Niobee watched over King as he slept and used the night to check on her body. She found that she didn’t need to sleep as much these days, the Tower’s mana kept her in peak condition and she didn’t seem to accumulate fatigue.

He now noticed a slight force on his body, the room seemed to be pulling him towards the edge of the plateau. The force was less than the mana around him might suggest, which he assumed was his Tower Keeper immunity at work. He gl...

2025-06-26 20:05:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe Hunger surged at the entrance of Belissar’s Tower once more, as it did at the start of each purification. But this time, rather than being halted by the Tower’s power, it flowed along the trail of Hunger the swarm had left behind.

Being the pixie princess and a demigod to boot gave her an instinctual control of magic, though, so she could do this much in her sleep.

Hi all,
Hope you're surviving Monday even with the egregious lack of bees. Maybe it'll help if you get to think about bees a bit? While editing, I've thought about two separate issues, figure this week is a good time to bring them up.
