If I did, you’d just end up sending yourself to your death,” warned the monk. Elena nodded slowly, but she could not stop herself from trembling. She had nothing to protect her from her enemy’s Quicksand Carrier, and her Princess of Swirling Cinders stood helplessly to the side. Chains still bound its ability to cast curses, leaving her defenseless. Her curly hair fluttered as she shook, but she fought through her fear to watch her opponent’s move. The monk struck his red monolith with a miniature hammer, and then he set the weapon on the ground. In mere moments, a valiant warrior materialized in a shower of red light.                “He doesn’t look like another earth sorcerer,” Elena muttered.                “That’s true. Every sorcerer is different, so it’s important for a conjurer to have choices. If all I used was earth

Manifest: A Shattered Future   Episode Seven: Showdown in the Monastery   “Please do not take my words as judgment, but there are countless concerned citizens since the fall of this city. Now that it is too late for Aegea to save itself, its people cling to a hope that they cannot fulfill. I mean no disrespect, but is there anything that differentiates you from the others who have come asking for more power?” the monk asked both firmly but politely. While Altair watched with a gaze of intrigue from the corner of the room, Elena took a moment to contemplate her response. The white walls of the monastery room amplified every word the monk spoke, and even Elena’s anxious tremor created an audible clack. She balanced a portion of her weight on the sturdy cane in her right hand. Countless words and reasons argued in her head, striving to earn her attention, but all of them seemed wrong. Even the truth would deter the monk from taking her seriously. He stared expectantly at her from th

  Episode Six – Echo of the Fractured Past   “Adder! What are you doing?” Elena asked with an entertained smile. Without tilting his head, Adder lifted his index finger to his lips as he kept his ear against the laboratory wall. Curiosity got the best of Elena and compelled her to set her ear against the same wall, but she could not hear anything other than an electrical hum from another room. She showed her partner a quizzical look, but Adder shook his head and continued listening to sounds elsewhere in the building. After a few seconds, he stood upright and excitedly asked, “Did you hear that?” Elena shook her head quickly, but Adder smiled mischievously and motioned toward the door. He explained, “It’s Ockham and Annabel! They’re definitely making out; I’m certain of it. And here they thought they could get one over on ol’ Adder Neonia, but that’s not happening!
