《Descent of the Arcane》Chapter 18: Leveling 1
Advertisement
Caleb opened his eyes to see a pair of purple cat eyes staring down at him from his forehead, making him get started and jump up. His movement made the small winged tiger cub fall onto the bed. She growled at him in annoyance yet what he heard was totally different. "You big bully why did you do that? I shall have my vengeance! Now help me out of this white crap so I can claw you." Caleb was at first gobsmacked about this, then he felt the dots click realizing that the cub must be his soul familiar. Reaching out he untangled her from the bedsheets were she promptly clawed him yet se retracted her claws so it wouldn't cut the skin. "Hehehe. I win! Getting vengeance against you it sooo much easier than against mommy's tail. "
All Caleb could think was how freaking cute this tiger cub was. But after a moment he began to worry about how useful she would be in a fight. He had taken a risk in the hopes that his familiar could increase his combat ability. Worse he had know idea of the growth pattern of a normal tiger much less one that had wings. With a grunt he decided that he would buy a book on the species later. For know he planned to pull up her status page and his tow see what he was working with.

Soul Guide: Always know soul familiars location
Caleb was somewhat surprised that he was considered her soul familiar as well yet it just felt right. They were not a master and servant, instead they were soul bonded. He even wondered briefly if this was truly what a soulmate should feel like, as he never believed that a soulmate should have anything to do with romance but instead just be a resonance between souls. But that was a debate for another time it was time to see what his Profession gave him and to check out his own status page.

GENERALS:
Caleb was slightly disappointed when he saw that the stats for his class weren't retroactive but he could understand as his previous levels were all for his race.He was somewhat worried as well by the increase in his holy weakness as well as the addition of a high weakness for light magic. When he saw the jump in his affinity for lightning he chalked it up to his new soul bond, but was super excited about his new affinity for space. After looking everything over again he clicked the abilities tab to see what new abilities he had gained.

Unable to help himself Caleb immediately activated blink. Then he promptly threw up do to the disorientation caused by appearing in a completely new place while his mind said he should be back were he started, obviously he would need to practice with this ability a bit before it became useful. He also decided to pay more attention to learning the runes that affected space as he knew that it would take him over a year to learn and master all the Tier 2 runes though hopefully his class would help speed that up. Looking over his ferociously cute soul familiar Caleb tried to come up with a name for her. At first he wanted to give her a name that seemed cool or badass but seeing her try to pounce and hit the doorknob he changed his mind. Instead he choose a slavic name that one of his sister's friends had, Lidah meaning small winged one loved by the people. Finishing up with everything Caleb decided to go and explore a little before working on gaining a few levels. Evolution to E-rank was level 25 and the evolution to D-rank was level 50, and every 50 levels after that he would gain another evolution. For classes and profession they were different, allowing specialization at level 100 and 400 yet going up in tier every 50 levels. Currently both his class and profession was Tier 0. He had a very long way to go so it was best to get started, so clicking accept on the name selection he opened the door heading out to search for new adventures a curious winged-tiger cub nipping at his heels.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★
