Chapter: 667 - Failure in Victory
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala strode across the uneven sand of the arena, her surface area expansion scripts and incredible weight leveling smooth grit along a wavy path as she walked forward, compacting it enough that even Lea didn’t leave impressions with her quick, powerful steps.The fight was over, and such was the culture of the arcane lands that everyone was departing. There was no thought that Tod would be a sore loser, at leas...

Chapter: 666 - Fighting the Beast
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala couldn’t help but feel a bit of nerves as the clearly experienced, Honored wolf-kin stood on the sand before her husband.In truth, it wasn’t due to fear that Rane wouldn’t do well. It was more a general concern for someone she loved going into a dangerous situation.She didn’t like it, but she also wasn’t about to do something to interfere. She didn’t control him any more than he controlled her, ...

Chapter: 665 - Fairy Garden?
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala and Lea stood outside the ether hold that had popped up less than a day after the wedding duel.Its entrance had the appearance of a garden gate. Interestingly enough, it had come to be anchored on the superficial in a hedge on the edge of one of Platoiri’s parks.Such entrances usually didn’t so closely fit their place of establishment, so this was most like a coincidence, but it was still of note.A few ...

Chapter: 664 - Layers Upon Layers
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala honestly found herself in awe at the spectacle she was overseeing.She had been concerned that watching two… diminutive fighters might be comical in some way, but their sheer power and evident expertise removed that possibility entirely.Honestly, she should have known better having seen Thron fight, but her most recent exposure to ‘small fighters’ were the fox-kin, and not only did they essentially not...

Chapter: 663 - To the Duel!
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala strode forth from the House of Blood’s hold, Rane and Lea at her flanks, Terry on her shoulder, and a squad of House guards in tow.The last weeks had been filled with glad-handing and settling back into life within arcane society. They wouldn’t be staying long term—relatively speaking—but they would be there long enough, and their purpose was important enough, that it was critical to not be seen as ...
Chapter: 662 - For the Sake of It
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala saw the blue-rimmed eyes of the hue-man grow at Zamanther’s pronouncement of ‘Eskau,’ but they narrowed again as she suggested they take their ‘issues’ outside.Was he really that unobservant? What sort of idiot is this?-He thinks Lea is hue-folk. He clearly doesn’t have very well-honed magical senses either.-Tala grunted, a few options running through her mind. First, she could correct the error...

Chapter: 661 - Twice
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala watched the arcanes slowly disperse around her—moving away from the former location of the hold of the House of the Frost Lance—feeling a tremendous sense of accomplishment. She’d set out to accomplish exactly this. She’d been opposed, and she overcame.A smile pulled at her lips, and she allowed herself to bask in the victory.The previous hold of the Frost Lance was being added to Ironhold as she co...

Chapter: 660 - The Full Message
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala stood with her hands pressed to the core of the hold that was previously owned by the House of the Frost Lance. Well, they do still technically own it, but not for long.The House was actively evacuating, but her job wasn’t quite done.If she simply ripped the vestige out—even if she just sent it on to the next life—the hold could become unrecoverably unstable. The dimensionality could be lost, along wi...
Chapter: 659 - To the Core
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala’s eyes were locked onto the Pillar of the Frost Lance as she opened her mouth and created a portal. The pressure and magics involved acted so quickly that barely a blink of time passed before the lance of dissolution magic was tearing through the space that separated them.Even so, this Pillar was old, his battle senses honed, and his magics well practiced.The power that he’d been gathering pulled togeth...

Chapter: 658 - Rebuking the House of the Frost Lance
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala stood before the sealed door of the hold of the House of the Frost Lance. She wasn’t visibly armored, though her armor was available in an instant if required.It shouldn’t be, and she was willing to take on quite a bit of risk to keep from being necessary. This was because, more than physical safety, at the moment, she needed to be seen as more reasonable than a fully ensconced engine of war. That was w...

Chapter: 657 - Mother-Daughter Tea
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala and Lea sat in a side room of the House of Blood’s Platoiri hold, servants having just departed after providing a lovely tea service.This ‘side room’ had vaulted ceilings and open walls, looking out onto an incredibly maintained garden, only magical sound isolation between them and the view.Lea was still looking around with obvious awe at the ostentation of the hold.To be fair, the sanctum had some of...
Chapter: 656 - Shadows and Void
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala sealed her helmet entirely as it seemed that her dissolution breath wouldn’t be of use in this fight. Well, it wouldn’t be useful, unless she wanted to win by dint of forcing him to leave the ring, and that wouldn’t be… satisfying.It also wouldn’t prove what she needed to show for this to be a success.As such, she lunged forward, Flow elongating into the form of a glaive, her proportions entirely ...

Chapter: 655 - We Must Clash
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala tried to meet the gaze of each of those present as her words hung in the air. Even so, it was Pillar Sanguis who finally responded. “Let’s get our other guests out here. If I am not mistaken, you can allow Eskau Meallain to speak with us while not having her breach her banishment, is that correct?”Tala nodded. A moment later, Rane, Terry, and Lea appeared around her. As they’d been watching via slat...

Chapter: 654 - Eskau of War
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala’s perception swept through all those around her, realizing that she’d removed all her backup during the walk over to the hold of the House of Blood. She could bring them back with an ease that these people likely didn’t realize, but even so, she was momentarily alone.Rane, Lea, Terry, and even Eskau Meallain were watching right at that moment—Alat having set up their viewing slabs as soon as Tala en...
Chapter: 653 - Borrowed Authority
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala accepted the referred accolades for her champion’s success while Rane stood by her side, only a small smile—which tugged at one side of his mouth—ruining his otherwise stoic demeanor.The celebration was continuing apace, several other fighters already having clashed for fun, accolades, or over some slight or other.No one else challenged Tala, and the rest of her family remained unmolested at least wit...
Chapter: 651 Bonus - The View of the Houses
Previous__________ToC__________NextPillar Ze’ev, lesser scion and local representative of the House of the Lupine Moon, felt his hackles rise, even as his ears shrank back despite his best efforts. By the great moon above, he barely kept either a growl or a whimper from passing his lips, he knew not which would have won out, to his great shame.The Black Legion.If there was any room for doubt, he would have laughed at the sheer foolishness of su...

Chapter: 652 - Challenge
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala honestly didn’t know what she expected from the arcanes of Platoiri at her pronouncement, and that was likely a good thing as any expectation would likely have been entirely wrong.There was a reasonable moment of silence as everyone simply processed what she’d said then… nothing.There were no protestations of doubt, nor proclamations of support for the fight, nor even pronouncements of terror.Nothing....

Chapter: 651 - Gifts and Reasons
Previous__________ToC__________NextTala stood tall in the Revered City Lord’s temporary throne room as silence practically resonated around her.The gold and iron dasgannachs flowed across her exterior, creating beautiful patterns as their various tendrils coiled and intertwined without losing connection with the rest of the singular dasgannach of each type, even as they continued looking for material to devour.She felt something within them, an...
