Hera stopped and raised a fist in a signal to stop. The goggles made by Eirik helped Lysandra and Nethe to see the Empress' movements even while invisible. Everyone started hearing the sound of echoing steps approaching and made sure not to move a muscle. The spell cast by Zestra wouldn't affect any noise they made.
'How far away are they?' Hera asked.
'I want to say 15 to 20 meters...
2023-08-26 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post"Hera, can you hear me?" Lysandra's voice came through the communicators they were all wearing. This was a simple short-range walkie-talkie radio without any magical effects to it. The prison had several measures to detect and stop any signals going into the building. However, when inside, only the more refined signals would be stopped. Things like magically hidden calls, encrypted signals, or ...
2023-08-25 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post"Do you have everything you need?" Lysandra was in front of Hera's door, having just passed a list of questions for her to ask her skill, or whatever it was. Her golden hair was down and her expression was much softer than when she first arrived.
"Yeah," Hera started reading through the questions, "I'm just going to take a moment to see if there are any questions I can phrase better."

Hornet reached out from his chair, but the box he was trying to get was a bit too far for the dwarf, prompting Hera to push it in his direction. He smiled and opened the box, taking one of the slices of pepperoni and passing the last one to Nethe, "Here...

Hey everyone!
I forgot to say this in the last few chapters, but Freya was the character created by our very own LemonGhost! And I want to thank them for being patient and kind. When they got the Guide Tier The story wasn't in a place where I could just introduce a character out of the blue (It was during the whole removing the curse thing with Sammy if I'm not mista...
It took them 3 days to arrive at their destination, and the closer they got, the more serious their conversations became. This wasn't because they were fighting or anything like it, but it was hard to continue being light-hearted when they were thinking about kidnapped people and what could've been happening to them. Becca had no information about what went down in the prison, but they knew it ...
2023-08-18 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Freya joined them, the group crossed to the next room. The Volcanic Island had a very literal name. It was an island being created by an active volcano. The cooled-off magma was under their feet, but it still felt hot despite being solid. At least there was no liquid magma being tossed around. Everything came from an underwater volcano that spat out sediment to the ocean's surface. It was...
2023-08-16 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostDespite Hera's wishes, they didn't leave right away. Becca had to talk with a few people, and Zestra needed to get something from one of his contacts. This gave the Empress one more day to let her dad and her friends know she would be traveling with Becca. She made sure not to mention where she was going since she didn't want to involve anyone with what she was about to do. Zestra also helped h...
2023-08-14 13:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post"Ok, let me see if I got this right. You can summon an arsenal of autonomous weapon constructs with the same intelligence as pretty much anyone, and you can also make a few of them into actual people?" Zestra had an expression of utter disbelief.
"That's the gist of it, but I can only make a limited number of them into people, and there are some requirements for it," Hera nodded. Livy was...

Hey everyone!
Just a small head's up. I made a tiny mistake on the last few chapters.
I have a spreadsheet where I run the calculations for Hera's blades. How much their attributes change from weapon to court member, and the same thing for titles blades. BUT I forgot to change one value when she got to level 34. So everything from luna's dungeon to now was sligh...
Livy slammed the war axe on the ground. Her target was a sheep, but the blow cut the monster like butter. Thankfully, they were inside a dungeon. Otherwise, the sight would be very gruesome. The ground now had a giant crater caused by the impact. Livy turned around, seeing the other Plains Sheep incoming. She opened her mouth and let a torrent of high-pressure water rip apart the one sheep that...
2023-08-09 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostHera walked through the city with Livy on her back. Before she got stuck, she already did her best to hide her legacy, and now that there was so much tension between the guild and everyone else, this seemed even more important. This is why she didn't let them walk around in their bipedal shape. On the other hand, she could have the Leviathan use her Cerulea form and walk around, but if anyone w...
2023-08-07 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostBefore starting the entire process, Hera made sure to tell everyone that she would be busy for a couple of hours. Not that she actually believed it would take that long, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Currently, the Empress was already inside her Private room, the Workshop - Hera's Version, to be precise. Where she would be able to see all the blades she had and where she was training...
2023-08-05 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAfter meeting Rutigan and the council, Hera walked to her home. She didn't bring her tablet on purpose. Her bracelet could still give her location away, but accessing that information involved a lot of bureaucracy that she didn't believe anyone would bother with. Especially since it just looked like she was going on a date with the King, thanks to the dress Fethy gave her.
During that wal...
2023-08-04 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post"Before we begin. Let me make everyone something to eat. Is everyone ok with veggie wraps?" Rutigan asked the group sitting around a square table. Unlike the council room in the palace, where they would all be far from each other, this was a much smaller space, forcing them to be almost shoulder to shoulder. There were no decorations around aside from the candles lighting up the place. Since th...

After leaving the Golden Dragon Archipelago, their trip to Boothudurn went by in a flash. When the group arrived at the Farmer's Delight, some of the people there were surprised by the doorway being activated since they didn't have any records of people going inside. They had to explain what happened and answer a small interrogation that revolved around how they got there without the guil...
2023-07-29 13:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt took almost 4 hours for all of them to be able to reach the pillar where the doorway was located. Adriel had to use a lot of mana to keep the drones from being pushed around by the wind, and because of it, he had to rest between each trip. The good part was that this allowed them to see the two moons in the sky. Even if one of them was just a sliver of light in the black sky. In all fairness...
2023-07-28 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post"Again, it doesn't have an ego. It's just a construct. A mount," Hera said as they walked down a corridor that appeared when they all got their rewards. This should be the dungeon's exit.
"It's still a dragon, you have a freaking dragon, and it's bound to you," Adriel replied.
"Yeah, but it's only worth it to move around with it in the water. If I'm moving on the ground, I should st...
2023-07-26 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAs Hera fell into the water, she could tell the current was strong, but she never expected it to be this powerful. There was no chance for her to move her arms or legs, almost as if she was held on by some invisible force as she kept sinking deeper and deeper. However, just 10 seconds after reaching the ocean, she was spat out inside a well-lit cave. Hera instantly recognized the place as the s...

2023-07-22 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen they woke up during the fourth day of the dungeon. Luna had turned into a pile of seaweed again and was nowhere to be seen. Hera and the others got up and started getting ready for the day. During that time, the Empress told everyone how she found out that the room had two moons, they weren't able to see them because once a month they both overlap and that results in a nigh without any moo...
2023-07-21 13:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe first step in figuring out what was going on with the fish was searching for the marine life in the room. According to Luna, they only moved closer to the surface a couple of times every day. When they were not close to ground level, they would go deeper inside the ocean, in areas where the sun didn't reach. Thankfully, Adriel had his drones or this powered-up version, and he could change t...
2023-07-19 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Hera woke up, she pushed Blue from over her. The controller moved a lot during the night and was now sleeping almost completely on top of the Empress. After getting herself free from that mess of a nest, she stepped out to the edge of the cave. Luna was no longer sleeping where she was before; in its place, there was only another clump of the dried seaweed they were using as bedding.
Hera and her friends were all back on top of the pillar where they came from, sitting around a small pyre that was currently burning thanks to Hera's grease fire spell to fuel the flames. With the exception of Adriel, everyone was eating grilled fish. The elf was a bit tired of seafood and opted to take some of the power bars they had as a meal. After all, it wasn't like they wouldn't have othe...
2023-07-15 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post"Thanks for the ride, Nimbus," Alex smiled as she got off the Griffon, who returned to his bipedal form immediately.
"You're welcome. And with this, I'm done. Right?" Nimbus turned to Hera.
"Yeah. Everyone is here. Thank you, and sorry for working you so much," the Empress smiled apologetically.
"Don't be. I'm glad to be of service, but. Since you are already going to recall e...
2023-07-14 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post"Ok, everyone ready?" Adriel looked around.
"I mean, we will do our best, but it's pretty windy here," Alex scratched her head.
"I know, I think it will work, but if the drone is swept away, I ask you guys to try catching it. Maybe Nimbus could try to reach it if it goes over the edge," Adriel turned to Hera and Nimbus.
"I can try, but if they go too fast, I wouldn't be able t...
2023-07-12 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the sunset, the group made a few lights on top of this pillar while Hera worked on making a place for them to stay. Nimbus did try to find a cave nearby where he could just fly to drop everyone off, but unfortunately, the only cave close by was almost at the bottom of this cliff. The Sentinel could try flying everyone there, and maybe, with the help of the rest of the court, he could make...

"What are we looking for again?" Blue asked.
"For a shell with a green streak on it," Hera replied. She had already told everyone that she might have found a clue to something interesting. However, most of the party was enjoying their break, with Blue and Alex being the only ones who wanted to join her.
"How about that one? That's kind of green," Alex pointed at a giant shell with s...
