AoP | B2 | Chapter 14: Return

Merchants were gathering up their wares and closing up their stands on each side of the paved street as Seth headed back toward the imposing silhouette of the academy, keeping his head down.

Their hunt had been quite productive. After the first Ironhide Warthog, they’d tracked down four more. He’d let Colossus take the lead each time, ...

AoP | B2 | Chapter 13: Hunting Debut

Seth stood alone amidst the golden expanse of the Savage Grasslands north of Trogan, the wind tugging at his jacket. Far away on the horizon, the dust cloud behind the Champions of Chaos' caravan was just a fainting smudge. The sun hung midway down the sky, painting the endless waves of tall, hardy grass in hues of red and orange. The air smelle...

Seth didn't think and just acted. He recalled both Nightmare and Colossus instantly, their forms blurring and vanishing into the teardrop necklace as chunks of rock began to fall around him, crashing into the cave floor. 

The altar was crumbling while the Heart of the Brown-Peak Mountains slowly rolled away.

Seth looked at the E...

AoP | B2 | Chapter 10: Essence’s benefits

The torch flame cast flickering shadows that danced along the rough-hewn walls as Seth ventured deeper into the mountain. The air grew heavier with every step, heavy with raw, untamed Earth aether that washed over him in near-tangible waves. Nightmare moved out of the necklace and walked beside him, the direwolf's  paws making almost no sou...

AoP | B2 | Chapter 9: Essence’s Keeper

"Reat, Lyria, Seth—stay back," Orwen ordered, his voice sharp. His usual easygoing demeanor was now gone, replaced by intense focus. He didn’t spare them another glance, his attention locking solely on the colossal Golem standing before the cave mouth. "Drack. Krystel. Let's go."

The three veteran Wielders moved as one. Drack took the ...

AoP | B2 | Chapter 8: Brown-Peak Mountains

Seth trudged up the rocky incline, loose stones crunching softly beneath his boots. The Brown-Peak Mountains stretched around him, sharp peaks and steep slopes shrouded in thin mist, patches of stubborn greenery clinging desperately to the harsh terrain. In the distance, jagged cliffs loomed while drifting clouds dotted the pale sky.

Seth fell into step beside Professor Reat, wondering what the man had planned this time. As they walked leisurely through the academy's garden, where colorful blooms and trimmed hedges lined their path, Professor Reat broke the silence.

Seth and Elena descended the stone staircase, their footsteps the only sound in the quiet corridor. Most of the academy was likely swarming the Trial Tower grounds, making last-ditch efforts to improve their rankings.

As Seth walked out of the Trial Tower, he found himself facing a terribly long line of students waiting to get inside along with many clusters of students chatting together. Tomorrow was the last day before the end of the spring semester, so most of them had come in hope of improving their ranking to get a better reward. The moment Seth passed u...

As Seth stepped out of the outpost, the cool evening air brushed his skin and carried with it the lingering scents of burning oil and damp stone. The streets of Trogan had begun to quiet, the rush of merchants and adventurers thinning as night took its hold.

Nightmare’s voice echoed in Seth’s mind, 'You do realize that the reason y...

The clatter of forks on ceramic plates joined the cacophony of hundred conversations filling the cafeteria. Devus stabbed at a piece of potato, his chair scraping the floor as he leaned back with a groan.

Seth propped his chin on his now-fully-healed arm, the morning sun’s rays warming his face just enough to prevent his golden eyes from closing.

Seth’s boots echoed in the cavernous hall of the law office of the crown in Trogan. The air was cold and still, carrying the faint scent of old, dry parchment and dust.

As the electrified spear flew toward him, Seth’s legs refused to move, exhaustion rooting him into place. His life flashed before his eyes. Should he have done things differently? Bowed to nobles and not made a fuss? Left everything behind to hide and grow stronger in the Rifts?

Seth limped forward in the dark corridor leading to the coliseum’s open arena, every step causing sharp jolts of pain through his broken left arm, which dangled helplessly at his side.

Seth walked out of the Champion of Chaos' headquarters with only his own Endless Pouch, but it was heavily filled with coins.

It felt surreal compared to the mere twenty ...
