Without delay, each conveyed the orders to the thousands that filled the skies. The area they covered was massive. There were countries that weren’t as large. Yet, it wasn’t them that would perform the at...

The closer everyone got to the vortexes’ appearance, the bolder the Azures became, targeting empyreal cloud forts hourly. The attacks foll...

As they walked, the walls of the structure constantly shifted, forming large windows before closing again. It was a nice touch, making Dallion almost feel nobility. One might say that h...
2023-08-20 15:41:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe next gate… Once Dallion went through it, he would join the ranks of nobility—not the hereditary farce reserved for family members, but the real thing.

2023-08-17 14:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt could be said that technology was based on weakness. With awakened looking over the population, there never was a need for complex and intricate devices.
