Chapter Thirty-one: Becoming Indispensable Brandr watched as his ‘guests’ went about killing the Guardian of the Fifth Floor. Watching them work was pleasing in its own way. They were all skilled individuals, powerful experts in their respective fields, and even though they were not used to working together, their experience made it a cinch. They…
Chapter Thirty: Hazel Eyes, Dark Truths A river in the sky. For the first time since they stepped into the dungeon, Ulak felt like he was truly in a faerie land. He hadn’t seen sights like this since that time they were forced to take a shortcut, a path through the faerie realms, just so…
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Meeting New Faces “Welcome to the fifth floor!” said the flaming sprite with a smile. “You’ve passed the preliminary trials and are now prepared to delve the dungeon in truth. May the core’s grace guide you!” Grimsby backed away quickly, nearly tripping over the dwarves behind him. The fourth floor was by far…
Chapter Twenty-eight: Trial’s End One thing they never tell you about lightning, Atur realised, was how jarring it was to hear. The first time a bolt came his way would forever be immortalised in his memory. The cavern they were in amplified every sound, making the sounds of the fight seem louder and more intense….

For…
Chapter Twenty-five: … Once Heroes In ages past, the narrow strip of land between The Battlehammer Mountains and the Galronde Forest was left unaligned at the request of the Golden Throne. Dwarves with their stoic and stern demeanours seldom made friends with the mercurial fae and so it was thought wise to leave a buffer…
Chapter Twenty-four: Additional Measures “We have to retaliate!” Proudsprout was yelling. “We can’t just let this go unanswered.” Other faeries murmured their approval but before this proposal could gather momentum, Thorn jumped in. “No! That is the last thing we should do!” he argued. “I believed we would have more time. At this time of the…
Chapter Twenty-three: Deliberations “Yond decision falls to the crown”, the Duke answered lazily as he ate from a platter of conjured grapes. “Mine concern is the fae within its depths.” The emperor stared at him with suspicion. “Are you considering letting them have their own court?” The handsome figure reclined on his settee gave a…
