Two days before Kaelis’ arrival to Talo
The air tore open with a sound like screaming glass.
A jagged rift stretched wide in the middle of a forgotten clearing, its edges swirling with violet light. The grass around it blackened instantly, curling as if bur...

The southern stockade was a new outpost hastily raised after Outpost Velder fell. Right now, it shook with every impact that banged against its walls. The guards within jabbed spears through gaps in the timber; steel clanged against bo...
2025-09-11 21:47:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe black banners of conquest hung tall above the throne, each one marked with the sigil of Helmutt’s empire. Beneath their weight, the Emperor sat sprawled on his gilded seat, one hand resting on the armrest while the other lazily drummed his fingers against the hilt of his sword. His court wa...
2025-09-09 22:00:55 +0000 UTC View PostElria straightened from her crouch, turning away from Enya. She walked toward the great portrait above, her bare feet whispering softly against the wood. The canvas continued to vibrate and ripple within the gilded frame as she approached. Each second spent gazing was another second of intensity....

Classic.

The duck let out a sound that shouldn’t have existed. Somewhere between a roar and a quack, guttural and heavy, like something ancient echoing out of the wrong throat.
A soft chime cut through the tension. Not external. Not real in the physical sense. It pulsed straight into Dante’s sku...
2025-09-03 04:04:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt was the kind of question you only heard at bars. Some drunk guy leans over and slurs it into the table like it was a riddle from God.
Would you rather fight… a hundred duck-sized horses... or one horse-sized duck?
Dante had fielded it before—usually mid-buzz, w...

Hey, all! So, I have a new story concept that I came up with a while ago and I've written a few chapters of it. I didn't want to just have it sitting there, so I'm uploading it on Patreon so I can force some accountability on myself. I am still writing my other story Until The World Falls...
2025-09-03 04:01:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe door groaned open on rusted hinges, spilling the faint Carrier’s Light across a large chamber.
Enya blinked, then stepped inside.
The room was vast—larger than any she’d seen yet. Four pillars climbed toward the high ceiling, but one was broken through the center, leaving th...
2025-09-02 21:12:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe search for more clues carried them deeper into the manor’s left wing. After passing by the center foyer, they came across the first door to a chamber.
It was nothing like the sprawling kitchen or the eccentric library. The room was plain, narrow, and carried a faint scent of mildew. A...
2025-08-28 21:39:31 +0000 UTC View PostAfter running in a circle around the balcony, Enya and the rest of them made their way back down to the first floor. The Dullahan was still above, walking terribly slowly.
Pell made it down first, spinning around to look above. “Summon t...
2025-08-26 22:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe shelves stretched from floor to ceiling, climbing higher than the lantern’s weak glow could touch. Dust clung to every seam of the wood, thick enough to stir with each passing breath. Enya tilted her head back, eyes flicking from row to row.
“It has to be here somewhere,” she said...
2025-08-21 21:36:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe gate groaned as it opened, hinges dragging against the stone beneath it; whatever the sound, it still opened flawlessly without resistance. Enya followed behind Pell as he and Digsby pushed it open and entered first. She tightened her grip on the Carrier’s light, providing much needed radia...
2025-08-19 21:52:32 +0000 UTC View PostElria’s eyes narrowed. “Where did you get that thing?” Her voice was low and sharp.
Pell glanced at the bear dangling from his hand. “This? Felicity gave it to us.”
“Felicity?” Elria’s expression twisted in confusion. “What do you mean Felicity gave it to yo...
2025-08-14 22:42:25 +0000 UTC View PostEnya pressed her palms hard against her ears. The wraiths’ shrieking still clawed at her skull, a constant, grating pitch that refused to fade. All she had to do was endure—just long enough for her newly enhanced summons to tear the enemies apart.
Digsby moved first. The giant rat skele...
2025-08-12 22:35:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe mist churned around them like it was alive, a will of its own trying to smother them. One by one, more and more wraiths broke through the fog. And one by one, did they fall to Pell’s harvester.
Ted.E’s claws scraped against the dirt, each heavy step sending a shiver through Enya’s...
2025-08-09 20:37:09 +0000 UTC View PostA crude bone bridge stretched into the fog, fading into pale emptiness. The mist still clung thick to the air, but Enya had managed to guide the construct all the way across. At roughly twenty-eight meters out, two massive bone spears jutted from the far end, driving themselves deep into the grou...
2025-08-07 21:22:00 +0000 UTC View PostEnya knelt down a meter away from the edge. Pell’s hand was on her shoulder, just in case he’d have to fling her backward if something went wrong.
She held out both hands, facing each other. Between them, a large spell circuit made of mana that only she could see appeared. Five spell pa...
2025-08-05 21:46:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe death remnants were out in full force. Their smiles never faltered, their footsteps never broken. They didn’t rush, but they still gave chase, silent and tireless, just like the undead. They were shadows taken form, wearing a human’s skin.
Enya and Pell tore through the village path...
2025-07-31 22:51:17 +0000 UTC View PostPell and Enya sat on cushioned chairs, staring at Felicity, a mysterious woman that had ambushed them inside the church. To Pell, it was obvious the type of person she was. The large black hat left nothing to the imagination.
A witch.
They were people that used witchcraft, abilities a...

The inside of the church was brighter than expected.
Tall pedestals lined both sides of the room, each one holding a softly glowing crystal. The crystals were like the ones from Sable’s dungeon, except that they looked slightly different. Each li...
2025-07-24 22:04:11 +0000 UTC View PostEnya leaned in slightly, her voice hushed.
“Pell,” she whispered, keeping her gaze on the village leader across the table. “Something’s off. I can’t explain it, but... something here is wrong.”
Pell didn’t answer.
His skull shifted slightly, sockets narrowing. He w...

Not yet, at least.
They simply stared—bewildered, uncertain—at the girl walking calmly toward them with a skull nestled in her arms like some kind of porcelain doll. She gave a polite nod as she approached.

I will be taking a week break, and most likely begin posting chapters for Book 3 of The Little Necromancer next week. The publishing deal I've been working through has been on a bit of a hiatus, and future of my story is uncertain right now. I don't want to just...
The merchant caravan came just after dawn, trundling up the northern road like a snake of color and creaking wood. Brightly dyed banners fluttered from each wagon, their colors dulled by age and dust, but still proud. A patchwork of voices, bartering calls, and animal noise spilled out from their...
2025-07-03 21:58:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun had risen higher by the time Pell stepped out of the orphanage. He paused just past the gate, sending one final look over his shoulder.
Elara stood in the doorway, arms folded loosely, her braid drifting slightly in the wind.
“No one’s come around lately, right?” he aske...
2025-07-01 21:55:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe orphanage stood atop the hill like a weathered relic of gentler times, its old stone walls laced with ivy and faded sun-dressed charm. Morning light poured over its slanted roof and caught the glint of glass panes, streaked and imperfect, but still stubbornly intact after decades. A copper wi...
