  1. Jakun stared over the chasm, eyeing the distance. It had to be a good hundred, two hundred feet across, wrapping around an island in the center, the lich’s goal. Teleporting across would be so easy, just the matter of a spell, but it would fail. Others had tried, and had ended up falling into the void only halfway across. Jakun wasn’t sure what it was about the chasm that stopped extra-dimensional travel, but it negated nearly all of his spells. He needed to find another way. People had tri
  2. The Faro yanked at the bedsheets, nearly tumbling off the bed as the sheets snapped back at him. This was their third room in nearly an hour, and he was already sore, but at the rate the tigers were going through people, he would have to keep this pace up just to match them. Pasiphaë was already working on another room, the two alternating, though Reinard took a little longer on his rooms. It wasn’t his fault he could barely reach the areas he needed to clean. He was just grateful the Egaro wasn
  3. “No. Absolutely not.” Amnor Sen approached the two, a scowl on his face. Taking a seat, he stared between Jakun and Jeremy, barely able to believe his ears. “Jeremy, of all the hairbrained schemes you’ve had…” “It could work. I’m not saying I want to go through with it, but I totally could. How hard could it be? Besides, if they let Cayden Cailean partake in the trial, why not me? And why not Jakun? Think about what we could accomplish Amnor Sen. You could be the Herald of Shelyn,
  4. Faes let out a sigh as he stretched out on the bed. He could see what looked like bloodstains on the bottom sheets, and the half-drow frowned slightly. Reusing old sheets, likely those from the massacre that had taken place when Cassiel first set out. It did not speak well of their patron. Just how much of the Aldori was a sham? They had been destroyed when Chorrol the Conqueror had arrived with his dragons two hundred years ago, and the half-drow wondered if they could have made any decent reco
  5. Darkness became light, the lich’s eyes opening into a dark room. His eyes picked up the light from under the door, bathing the entire room in a glow. Jakun was back… and so was his arm. The amurrun swung his arm around, getting a feel for his new body. Everything seemed to work properly, he just needed to place his spells. This body was nice and fresh, fur and skin unbroken by its death. Opening his phylactery, the lich waited for his illusion to pass, his heart twisting in pain at everythi
  6. The porneo was almost filled to the brim with tigers, Galen looking around in amazement. He could smell the hormones raging in the room, not a few of the tigers kissing each other as their hands roamed. There was a sudden squeal, a young tigress running toward Galen. “Fuck, it is you! Iason’s fucker! I can’t believe I’m meeting you-” she exclaimed, before a hand gently guided her away from the confused tiger. “”I’m sorry, but Galen is not seeing anyone today,” Aedan said, a soft smile

    Chapter 38

    DEVYN Lenya morning couldn’t come soon enough. A chance to get out of the house, an opportunity to go to school in wolf form, Devyn was overjoyed to finally have things going his way. “I’m walking with you.” The wolf stared at his mother in muted horror. He left the house every day to escape her, and now she wanted to walk with them to school? “Oh don’t give me that look. Dylan is late, I doubt he’s coming,” Margaret said. “Jason has both your lunches. Remember, you’re
  8. “I got it!” Kiba frowned at the strange words coming from the halfling’s maw, the kobold doing his best to figure out exactly what it was Linzi had got. She’d been trying to teach him Taldane, but it was slow going. Kiba’s mind was having issues figuring out how he was supposed to fit war, famine, and disease all into one word for death. They sat in front of a small hearth, tables spread through the room as they waited for Lapis. Linzi had said something about the catfolk probably head
  9. Looking at the glowing blue portal with the image of a small city in the center, Jeremy had to admit he was scared of their catfolk companion. Gaining strength and power was one thing; he could understand training and hard work, but Jakun had done all of this in two months, and Jeremy had no idea how he had managed it. “Come on Zephyr, I know it’s a big glowing hole, but you need to go through,” Amnor Sen grunted, trying to push his horse toward the portal. Zephyr snorted, resisting wi
  10. “Remind me to never let Lapis plan our expeditions in the future.” A slow flame dried Faes’ robes, the kineticist shivering in the chill of midnight. What they thought had been a ford was nothing more than a patch of deep, slow moving river. It had been foolish to swim it, but Valerie had insisted, and it had nearly cost them Linzi’s pony. Nearby, Kiba was hacking up bucketfuls of water, the kobold another casualty of the former paladin’s haste. His lizard was trying to dry itself on a
  11. It amazed Jakun how people could get used to anything. His arm had been missing for only a week and already the amurrun had found sleeping on his back helped him sleep better, without pushing any weight on the missing appendage. He couldn’t wait to regain his arm. It would take time; they needed to get to Absalom before Amnor Sen would help him end this body. For the past day, Jakun had been searching for ways to cross the ocean, but he couldn’t figure out a good way to cross the water. Aft
  12. Tigers standing nude in the open, kits being told explicit things… Reinard couldn’t believe it. No, that wasn’t true, he believed it alright. The Egaro were just fucked up enough to actually do shit like that. And Reinard found himself staring at the Egaro they passed in the boat on the way to the porneo, wondering, had they been to these places? Did they stare at each other naked without shame? How could anyone do such a thing? “We aren’t anywhere near the nudists,” Galen chuckled. “A

    Just a quick reminder that there is no such thing as an Avatar the Last Airbender movie. If you watch anything relating to Avatar the Last Airbender, it should be the cartoon series, followed by Legend of Korra. Sincerely, a concerned reader who would never want anyone to be hurt by a nonexistent movie.

    Mmm, werewolves knotting and forcing their lovers to cuddle... oops, that's my kink Masterfully written as always.
  15. Kiba slid off Khemet’s back with a whimpering groan, collapsing on the ground as Lapis dismounted easily. How they had gone all day without a break crossing hills and rivers, was beyond the kobold, but he was glad they were stopping now. Until he was scooped up by the cat yet again, only to be deposited on Linzi’s nag. “Kiba needs a break…” the kobold grumbled. “Kiba needs to learn to push himself. We’re making the trading post today, and tomorrow we will deal with these… paladins
  16. Erith stared at the bags of food with a quiet frown. He was never quite sure which to buy; these were for actual dogs, not werewolves. But he had to give Gara something to do during the full moon, or risk coming back to a destroyed apartment. Antlers were a good choice, but they always left him feeling empty after the moon. “Wild Streak. It’s healthier in general.” The elf jumped almost guiltily, whirling around to find an aging human behind him. Long silvery hair was tied back to show
  17. Lapis handed the reins of his horse to a terrified looking stableboy. Scratching Khemet behind the ears, the amurrun let out a deep sigh, looking at the large manor where Kiba and Faes were no doubt trying to find their next adventure. Or trying to get money out of the locals. Khemet darted forward suddenly, eliciting a scream from the human, and a squeak. His neck bent, and he started licking a wriggling body, Kiba’s thin voice scratching at Lapis’ ears. “Off cat! Kiba is not for lick
  18. Amnor Sen led Zephyr down the gangplank, the horse visibly unhappy about the circumstances. Nearly two weeks aboard a swaying vessel had done no good for the animal, and his legs were shaking as they set foot on the docks of Sothis. Amnor Sen was having the same issue, and he was pretty sure Jeremy shared it too. The cleric had been rather quiet over the last few days, and the change unnerved Amnor Sen. He wasn’t sure if Jeremy was plotting something, or still coming to terms with the fact
  19. Tiganides for breakfast and a cup of a diluted drug. It was such a great way to start the day. Setting the cakes on a plate, the tiger heard a loud thump from the bedroom, a chuckle escaping him despite himself. His bonded was awake. A few minutes passed before the Faro joined him in the kitchen, complaining grumpily as Galen lifted him into a chair. The tiger squeezed the fox’s butt playfully, checking to make sure his diaper was clean. Other than the incidents when they had first started livin
  20. His body hurt more than it had a right to. Jakun dropped Ivris, the dragon turned bunny growling as a bolt of ice shot at the lich. Jakun didn’t even notice the attack, his flesh absorbing the cold harmlessly while his mind tried to handle the fact that his left arm was dangling limply by a single tendon. “Fuck... “ The catfolk closed his eyes, fighting a wave of nausea. He was alive, there was no way an injury like this could kill the undead amurrun. But there was something about seei

    If you're referring to the trick Jerric did with the plants, that's more augmenting your energy with the world. It's not a talent that is widely known, and is generally a skill only healers learn.

    As a mage, his ability to create illusions was tied to his energy, essentially his life force. By casting spells, he removed years from his life. Given the size of a particular illusion he cast shortly after Queen Erin's death, it is unlikely he made it past 30 before his energy was depleted.
  23. He hadn’t slept under a blanket in ages, and Kiba had to admit he missed it. Sure, he was sleeping on the floor, wrapped up in the warm cocoon of a spare sheet while the dark one owned the bed, but the kobold didn’t actually mind the floor. It reminded him of some of the simpler nests back under the sycamore, back when things were more peaceful, before King Tartuk and his exile. Hunger gnawed at his belly, Kiba chittering quietly in annoyance. He was never this hungry before; the tribe

    Dowager kings do exist. By most definitions of the word, it is an adequate description of his new role. Granted, you see it more often used irl to describe widows and former queens regents, but on Astara it is a position of great respect. Not to mention that Finley is a widower himself; he was mated to Zaddis, even if Zaddis never changed him. He fits the definition in all but gender.

    Chapter 37

    JASON His dreams were filled with fire and guards. Throughout the night, Jason woke up in cold sweats, shivering at the false memories of being burned alive, suffocating from bleach, or being attacked by elven guards. Even Devyn was helpless against his dreams. All the wolf could do was try to lay across his brother and hope the weight comforted the neko. Finally, Jason decided he’d had enough. He wasn’t going to get any more sleep. The floor chilled his feet as he stood up
