Chapter 31
Professor Halfhoof
Ethan got about an hour of sleep after his ordeal back at the cottage. He didn't want to sleep for too long, for now he feared he would slip into a dream and meet the purple lizard once again. When he returned, he laid eyes on Avalara and was immediately guilt-stricken for not working on that project. The only bright side was that the version of her at the center of the planet spoke the truth. The ghost haunting his cottage didn't know anything ab...

This is just a quick update. I'm dealing with some health issues atm with no sure idea for recovery. No, it isn't bad. Yeah, I'm fine. Just that I have a lot of brain fog as a side-effect and can't focus on anything for longer than about 15 seconds.
I'm just writing this to say... nothing. I expect to get sick, so I always have a backlog. All week long I've tried to write. I wrote about 1/20th of what I normally write and deleted half of that. But this afternoon was decently productive,...

No One’s Homie
Ethan got to test the reporting system on his way to Luminarum House City. True to her word, Sam had programmed the damn thing to jack into Gale House’s tablet network and steal all their information. He could now view all the entries reported by summoning the system’s interface, and when he added a new one to the list, it automatically populated with Gale House, including a price to resolve that anomaly.
Thanks to his bracelet being the o...

The Shard
There was a long list of things Ethan had expected to see on the other side of that door. A few of those things were met. The cavern on the other side was approximately 20 feet cubed and incredibly dim. There was breathable oxygen and latent magic in the air that he couldn't quite identify. Rotating near the center of the chamber was a large hunk of crystal. It emanated a pale blue glow that bathed everything in an eerie light. Luna and Finn had collapsed,...

Imbue
A small cubby rested on the desk near Rud’s radio. Since he had first upgraded the building and settled into his life as a ham radio operator, he assumed it was simply a nice place to store his junk. The druid removed a collection of acorns, sticks, and a very nice rock from the nook to reveal a small letter, sealed on one side with wax. Removing it from the confines of his desk, he placed it on the desk.
“It’s made out to me, but no return address...

Very Unpleasant
There was a big problem with flying in Voidspace. Ethan hadn't figured out why, but the density of latent mana within the spaces had been low. This one wasn't so bad, but it was enough to cause him concern as he and Luna headed for the Floating Island. By his estimation, he had enough to get there, but once they arrived, he would need to wait to restore his mana. As more of the floating island came into view, the scribes suspected they were in for a ...

Forbidden Techniques
Mark led the way through the forest, finding a clearing that was rather secluded. It was considerate of him to be far enough away from the mortals so as not to disturb their days. With a wave of his hand, the landscape changed. It turned from a normal clearing to the inside of a bustling tavern. The smile spreading across the goblin’s face was devious.
“This is all an illusion, buddy,” he said, finding a chair and sitting down. He sn...

Curious Talent
It didn't pass. Rud noticed that everyone had fled far away from the sacred tree, clearing, and the longhouse. The interior was empty, although a fire still blazed in the fire pit. The druid started a pot of tea just as Mark dismounted from his perch upon the living piece of furniture. He hobbled across, revealing for only a few fleeting moments that his left leg was completely gone, replaced by some metallic substitute.
"Now I've got to say," M...
