Hey everyone!
I have been sick with high fever during the whole weekend (Covid probably considering the fact I can't taste or smell anything) so I'm running a bit behind schedule. I'll be posting the next chapter early tomorrow.
Sorry ...

A knock on my door woke me up. The sun poured through the windows, casting glints of silver and gold over the coins scattered over the table. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the last remnants of sleep, and for a moment I thought I was back i...

I sat at the table in front of a steaming bowl of bean soup. Even though I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast, I wasn’t particularly hungry. The meal was just an excuse to postpone my visit to Elincia’s room.
I chewed slowly, savori...

Ginz locked the door of the workshop and hung a ‘closed’ sign. Despite being barely past noon, Farcrest was practically deserted. Other than guards patrolling the main streets, we barely saw a soul. An eerie silence hung over the city, as if t...

Despite the close ties between Nasiah and the orphanage, the shopkeeper seemed to hate Elincia. And Elincia seemed to fear Nasiah to the point she avoided the shop at all costs. I squeezed my brain trying to come up with a possible cause but the w...

“Are you sure you can keep going? We have been doing it for hours now.” Elincia dried the sweat from her forehead and stretched her back with feline grace. An expression of delight drew on her face.

The strange man attacked.
Firana jumped to the side and raised her sword. She moved so fast it was hard to follow with my eyes. The blades clashed with the sharp sound of iron against iron and, for a moment, I thought the man was going to ov...

When I opened my eyes, Elincia was still sleeping by my side. Technically, by Loki’s side. The Changeling was comfortably curled between us, still in its dog form. I stretched my back. At some point in the night, I had been banished from the war...

I regretted my choice of words even before I finished the sentence.
To say Elincia was pale, was an understatement, she looked like she had seen a literal ghost. She was lying down on a cozy pile of pelts, however, she didn’t look comforta...

“Damn beast!” Elincia said and I realized it was just the Changeling.

Hey everyone, Elra here.
During September I will be posting two chapter per week instead of the usual three. There's a couple reasons for that. First of all, I want to ensure both the quality and the amount of content of each chapter. ...

You know the drill.
- The first place will be commissioned.

Dassyra pulled a round piece of red dyed glass from her bag and brought it to her eye, examining the mountains. Currents of mana swirled inside the piece of glass just like the strands of fire mana embedded into Elincia’s blanket. The glass lens...
