Call of the Void chapter 13
It was time to leave. Devon had done a lot of research on this place, and while he had no method of escaping, he did know there was an emergency signal in place. Aside from sequestering trial participants, The Quiet Room had been designed as a fal...

“I FELT him die,...
2025-12-06 00:40:26 +0000 UTC View PostStepping out of the shadow passage, the three of us looked around carefully. Callie had Gossamer drawn, Devon had a pair of familiar demon horns, and I had my wings spread, my body currently inhabited by no less than four demons. Leviathan, Azazel...

“Oh, if only that were possible,” I said dryly. “Sadly no, I’m here to save your life aga...
2025-12-04 04:07:31 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned in relief as the last of the incredibly dense soul restoration energy was burned off. It felt familiar, like a much denser version of the belt of spiritual calming Benny had made all those years ago. Of course, even the wish wouldn’t h...

2025-12-01 22:25:38 +0000 UTC View PostI was already prepared for an attack as soon as Roland reacted. I didn’t manifest my full Domain, not wanting to give too much away, but I did trigger the staff, and summon an upgraded Mornax in front of me.
The air blurred, and suddenly a...
2025-11-28 20:43:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a long walk to the council chamber. Or rather, it felt long. Callie was with me, but the others mostly stayed behind. They didn’t want to see me marching off to get locked up for days on end with potential enemies. My parents came with us...
2025-11-28 02:40:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe process of Azazel divining the future was…complicated. Mostly because it was almost completely new to me. It wasn’t based on Doom Sovereign, or on normal Ascendant divination as I’d heard of it. It was more…abstruse. As Azazel ex...
2025-11-27 03:27:58 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I took my seat on my throne, I called for my cabinet. I had to admit, it was a cool feeling sitting up above the throne room, looking at at the rows of bench seating filled with my subjects. I had Archie fly out to get them, and once he...
2025-11-26 01:48:35 +0000 UTC View PostI needed to sit down. Luckily, I was standing inside of a massive marble palace with lots of seating. So I found a chair and flopped into it, trying not to wince at the clang of armor on marble. “Remind me to get you guys cushions,” I told Aza...
2025-11-25 03:07:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was the sensation of falling. I was, of course, NOT falling. But that didn’t stop me from FEELING like I was. The world spun around me like a vortex, and I pitched over as I stood up, smacking into th...
2025-11-21 20:18:30 +0000 UTC View PostI found myself alone. No connection to Callie, no friends around to bounce ideas off of, none of my normal distractions. This was, of course, by design. This was an important step. I felt like this was a tipping point, like I was being guided to d...
2025-11-21 01:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostWe contacted Wulf through Ellie, who had been watching his back during his investigation into Derran’s death. Derran’s death was definitely within the scope of our investigative direction, so we didn’t exactly refocus, but we did have ...
2025-11-20 03:04:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter adding the fifty four hundred points to Callie’s Creation stat (she paid with ten charges of Adherent Fire, which I couldn’t access through the bond and was VERY interested in researching) and binding her first page, Callie and I decided...
