The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 16
Damarys had hoped it would be more than a few days before she’d be back with Jelvaic and Arjana, being asked to go deeper into the city, and yet here she was, along with Zeter, Emilie, and Kasyn again while Jelvaic and Arjana gave them all looks of concern. “So, Ichiba Wa?” she asked as…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 15
The droves of people making their way into Yomichi was a sad fraction of what the population used to be like. Where possibly a few thousand at best were making their way back to their homes in the hopes of finding them still intact, these were the lucky few who’d been able to escape. Less…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 14
Zeter was awake well before dawn. The anticipation of what was about to happen kept his mind and heart racing. He’d finished the batch of disks of absolution and today they were going back into Yomichi, this time in the hopes of rescuing Nyla. She was all the way on the opposite side of Autay…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 13
It was difficult not to get angry. How could anyone actually think Akumu was defeated? Of all the gods in the pantheon, Akumu was the only one who chose to live among the people, to rule them directly, to be seen and heard by any and all. This was a test of faith, surely, much…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 12
“You wanted to see me?” Damarys asked as she caught up with Arjana. “Yes, I have something for you.” The woman grinned, showing off her pointed teeth, but it seemed to be meant more as a friendly gesture rather than intimidating. “I knew a number of soldiers who lost limbs in the past,” Arjana went…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 11
Well, no one was going back into the city for a couple of days so Emilie had time to work on her true craft. While Zeter worked on his runes, Damarys went off with Arjana, and Kasyn left to, probably, pray to Akumu, Emilie set herself down at her alchemy workbench. It was fortunate that…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 10
Well, that was twice now that Zeter had needed to run for his life. It was not an experience he ever wanted and really hoped this wasn’t going to become a regular occurrence for him. He’d need to make more disks of absolution since there was no doubt Jelvaic would want them to go back…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 9
“Akumu protect us!” Kasyn shouted as he leapt away from the replacement gate, feeling undead hands clawing at his feet as they reached up from below the ground. More undead were climbing out of the soil in all directions while others stalked out of fields, their gaze locked on Kasyn and his companions. “Get to…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 8
The first thing Damarys did upon returning to camp was to ensure that both Kasyn and Emilie were alright and being tended to in the medical tent. Zeter wasn’t much better off than the other two so he joined the ranks of people being treated. Amber needed some looking after as well and it only…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 7
“So, what’s your name?” Emilie asked once the others had left to go investigate the root cellar. “Adeline,” the young girl replied. “That’s a lovely name,” Emilie brushed some of the girl’s hair out of her face and straightened her collar. Adeline was still crying but softly now as Emilie fussed over her. There were…
