There was movement, voices going in and out. Pain. She thought the pain would be stronger but it was going dull, replaced with an ever-growing coldness. A voice, determined and scared. “Is it working? It has to work.” Nova recognized the voice. It was Mathius. He was alive. A sense of relief went through her. READ MORE

Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 18 – Run
Nova had always been good at running. In high school, she had been on the track team. She was short and many of the runners that were taller with longer legs would tease her. That was until they saw her run. She was fast, unbelievably fast, and none of her team could catch her. She READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 17 – Core
Nova walked into the right part of the ruin. Stepping inside felt like walking into a tomb. There was something in the air. Nova decided to focus on following Ava’s instructions as the AI notified her of perilous areas. Even with Ava’s warnings, passing through the area was hazardous. Sometimes part of the building would READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 16 – Snag
A wave of anticipation went through Nova at the thought that the first part of her quest was about to be completed. It would mean all she needed was to find three members for the guild and do the Explorer’s Quest. “Activation failed,” Ava’s voice rang out. “Repairs and clean-up needed before reactivation.” Nova groaned.

Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 15 – Ruins
When Nova stepped out of the room, she found Mathius pacing. His face was scrunched into a scowl. It seemed like he wasn’t as okay with the situation as he let on. She wasn’t too surprised. When he noticed her he said something to her. When she just looked at him blankly, he sighed and READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 14 – Miscommunication
When Nova woke up, she felt off. She couldn’t quite explain it but she felt weaker and her mind groggier. Rubbing her forehead, she sat up and looked around. Nothing was out of place. She looked down at herself and she looked the same. “Shower,” she said. Maybe she just needed something to wake her READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 13 – The Guard
“Briney!” Nova shouted and took a step forward. The kraken scrunched up and scrambled up the guard’s arm, pressing into the nook where her shoulder and neck met. Briney peeked out, giving Nova a guilty look before waving one tentacle at her. Nova’s lips pressed into a tight line of disapproval. “So this sweetheart is READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 12 – Shards
Nova didn’t go to the Golden Crystal right away. Instead, she wandered the streets looking for any sign of Briney or rumors about a purple monster with tentacles. Though she heard tidbits about the purple kraken it was mostly about the spectacle that happened earlier. Every once in a while she heard mention of the READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 11 – Hungry
Nova watched in horror as Briney snatched up the crystal. Tinle jerked back, his eyes wide in astonishment. Mathius grabbed at the kraken but this time Briney was ready. The Kraken wrapped a tentacle around Mathius’s stretched arm and swung himself away, plopping on the ground. There Briney wiggled-hopped towards the door. “Nova, get him READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 10 – Shopping
Haggling went terribly. What it came down to was that the demand for crystals was higher than the supply. It didn’t help that in the Crystal Crafter’s eyes a person with wind mana wasn’t that important. Not to say some weren’t interested. But their interest lay in getting free labor with payment in experience. Despite READ MORE
