Chapter 12: From forest to the sea
Lyria woke up extremely sore but surprisingly well rested, stretching her arms and legs out while lying down letting out a strained grunt as she felt her muscles ache. She then sat up, bending forward a little more than expected as the digested remains of the bandit, chyme and acids sloshed forward with a loud noise. Lyria grabbed her pudgy middle and shook it gently, listening to the slosh of gastric juices and clack of bones resound from inside of her. She si

Chapter 11: A fox and a wolf go into a caravan
“So, one week. I wonder if there's anywhere in between Forestria and Oronia where we can rest.” Regar pondered as the gravel crunched under his boots.
“There's a small village or two in the vicinity near both cities, but they're a bit out of the way and we most likely won't be passing by.” Shanira said, slithering alongside Regar.
“I see...” Regar looked a little disappointed at this: “Wait, how do you know

Chapter 10: Snakes and Ladders
Shanira slithered a little bit down the road away from the guild, before stopping and considering her options. She didn't really have much she could do in town and she could feel that despite lamias not being forbidden from entry into the city, there was always a set of eyes following her with distrust. She sighed and figured that the best thing to do right now would be to gather some information. She had obviously heard of Oronia, but she didn't know much about th

Chapter 9: A foxy day out
After Lyria made her way out of the guild she wondered what she needed to do before the agreed meet up date. She wandered down the street, the midday sun counteracting the cold wind with its warmth, eventually finding herself in front of a pawn shop not too far from the guild. Lyria didn't often go to the pawn shop herself, since she was primarily focused on fighting and defending others as opposed to pillaging ancient burial sites, but every so often she'd find herself

Chapter 8: Double triple check
With Regar splitting off from the rest of the group, he figured he should go to the college and sort out some affairs. He knew he was going to be away for a while so he needed to request for his academic leave to be extended for an undetermined amount of time, which meant he needed to find any one of the professors, and he also needed to probably share and submit his findings to Professor Adler since he authorized his academic leave in the first place. He made his

Chapter 7: Strive for greatness
The three made their their way upstairs back into the main library room after helping the newly freed demis, battered and bruised from their battle with the drider but happy to be alive. After they entered the main hall, they felt a breeze that wasn't there before and noticed that the wall on the second floor now had a square entrance in it, leading into the unknown room. Without stopping they went to the second floor and stood in front of the newly opened entranc

Chapter 6: A sticky situation
The three entered the library and looked around. There was a dim blueish-white glow covering the entire area, with a small area in the middle being flooded with light pouring in from an opening at the top of the library. The three of them marvelled at the grandiose size of the room, taking in the glorious sight of an ancient race's document repository. Regar's eyes were practically sparkling with excitement as he tried to figure out where to start. The library itse

Chapter 5: Don't threaten me with a good time
“Have you seen a lever or prism looking object at any point in this room?” Lyria asked Shanira.
Shanira looked at the drawing that was on the paper and looked around the room for a moment. She slithered towards the opposite corner of the room and using her tail, moved different pieces of debris out of the way uncovering a prism underneath. Unfortunately for Lyria, the prism in question was cracked in three, causing her to bring her hand t

Chapter 4: Slither
Regar and Lyria examined the room they were in and found very little to go on. They decided that there's nothing lost by examining the side rooms and went into the first one nearest to them. They went down a short, dusty corridor and made it into a rather small room with a couple of broken bookshelves and what seemed to be an old table in the corner. Regar figured this was some sort of office or study, maybe staffed by the undertaker back in its heyday:
“Let's have a loo

Chapter 3: Weakness as a sin
As Regar thrust his sword, the squirrel girl twisted to the side far quicker than any human could and took out her daggers in one swift motion and took a battle stance. Regar swung his blade towards the human woman and managed to force her to block with her wrist guards, digging deep into the thick leather but not quite making it through. He succeeded in pushing her off balance and bringing her to to floor and tried to go for a thrust while she was prone, but was for

Chapter 2: Keep friends close and enemies closer
Lyria and Regar sat down at a small booth to the far side of the cafeteria area. Regar ordered himself a drink and some food but if he was being perfectly honest, he wasn't exactly in the mood to eat. Lyria was sitting opposite him with a new drink in hand, greedily gulping it down onto her unwilling captive. The heavy atmosphere was broken by the muffled protests coming from Lyria's gut, and the occasional glorp or blorp coming from within her. L

Chapter 1: New beginnings
Amongst a bustling city street a young man runs through the crowd in a hurry. The market is quite busy this time of morning and the man is trying to make his way to the college in the center of town, but the thick tides of the crowd prevent him from getting any further along:
“Damn, at this rate i'm going to be late for the lecture, and of all the professors it has to be Miranda doing it...and she has no tolerance for tardiness.” The man mutters to himself i
