The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 44
The broken runes thrummed in Kasyn’s mind, each one drawing him towards them as though they yearned to be repaired. It was more than just a vague direction, though. Instead, he knew the path he’d need to follow to find each one. Pairing that knowledge with the rough map they’d taken from the Tower of…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 43
They stood in front of Nemuri no Shiro while Ketty Pordis prepared the teleportation circle. Damarys had never given the castle much thought before now. It was just another part of the city that she’d never explored before, much like the Toshokans and the Sages tower. Now, she and Kasyn were preparing to enter the…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 42
That night, Kasyn slept with the circlet on, not daring to take it off for fear of the self doubt and recrimination he knew would bombard him. As it was he still felt the loss of Zeter deeply. He’d been a friend and ally through so much and now, like Emilie, he was gone. Most…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 41
Damarys stood froze on the ground, shocked by what she’d just seen. One minute, Zeter was standing well away from the dragon, the next he’d turned into a blur that streaked forward and threw Kasyn out of the way of the dragon’s claw. Now, only a cloud of dirt could be seen where Zeter last…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 40
It was a good thing Zeter already had his barrier up. The dragon attacked so quickly that there was no way Zeter would have had enough time to react. Even still, the force of the blow sent them all flying backward. Only Kasyn remained near the dragon, his invisibility failing as the dragon fought to…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 39
The days crawled by but the weeks flew and before Kasyn knew it, Jelvaic and Arjana were calling a meeting with him, Zeter, and Damarys. He knew the chances of being sent off right away on some new mission was likely so he left out enough food for Jasper, his pet rabbit, and made sure…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 38
With her prosthesis being repaired, there wasn’t a lot for Damarys to do. She wasn’t accustomed to having days with nothing going on and her week of so-called rest was wearing on her. Before Akumu’s fall, she’d either be out hunting or practicing with her bow. None of the neighboring farms needed or would accept…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 37
Zeter slept for three days. When at last he awoke, he was stiff, hungry, and parched. A pitcher beside his bed was the first thing he reached for. Water never tasted so good and he downed the entire thing in a few gulps. Next to the pitcher was a small loaf of bread, some cheese,…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 36
Kasyn hoped no one would bother him as he made his way home. For a brief period of time, after the fight with Jerlinzia, he’d felt good again, like his old self, but the worry and fear began to encroach upon him yet again. “You don’t need to check on me,” he called back to…

The Fall of Akumu: Chapter 35
Damarys wondered if she should do something about Zeter but he looked comfortable enough where he lay. Might as well let him rest for now. In the mean time there were questions that needed answering. “How long have I been gone?” Jelvaic asked. “We’re not sure exactly,” Damarys replied. “You were replaced by a fiend…
