Calyn sat at one of the tables on the deck of the airship, her gaze fixed on the scenic landscape that sprawled out below. They were currently flying over the Reni woods, a jungle a little over three weeks by airship from Ethavel. From all the factions that had been trying to get close to Mage Hira and Grenad, Calyn had gained enough resources that she could have focused entirely on ascension for the next ten cycles. It wouldn't have been enough to get her over the line into third tier, but it would have brought her right to the edge of it. Fearing that Roka would take them from her, however, Calyn had left ninety percent of those resources with her aunt for safekeeping. What was even worse was that she had handed over the best of what she had and only remained with the worst ten percent of the gifts. What she had would keep her going for little more than six months. It was a mercy that Roka had turned out to be so understanding. She had been present when Roka, his teacher, and guard

Calyn once again found herself seated on the deck of the airship instead of meditating. The past few months hadn't at all gone the way she'd been expecting it to go. Calyn could remember how she'd felt the moment the deity passed his judgment that she would be his slave for the next hundred cycles. The image that had dominated her mind was standing in between a dragon's open jaws. At any time and for any reason, they could snap shut and that would have been the end of her. She had been fully prepared to live on the edge of a knife for the next hundred cycles. The truth, however, turned out to be almost comically the opposite of what she'd been expecting. Not only was the dragon not interested in her, it wasn't even present. Other than at the Governor's castle, she hadn't encountered the deity again. Even more unexpectedly, the one that the deity was linked to, wa

There was a while of silence between them as Morpheus allowed him to take in what he'd just said. By now, Greg had already worked out that no one around him could see him or interact with him. Otherwise, someone would probably have noticed him Lying on the ground beside the road for three or more weeks straight. Even when the people looked in their direction, they seemed to be looking right through them, none of their eyes able to focus in on Morpheus or himself. Still, even though they seemed to be cloaked in some way, the crowds all around them seemed to instinctively step aside to avoid them as they walked. Greg couldn't help but smile as he jestingly focused on Morpheus' wording. "Why do you say 'you' like you know what infinity plus infinity adds up to? " he questioned. A snort left Morpheus as he replied. "I'm a god, of course, I know what infinity plus infinity adds up to," he stated arrogantly. Greg's brows rose as he turned to the old monk with curiosity. "Really? What do

They had been in this city for six days now. Calyn hadn't been lying when she told Roka that it would take her aunt a little over a week to reach the city. This was why she was shocked when the door to the room she had reserved flew open and standing behind it was Aunt Lina. Before she knew it, Calyn was on her feet and across the room. Just three months ago, she'd been certain that she wouldn't see this woman for another hundred cycles. Seeing her now soothed a deep ache that Calyn had never allowed herself to acknowledge, lest it break her. "It's okay child, everything's going to be okay," Aunt Lina spoke comfortingly, one hand hugging her back while the other gently stroked her hair. Calyn had to bury her face in her aunt's shoulder to keep tears from flowing down her face. For a fleeting moment, all was right with the world. Calyn felt safe as all the questions and choices she had been wondering over fell away. For a single endless moment, all the problems she had been turning i

Despite the power he has, Roka isn't a tyrant. He is content to do his own thing and let others do theirs. All this time, he had the chance to do all that you are suggesting, and yet he hasn't. He's barely even used me as a servant let alone taken liberties with me as you suggest," Calyn countered."And that is better?" Nerissa shot back. The incredulity in her voice relayed that she didn't think this to be the case. "Cousin, you have at your side someone linked to an actual god and you somehow think that fading into the background is your best course of action? Play this correctly and you could end up gleaning knowledge from a deity, and yet you sit here wondering if you should continue pretending that you're free? It would seem I misjudged just how obsessed you are with ascension and gaining more power," Nerissa said in a mock
