Surprisingly he didn’t strike which put me into a dilemma. Now I actually had to think about if I wanted to attack him instead of just burning the shit out of him without a moment’s pause. I just wanted to get in unrecognised and, once I had the ring, I hoped I’d be able to smooth out any problems I created along the way. On second thought, that wasn’t much of a plan without even considering that I only had a vague idea about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do afterwards. Alright, a talk it was. We could get back to bashing our heads in quickly enough, anyways.I spread out my wings and came to an abrupt halt, a couple of meters away from him. Chaleb was a big boy, his current incarnation came from one of the technologically advanced, humanoid races. They had meddle with his body in the stereotypical mad scientist with a gruesome laboratory fashion when he had first displayed a part of his heritage. As a knight he had easily pulled through and, as far as I knew, there was st

“So you’re basically saying I’m the prototype of what she’s turning into? May I remind you that some of the stories surrounding me aren’t lies? I don’t have any aspirations to gain political power and I did and still do work against every immortal that tries to form the multiverse as they see fit. On a related note: I can’t even remember the last time I felt truly hungry and what I sensed from Delilah was… starvation.”“Semantics, I already told you, I think your immunities saved you from the worst parts, you only experience the benefits… like access to a form of energy that bypasses all known defences. Come on, Cassandra, you can’t be that blind…” what had he just called me?“Cassandra! Cassandra, wake up!”Groggily I blinked the sleep from my eyes, still half engaged in my dream I needed a moment to understand why I was staring into a clear, blue sky, a beautiful face with ram like horns merely centimetres from my nose. When everything snapped into place I couldn’t suppress a curse.

Cassandra PendragonErya enjoyed her role as the apparent voice of our group and pranced towards Clovis, a wide smile on her face: “and we graciously accept. If you and your comrades would be so kind as to hand over your weapons. Not that I particularly care but there is a certain etiquette to these matters, isn’t there? Now then,” she waved her hand and the last traces of her magic vanished, returning the ship to its inanimate state. “Why don’t you put them all on a heap right here? And please, don try to hide anything, I’d hate to throw you overboard.” She had them well in hand and the bunch of seasoned cutthroats quietly complied, a varied assortments of sharp utensils clattering to the floor. Erya made them form a line and skipped up and down in front of them giddily. She was having the time of her life ordering them around, especially when Viyara joined the game of let’s-make-the-pirates-miserable and slithered along the railing until she came to a stop behind them. She neatly co

Cassandra Pendragon “It looks almost… peaceful, except for the wrecked ships it could be some kind of holiday camp.” My voice was quiet and the longing I felt for what I had said to be true was strong enough to make it tremble. Ahri’s tails curled around my middle more tightly but she didn’t answer. There was nothing to say. There was no peace for us here, we were refugees on the run and instead of camp equipment and food, the tents most likely contained the dead and one who was fighting for her life. A fight she would win if I had my way. Exhaling deeply I squeezed Ahri’s hand and turned towards the approaching fey. Erya’s iridescent wings reflected the light of the setting sun in colourful sparks and together with her glimmering horns she made for a striking figure in the approaching night. Mysterious and hopefully powerful enough to bring Reia back from the brink. If not, well, I was decently sure that I could get rid of the curse that had infected her wounds but it wouldn’t be pr

Cassandra PendragonMy wings lit up like a solar flare when energy rushed from my core like a tidal wave. Harsh light, at first silvery blue and then a glaring white, vanquished the shadows that had encroached upon me. A spherical shockwave pulsed from my body, annihilating everything it came in touch with. The creatures that still clung to the ceiling were brushed away like mosquitos in a storm and the unfortunate ones that had already dropped down were reduced to sparks of stardust in an instant. Pillars toppled over and burned before they reached the ground, the throne weathered the bright onslaught for a heartbeat before it disappeared in a blaze of light. Black marble became white hot slag when the darkness gave way to brilliant brightness like the night to a beautiful sunrise. And still I pushed more energy from my core, the infinite reservoir eager to finally come to life.The silvery marks on my skin were the first parts of me to change, erupting into a maze of glowing lines t
