Tessia took another step forward, less hesitant this time. “A-Arthur? Is that you?” she muttered once more, her voice getting caught in her throat.
Every one of the soldiers, augmenters and conjurers alike, had their heads turned to face our leader as she approached the man sitting atop the hill of corpses, as if in a trance.
Suddenly, the silence that had filled the cavern...
2017-07-10 05:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis is an old extra chapter that I had lying around for some of my veteran pledges! I thought now would be a good time to just let the rest of my pledges see as well! Just a light-hearted chapter that took place back in volume 2-3. (It has nothing to do with plot)
Enjoy :)

2017-07-06 17:30:15 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the tense and gloomy air within the cavern, it was obvious that this battle had caught all of us by surprise. We were usually all capable in battle, but these past few months of repetitive excursions—hoping to find any signs that a mutant might be close—had left us dull and sloppy.
A few teams had already regrouped and were taking a rest while the injured and deceased were sent b...

My stomach lurched at the scout’s foreboding words.
This is it, I thought. This was what we were down here for. After this was over, I would be able to go back home for a bit and sleep in a real bed, eat a seasoned meal cooked for taste, not for sustenance. Yet why was I so afraid?
“Leader, I was able to do it.” Th...
2017-06-25 18:28:25 +0000 UTC View PostI feel like I made a mistake today when I read through all my reviews of my novel. Within an hour, I could literally feel my confidence pouring out of my ears despite the hundreds of positive reviews that TBATE had accumulated throughout the year.

I gave the leader of the Twin Horns a large hug before greeting the rest of her party.

“Darvus, switch positions with Stannard!” I swung my blade, creating an arc of wind that knocked away the armored gnoll—a nasty mana beast that was more like a bipedal, rabid dog—that had tried to catch me off guard.
“Careful, Leader! If you die on us, your grandfather will murder us all!” Darvus warned, a wide grin visible underneath hi...

“Grandpa…” My granddaughter’s eyes softened as she hesitated. However, from my unrelenting expression, she hardened herself, raising her sword. “I understand.”
I nodded approvingly. “Integrate.”
My body burned with untamed excitement as I rele...

2017-06-03 22:19:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe only stop we made was at the stable to pick out a few horses for our trip after going through the teleportation gate. We needed to go a bit out of the way to find horses accustomed to going through teleportation gates, which caused Professor Gideon to fidget with impatience.
The man was a nervous wreck throughout the trip. He said very little after going through the teleportation gate,...

I quickly sheathed my sword and released my friend. Emily Watsken had been the only girl my age besides Kathlyn that I had spent any considerable amount of time with. Her master, Gideon, came in and out of the castle when he wasn’t engrossed in new gadgets and inventions that he believed could help out in the war.

Tess sputtered into a series of pained coughs as the basilisk tightened its grip around her wa...
