    Summary

    “How do you do it? Control it, make it do whatcha want, stop it from taking over you and control you, keep it from going all…bleh.”

    “Bleh?”

    “You know what I mean.”

    He snickered, shaking his head, but the smile slipped from his lips as they settled into a neutral line. He leaned on his cane to look up at the sky.

    “I don’t. I mean, not really. People think it’s this majestic, all knowing force, but it’s a lot more like a child, always watching, always learning. When it connects with us, it tunes into every fiber of our being. It doesn’t know anything at first, we shape it with our every thought, our every use, every action. We’re its compass, moral or otherwise. You know what they say, what goes around comes around, that’s very literal here. I just…learned that a lot sooner than others do. They take from the world, so it learns to take. I give of myself, and only myself, so it gives in return…"

    He glanced down at his hands, examining them carefully as they glowed faintly in the moonlight.

    "...at least, that’s what I tell myself. That’s what I hope is the truth.”

    -

    Or, what might've happened if Viktor's path with the arcane looked a little different.

    Summary

    For the past five years, Virgil has been stuck in an orphanage with only bad memories and music to keep him company. There had been hope, at first, that if he smiled and behaved he’d find a loving family to call his own. But in the end that hope died, crushed under the truth his father had so often repeated- something in Virgil, hidden deep beneath the polite exterior, was rotten.

    Simply put, Virgil was a bad omen. No matter who fostered him, their lives crumbled in Virgil’s presence. It started with small things- a leaking sink here, a cracked window there-, but it inevitably escalated until a broken marriage or a burning roof led them to return Virgil. After the eighth or ninth time, he stopped forcing a cheery attitude and accepted that he wasn’t worth the effort. Any effort. It would be best if everyone left him alone to melt into his corner and disappear.

    But there was someone that wanted him, a couple that was almost as strange as he was. Despite his warnings, they took him in and gave him a warm home. And yet... can they really fix the broken mechanism of Virgil’s heart? And is this magical new world as wondrous as it seems, or are there monsters lurking in the shadows?

    Summary

    For the last two years the city of Sanders has been under the attack of the two villains Deceit and Anxiety, and for the last two years it has been defended by the three heroes Morality, Logic and Creativity.

    However, no one can ever be classified as inherently good or bad, and sometimes a person isn't all that they appear to be.

    Summary

    The Emperor has called for necromancers; the best of the best. Every good necromancer needs a swordsman. It's a shame not many of them survived the trip over—but sometimes you've got to make do with what you've got.

    Walking the path to immortality isn't an easy process. Uncovering the identity of a shadowy murderer isn't much better. The basement is full of ghosts, hands are crawling from the walls, and terrible secrets are hiding in each and every room.

    ...Thomas really should have gone to that wedding while he still had the chance.

    Summary

    The war between the kingdoms of Silvales and Ignebris has gone for far too long, and the situation on the rest of the Continent is only getting worse. The Academy has trained magic users for centuries, bringing together people from all over the Continent to become a powerful force - it's only natural that they bring together a team of the most powerful magic users, to help finally bring Ignebris down.

    Roman and Remus, royalty from Silvales. Declan, a knight of Silvales. Patton, a healer from Lanamia. Logan, an academic from Nochae. And finally Virgil, a simple farm boy from Therba. Their task was simple - travel across the Continent to defeat yet another Dragon Witch, a task that they'd done so many times before.

    But when the past begins to catch up with them, and they run into even more problems on the Continent, will they be able to succeed in their mission? Or, perhaps, will they be able to do something more?
