Randidly stood in Selene’s restaurant, twisting in on himself over and over. Memories of witnessing Devick dragging away Duulys Ambar wove themselves together with the strange emptiness he saw in Fiona’s expression, now she had been restricted from reaching for her own image. He opened his mouth to describe what he had seen, believing that the process of hearing that would...

Just one, the other will be out tomorrow.
Randidly’s head throbbed. His eyes ached weirdly. His body, while physically fine, felt strangely light due to the small amount of Nether that he had been able to produce in the last few minutes to run aside his boiling blood. His images still felt heavy from his earlier physical manifestation, which varied so much fro...

One chapter day~
Tatiana stood with her hands clasped in front of her as she looked up at the scrap metal ship sailing down through the usual sky traffic around Kharon to proceed directly to the roof. Emerald moss spirits spiraled together and created a thoroughfare for this special vessel to follow, even as other routes around them were bent away, earning sever...

That morning, Tatiana woke up from her daily one-hour nap a few minutes early, because she felt a slight nudge against her psyche. A direct touch that somehow was also feather-light. She sat up in her bed and considered the sensation; it was not her Skill relating to the actions of Randidly, but it felt quite a lot like it.
After quite a bit of self-searching, she realiz...

The old air raid horns had been blasting for the last half-hour, making Delilah doubt her tingling sense that it was a good idea to rush toward the source of the disturbance in Zone 1. But that subtle Nether Sense the Ghosthound had planted into the core of Expira was quite insistent on this course of action. So she lowered her head had the sky glittering with manatec...

Randidly dreamed about those doors to his locked away emotion. The starting point was the same as always, within the room he had lived in as a child. Sighing, he tried to push himself up out of the plush and bobbing surface of his bed, but instantly the whole dream around him began to tremble.
His expression soured as he felt the extent of the strain that afflicted him. ...

Xershi scowled as he dragged Randidly Ghosthound’s limp body across the threshold; truthfully, he was barely managing to stay upright as he staggered under the uneven yet ponderous weight of their companion. Pullas chatted happily with Fiona as the two women entered through the stone arch into Duulys’s true dwelling.
Xershi followed behind, doing his best to ignore t...

Besides, I'm still struggling with this next little part. I like how that last fight ended, but because it was so different from what I intended, my original plan needs to be scrapped lol.
Back tomorrow. And I want to try and get back on my consistent schedule for April.

With a resounding crack, the flames stuttered and dispersed. The silver lion yelped. Suddenly they were just two men standing opposite each other, Randidly gripping the wounded Acri still stuck in his opponent’s chest. His emerald eyes flickering, Randidly squeezed the weapon and prepared to rip it across-
But when Randidly tried to move, he found himself empty. His im...

Ahah! Take that, Saturday.
The fire stalked around them like the lion it was based on. Each tongue of flame possessed sharp eyes, waiting for a single moment of weakness.
Randidly felt a weird sense of grim relief, held aloft by Duulys’s grasp amongst the sea of silver fire. Everything became the jaws of the lion around him, flaying away his skin, punctu...

Had a change of heart about how this fight will end. So one tonight. Two tomorrow and one Sunday.
Pullas gathered her image more tightly around her body, observing as Duulys Ambar unleashed several thunderous blasts of silver fire into the hole Randidly used to vanish. Huge bursts of light and heat radiated outward. Based on his tightening expression, Randidly h...

All of the movements he had learned started with a step. This one, at this high-level conflict in the Sonara, was no different.
Dreadful Alacrity had Randidly cutting sideways, even as he finished the aggressive thought. His body blurred, destabilizing the surrounding space and allowing him to squeeze himself through even more quickly than should be possible.

Randidly’s eyes widened slightly at the bite of the threat thrown in his face. He clenched his hands. So many forces pressed against him: the heat, the intensity of Duulys’s image, and the constant waves of vicious emotions the man released. The metal bangle on Duulys’s arms glittered from his own silver fire.
Around them, the idyllic scene had almost completely va...

One to start the week. Alright, let's set this up!
One enthusiastic demolitions expert and three observers drifted into the ornate interior of the home of Duulys Ambar. And for this particular project, the wrecker decided to start with a bang.

Duulys Ambar clicked his tongue in distaste as he looked down at the inert form of Mimic. The fool was hollowed out, all of his annoying qualities quashed and sucked out of him. Even his perennially neat uniform was stained and sliced. “This is exactly why you were always a worthless mongrel of a servent. Just like everyone else, you betrayed me in the end.”
He raised his hand,...

Just one tonight. Reminder only a five chapter week, so one tonight and one tomorrow to finish things off.
The floating fireball above the meeting continued to radiate an intense heat. But it gradually dissipated as it bled off its energy with the furious display. Mimic just glared as Fiona sauntered closer. She laughed softly, taking her Fate and dragging the t...

Randidly frowned at the sudden announcement. Fiona stiffened at the word barren. Those emotions raged through her body, seeking to expend themselves and destroy. Her image seethed in the air around her, impotent and too amorphous to stand against the blunt hammer of Mimic’s Skill activation.
Mimic trembled too, driven by his own rising tide of emotion. “The worst par...

Randidly’s senses conflicted as he looked at the creature known as Mimic. Nether could find nothing of significance about this being. In terms of depth or history, he felt curious blank. Yet even the Grey Creature growled that this was a dangerous foe. With its eyes toward survival, this enemy was worth noting.

Duulys paused by the central staircase and turned around. He felt an itch below his skin, one that he needed to scratch before he continued. Heat spread through his body like a contagious disease. “Ah, one more thing before I go. I’ve got a question for you.”
The elegant swan bowed its giant head. “Anything my liege. I am at your service.”

When they reached the thirty-fourth floor, the group agreed to spend some time resting without any spoken communication. They moved apart and made themselves comfortable. This ring was a land of clouds, the group sitting on a fluffy and majestic cumulonimbus that drifted in a sea of similar masses of water vapor. Around them, various other forms of cloud drifted back and forth...

For about three minutes, Randidly, Pullas, and Xershi stood back with their arms folded while the fight raged. Fiona blasted her way through the weakly manifested waves of Yuroach’s clones, the insect-head still reeling from having all his Aether sucked away. She was a god incarnate, violence given free rein to rampage.

As Fiona had suggested, the next several floors passed in a blur that was less business and more just a series of journeys. The group moved through alien landscapes and idyllic valleys, depending on the proclivities of the ring owners. However, they rarely needed to fight.

Amongst the residents of the Sonara, it was a mark of pride for an individual or group to produce a caliber of reaction that could shake the entire construction.
