  Manifest: A Shattered Future                Episode Four: The Princess of Swirling Cinders                  “Good morning, Elena! What’re ya working on? Another hydraulic manifold?” asked a friendly voice from the door to the lab.                Elena giggled and nodded as she said, “Yes of course, of course of course! I’ve got a pretty long connection here, but it’s strong enough! I mean it’s not perfect. One of the pistons doesn’t fit, so we’re losing lots of power there. But it’s good other than that! One of the pneumatic shafts actually gets really close to being a vacuum, but it got stuck a little while ago. It keeps getting stuck! I just wanna finish this design. I’m tired of this design! How about you? How are you? Adder! You’re supposed to be my partner! Why are you always gone?”  ...

           The astral plane is a realm in the Interitus series (used mostly in  Interitus 1 , Books 1 and 2) where a soul goes when it separates from its body. This can be thought of astral projection, and the astral plane is simply an overlay on actual reality. For example, if a mountain stands in the physical world, it exists in the same location in the astral plane. The main difference is that other entities (generally, other souls-without-body) may exist there as well. In the astral plane, you can perceive things that cannot be seen in the physical world. Furthermore, a soul can pass through physically-solid objects and float into the sky. They can also travel more quickly or even enter the dreams of people with whom they are entangled.            The astral plane is often used for reconnaissance, though sometimes people will project their soul into it if their body becomes uninhabitable. In order to do this,...

                                    The Dawn of Destruction Interitus 1 – Book One              Chapter Twenty                Large waves scattered the ocean as bursts of rain and wind flooded the sky. Seth raced toward the island on his jet ski, but the falling rain flew so fast that he had to lower his head. As far as he could tell, the sisters of Creation could not tell their attackers apart because of the storm, but this also meant that he could not tell the sisters apart. The rain was just too strong. For this reason, the vessels of Naomi did not attack all at once. Seth knew Felix and Zheng were relying on him to guard from projectiles, so he stayed near them as he approached. And because the Creation sisters stayed motionless, Zheng, Felix, and Seth organized...

 Manifest: A Shattered Future                Episode Three: The Adriatic Emblem                  “Do you have a favorite spell card?” Elena asked with quizzical excitement in her light brown eyes.                Romulo stood a short distance away with his back against the white wall of the infirmary, seeming to ponder an answer to her question. While they listened to the quiet din of patients and nurses speaking in the background, Elena stood beside her cot with her cards scattered on the sheet. The incandescent light touched every corner of the cobwebby room, and it caused his light blue eyes to shimmer. As he spun his black monolith in his hand, he answered, “It seems to change all the time! Sorry if that’s a boring answer. Now that I’ve got Typhoon Paladin on my...
