing the Humans run didn''t cheer him up. It had been a bad day. Lork had been part of a hunting party in the city, and had gotten separated during a commotion with free Humans. The Mother-cursed fog turned him around, and by the time he found his crew they had all been killed. Even the Commander. Fie on that fat bastard. Lork wouldn''t lose any sleep over him. But that meant he was the one who had to report their defeat to the Circle. As a result, he got stuck with guard duty and half rations. "Damn those Humans!" They had cost him three entire meals at this point! The moment he found them, he''d show them the meaning of fear. He''d eat their entire faces off and make em watch! Still, he mused, digging a finger through his wide nostril. Could be worse. Lork was doing guard duty but was in easy reach of the icefire and their frostbanks, keeping his body in better condition than it had been running patrol out in the city. Kept my mind, though. The Daughters ain''t taking no chances with patrols. Lork had seen a few of em, empty eyes and empty skulls for twelve hours, just puppets for the frost witches. Some ain''t even come back. Lork shifted on his rock, still uncomfortable. Despite his rocky perch, this was the closest to home they had in these insufferably warm lands. It was nice to bask in the frostbanks. Even if he had to watch a bunch of pale children shiver in their cages. "Oi, Lork. Meal time." A gruff voice came from the left, closer to the icefire than Lork was allowed. The only exception was meal time. Lork traded off with a fresh warrior, this one barely bearded. Lork snorted, getting a venomous look from the kid as they passed. Closer to the fire, Lork found a pile of charred meat, seared over the icefire and stacked on a large flat rock. Other kin were seated around the icefire, breathing in its healing smoke and basking in it''s radiance. His mouth watered as he considered the array of meat before him, aching to take all of it, flee to a cave and gorge himself. Before he can act on it, a burly kin got in his way. "Short rations for you, Lork," the kin growled, white beard fluttering. He grabbed a couple thin haunches and shoved them toward Lork, not moving until the punished guard had started walking away again. Lork made his way to the edge of the icefire light, barely close enough to enjoy its power. Disgusted at his own weakness, Lork tore into the haunches, quickly stripping them of flesh. The others started talking once Lork moved away, some disappointed there had been no fight. Lork barely listened. "...entered the labyrinth. Ain''t none of em comin'' out." One darker blue kin was saying, his white beard greasy with meat juice. A taller and more slender kin reclined next to him and burped loudly. "They got that leader though, right? The angry one." The slender kin made a face, pretty comical on his larger and exaggerated features. "She been through like seven times now, I think. She ain''t dead yet." "You think they''ll get it?" asked a hopeful voice, another beardless kin with wide eyes. Mother''s breath, how desperate are we? Taking in children. Lork snapped the bones in his hands, beginning to suck on the marrow as he lamented the state of his people. The others kept talking. "Grimmar will make em get it, even if he has to puppet them himself," vowed one scarred veteran, hands filled with a thick slab of meat that he had barely touched. "Blood will show, and we''ll get ours. Make no mistake." Grimmar. Even the name made Lork shiver. Their leader and ruler of the Circle was kin enough to inspire his people to travel three thousand miles to this cursed land, and witch enough to put fear into the hearts of all who might oppose him. It was Grimmar''s mad plan, this journey to the south, Grimmar''s visions that guided the Circle, and it was Grimmar''s might that would claim it all. He''ll do it, Lork agreed. Nothing could stop Avet''s own. Chapter Forty One – 041 Felix became aware of the sound of a single, low pitched chord. It sounded like hunger at the end of a long night, like cold held close by the dark, of teeth not used. With an awful clarity, he became aware of his body: the pleasant fullness of his stomach, the delicious flavor of the meat the giant had eaten, and the terrible certainty that it wasn''t pork. URGK! All at once, Felix fell forward and vomited. His hastily eaten meal dashed against the fire pit, easily filling up the carved ring. He hacked and coughed, his stomach and mind refusing to believe he was empty, muscles wringing him out like a dishrag. When he was able to sit straight, Felix found Pit sitting close to his back, gold eyes watching with concern. "I''m a--ghlk, I''m ok," Felix insisted, wiping at his mouth. He knew he didn''t really eat what the giant ate, but he found it impossible to convince his mind that two meals were separate. Even the thought of the greasy, charred haunches of meat made Felix''s stomach turn, so he pushed down the thought. Or tried to. Having perfect recall wasn''t always great. Lessons of the Past is level 10! Lessons of the Past is level 11! That''s something, at least. Felix leaned back carefully, resting his body against the tier seating behind him. The stone was hard and cold, but Pit nuzzled up against his shoulders like a fluffy body pillow. He smiled when he heard the distinct sound of cooing coming from the tenku. Ok, I got a Memory that time. What did I learn? Felix retrieved his battered notebook, fishing out an even worse grease pencil. It had snapped in half at some point. I''ll have to see if I can borrow a spare from their big bag of supplies. He found a clear section of paper, drew a line of demarcation from the other packed notes, and started writing. Labyrinth. Something inside it? Something about this "Mother." Leader''s name is Grimmar, who rules the Daughters of the "Circle," and controls the others. Puppets = mind control? Explains the dead look in the patrolling giants'' eyes this morning. Prisoners being led by the "angry one." Notes finished, Felix regarded the page. Technically speaking, the Nym didn''t need to write any of this down, but it helped him organize his thoughts. Having perfect memory was well and good, but only if he knew how to think in the first place. Something his mother taught him a long time ago. First step to doing right, is thinking right. Hey, Bumble? Felix felt his breath hitch suddenly, his nose burning and throat aching. That...it was like hearing her voice. Why hadn''t he thought of this before? His memory had a chance of perfect recall beyond thirty days, but he''d rarely used it, too preoccupied with the now. He tried again, thinking back on anything, summers and vacations, long evenings near the beach, anything. But it was all just noise, vague impressions of washed out scenes. Just like any other memory. But still. Makes me feel a little less alone. Felix smiled to himself, lightly stroking pit''s crown. After a minute or two, he took a breath and centered himself. It was time for the last vial. I wasn''t able to learn any Skills from the giant''s blood, but the Memory at least gave me more information on them. Maybe I can learn the Risi''s language? He scratched out another note. I''ll try that later. Carefully, Felix picked up the last vial. This one, unlike the others, was simply cool to the touch. No ice or magical phenomena had formed around the glass. It was just blood, darker and thicker than it had been when he''d collected it. It''s congealed, a little. Ugh. Maybe I can pass on this one...I mean what do I need from an assassin I beat up? Felix smiled sourly at himself, unable to even speak that lie aloud. The assassin had wiped the floor with him. If he hadn''t fought off the poison she had used, he would have died there on the roof. And if he hadn''t put her on the backfoot somehow, Felix doubted she would have fled. She was capable and ruthless, attempting to kill him simply because she could. Speaking of, what happened back there? What was it called? Right. "Essence of Inevitability." What the hell does that even mean? Felix tightened his grip on the vial and let his mind drift, recalling the experience within his own little world of torment. "Rare Poison Detected During Formation! Choose a Feature: Inevitable Deadening Heart-Rending Still dizzy from the lack of pain, Felix chose the first one, barely reading it. Congratulations! You have absorbed the essence of inevitability!" He cut off the memory as pain started to mount. Felix opened his eyes, and they shone blue for a brief second before dimming to nothing. Holy...that''s a rush. Like reliving the moment. Felix could still recall the pain he had felt, just hours ago. It tingled at the edges of his nerves, the memory dangerously close to rehashing the agony. Shaking his head to clear it, Felix tried to make sense of it all. Inevitability. He looked for a blue box to appear, hopefully one with helpful information. No such luck. Essence. Formation? With a near soundless chime, a new screen appeared before him. Formation: Apprentice Stage Essence(s) Body 1 of 3 Inevitability Mind 0 of 3 N/A Spirit 0 of 3 N/A Ok! Now we''re getting somewhere! Felix poked at the words Body, Mind, and Spirit. But nothing happened. Apprentice Stage, at least, he thought he could make sense of now. He had reached Apprentice Tier in Poison Resistance while that gnarly concoction was inside his body. So he...took something from it? Absorbed it? Why? Moreover, he had chosen "inevitability" instead of a super cool one like "heart-rending?" But what did that mean? Felix probed the Essence column and finally, finally, something happened. You have absorbed the essence of inevitability! Continue to temper yourself and reap the rewards! Huh. Temper myself? He rubbed his eyes, feeling a headache coming on. Those guilders need to get back soon. I''ve got so many questions. Tempering sounded like strengthening to Felix, and he wasn''t against that idea. This has to be a common thing, right? The how was a bit of a mystery, though it clearly had something to do with reaching Apprentice Tier. He nodded to himself. He''d ask the Tin Ranks about it when he went back downstairs. In fact, Felix was convinced he''d taken the wrong route with them. The Tin Ranks especially were very accepting of him and his particular circumstances. Despite Magda''s suspicions (and Harn''s to a lesser extent), Felix figured it was time to be honest. I''ll explain what I can. They don''t seem to have an issue with my Race, after all, despite all my worry at having a "Lost Race." They must have Analyzed me by now. Feeling that decision firm up in his mind, Felix lifted the vial which had warmed slightly in his grip. Though the blood was still disgustingly chunky. Taking a deep breath, Felix uncorked the vial and tipped it back. "OUGH GAWD," he coughed. "That''s ughk! That''s horrendous." He expected it to be coppery, after all he''d bitten his own lip before. He had even expected lumpy sour curdles. But he hadn''t expected it to be cloyingly sweet! "Oh damn! Oh fuck! That''s -erup- bad," Felix''s pushed down his gorge, forcing himself to swallow the chunky mess even as the taste of it invaded his entire mouth. Several thumps on his chest and it passed, leaving him with what felt like a slime trail of salty sweetness. Deep breath. Any moment now and your core will burn it all up. Deeeep breath. But nothing happened. "Well...shit." Felix felt at his chest and core, prodding. "Does it not work on humans? That''s a waste. Pit, it''s time to--" Felix turned around but there was no one there. There was nothing there. Blackness, pure and complete filled his vision. Not a speck of Mana swirled or shined, not a soul moved. Felix looked down at his hands and he could clearly see himself, fully lit by a sourceless light. This is terrifying. His words swept around him, jangling like out of tune bells as the not-air shivered. But his chest didn''t rise, his breath didn''t move. Definitely not a fan of this. What the hell is going on? The discordant chime of his words shook the darkness, the void...thinning, somehow. Felix reached out a hand, attempted to grasp the shadows but there was nothing there. No substance at all around him. Or below him. Felix had a dizzying moment as he regarded the endless dark beneath him, a negative space so absolute it was like standing on a featureless black painting that was at turns flat and terrifyingly 3D. AHH! More atonal noise, more shivers in the world around him. Felix fought down his panic, applying his mind instead. Move. The nothing shuddered, but less. Like a taut tarp in a gentle wind. Move! A wobbling, as if the darkness was balanced on the edge of something else. Felix channeled all of his fear and adrenaline into a single shout, pouring all of it out of him. MOVE! With a soundless explosion the void shattered into ten trillion pieces, each one rotating and oscillating into a cascading spray of people upon a white background. The people flickered outward, shot forward as if shot from cannons. Behind them trailed imprints of themselves, footprints that were their entire past, crawling forward at lightning speed like a billion caterpillars shuffling into infinity. It was, in a phrase, trippy as balls. Felix held his head, his eyes ready to explode from his skull. He looked up, and the figures extend up too; and down, and behind him. Felix stood in an epicenter while infinite permutations of people spread like fractal map of armored women. Wait. Armored...Felix sees their faces, noting their darkened leathers and brace of blades. These are all the same woman. The assassin! Holy shit what was in that blood? In some iterations the woman was wearing no armor or mask, just simple clothes or heavy jackets. Sometimes she was even dressed in elaborate finery. But mostly it was the mask and armor, over and over. A single person in an infinite span of moments, the thought struck him over the head as he watched the assassin unfold endlessly into the white void. She reached in all directions, echoing across his mind like a ringing chime. It was a sublime chord, plucked and shuddering as she spiraled away from him in a dance that was pure chaos. All movement without meaning. Then, without warning, a terrible discord shuddered through the music, a defect in the crystalline tones that spread like cracks across the person''s spiraling self. The cracks mazed the void, spreading like broken ice, shearing with inevitable finality. Blindly, Felix thrust his mind forward, moving somewhere, anywhere he could. Anything to escape. He touched one of the infinite moments and flinched as time splintered like a shattering stained glass window. It enveloped him even as it fell in on itself. And he was gone. Ilia squatted on the ledge, wearing the shadows around her like a familiar cloak. Below her, human prisoners toiled between the frosted colonnades. Giantfolk stood watch, not closely, but certainly not far away enough for any of them to attempt escape. The prisoners were too smart to try that again, though she could hope. Certainly would cut into the drudgery of this assignment, she thought, rolling her shoulders and flexing her leg muscles, trying to stay limber in the cold. At first Ilia had been intrigued by this spot of monster on human slavery, but it had grown tiresome quickly. If I hadn''t gotten separated from my quarry, I''d have better things to do. Ilia rolled her eyes. They''re headed here though. Sooner or later they''ll show up. The prisoners were mostly human, and were largely pathetic and weepy. Broken, by all accounts. Barely a hundred of them left, too. Ilia had been listening to them whisper among themselves, everything from curses at the gods to stillborn attempts at good humor. These men and women were desperate, the bare remnants of a grand expedition into the Foglands. Something that hadn''t been tried in a hundred years. It would have been audacious if it had succeeded. Now it was blackmail fuel, because no matter what Ilia was hired to do, she knew Elder DuFont would pay good money for this never to come to light. To have wasted so many resources on an expedition this size...and to have not one person return with anything? An absolute scandal. Did the Elder think I wouldn''t find out? Ilia scoffed. She jumped across the ledges, using Cloudstep to tap off a platform made of air when the footing disappeared. Interestingly, there was a leader among the prisoners. A woman with honey colored hair, cropped short and wearing light drakeskin armor. She was fresher than most, even still had some fire in her eyes. Most of the others were barely above livestock at this point. Ilia watched as the woman ordered around the few who would listen. With many surruptitious glances back at the giantfolk, she went about teaching them how to fight, detailing how to survive in the laybrinth below. Poor fools. You''ll all be dead by dawn. Ilia had no doubts that whatever these behemoths were after was deadly; after all, if it was easy, they''d send their own folk in. Unable to Analyze in this blasted fog, she could still feel the power contained in the giants. Especially what emanated from the bronze dome near the sink hole. Whatever dwelt in there was terrifying. A dark crack sheared across a nearby pillar, though Illia did not look at it. She continued watching below, noting the prisoners'' ragged clothing and lack of shoes. When the second crack spread across the ground below, she did not notice either. When the third and forth cracks branched across the sky, Felix looked up. Pulled from the assassin''s body, Felix felt a powerful vertigo that destroyed his sense of balance. He tipped and fell from their perch, landing on the heavy snow with a muffled THUD. But it didn''t hurt. Felix felt nothing, even as the memory around him began to splinter into a thousand pieces. Felix saw the prisoners look at him in fear, their faces only half finished from this angle, a hodgepodge of misaligned features that gaped in terror at him. Horror mounted in his chest, but his screams wouldn''t come. He had no voice. And then the world was rent asunder. Vvim was old. Far older than they had any right to be. And they were bored. They were old enough to remember this place as it was, before the end. They remembered when Shelim was strong and beautiful, a jewel in the crown of the greatest kingdom ever known. The valley had been lush then, filled to the brim with life and laughter, so much that the mountains rang with it. But that was long ago. Before the Ruin, before the great work was finished. Before the curse. They once had family, even after the Ruin. Now, Vvim only had the shadows of the past for company, and their memory dimmed with every passing year. Vvim let out a sigh that was as dusty as the room around them. They rarely breathed anymore, just as they rarely ate. Why bother? When it all turns to ash in their mouth, it was better just to remember food. Then, against all odds, something happened. A tingle of discharged Mana surged across Vvim''s desk, lighting a decrepit crystalline deposit set inside the surface. With a palsied hand, they pushed the inches thick layer of dust away and peered at the deposit. It glimmered blue, gold, then surprisingly, green-gold. "It...cannot...be," Vvim wheezed, breath again pumping their withered bellows. He had felt a few Humans enter the tower some time ago, but he had withdrawn his attention when his senses detected nothing remarkable about them. But that had changed. They were using sorcery. Not magic. No pitiful rote Skills and Spells. True, honest sorcery. Now that he was aware of them, Vvim could feel the harmonics subtly shift the air itself. They raised a hand and manipulated the resonance, feeling the texture of the working. It felt...discordant. Wrong. Not like a song half sung, but like a snapped string or punctured drum. It felt like an ending. Vvim smiled, his skin creaking as their fur stretched. Small fissures appeared on their cheeks and chin, though no blood came forth. Their teeth showed, sharp and white. Vvim felt their heart stir in their chest, a weakened, shriveled thing that caused their ears to practically roar as fluid pumped through their veins. They were ancient. Far older than they had a right to be. And they were happy. After millennia, death had come. Chapter Forty Two – 042 Lessons of the Past is level 12! Lessons of the Past is level 13! Felix woke up in the fire pit. His entire body felt like he''d been beaten with one of those giant metal clubs. He was sore and aching and it hurt to think. He didn''t move, kept his Manasight deactivated and eyes closed. The sound of his breathing was loud, and the smell of his sick was sour, but he laid there unmoving for a long time. At some point, he roused himself. His brain began to work, small bursts flashing in the dark of his skull. That Memory...what was any of that? Are humans so different than monsters? Why did he see that insane M.C. Escher print of a landscape? Eyes closed, he could still perceive his interface. Felix noted his Lessons of the Past Skill had risen to level 13...and that before the assassin''s blood, it had risen above level 10. Level 10 has been a milestone for Skills, I''ve noticed. Did...did the Skill change? If so, Felix didn''t like it. He''d have to be more cautious in the future, especially if those...fissures reappeared. The thought of them, of their deep void color, sent shivers of pain across his skull. It was like hearing nails on a chalkboard or squeaky styrofoam with existential terror thrown in the mix. He squeezed his eyes shut and tried to forget it. It didn''t work. Finally, Pit''s confusion and concern radiated through their link, and Felix forced himself to a sitting position. Puke had dried to him and his tattered shirt. He finally stripped it off and threw it away from himself. No shirt, just pants. Just like old times. "I gotta get more durable outfits." Massaging his neck, Felix stood up and activated Manasight. He found his three vials, though it took a moment to locate the last cork. Climbing out of the pit, he leaned over and washed his three vials out with his waterskin before taking a long pull himself. He felt remarkably better after that. He had probably been slightly dehydrated. I''m sure I gotta eat some more but, he felt his stomach flop over at the idea. Maybe later. Though the food didn''t excite him, it was filling at least. He missed stupid corner store pizza, and gas station hamburgers, two staples from his life before. Admittedly, my diet and exercise regimen has certainly been better since I came here. Felix looked down at his bare torso, seeing muscles he had never had before. The fat on him was nearly burned away, only a little sticking to his love handles still. He ran his hand down his stomach, feeling the distinct impression of abs. "Quest Received," Felix said in a serious voice. "Fight monsters, almost die, do it again. Reward: Aaabbbs." He chuckled to himself. Yeah. He breathed in again and let his arms rise and fall with a soft slap. Coulda been worse. Ok! He clapped his hands together, then bent and retrieved his notebook and grease pencil. "What have we learned, Pit?" The tenku tilted his head at Felix, letting out a half chirrup. "Well, the assassin''s name is Ilia. Good to know for the future. Maybe the Silver Ranks will know who that is?" He jotted down the note. "There were a hundred prisoners when Ilia was there. Unsure how long ago the Memory was....Check with the Guilders and ask how long they''ve been out here. Maybe figure out a timeline?" Felix tapped the pencil nub against his lips, considering the Memory, focusing to keep it from overwhelming his senses. Bits and flashes of it replayed, a strobe light of moments. "Ah, ok. She said they were mostly human prisoners, so not all of them. Maybe that means there are a lot of intermixing peoples?" Felix chewed his lip, more of the Memory playing out in his mind''s eye. "Apparently, the fog inhibits her ability to Analyze people. Which means it probably stops the Guilders too. Which means they don''t know jack about me, except what I tell them," He sighed and leaned against the wall, the stone cool against his back. "So I have no idea if being a Nym is good or bad to them. Dang." He underlined that note a couple times, writing a big "Be Cautious" in the margin. He took another breath. "Hokay, onto the important bits," he took up his pencil again, adjusting his grip so his knuckles stopped hitting the page. "The prisoners were being led by someone. Honey-colored, short hair, leather armor. Is she the same ''angry one'' the Risi mentioned?" That part was a bit strange. Why would both memories concern the prisoners? Is there an element to this I''m missing? Probably. I could fill books with what I don''t know about this place. He laughed, annoyed at himself. He was doing just that, wasn''t he? He made a few more marks onto the page. "Who is Elder DuFont? They hired Ilia, clearly. Mention that to the Silver Ranks. And as far as I can tell, Ilia was using two Skills in that Memory: some sort of shadow cloak, and a way to walk on the air, what she called Cloudstep." Felix snapped the book closed and stowed the pencil. "And I know which one I want to learn." An hour later, Felix decided that learning shadow cloak was impossible. This was for two reasons: one, Ilia''s Memory had not been focused on the Skill, instead letting it run in the background. He figured it was likely some sort of passive benefit, or otherwise worked in a way that made zero sense to him. And two, the...slipperiness...of shadow Mana prevented him from properly manipulating it. Which made no freaking sense, considering his Shadow Whip spell was more tacky than slick. So what''s the difference? Using the hints he could tease from the Memory, Felix had attempted to recreate the Mana patterns using Fire Within; Shadow Whip was a reference point. Felix was surprised to find how dissimilar the two were. The spell had slipped from his grasp and rebounded on him four times before he gave up, and the end of the hour found him nursing a massive headache against one of the carved walls. The iron mountain loomed above him, shining with a silver-brown radiance in the corner of his vision, and Felix had to deactivate his Manasight. At least in the dark he didn''t have to see how much he didn''t know. Frankly I''m surprised I''ve managed to figure out this much. All of this magic stuff is wildly out of my league. Felix drank some more water, the liquid sloshing loudly in the total darkness. The Skills I''ve been learning are changing me in ways I hadn''t expected. Fire Within alone has me contemplating a weird internal world of Mana that I definitely never had before. It''s amazing and thrilling and terrifying and... And it means I need a teacher. That was abundantly clear. There was so much that he wanted explained, so much that he had probably fucked up already. Sure he''d amassed a lot of stats and a considerable amount of Titles, but that was luck and circumstance. How did everything work? What was after Apprentice Tier? What even was an Omen? Felix sighed. I''m in the dark unless I can get the Guilders to help me. Considering Magda''s suspicious nature, that might take some doing. He leaned his head back against the wall, looking up into the black. All of this is changing me. The stats, the Skills, even my pact with Pit. Piece by piece, I''m becoming someone other than who I was when I arrived here. It scares me just as much as it excites me. Who will I be, when this is over? What will I be? Felix felt Pit settle against his left side, beak slightly nipping at his hand. Dutifully, Felix started scratching the little beast. The image of the assassin ran through his head, her cold condescension and dismissal of his life. He felt anger well up inside him, hot and righteous and burning for an outlet. At least Ilia taught me a truth: I either get stronger or I die. It''s my only way forward. He leveraged himself to his feet, and Pit squawked in dismay. Felix still had another Skill he could try, and at least a little time left before anyone came looking for him. He dragged his fingers through the Memory, stopping once he found what he was looking for: Cloudstep. He focused on the Memory, letting his mind drift back into the grip of his past, just enough to see it again. He was Ilia again, making a casual leap into thin air, only to have it solidify beneath him before pushing off again. It was a brief and well executed move, and at first blush seemed miraculous. Felix backed up, reliving the moment again. But this time, he felt for the rush of Ilia''s senses, which were very acute, and tried to feel out the patterns of her Mana. The moment her leg left the ledge, there was a stirring in her core before surging down into her legs...but he lost it once the air solidified again. Shaking his head, Felix started again. It was activating too fast. He couldn''t keep up. Again. The Mana surged, the pattern formed and twisted down the pathways in her leg, expelling into the world...and--! She was pushing Mana out into the air? Just unattributed Mana? He checked again, but the Mana he sensed was almost colorless, a translucent cloud of power that puffed from her feet and solidified. How? He did it again. And again, but the how of it never revealed itself. So Felix practiced. He attempted to mimic the feel of the power, tracing its path down his channels and into his foot. It was easy enough to manage after a few minutes, moving the magic within him, but expelling it was another story. It seemed...stuck, for lack of a better word. Bottlenecking at his foot, the Mana simply gathered there until he stopped focusing, then would flow immediately back to his core. Frustrated he copied the shifts and twists of Ilia''s magic, tracing out a complicated whirling pattern much as he did with his Stone Shaping Skill, yet very different. Where Stone Shaping was all curving lines and steady flow, these were twisty and loopy, prone to making abrupt changes in direction and reversals. It was extremely difficult to get the hang of, and Felix felt his headache edge back into his temples. The twists and patterns of each spell I gain all seem unique. They''re like magic words, almost. But instead of a string of vaguely-Latin word-jumble, I get the equivalent of throwing rocks in a pond to make waves hit the shore in just the right way to set it on fire. Craziness. Wait. Felix opened his eyes, his Manasight showing him the sleeping form of Pit at his feet. I''m worrying about the wrong thing here. I''ve done this before, with Reign of Vellus. How does that work? Felix reviewed his kinetic spell, watching as the blue crackling wave of force washed outward from him before dissipating. Was the Skill automating the action? Is that why it''s so easy to do this with Reign of Vellus? He looked closer, watching as the Mana flowed from Felix''s body and out of his hands, the azure light sparking with electricity as it jumped away from him. It seems like intent and momentum. Build up enough of both and it''ll just...flow. I hope. Felix tried again, gathering up his Mana and surging it down his right leg. He focused, willing his vision of reality to occur just as he pressed down with whatever mental muscle controlled his pathways. There was a build up of resistance that felt awful, and then suddenly WOOSH a cloud of blue and gold puffed into appearance at his feet. It disappeared in moments. Fire Within is level 28! New Skill Learned! Mana Manipulation (Uncommon), Level 1! You have learned to manipulate Mana itself! Good job! Don''t kill yourself! Increase in precision and control with Skill Level. "Holy shit I did it!" And he got a cool new Skill from it too. Felix wasn''t sure what the difference between Fire Within and Mana Manipulation was, but he was eager to find out. But first he had some stepping to do! Surging his power, Felix forced out another cloud of blue-gold Mana but this time immediately placed his foot down on it...and stumbled forward. "Gah! Shit." The cloud sparked into a thousand bolts of static electricity as his foot just smooshed right through it. "Do I need more Mana?" Felix tried again, and again. Turned out, he had to put nearly five hundred Mana into the little cloud before it would even start to hold his weight. Finally, after entirely too long, he pushed his foot down onto the Mana cloud and felt it mush beneath him...but hold. For two seconds. Then it disappeared again, evaporating into the air itself. Fire Within is level 29! Mana Manipulation is level 2! ... Mana Manipulation is level 4! New Skill Learned! Cloudstep (Uncommon), Level 1! Like running, but very different! Step to the skies! Durability and duration increase with Skill Level. "Hell yeah!" Felix pumped his fist into the air, savoring the victory. But he had wasted so much of his Mana and had nearly emptied himself out this time. Felix tottered toward the nearest wall, letting himself fall against it. His body felt overheated, as if he''d been working out, and the cool stone was a balm. Can''t believe that was so hard. Felix huffed, trying to slow his breathing. Why is that? Sometimes I feel like I gain a Skill without trying, and this I have to fight tooth and nail for. Felix didn''t let his mind wander down that path. It was useless to speculate without someone to teach him. Speaking of which, they should be back by now, right? I should go find them, at least to ensure that they don''t leave me behind. Felix stood up, pushing off the carved wall as he gained his feet. Then he heard a ringing sound; but ringing wasn''t quite right. It was more felt than heard, a ringing chime that shook his bones and tingled against his skin. What is that? Felix turned toward the wall he was touching, feeling it strongest through the stone surface. The chime came from his left, toward the stairs, somewhere along the wall itself. Cautiously Felix approached, one hand on the wall while the other was clenched, ready to summon a Corrosive Strike in an instant. But when he reached the center of the mural, he found the silent chiming was coming from the depiction of a waterfall arcing into a wide lake. Something is...it''s coming from under the blue inlay. The lapis lazuli was layered thickly on the mural, carved and altered to depict a stylistic water feature, and the vibrations were coming from...the waterfall itself. Felix flexed his Manasight, and instantly he noticed that the surface Mana of the mural was rippling. Abruptly, the blue stone waters began to flow and shift, as if real. Drawing closer, Felix watched as the stone poured over the waterfall and splashed powerfully into the lake below. The mural was so detailed, so immaculately done, that he could even see the barest hint of a ledge beneath the waterfall, as if.... The stone parted, and revealed a small jagged piece of bronze metal inside the waterfall. Like a bronze fish surrounded by jeweled waters. The vibration grew more powerful as his hand neared, practically singing as he reached out and touched the metal. The moment he touched it, the ringing multiplied a thousandfold. It coursed down his arm and between his ears and danced across his heart and guts. It was so strong, so omnipresent, that it took Felix several seconds to realize the sound was coming from behind him too. He looked down and saw his sword, strapped to his pack, was nearly chiming along with the vibrations. With his left hand, Felix grabbed it and held it aloft. Slowly the runes along its length ignited in a strange sequence, flashing out of order and in differing intensities. Then they quieted. The vibrations stopped. Felix was dumbfounded. What is this? He touched the waterfall again, the chime gone now. But then he stepped back and looked at the scene, hoping for more answers. There was a river coming from up on a distant mountain before dropping off the cliff, and pouring into a large lake that was surrounded by white and red trees. Odd. He focused on the bronze piece, shaped like a small hook almost. Kinda like... Kinda like his sword. "Holy shit," Felix stared down at the sword in his hand. "This is the Waterfall Temple." He looked around at the other murals. "Then does that mean...?" He rushed over to the other walls, peering at the silver forest and the split-peaked mountain. But despite his search, he could find no bronze inlaid into their designs. His Manavision found no spark of gold hidden beneath their depths. Are there Temples hidden at all of these places? Why? The one I found only had a few mostly empty rooms and a big magic door that wanted to kill anyone who got close...Shit. Based on what he knew of this world, nothing good was behind that door. And Felix was willing to bet that each Temple had one...if there were other Temples. I don''t even know if these are even in the Foglands. But if his hours of watching the History channel meant anything, it was that no one carved elaborate scenes into walls without a purpose. Questions, questions. They never end. Another noise caught his ears, freshly acclimated to the lack of ringing or chiming. It was the sound of metal on stone, and the soft murmur of voices from below. They''re back. Good. Felix squared up his shoulders and moved toward the stairwell. It was past time they all had a chat. Vvim gripped their cane with whitened knuckles, and though their hands were palsied with age it was not time that shook their limbs. The youth ran off, dashing down the stairs to seek his companions and Vvim did not stop him. They dared not. Though others may be fooled, Vvim was untouched by the grand illusion erected Ages ago. Little could be hidden from the Geist. Still, they were not to be hurried. Things could be more complicated than it first seemed. Vvim''s eyes shined a pale, robin''s egg blue, their whites stained as if their irises had burst and overflowed. Their eyes were shrewd and powerful, but their nose...yes, their nose was much stronger. Vvim hobbled forward, cane clacking against the stone. His nose wrinkled and twitched, and his bared his teeth slightly at the sour scent of vomit. Salted meat? Hard tack? No...something else. Vvim searched, until their finger found a small dab of red. They lifted it, bringing the wet to their nose and breathing deep. Blood of a Human. Why? Their eyes fell upon the far wall, the blue water glistening in their senses, still radiating a faint heat from the boy''s presence. A sigh of wind, and Vvim held withered hands before the sculpture, feeling the texture of the warmth that stubbornly clung to the wall. Brows furrowed, Vvim clacked their teeth and gestured at the waterfall. The blue stone parted, revealing the jagged piece of bronze embedded deep within it. The Herald''s Hook. Quick as a blink, Vvim checked the other two murals, running his senses across them. Still there. Still unclaimed. Vvim looked down, as if peering through the stone slab at their feet. Who are you, child? Chapter Forty Three – 043 Felix slowed his descent, taking each step carefully. He held his Manasight at full burn, watching the floor, ceilings, and walls for movement. Felix was determined to see if anything would happen a second time. Pit bristled behind him, clearly displeased with the pace. Felix absently pet the tenku on his head, eyes never blinking. Half way down, Felix heard something. A shift, like stone against stone. But when he turned he saw nothing. The Mana was stable, the shadows thick. He kept walking, step by step, trying to watch everything all at once. After a few more turns in the spiral stairwell, he saw a faint light falling onto a landing. Felix stepped down, still unable to notice anything strange. But when he looked through the archway, he could see the open oval chamber where he had left everyone and it was...off. The room looked normal, not blurry or hazy or darker, but Felix found that even with his Manasight he couldn''t quite focus on what was in front of him. His eyes kept sliding to the side, making him focus on the walls or ceiling. That''s an odd feeling. They must have set up the wardstones. How do they do it? He knelt down by archway and pushed his hand forward, feeling the jellylike consistency of the air. He ran his hands through it, enjoying the strange feeling even as he saw zero reason for it to exist. His Manasight picked up nothing but the soft, near invisible flow of air Mana. Skill must be too low level or the wardstones are high quality. Without further hesitation, Felix stepped through the jellied air, and suddenly the room was full of people. Harn stood to the side, nearly thirty feet away, staring at one of the murals. It was the one depicting a rolling meadow beside a thin stream. Strange animals cavorted across the fields and they seemed to fascinate the strange man. Vessilia was moving pieces of wood into a pile in the tiered pit, while Atar, surprisingly, helped her. He couldn''t see Magda anywhere. It was apparently early evening, the sun close to setting. The windows weren''t visible here in the central area, but Felix could make out a sliver of light slanting in from one of the side chambers. In a moment, even that was gone, as Evie finished putting a thick blanket up and over the opening. Felix turned his head, noticing all the archways were similarly covered, cloth secured from top to bottom. The preparations made perfect sense when, a moment later, a bright fire sparked alive in the central depression. Atar looked exceedingly pleased with himself as he put his hands on his hips and surveyed his work. Vessilia placed a few more pieces of wood down into it before dusting her hands and climbing out. "Oh! How long have you been there, Felix?" She seemed surprised to see him, though her smile was warm. "I just came down the stairs when I heard you folks making noise," Felix gestured behind him. "Glad to see everyone made it back in one piece." Vessilia made a face, her eyes narrowing and brow furrowing just slightly. "Oh..alright. Well come closer and join us." She waved him over, smiling brightly again. "We have much to do." Though her expression confused him, Felix was happy to move closer to the warm fire. As he walked toward them, he cast a look back behind him and stopped dead. The archway was missing. Felix strode back over to the smoothly made wall, simple stone blocks set with mortar that looked no different than all the rest. He set his hands against them, feeling the thickness of the air where the ward pressed against it. The wall held firm, even as he applied the full measure of his Strength against it. I missed it! How is it doing that? Felix could see no seams, sense no magic. It was just...a wall. Much as before. He turned and moved back to the fire, fully intending to ask Vessilia about the door that was no longer there. But when he drew close, one of the side chambers flapped open and Magda strode in. Everyone stopped, turning to look at the Silver Rank, and she surveyed them all in turn. "We have....much to discuss this night. But before we do, we need our strength. First we eat." The fire crackled merrily, Vessilia adding a stick or two every few minutes. Above the fire a large rack of ribs and other meaty bits were skewered with a wooden pole and turned on a crudely made spit by Harn. It was definitely monster meat, and judging by the thick purple-blue blood that dripped and sizzled from it, that monster was a Hoarhound. Felix had been hesitant to eat it, worried about upsetting his tender stomach, but honestly, it had been a long time since he had fresh meat and he was craving it something awful. And it smelled extremely good. Felix had never had anything quite like it. Harn had added some seasonings to it but it looked like simple salt and pepper, and it didn''t explain how the meat just melted in his mouth. It smelled savory with an edge of chill, like the cooling sensation of mint without the flavor. It was delicious, and he cleaned off four ribs in just a few minutes. After ten minutes Felix leaned back, stuffed. He watched the others eat and enjoyed the heat of the fire. With the power of the wardstones and heavy cloth on the archways, there was no chance any light would escape their room, and he was grateful for it. The fire was warm and comforting after so long upstairs in the dark with only cool stone beneath him. Though he had often overheated during his exertions, it had only left him feeling that much colder now that he was still. The others slowly picked at their food, and Felix could see them flick their gazes toward Magda and Harn, each of them waiting for her to speak. Tossing his bones down to Pit, Felix crossed his arms and waited as well. The minutes dragged by, and Magda seemed to be sorting things in her own head, often fiddling with her food and pushing her sandy brown hair back behind her ears. She even had a strange tic where she''d touch her collarbone occasionally before letting her hand drift back down to her plate. Smacking his head, Felix reached into his satchel and pulled out the golden locket. He stood and walked over to Magda. "Here. Most of your stuff got crushed by the falling building, but I grabbed this before I got out," he slipped the locket into her open hand. "Figured you''d want it back." Magda just stared at her hand for a long moment, and when she looked up at Felix her eyes were round and wet. "Thank you," she managed, her voice catching slightly. "I thought it was lost when I didn''t find it in Harn''s rucksack." She slipped it carefully around her neck, securing the delicate clasp with her large hands with ease. With the triangular amulet resting against her chest, she stood up. Felix took a step back, worried for a moment as Magda loomed nearly a foot taller than him, but she simply turned to everyone and spoke. "I think it''s time to talk." There was a sound of shuffling as everyone, Harn included, repositioned themselves to face their towering leader. Felix walked back to his seat and got comfortable. He had a feeling this was gonna take a while. Magda cleared her throat. "First I wanna apologize, to all of you. You''ve been caught up in something that you didn''t ask for, and it''s my fault." She swept her gaze across all of the Tin Ranks. "Our plan...My plan--no, let me start at the beginning." She walked over to Harn''s rucksack, shuffling a few items around as she kept taking. "There was a Guild operation in the Foglands, put into motion over six months ago, that was bent toward uncovering a set of important ruins." She gestured around them. "This city, in fact. At first, I figured it was just an artifact dive. Get in, find some relics or treasures, and get out. They even planned around the chimeras, going into the interior when most of them would crowd the edges and attack Haarwatch. In fact, the regular Culling went off without a hitch, and while the beasts were distracted at Haarwatch''s walls the crew moved out into the Foglands. In the dead of night." Magda fished out a leather folder, unwinding a cord that bound it closed. "The operation had close to three hundred souls assigned. Most were scholars and such for the Hierocracy, brainy types, but more than a third were skilled fighters. My...Our former teammate, Calesca Boscal was hired on as an Extractor for the operation. It was a high risk high reward outing, something that was right in Callie''s wheelhouse." A thief, Felix translated, taking his eyes off Magda a moment to look at Evie who had put a hand up to her mouth. Her face radiated worry and concern, a stark difference from her previously mounting annoyance. Magda continued. "The Guild lost contact with the operation two months ago. A month later and the Elders were ready to cut their losses. No rescue attempts, not even a lone scout." She ripped open the leather folder, using more force than needed. She passed the opened folder around, starting with Atar. "It was suspicious. Everything about this was kept quiet. Harn and I didn''t know about it until recently, and even then it was like pulling teeth." "Almost exactly like that, in one case," Harn smiled, his scars making it look more like a smirk. The paperwork made its way from Atar to Vessilia who pored over it. Felix glanced over her shoulder, curious. He was met with a wall of handwritten text that was as impenetrable as the wall from earlier. It isn''t just bad handwriting, Felix realized, slightly shocked. Apparently I can''t read. His thoughts went to the Henaari''s journal, still in his pack, filled with scribbles and notes that were basically jibberish to him. Felix had figured it was written in a foreign language, one belonging to a strange new people, and of course he wouldn''t be able to read that. This was different, or at least it felt different. Are the Henaari''s notes in the same language as this? It''s hard to tell through the fancy script here. Magda paced on the other side of the fire, clearly agitated. "When we figured out the full lay of the land, I knew we had to do something. That document right there says it all; they sent men and women out to die for a land-grab." "What?" Evie asked, confused. Felix echoed her confusion. He was missing something. To his surprise, it was Vessilia who spoke up. "Heirocracy law states that if a force takes possession of a land, creates a bastion and defends it against all comers for six months, they gain a provisional hold on the land itself." She looked up from the paperwork, her eyes wide and mouth open. "They meant to take the Foglands as territory?" "Got it in one," Harn smirked. "Took us a lot longer to figure that one out." "But why?" Evie asked. "It''s all just monsters and fog out here." "Because of the resources," Atar said, joining the conversation for the first time. Magda pointed at the mage. "The Foglands are an untouched treasure trove, Evie. The only reason it hasn''t been plundered bare already is the endless fog. No one who enters can sense much, and all information gathering Skills fail to work in here." "Then what''s the point?" Felix asked. "Build an outpost or fortress or whatever, but if you can''t find the resources, why bother?" "But what if you could?" Magda asked. Felix suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, like a spotlight had been shined on him. He almost feel the Tin Ranks'' eyes, making his skin itch. "What if you had a way to counteract the fog?" "Wait," Vessilia interrupted. "You''re saying they found something to see through the fog?" Magda shook her head. "No, they found a way to remove the fog entirely." Everyone went silent. "What?" Atar gasped. His eyes widened and a grin stretched his face. "That''d be the find of the century!" "Exactly, Sparky. That''s why they came out here. The artifact, whatever it is, was found in the center of this city. They planned to come out here, retrieve it, and then build an outpost to defend against the nasties in the mist." Harn hawked a wad of phlegm into the fire, the spit sizzling in the ashes. "A good plan, really." "Except they fucked up. Didn''t know giants had come south. How could they?" Magda kept pacing, never quite going still. "So there we were. We had this information and couldn''t do much with it. The only people we could go to were involved already. So, I came up with a plan." She stopped pacing as she took a breath and released it, as if steadying herself. "We would go into the Foglands ourselves." "But we weren''t allowed," Harn added. "Guild rules. Can''t access the Foglands without a vetted contract. Too dangerous usually, and the Guild doesn''t like to hand a chance at artifacts out to just anybody." "But you''re Onslaught and the Shieldwitch!" Evie protested. "You''re famous. Why wouldn''t they let you go alone?" "We ain''t nearly as big a deal as you seem to think, kid," Harn''s gruff voice was laced with humor. "Sure we got some good strength on our side, and we''re tough, but we ain''t shit compared to some of the folk on the Continent." "So we had to come up with another plan," Magda pressed on, rushing her words. "Trainees." "Damn. Of course," Evie muttered. Vessilia''s mouth firmed into a line as she stared at the Shieldwitch. Atar scowled but seemed unsurprised. "Maybe I''m missing something. What do you mean?" Felix asked. "It means, Felix, that they had to get trainees into a contract so that a foray into the Foglands would be approved. It means, simpleton, that we were used." Atar practically spat the words, his face reddening beneath his flesh colored trash stache. Magda cut in quickly before Felix could retort. "Yes, we did. We used all of ya for this, and I''m sorry," she gripped the fingers of her left hand in her right, clasping them in agitation. "It was always our intention to honor the contract. Reveals and all. But all of this caught us off guard." "We figured it was another surge that took em out." Harn stretched in his seat, metal creaking. "A horde too big to stop, especially with only a hundred guards to protect two hundred noncombatants. We didn''t expect a legion of giants out of the fuckin Hoarfrost, that''s fer sure." "Honestly, we wanted to round out our team with simple but talented folks. People we could help, but who could also stay low profile. Get in, get out." Magda sighed, heavily. "But then politics got involved." The Tin Ranks and Felix all shared a look. The Shieldwitch kept explaining. "The Guild Elders got wind of our plans to bring trainees out into the Foglands to gain their Omens, and they all wanted a say," she shook her head. "Too many cooks in the kitchen," added Harn. Magda scratched the back of her neck, nodding along with him. "Let me guess, the Elders chose me as a favor to my master," Atar spoke up, his voice cutting. "Yeah. Like I said, politics. Even more so for you, Vessilia." The woman in question looked up from the paperwork in her hands, eyes weary. "Of course," she nodded. "I imagine my father made it happen?" Magda shrugged. "We''re newly minted Silver Ranks with a stellar record, you''re a newly minted Tin Rank with exceptional potential. As far as the Duke and the Elders were concerned, it was a no-brainer." Vessilia nodded and sighed. She looked disappointed, though Felix couldn''t quite work out why. More importantly, he eyed his new allies with fresh eyes. It didn''t change who they had been during his time here, but being the daughter of a duke? He wasn''t exactly boned up on his medieval nobility rankings, but that sounded extremely important. "The last choice was taken from us too, but that wasn''t politics. Just run of the mill nosiness." Magda smiled gently at her sister. Evie opened her mouth, but had been rendered speechless. Felix was impressed; he didn''t think that could ever happen. "When Evie found out about the contract, she insisted coming along. Her damn stubborn pride and obvious skill made the decision for us, as well as our timeline," Magda''s smile turned bitter. "It had been over five months since Callie and her team went missing. We were running out of time. So we finalized it, got approval, and here we are." "Neck deep in it," remarked Harn, humor entire absent in his voice. The entire room fell silent, save for the occasional crackle and pop of the fire. Pit looked from face to face, his wings drooping. "Well, we''re here, so we better get to helping, right?" Evie perked up after a minute. She stood and walked over to her sister. "That''s what my big sister always taught me, anyhow." Magda smiled and wrapped Evie in a bear hug. "Thank you, Evie." "Yeah, well," Evie straightened her leathers after escaping the hug. "Callie means a lot to me too. We''ll find her." "Oh excellent!" cried a shrill voice. "You''re best friends and sisters and everything is perfect now. Except we''re still in the middle of enemy territory, surrounded by monsters, without our Omens, and at the mercy of a conniving pair of Guilders!" Atar was practically screaming by the end, veins in his neck and forehead popping alarmingly. Holy shit, this dude''s gonna have an aneurysm. Felix leaned away from the kid, frowning. "Calm yourself, Sparky. You ain''t--" "Shut up, you oaf! This is unacceptable. We paid our fees and you-" "Enough!" The voice was loud and full of an authority Felix hadn''t heard before. He turned in surprise to Vessilia, who glared down at Atar. "Do not be petty, Atar. You are better than this! They have fully explained themselves, yet you insist on clinging to your grievances! We were misled, yes, but it was in service of something greater. I for one would rather be here where I can be of use, helping others in peril." Atar shrank into his seat, face suddenly mortified. She turned toward Magda, the stormclouds in her expression easing up. "I am saddened that you did not choose me for my talents, and that my father has once again mixed into my affairs. But I offer you my complete support. I wish only to help." Silence reigned again as Atar tried to become as small as possible, pulling away from the rest of them, and Magda and Harn both looked at Vessilia like she was some sort of mythical beast. Or so Felix assumed, since he was doing much the same. He was still staring at Vessilia when she turned to him. "And you, Felix? Will you join us?" Felix turned and saw that everyone was looking at him, and he felt his mouth go dry. "Ah," he started, before Magda interrupted him. "Felix, I know we haven''t spoken on the best of terms. I know that I''ve been suspicious and hard on you. So I understand if you don''t wanna risk your life for strangers you met by chance." She took a deep breath and touched her locket, then met his eyes again. "But I''m gonna be honest, we need all the help we can get." Felix scratched his arm, his skin prickling uncomfortably as the warmth of the fire and rising flush competed. "Ah damn. Yeah. I''ll help." He laughed, the sound a little forced. "After all, you''re the only ones who know the way outta here, right?"

Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty – 250 Some disasters can only be avoided if you know they¡¯re coming... On Karell, you are either blessed by the gods, granted a unique power and the ability to gain experience and levels, or you are forgotten. Micah Silver was a boy picked for greatness. Chosen by the gods to bear a mythic power, he longed to take his place amongst the heroes and legends he grew up reading about. Unfortunately, his primary blessing only allows him to travel into the past by sacrificing his class, wealth, and levels--a psychological burden that Micah is reluctant to shoulder. But, even if Micah is unwilling, fate has a way of forcing you to face your destiny... and running away can cost you everything. Over and over again... Experience the start of a time-loop LitRPG Series where a reluctant hero is forced to fight against an impossible catastrophe. Using his talents for enchanting items and summoning creatures, he must retrace his steps and grow stronger in a potentially futile effort to prevent tragedy and protect his family.

Top Web Fiction! Patreon! Amazon Announcement! Hello everyone! I''m here to announce the exciting news that Unbound is getting published! The excellent people over at Mountaindale Press (run by the super cool Dakota Krout) are publishing, and that means Book One - Dissonance! is coming out on May 4th! It''ll be available as an ebook (through both Kindle and Kindle Unlimited), audiobook, and paperback! The audiobook is narrated by the awesomely talented Travis Baldree who did such an amazing job. Pre-orders for the ebook are up now! Pre-Order: Book One - Dissonance! So obviously I''m stoked about this, and I hope you are too. Book One consists of the prologue until and including Chapter 75. Sadly, because it''s going to be available through Kindle Unlimited, all but a couple of those chapters will vanish from RR (and Patreon) per their rules. That will happen around two weeks before the book officially drops. BUT, this doesn''t change how I''m posting. I''ll still be dropping the newer chapters here for free (on Patreon as well, which is 42 chapters ahead), so those of you who are caught up won''t have any issues at all. Also, because the cover rules, check it out below! Thanks to everyone for reading and supporting me! You''re all great.

Being trapped inside of a survival Bunker for the entire duration of his life might have had something to do with that. However, when the opportunity to return to the surface is present to him and his two friends, the man finds a fire he didn''t know he had. When they discover that the world has changed beyond their expectations, it is too late. Changed by the magic that now permeates the surface, they struggle to find their place in the world. Instead of keeling over and giving up, the three friends lean on their strengths and stake their claim on the new Earth. Fighting beasts and elemental ghouls, the trio seek out others, hoping to return humanity to Earth. They will either succeed and provide a haven for the other survivors or be forced to live strangled from opportunity and freedom. Book 1, Dissonance - is out now on KU, audiobook, and paperback!

Chapter Four Hundred And Eighty Four – 484 However, in an effort to rest my wrists, my mind, and get ahead of my writing, I''m going to take December off from posting. I will suspend payments during the month, so folks won''t have to worry about that, and will be back at it on Monday, January 2nd. But a few weeks without looming deadlines is much needed after the long grind. Thank you everyone for your support; past, present, and future. It means so much to me that I can share this work with you, and you have all been a big part of me getting to do this thing for a living. Last update of the year will be on November 30th. Vacation will end (and updates will resume) on January 2nd, 2023. Book 1, Dissonance - is out now on KU, audiobook, and paperback! Order Here!
