"How in Void's name did the Nighty Knights manage to find something to kill?" Bee asked in shock. "They're only seven years old at most!"
Both Susan and Tony looked at each other.
"Um. Well, you s...
2023-07-05 14:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostOver the next few days, I had a blast. Other than what the soldiers had started calling "The Hot Springs Incident," everything had been rather routine. I followed behind the army, cleaning up the best I could. S...
2023-07-03 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostHarold pulled his hood down over his eyes as he made his way beneath the gates of Alexander. Here in Barleona, they spoke the same language as in the kingdom, but the people looked significantly different. ...
2023-07-02 21:55:55 +0000 UTC View Post"So. It sounds like you released a natural hot spring into camp." Arthur leaned back as he summarized my jumbled explanation. I like all my things neat, but language was way harder than I ever thought it wou...
2023-07-01 03:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostGetting my domain to work the way I wanted was a bit harder than I had expected. When I had fixed particular parts of the castle before, I just told it to focus on repairing certain areas. Now though, ...
2023-06-30 04:09:24 +0000 UTC View PostArthur watched as the god left his tent. Part of him - a part that he was much too afraid to voice - couldn't help but worry about what the little troublemaker would uncover next. Well, maybe it was smart not to vo...
2023-06-26 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostBee had seen better days. She had seen worse ones, too, certainly, but not too many. With each step, she could feel her feet squish into her sodden shoes. Every laborious foot of progress seemed to push the m...
2023-06-24 22:50:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur looked back as he led the army out of the gates. As much as he was excited to be several days ahead of schedule, it wasn't really so simple. Empirically this was the best outcome; they would clear the th...
2023-06-23 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostBee walked back up the column of refugees. She had been a bit worried about their pace this morning, but things had started out alright. The march yesterday had improved on their previous best by a decent amou...
2023-06-21 14:41:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe Warden struggled to hide his frown as he left the council meeting. The contents had been fairly standard, and he really didn’t have much to say beyond his usual advice and some extra tidbits of informat...
2023-06-19 23:15:00 +0000 UTC View PostBee called an early halt the first day. They were little more than a few miles out of sight of Caleb, but most of her charges were grateful for the rest. Apparently, Captain Major's assessment of the pace had be...
2023-06-18 19:40:03 +0000 UTC View PostI watched as Bee led the train of people out of the city gates and crested over the horizon. It wasn't the first time that we had been separated. But it was the first time I had really been on my own. Who knew how large of a c...
2023-06-16 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostArthur was poring over the previous night's reports when his aide let in Miss Bee and her… Master? God? He was pretty sure the black disk was some sort of god, and he certainly didn't question its power. But so far, it hadn't acted like what he ...
2023-06-14 14:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe four men didn't see me at first. They were too busy bickering to look down into the shadows that pooled around their feet. One of the ones carrying a pry bar pushed one of the ones dressed as a soldier har...
2023-06-13 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostArthur groaned, rubbing his temples. Calculations for time to the local quarry and estimated gate repair costs swirled around in his head. He had been hoping to leave in a couple days to follow the remainder of the enemies before the trail w...
2023-06-12 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostBee woke up feeling sore all over. Examining the room around her, she found that someone must have moved her into some temporary hospital. The room was small, barely large enough to contain the small cot ...
2023-06-10 14:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostI surveyed the battlefield, running my sensors across the city. It wasn't in great shape, but the place seemed safe enough. At least the few remaining undead inside were being taken care of. Satisf...
2023-06-09 16:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I finished mopping up the last of the zombie horde, there were a few irregular things to clean up. There were some more skeletons that acted strangely. Again, instead of attacking me like they had in ...
2023-06-07 14:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostBee rushed over to where Arthur trembled on his knees. Leaping, she again tried to spear the tip of her broom through the wraith's chest.
It faded out of existence, releasing Arthur right before she managed to land a blow. Bee whirled around...
2023-06-05 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostMy struggle with the void felt like it took forever. With each nanosecond, it stayed outside of me; I could feel it trying to spread. It wanted to consume. Not in any monstrous malicious way, but more like ...
2023-06-05 02:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Bee finally finished her immediately pressing work, she stood upright and stretched. She finally had a minute to check the notification waiting for her.

2023-06-02 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostHarold was very happy to be on the opposite side of the city when the gates fell. When the attack had started, it was accompanied by a simultaneous assault on the postern gate led by Shades. When t...
2023-05-31 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur faced me, posture tense and blade in hand. In my defense, though, it's not like I could have really told him about the zombies. He had enough trouble understanding me for simple things.
I hov...

2023-05-29 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostGetting to the city of Caleb proved a bit more problematic than expected. Not because they lacked options - Void would fly, of course. The question was, how could it bring Beatrice along as well?
The st...
2023-05-27 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAs Beatrice took the injured man inside the castle, I followed behind. I wasn't sure if she would need assistance, but I wanted to be nearby if it was required. Well, even if the man was being led toward a bed. Yo...

2023-05-25 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBee slowly regained consciousness. She felt groggy like she had just awoken from a long nap, even though it must have only been a few moments after she passed out. The energy the ritual had taken from her was a...
2023-05-24 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostCliff and I navigated through the woods casually as Tanu huffed along behind us. It did seem a bit unfair how much easier this was for me than Tanu, but there wasn't much I could do about the lengt...
2023-05-22 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostBee waited at the table as the other members of the council trickled in for their meeting. Susan was the first to come in, and she shot Bee a worried look. The spy was the only one who knew what they would be ...
