《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 247
Advertisement
I talked with Willow today. She’s gotten over her fears. She doesn’t freeze up and she doesn’t have sudden panic attacks anymore. She has fully adapted to this life.
She has also gotten much better at controlling lighting, which is one of the two things she’s been focusing on. When she saw how I was able to mimic voices with my plants she decided to try and replicate it with lighting. It was honestly pretty impressive, she managed to make a static version of my voice with just some lightning flowing between her fingers.
The other thing she’s been focusing on is reading the book our Origin left for her. It’s a big book, and she’s managed to put some of the knowledge she’s gained from it to practical use. Apparently, she learned something about sound having to do with the way air moves and applied that to her lightning.
She’s planning on going on the next dungeon dive as a full member of the team, either that or forming her own team with Par and the Ents. From what she said the four of them would make a pretty good team if a bit overspecialized in offensive magic. Willow can do more damage in a single spell than any other mage I know, though she lacks the versatility and endurance of Mest and the Ents, and she lacks the experience of Mest. The Ents are incredibly talented Mages with deep mana pools and a lot of versatility, from the way Willow was explaining it they make for great support mages with their healing and crowd control. While Par makes for a good dexterity tank, a term she learned from Tiddol which basically means someone that gets everything to attack him and survives by not getting hit.
It’s nice seeing the young sprite come into her own. And it’s adorable to hear her talk about Tiddol and Mest as mama and papa respectively.

Another thing that happened today is a Greater Kobold evolved. It was born a Greater Kobold and had lived all its life with Par’s village, which makes it really impressive as it is way too young for an evolution under normal circumstances, but I guess all the evolutions around here recently really helped it out. The Greater Kobold evolved into a Dragonewt Saint, with Saint apparently being a variant on the base of Dragonewt.
The reason he evolved was because he managed to heal another Greater Kobold to perfect health from near death. From what I heard the Greater Kobold had multiple missing limbs, basically liquified internal organs, and many other injuries I won’t mention. The reason the injured creature wasn’t brought to me was due in part because he couldn’t be moved without risking death, though whether or not they were a second class citizen was rather vague.
The young Dragonewt Saint was brought to me in mid-afternoon and I managed to talk to them for a while. Apparently, the one he saved was someone he is hoping to make his mate. I asked him to demonstrate his healing abilities and to my surprise he is half as powerful at healing as I am when I am wearing my White Foot armor, an impressive feat for a draconic, which aren’t known for their magical ability.
As a gift to the young healer I asked Par to do two things, the first was have one of his Village make a copy of the book on healing I own and gift the copy to him, the second was to make his potential lover a full citizen regardless of her current social status. The young Dragonewt was almost crying after that one, apparently, she was a slave from a tribe that tried to attack a hunting party, it obviously didn’t end well.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.

Taverns edge - A mercenary's guide to Ley Line traveling
The taverns edge is a fiction that centers around a pair of unusual friends. A mercenary that happens to be a princess of fae, but prefers to stay in a well-known établissement instead of staying in the Sidhe. Moira. Being half a dragon doesn't really help getting along with snobbish elitists at her mother's court. Like all sidhe she likes to strike a good deal... Which has led into many a disaster... Though she always tends to get by, especially when she gets home to the Tavern on the edge. The mentioned établissement is run by the formidable Barkeeper and jack of all trades Tora, who happens to have a very interesting past. Which involves more than one sinister secret... Now add to the mix a totally clueless elven girl - a mortal, not a fae- on the run. Lunara. She has unknowingly struck a deal with the devil - quite literally. Now unable to handle the consequences on her own she enters the tavern on the edge. An epicenter for magic and the only place where she might find help. She talks Moira into helping her out. A race against time begins as the deal's symbols appear on Lunara's skin. The journey leads to the dwarven empire, the sidhe and wherever the crossing leylines under the tavern may lead. This fiction belongs to the same universe as Ancient Blood. English is not my native language, so please don't be harsh. This story is an adaption of an idea, that we, a friend of mine and me, have developed over a few months while taking a break from learning. Some parts were written by Emberspark. Thank you for allowing me to work with your ideas and letting me publish this as a whole. Updates... I will try to frequently update both of my fictions... Well in case you are interested I post it on Scribble hub, too. I really don't steal from myself 😂

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
