AN: I apologise for the delay, but — as the meta post stated — there is sadly an ongoing emergency in my family that requires my attention more often than not. This unfortunately means that further chapters — and definitely the next Side Story — will likely also be delayed for the foreseeable future. Once things have calmed down again, I will let you guys know.

2021-09-08 19:49:43 +0000 UTC View PostCaethya moved herself a little closer to Aperio. The lack of mana on this world made her feel a bit queasy, but staying close to her love and simply taking in her mana fixed that. Aperio seemed to have noticed that, as a bit more mana than usual flowed off of her in Caethya's direction, making it quite easy for the Demigoddess to take it all in.
"And why would it be so bad if we just ...
2021-09-06 18:37:14 +0000 UTC View PostJohn tapped his fingers on the frame of the glass counter, looking at the shirts that were housed within. Outside of the few events that came to the city a couple times a year, Riverburg was quiet, and so was the store he was in charge of. It would be a slow day today, like usual.
The chime of the bell caused John to look up from the latest merchandise that had been put on sale and ...
2021-09-01 18:36:36 +0000 UTC View PostCandrial stepped closer to the edge of the floating island and leaned forward slightly. Looking down at the swirling vortex in the ocean below certainly felt more menacing when you were aware that the ground you were standing on was only held aloft by the power of ancient runes. Ones that might or might not be in desperate need of repair.

2021-08-31 17:40:41 +0000 UTC View PostAperio let out a sigh and stretched her arms over her head, letting her wings unfurl themselves to their full length as soon as Caethya and herself had appeared in her Void.
"I like your mother," she said as she folded her wings behind her back and set her gaze onto her love. "She is fun, if a little exhausting."
"You wanted to hear more stories about my past," Cae...
2021-08-28 18:26:19 +0000 UTC View PostAN: It is done. For now. Book 6 REDACTED will start in 4-5 days. Is Earth time with the occasional view on Verenier to check up on how things unfold.
Caethya smiled, watching her love tilt her head to the side. Silver hair cascaded over pointy ears, and a barely-visible blue shimmer left a small trail of silver mana hanging in the air from the motion. She could feel Aperio drawin...

AN: Have a few words to coast you over until the next chapter of Forgotten! Do enjoy.
The chime of her phone informed Vinera that her ride to Doctor Sharesch would arrive sometime soon. Sadly, though she had cleaned the mess she had made upon her return as well as gotten something to eat, her conundrum had not been helped in the slightest. Why, and perhaps more importantly, h...
2021-08-19 20:43:16 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Next chapter is the end of Book 5 and atm it looks like it will be good bit longer than usual so I am here to remind you that it might take an extra day or two. You will get a Between Worlds chapter on Thursday to coast you over, however.
Aperio stretched her wings to their full length as soon as Caethya and herself arrived in her Void. One of these days she would have ...
2021-08-17 17:01:21 +0000 UTC View PostAN: As you might notice reading this, the next few side stories will follow a mini arc as various characters try to figure out this language and what it actually means. It also gives you insight into a few side characters that you don't know much about yet.
Candrial's ears twitched slightly as the presence of her Goddess receded from her mind. Such a direct delivery of instructio...
2021-08-15 19:09:24 +0000 UTC View PostAN: I anticipated that 185 will be the end of Book 5. It might turn out longer than expected and need an extra day or two, but I should have some Between Worlds and Watchers to coast that over :)
Aperio hummed a tune she did not truly know but could recall hearing when she had first arrived in Ebenlowe as one part of her mind poked at the [Translation] skill, another was getting ...
2021-08-12 18:33:20 +0000 UTC View PostAN: We are nearing the end of Book 5, only a couple more chapters before it is Earth Time™️
Aperio stretched her arms over her head and let her wings extend to their full length as she and Caethya appeared in the courtyard of Mister Penbrooks’ House of Healing. While she did not think she was entirely done dealing with the mess the [Ancestral Guard] had produced, she did no...
2021-08-07 18:44:13 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Earth time soon™️
Moria shook her head as the cold sensation left her body. Being teleported by Aperio felt different every time, with the only constant being that it always felt weird. But I guess that is to be expected. Breaking reality and forcing it to put people where they weren't was definitely not something normal.
The network of gates, used a few li...
2021-08-03 18:50:06 +0000 UTC View PostI had a small mix up and set the access to Side Stories wrong.
Acolyte and Disciple were meant to get A dam 2, not 3 and apparently Moric 4 just never made it to either of you. It's been fixed now!

AN: Now you know what Ferio did while Aperio was waiting for her on Solito!
Ferio tapped her fingers against her chin as she let her gaze sweep over the mortals that filled the plaza. Most of them were dealing with the events quite well, with only a few of them actually needing help from the [Guides] or their fellow ex-slaves. Now we wait for them to get Classes.

2021-07-31 18:27:01 +0000 UTC View PostAperio tilted her head slightly as the representatives of the various tribes all began to walk back inside. None of them seemed all too concerned with what had just transpired. Slightly annoyed, maybe, if anything.
That could not be said for the rest of the mortals that surrounded them. Aperio could hear the frantic whispers all over the city — feel their excitement and their fear. All ...
2021-07-29 19:34:50 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Next is the final week of the finals month, I will also get my second vaccine shot on the 28th so I am anticipating not getting a whole lot done. I apologise in advance.
Moria let her gaze wander over the still growing crowd that surrounded them. The tribal representatives had gathered at the top of the stairs, likely wanting some distance between themselves and the people th...
2021-07-24 18:17:27 +0000 UTC View PostCaethya rubbed Aperio's back for a moment before stepping away to look at the covered bodies she could sense in the next room. The golden-furred Beastkin — Neria, if she recalled correctly — eyed her for a moment but let her pass nonetheless.
It only took her a couple of steps to reach the bodies. Despite having crouched down and her hand hovering above, she did not lift the cover, th...
2021-07-20 19:34:05 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Welcome to the Verenier Dominio world championship, once everything has been setup properly, we can knock them over!
Moria eyed the small semi-translucent blue box at the side of her vision yet again. If she had her way, she would take a few months to mull over this decision, but she also knew that it would not change how she felt about becoming a Goddess.
She very much...
2021-07-15 19:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Next one will not be Adam cause we all deserve a break.
Adam hesitated for a moment before stepping past the gate and into the dungeon. The first thing he noticed inside was not the smell, or even the other adventurers that were merrily planning their trips, but the silver-framed notification that told him he had entered the Ebenlowe dungeon and that 'the weak will perish'. 2021-07-15 18:02:53 +0000 UTC View Post
Aperio ran her hand over her stomach, smoothing out some nonexistent wrinkles in her dress. Dealing with the empire on Geshwen and the [Ancestral Guard] while planning to travel to Earth might not seem like it should be much to the All-Mother, but Aperio still felt overwhelmed by it all. And then there is Ferio…
She had been trying to make some form of amends with her ...
2021-07-10 16:30:32 +0000 UTC View PostAN: I am in the last stretch of my current semester so projects are due and exams afoot. I apologise to any delays that might cause.
As the ceremonial black and gold cloth descended to cover the last of the dead council members, Neria couldn't help but shake her head at the actions of her mother. This rite of the [Ancestral Guard] was used to honor those who had died and gone to ...
2021-07-05 18:54:34 +0000 UTC View PostAN: This is peak title.
Adam shifted his gaze back and forth between the targets he was supposed to hit and his teacher. What spell should he use? How strong should he make it? Was he even supposed to use magic, or did they want to make him think that and he was actually supposed to pick out one of the weapons that lined the walls and use that?
"Just throw some lig...
2021-06-30 19:00:27 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Even though there is still on going Family Drama, the chapter is here!
It only took Aperio a few strides before she had caught up to Caethya and slung her arm and a wing across her shoulders. She pulled her love a little closer to herself, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as the Demigoddess wrapped her own arm around her waist.
"You really need to take better c...
2021-06-30 17:17:14 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Writer's block sucks.
Aperio shook her head slightly and turned away from Moria and Neria, focusing more of her attention on her Scion. Laelia was agitated — angry, even — but the reason for it was not something the All-Mother could discern. Her mental question for clarification went unanswered as her Scion was not able to express what caused the issue.

"They really did not think that through, did they?" Caethya asked as she looked at the body of the [Keeper of Voices]. "I have no experience with rituals and still could have told you that this was a very bad idea."
"Stupidity seems to be a theme with mortals," Aperio replied, glancing at Neria. "I hope it is a trend that comes to an end...
2021-06-20 17:55:41 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Gotta get Adam up to speed to prepare for Book 6.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Adam asked once more as Natio pushed him out of the House of Healing. "I don't feel like I am ready to fight anyone and definitely not monsters."
"You'll be fine," the janitor scoffed. "If anything happens, our resident nuisance will help."
"You're the nuisance," Qhinya ...
2021-06-16 19:09:07 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Yes, this is a chapter
Aperio raised a brow at the magic that flowed from the makeshift chalice. It looked much like the one Moria had used to show her her own memories, but the way in which the mana clung to her surrogate mother reminded the All-Mother more of the ritual that had set her free.
How she had such a vivid image of the Emperor being burned to death by the f...
2021-06-16 18:27:53 +0000 UTC View PostAN: This chapter is brought to you by a raging headache and allergies. I will go back to bed now :(
Aperio let the marble disappear into her Void. Given that the sphere still remained stubbornly invisible to her aura, she had wanted to place it next to her swordstaff so that she could find it, but that turned out to be unneeded. The remnants of Chellien's Soul shone brighter than...
2021-06-11 17:53:20 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Chapter One-Nice.
Aperio raised a brow at the mother and daughter pair of Moria and Neria in front of her. Seeing the golden-furred form of Neria next to her mother was odd. They looked awfully similar, with the only real difference now being the coloration of their fur. Both had a slightly crooked ear, but only Moria had a scar running through her face.
"So you hav...
