Year 1, day 38: Using lumber purchased from a mill near Threed (Way of the Mob for the win), we built a dock on Beak Point. Wasn’t easy getting down the cliff from the ocean, but having more than one team member capable of flight made it easier. We also built a high sturdy fence … Continue reading Chapter 2: 0.1 Years
Chapter 5.1: 0.0 Years
“….aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-” CRASH! I landed in a face-down belly flop. It hurt, but somehow I don’t think I was injured. Still took a minute to get up. “Where…?” I was beside a walking path in a grassy area, at the foot of some small rocky hills. At the end of the path was a shack in … Continue reading Chapter 5.1: 0.0 Years
Interlude 4.5
“….aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-” CRASH! I landed in a face-down belly flop. It hurt, but somehow I don’t think I was injured. Still took a minute to get up. I had nothing to mutter. The others dropped back in around me, though they quickly returned to their original forms. I wanted to address the elephant in the room … Continue reading Interlude 4.5
Jump 5 is done!
Interlude 4.5 and the chapters for layer 5 will be queued up and start appearing tomorrow. This will be a shorter one, a mere eleven chapters and just barely making my 6K minimum. Simply didn't have a lot to say about this one.
Chapter 4.23: 10 Years
Year 10, day 365: Reportedly, after we got everyone back on L’ourse’s ship and my team briefed me of everything that was going on, I slept for three days. In the meantime, we reunited with Terra (very relieved we were still alive), got Cody to the warehouse medbay, and locked Anita’s Master Ball in the … Continue reading Chapter 4.23: 10 Years
Chapter 4.22: 9.65 Years
Year 10, day 237: I’ve explored the most dangerous dungeons known to Pokémonkind, fought the most dangerous monsters, survived three weeks in Hell, and lasted two months in a constant game of cat-and-mouse with a cabal of witches. And yet this day, where everything came to a head, is perhaps the most intense day of … Continue reading Chapter 4.22: 9.65 Years
Chapter 4.21: 9 Years
Year 10, day 1: Dawn of the final year, three hundred and sixty-five days remaining. The wait itself is just… agonizing. I almost want Anita to make her move already just to break the tension. We’re as prepped as I suspect we’re ever going to be, but it feels more and more like holding a … Continue reading Chapter 4.21: 9 Years
Chapter 4.20: 8.47 Years
Year 9, day 172: The full set of twenty Power Gems has been assembled! I must get in contact with L’ourse immediately for another trip to the World of the Ocean King! Year 9, day 175: So, here’s a revelation I wasn’t quite expecting. Spirit Island is a pretty unassuming island. Small, one cave. Easily … Continue reading Chapter 4.20: 8.47 Years
Chapter 4.19: 7.84 Years
Year 8, day 307: I can’t believe it’s taken me nearly eight years to figure something out: if Anita’s goal is to turn the Rito back into Zora, she’s going to have to do something about Valoo. The large ancient dragon was the catalyst of the transformation, after all, and their biggest defender. Which begged … Continue reading Chapter 4.19: 7.84 Years
Chapter 4.18: 7.22 Years
Year 8, day 81: Two more Power Gems have been found during excursions to the World of the Ocean King. That’s eighteen now. Twig’s learned of an island there with a spring that’ll be able to fully grant him the Gem’s power, though it won’t be of substantial use until we get all twenty. I’ve … Continue reading Chapter 4.18: 7.22 Years
