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…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 6
Zeter felt the disk of absolution crack as the last of the undead went down to the barrage of attacks. On the one hand, it was a relief to know it worked against attacking the undead. On the other hand, it was broken now and he didn’t have any more disks on him. “Let’s hope…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 5
Damarys was left without any real introduction as to who these people were, what their skills were, or anything. She supposed it was more than she had expected of her grandfather. At least he’d let her join. “I’m Emilie,” the other young woman spoke up to break the awkward silence. “I’m an alchemist that dabbles…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 4
Everything ached. No, that wasn’t true. Only Jelvaic’s right eye socket hurt but the pain was so immense that it seemed to fill his whole body. The usual aches and pains inherent with being a farmer were gone now, thanks to the surge of healing everyone experienced, leaving him with the pain in his empty…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 3
Nowhere was free from crime, not even Akumu’s paradise of Yume. It was just a bit harder to get away with it. That is, unless you knew the right secrets. It was those secrets that brought Zeter to an empty barn on the western side of Autay Wa in the predawn light of morning. The…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 2
Kasyn’s feet were sore and his whole body was weary. They’d been walking for weeks, stopping in each state to gather up the soul tithe on their long march to the capitol. He’d been to Yomichi only one other time and that was when he was a child. His only memories of the visit were…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 1
Damarys Kyla sat still behind the thick brambles she was using as a blind. Her left hand was closed around her bow and an arrow rested easily in her right, ready to draw and fire. She’d been out hunting for the better part of the week and today she was set to return home. She…
