Much to her chagrin the blue orbs had disappeared and Taniel added a biting remark about scared girls. The rest weren’t any better, suggesting that she had been seeing things.She thought she had seen the shape of two dogs behind the eyes, but in the shifting shadows of the caver...
Christmas Holiday Schedule
Hey everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas this year!I've been pretty busy with family stuff, so I'm afraid there is going to be a delay on the chapters this week.However, I don't plan to shortchange you all, and next Monday there will be (3!) chapters released at once! So there is that to look forward to!There is also a little project I have had an artist friend working on as a proof of concept that I wanted to share wit...
Chapter 38 - Taxes - Lesser Demon Access
Get it here! Or read below!---Chapter 38The doorframe trolley cart looked a bit ridiculous, but the guard rolled it right up to the barrier.“Listen girl, I’ll only explain this once. Once the hole’s in place, you go on through and don’t dawdle. Protocol says more than thirty seconds is a violation, but if ye take more than half that I’ll yank it out and fry your ass.”“Ok.”Everyone was watching the noisy cart, but they appeared a b...
Chapter 34 - Road to Neftasu - Cultist Access
Get it here, or read below!---Chapter 34Marcus, Taniel, and Tanyan hadn’t bothered to look in her direction, but that quickly changed when she slid onto a seat beside Tanyan. They were staring at her as if she had grown a second head; the two monks even had their mouths hanging open!“What?” She said, a tad too loudly. Marcus just laughed.“Princess, you clean up quite well, it really is a shame you didn’t accept my offer…”“You look...
Chapter 33 - Waystation Four - Cultist Access
Get it here or read below!---Elania’s head was pounding as she slowly woke up. She dimly remembered closing and locking her door before falling into the decidedly plush bed. She had not figured out how to dim the bright white crystal that was now glaring down on her face much to her dismay. It did confirm that she wasn’t going to wake up summoned to another world after every hangover though.The light in her eyes was enough to prompt her to si...
Chapter 37 - Welcome to Neftasu - Lesser Demon Access
Get it here or read below!---Their baskets of Moss were taken and set aside under the eye of another guard while their escort led them through one of the smaller doors. There was another entryway they had to pass through and then a short but maze-like path through the stone walls. The shiny metal exterior had led Elania to believe the interior would have been the same, but it was closer to the stonework of the ruins she’d seen or the cultist du...
Chapter 32 - Civilization - Cultist Access
Get it here or read below!---Chapter 32Marcus led them down a large street that left the central area of the waystation. It seemed to be one of the main drags for the inhabitants and there was a bit of foot traffic. Elania realized that it might be ‘nighttime’ as there were some large crystals hanging from the ceiling of the cavern but only one in five were lit up.‘That makes sense if they do what I think they do. Who needs electric lights ...
Chapter 36 - Checkpoint - Lesser Demon Access
Get it here or read below!---Chapter 36Burning excess Power while holding onto hostages and keeping track of Marcus and Taniel while her arm was rebuilding itself and her insides were melting was a trial of endurance. Elania let off several blasts of energy into a far-off wall, which caused the others to start demanding things of her again while Tanyan frantically tried to rein them in. The truth was she wasn’t happy about it either; using mana...
Chapter 31 - Final Push - Cultist Access
Get it here! or read below!---Chapter 31Elania bit her lip and stared at the shadowed interior of the gatehouse. Tanyan and her had both seen something move inside, although it had only been for a brief second. Despite [Darkvision] letting her see in the dark confines of the caverns, she still had trouble when there were large differences in light levels. The wall and most of the cavern were bathed in the bio-luminescent light from the ceiling, w...

Chapter 30 - The Wall - Cultist Access
Here's a link!----Chapter 30"Wait."Tanyan held up a hand, and the party came to a standstill. Taniel looked back at them with a frown."What?""There's a group ahead in the next cavern, non-human. Maybe ten or twenty. Small, can't really tell other than that. A little too small to be Ralfots, but maybe Elnats."Elania wanted to know exactly what type of skill or magic the monk was using to see ahead. If he was abl...

Chapter 29 - Two steps forward, one step back - Cultist Access
Get the latest chapters here!Alternatively, read below!---Elania felt the growl escape as she pawed the barrier in annoyance. Tanyan had been arguing with the frightened novices about not letting them in for an extended amount of time, and she wanted to get in and shake them until they knew their place."Elania! That's not helping."Her grumble came out a bit more intimidating than she had meant, and the novice stepped back, looking at ...
Chapter 28 - Razorscale - Cultist Access
Elania turned and shoved Tanyan as hard as she could manage in the few seconds she had to react. Time seemed to slow down for her, and she could see the shock on his face turn to understanding as he rotated through the air. She worried that she had pushed him too hard, but she didn't have time to watch to see if he recovered.She pushed off the ground and dodged backward an instant later. It was barely in time as the [Razorscale] slammed into ...
Chapter 27 - Gathering - Cultist Access
Prepare for some extra chapters! The google document version will be posted at the end since it doesn't make sense to make a whole bunch of those for all of these!Chapter 27Elania sat on a boulder just outside the Waystation entrance, humming her best rendition of Misty Mountains Cold. One of the novices had been in-and-out a few times to fetch water and had looked at her with a funny expression. Well, not everyone had her taste in music, or ...

Chapter 26 - Contracts - Cultist Access
It's that time again! Get the chapter here!Alternatively, read below!-----Chapter 26Elania was in a foul mood as she hauled not only her backpack but also Taniel's basket of 'probably-won't-explode-moss' as well. Her teeth still hurt, although she thought that might have just been ghost pain because her injuries had all magically corrected themselves. The suddenly erupting new teeth to replace the missing ones was a horrible e...

Considering the stupidly large size of the thing, it did seem to warrant the particular moniker."It's... an Alpha Ralfot with a few Ralfots scattered about. Taniel, it... knows we are here...

Chapter 26 - Contracts - Lesser Demon Access
Monday's chapter is here!Big changes to Chapters 21 & 22, recommend re-reading them!Hoping to have the context changes pushed into the Lesser Demon tier by Friday! Then hopefully we can quickly get it pushed all the way out of the Patreon tiers altogether. That would be ideal since there are some big changes in the editing!
