The Fractured Mage Chapter 51 - Solas
"No offense, but...how'd you become an Apex Mage, Mr Solas? You look like you'd freak out if a mosquito got too close," Remarked Iris bluntly. "I-I'm sorry...""Huh? Uh, what're you apologizing for?" She responded in bemusement. "Gotta say, I thought this'd be our chance to shine...but if we've got an Apex Mage tagging along with us, that's probably not gonna happen," Sighed Rex wistfully. "I'm sorry..."Yeah, that's not gonna get old anytime soon. "Well, Ifeus did tell him to just stand back and observe us if nothing goes wrong, so chances are that he won't actually get to do anything," I pointed out with a shrug. "Even if that does turn out to be the case and we do all the work ourselves with no help from him, I bet the other members of the Guild will assume that we completed the Quest with his help," Argued Rex saltily. Personally, I don't really care about who gets credit or whatever, but I guess I see his point. "I'm sorry..."Okay, he's already starting to irritate me wit
The Fractured Mage Chapter 52 - Refusal
"Heh...hehehe," Chuckled Solas, as the dust cleared to reveal all traces of the Monsters had been wiped out. "Dude...that was freaking awesome! I feel bad for ever doubting you!" Exclaimed Rex in awe. Have to agree, that was amazing...but, uh, his blast really made a mess of the road, we might have to go around a bit to avoid a dangerously bumpy ride. "O-oh, uh, y-you really think so? Thanks, I-I appreciate it...," Muttered Solas, as he fidgeted awkwardly, his gaze darting about as he returned to normal. And just like that, all traces of that badass, cocky demeanor he'd just displayed had completely disappeared. This guy's got some serious issues, doesn't he? Still, there's no denying how powerful he is, that Art he used was insanely destructive. A Lux Mage, the Apex Tier of the Light Class...since the Basic Tier of the Light Class is Healer, I didn't think he'd have so much destructive power at his disposal. My Ether Magic is basically destruction personified, it inflicts immen
The Fractured Mage Chapter 53 - Arrival
"How much further is the town we're heading for? It feels like we've been on the road forever," Groaned Lilac restlessly, tapping her foot against the floor of the carriage over and over with an impatient, bored look on her face. "It shouldn't be much farther now, we should be there within the next fifteen minutes or so. In fact, it shouldn't be too long before the border of the town comes into sight," Iris informed her, as she glanced back from the driver's seat. Solas had been driving for a couple of hours, before Iris took over to give him a break. He's been sitting silently in the corner since then, I've honestly forgotten that he was even here several times."It's just a little past 5 PM now, we should have some time to explore to town and get a good idea of the layout before resting for a few hours and then patrolling the streets at night to try and cross paths with the kidnappers," Surmised Rex, as he took out a wrist watch with a broken strap from his pocket. It looks prett
The Fractured Mage Chapter 54 - Combing Through
"How'd a man like that become the mayor of the town? He's so creepy, I can't believe the majority of the people here actually chose him to lead the town," Shuddered Lilac in disgust, as the two of us explored an area of the town. "Yeah, I get what you mean, I can't imagine that any normal human being would vote to elect him. But then, creepy or not, maybe he's actually good at his job," I replied with a wry smile. "Come on, there's no way that's the case. That much is apparent just looking at the state of the town.""You have a point there."About ten minutes had passed since we'd all split up. After going through a map of the town, we split the area we needed to search into four quadrants, with Iris, Rex and Solas each taking one quadrant to search, and Lilac and I taking the remaining one. We were at the north quadrant of the town, and based on how much area we've covered so far in the time since we split up from the others, it should take us less than two hours in total, to comb
The Fractured Mage Chapter 55 - Abductions(Part 1)
"Oh, you two are back already? I thought I'd be the first one to return," Remarked Iris in surprise, looking a bit miffed. "Why do you look so salty about it? It's not like this was a race, you know," I pointed out with a wry smile. "I-I wasn't being-...ahem, anyway...did you two fully comb through the north area of the town? Since you finished early, I hope that doesn't mean you rushed through your task instead of being thorough. Did you cover the entire area you were assigned to?" She asked us with slightly narrowed eyes. Wow, just because we finished before her, she's suspicious that we didn't do a proper job? Talk about petty... "Mhm, we were very thorough, no need to worry about that," Replied Lilac with a smug thumbs up. "Okay, good, I'll take you word for it...now, then, let's wait to share any information we obtained once the other two are back. Wait, what's that? Isn't that a Swansong?" Inquired Iris, noticing the bird peeking out at her from behind Lilac. "U-uh, yeah,

"Shouldn't we split up to cover more ground?" Lilac asked me, as we walked through the streets. "The whole reason we're not split up in the first place is because I'm supposed to keep an eye on you. I know it might be hard to accept since it basically means that you're not strong enough to be on your own, but-...," I began in response. "Come on, you know better than anyone that I'm a lot stronger now. I can take care of myself just fine...it won't be a problem if dad and the others never find out, right? It'll be our little secret, so come on," She nudged me as she tried to persuade me. "Nah, I'm not risking it, it isn't worth it. 'Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time'...Murphy's Law. Look, I know how capable you are now, and that you can probably handle yourself just fine against most opponents. But if something does go wrong, it'll be my fault for letting you go. And, well, I...I don't want anything to happen to you," I muttered as I averted my
The Fractured Mage Chapter 57 - Abductions(Part 3)
"One thing's for sure, the Tamer controlling that Gargoyle is definitely a Basic Mage, they're not a Summoner," Remarked Lilac confidently. "Huh? What makes you so sure of that?" I inquired in response. "Simple...if they were a Summoner, they could simply use the Summoning Art to teleport the Monster along with the abducted woman straight to their location," She pointed out. "Right, of course...that fact slipped my mind, good thinking. Hm? Hey, look, the Gargoyle is starting to descend towards those rock formations, whoever's controlling it must be over there," I remarked, as the Monster swooped down towards an area with several large rocks jutting out. "Do you sense anything?" She asked me, as we slowed down a bit and moved forward more cautiously. "No, but it's not within my range yet, I should be able to sense something soon. The Gargoyle flew out of my sensory range a few minutes ago, so-...okay, it's within range now. Let's see here...yeah, I can sense several individuals in
The Fractured Mage Chapter 58 - Abductions(Part 4)
"...-sure we should be risking this? I think we should've left this area the moment those Guild Mages showed up, man. Wh-what if they find us? I'm freaking out here, guys!""Come on, not this again, you fucking pussy. We've been over this several times at this point. This town, despite being a shithole, has an absurdly large number of hotties ripe for the picking, we've already gotten some great offers for the ones we kidnapped before. Let's focus on nabbing a few more real beauties and then hightail it out of here.""Can we hurry it up, please? I need a nice, long break after this, I've been drinking way too many Ether Recovery Elixirs over the last few days. My body's all jittery, I can't stop shaking. I feel so cold, and my chest is pounding like cr-...""Tch, stop being such a pussy, it's not like your role in this is particular difficult or dangerous, so just shut up and do your job.""Hah, yeah, easy for you to say...Will and I are the only ones actually doing any of the work!
