Chapter 73: Your Mother Called Me
She couldnβt believe she almost forgot. The winter often brought severe weather with it and many of the villagers lacked the experience and expertise to traverse questionable conditions on the water to get to the islands. The test island would be fine; the residents there had adequate water, shelter, storage for food, as well as a place to cook and bathing and toilet facilities.The problem was t...
Aila's Ramblings - Prepare to Binge Read on the 1st
Votes are in and so I will be posting the chapters for the beginning of March all at once on the 1st. I DID check for cliffhangers.Chapter 78 - Yes, but the big convo with Sebby is completed. It's just something new pops up at the end. It will be resolved in the next chapter; my mini-arcs are just a 2-4 chapters long for the most part.Chapter 81 - Kind of, but it's more curiosity than anyt...

Chapter 72: Hiding Like Weβre Criminals
βIf we get into a fight, I want Hart.ββSonia, no.β Tori closed her eyes and took a deep breath. βWeβre not going to get into a fight.β Even if itβs outside of school, Iβm sure instigating a brawl, especially with those people, will get us in trouble, if not expelled and that is the last thing I need right now.βWhat do we do?β Ewan clutched the bowl of ice water against him.β...

Chapter 71: In the Face
It mustβve been the muffled sound of the horses pulling the large carriage or perhaps the slight creak of the wood, but Tori tilted her head and rubbed her ear. She was sure she heard incorrectly.βWhat?β She furrowed her brows and squinted at Axton, who was seated on the bench across from her, Ilyana, and Nanny Rey.βI mustβve heard wrong as well,β Ilyana let out a small, nervous laugh....

Chapter 70: Push Aiden Into the Well
This was not the birthday dinner that Tori thought they would be having when she asked Axton if he wanted anything to eat for his birthday. She had been hesitant to ask, as they were eating dinner at one of the poshest restaurants in the empire. Axton told her that he would settle for a frozen strawberry dessert and would like to play a round of dungeon crawl.He had listened in while she was leadi...

Aila's Experiment - Discord
Today is 2/9/22. This invite link will work for 7 days (or at least it should).So, I've had this since December and have gone back and forth on using it. I am very new to it and have little time to experiment, but since everyone seems to really want a discord, let's give this a go and see how this works. https://discord.gg/cKEgJgBpAs a head's up, I don't know what I'm doing and...
Chapter 69: Deal With Her Mano a Mano
After having so many first years around the previous week, it felt much quieter now, when they were on their excursion. The upperclassmen and those in her class were able to focus on their training sets without having to stop and instruct the first years. Captain Messer was having a good spar with GG while Master McDouglass watched and shouted from the side of the ring.Tori finished checking on th...
Chapter 68: Where Do You Get the Audacity
It was a good idea to keep their supplies from the excursion together. Although Uncle Maurizo took some to Alpine Valley and the twins had brought their sleeping bags and tent when they visited the delta, the items were all returned to storage at Auntie Luciaβs. It made it an easy matter to gather all the items to bring to LycΓ©e for the Sword Associationβs sponsored camping lecture.Tori, Ilya...

Chapter 67: I Enjoy a Good Challenge Every Now and Then
βYouβre not wrong,β Tori said as she lowered her trembling hands. The folded sheet clenched in it was held firm. βMost students wouldnβt spend this much. Most wonβt even come near to spending this much. And it does make sense that there is a limit to the studentβs spending on a singular project. However....β The air felt colder and Sonia and JP shuddered as the others looked at Tor...

Chapter 66: Itβs as If He Doesnβt Want to Go Home
The comcry kept pulsing, but Instructor Ignatius didn't answer. Tori let out a little grumble and tried to quell her excitement. To be fair to Instructor Ignatius, he was either assisting with the arrival of the first-year students or working on a lesson plan. Tori slid her finger across the crystal and debated on calling Master Ramos.She shook her head and flipped the comcry closed. Master Ra...

Chapter 65: You Kids Want a Tour?
Tori froze. She looked up from her drink and stared at JP. βHow much money?ββI donβt know,β JP said. βBut it was enough for her and her father to get into a very intense argument at the inn. Our neighbor works there and said they had to paste a silence charm on their door and around the floor because they were so loud.ββI heard she ran out of the inn afterwards,β Sonia said. βB...

Chapter 64: Flip It
βNo!

Chapter 63: You Told Me You Loved Me
There was a specific kitchen that prepared all the food for hired workers, imperial knights, and volunteers from UniversitΓ©. It wasnβt far from Toriβs tent and when Nanny Rey was with her, she would prepare Toriβs food there. Until Nanny Rey returned, the cooks at the staff kitchen, who were villagers Tori hired, would also prepare their food.The food was placed in a wooden heating box with...
Chapter 62: We Cannot Let Him Become Distracted
βMatthieu-Philippe.β Tori thought the General looked like Piers, but as he greeted the Emperor in a surprisingly annoyed, if not cold, voice, she thought he sounded more like Sebastian and Kasen when they talked to Piers.Maybe itβs an older brother thing? Tori wrinkled her nose a bit. Perhaps the General also thought no one was good enough for his sister. The Emperor didnβt look at all bot...
Chapter 61: This is Some Fairy Tale Sh*t
βSo, he did.β Piers didnβt sound surprised. It was more as if he were agreeing with her observation.Tori narrowed her eyes. She didnβt expect Alessa to be there. Most students who werenβt locals arrived one or two weeks before school started. In addition, for Alessa to be there now, she mustβve either only remained in Chetterswickshire for a few days or came directly to Horizon from Ki...
Chapter 60: Don't Listen to His Negativity
Just because she was nice to people did not mean she was seducing them. If Sebastian wanted to lecture someone on being careful with their words and actions, so as not to mislead another party, he shouldβve lectured Piers. Tori had huffed that she was not seducing Piers, or anyone for that matter, but her brother just looked at her with concern, as if he knew something she didnβt.Thankfully, A...
Aila's Ramblings - 1/20/22
Okay, guys, wish me luck! This weekend, I've planned a escape room/treasure hunt for one of my best friend's kid's birthday. It's my first time coming up with such a thing and I got my brother and friends to help with ideas, but I will be the 'host/guide', so I'm kind of nervous that there 1 - aren't enough puzzles to figure out and 2 - the final (fake) coin I have ...
Chapter 59: We Wonβt Be Doing That
Goddammit, Piers, have you no regard for your safety? Tori wanted to scream at him. Piers knew Sebastian was coming. It wasnβt a secret; sheβd told him herself. She ground her teeth together. Never mind that, Tori. Focus.She needed to defuse the situation at once, and without showing any favoritism towards Piers. If she appeared to side with him over her brother, then it would only upset Sebas...
