《Windchasing》Epilogue
Advertisement
Guided by his father's officers, Eldin grew into a respected and beloved admiral. The Windchasers--not having any purpose while the windwyrm hatchling grew--were disbanded, but despite this, it was not an uncommon occurrence for the crew and civilians of the Ventus to witness their admiral soaring through the skies alongside the ship whenever the impulse struck him. His duties kept him occupied, but he never failed to find time to indulge in those things that lifted his heart, and if he were not flying, he would often be found in the company of his closest companions, Inpheria and Fenric.
The former of these two published several monographs on various subjects related to the events which came to be known by historians as the Windwyrm Incident. Working closely with the windwyrm hatchling--who lived on the Ventus until growing far too large for his comfort--Inpheria became the foremost expert on the fundamental properties of purewind, the physiology of wyrmkin, and several ancient languages that--somehow--the hatchling was in full command of once it had developed the capacity for speech. In her spare time, she often tutored younger sailors in the art of swordplay.
Fenric buried himself in his work. After many years, he and his team developed a means of improving the efficiency of the purewind engines to the point that energy consumption had dropped to an almost negligible amount. This dramatic decrease in windstone consumption ensured that the ship would not require the windwyrm hatchling to sacrifice chunks of his heart for several centuries. It was not a perfect solution, but in the end, it did not need to be, for just under two hundred years after the events of the Windwyrm Incident, the scientists of the Ventus began to observe a thinning of the miasma that plagued the troposphere of the planet. No cause could be determined for this phenomenon, and it was eventually agreed upon to simply be the natural life cycle of the still-mysterious orange vapor. After one hundred years of this thinning--almost a thousand years after the Ascension of the humans--there wasn't a single particle of the miasma remaining.

Humans were able to return to the surface.
It was not an easy transition, for the miasma had destroyed many of the ecosystems on the planet, but humanity managed to forge a new existence on the land that their species had fled a millennium prior. The monstrous creatures that Inpheria, Eldin, and Fenric battled during their acquisition of the windwyrm's egg were no threat, for it seemed that the miasma was the only thing keeping their bodies animated. The absence of that miasma brought true death to those thousand-year-old cursed humans.
The first colony to be established on the surface later became the capital of a nation of humans that eventually expanded to cover the entire planet. That first city grew to become the heart of modern historical knowledge, populated with several museums dedicated to the Ascension and the resettlement of the planet. Tourists interested in the thousand-year-flight of humanity visited these museums, where they learned more about the extinction that their species had narrowly escaped and the full story behind the chosen name of humanity's capital.

8 197The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!

8 155Molting the Mortal Coil
Reincarnated as a child in a new world a mild mannered programmer, named Sage, finds himself struggling to survive. The road to immortality is paved with danger, treasure, and conflict. This mystical eastern world is filled with Demonic Beasts, Treacherous Cultivators, and Extraordinary Legacies. Follow Sage on his journey to adapt to this new world, and find out if he can overcome the limitations of body, mind, and soul. Will he rise to the occasion and become a hero? Or maybe he'll turn to the dark side and end up a villain? Molting the Mortal Coil is more of a slower paced journey. It's not about endless battles and conquering the next bad guy who spits on the main characters shoes or sends him a funny look. There's also not a treadmill of tournaments or love interests. It's more of a slower burn with lots of, and hopefully not too much, world building. It's still supposed to be stuffed with action, but that won't pick up for a while since we start with a weakling. The first 30 chapters have a lot of time-skipping, but stay with me it gets better. I plan to re-write and add more to the first 30 in the future, but if you can push through I feel it gets much more fun after! Updates will be weekly. If you want to see more chapters, check out my Patreon(button at the bottom of every chapter)! Thanks everyone!
