Entry: 2/014 - Darcinderaht
Dear self,
The Darcinderaht is a powerful reptile with strong affinities towards fire and ash. A healthy Darcinderaht is capable of spewing a cone of sparks and embers to ignite predators and scare off rivals. They tend towards impressive weight for their size and have an incredibly tough hide.
They are herbivorous, as they prefer finding enchanted plants and turning them to ash so as to infuse the magical essences with fire aspects and aid in their absorption. An adult Darcinderaht will grow throughout its life if it is fed in abundance and older specimens have been known to exceed a span in height alone.
A Darcinderaht will have a strong aversion to cold and will sicken if exposed to elemental cold regularly or when consuming anything with a strong aspect of cold. When becoming ill they will gain an intense fever and will behave erratically. Such Darcinderaht will be unusually aggressive and might behave strangely and in contradiction to their normal nature. If they become very sick their appetite will increase while their ember attack weakens with their lessening fever, and they will also run or hide more often than trying to defend themselves. Most illnesses might easily be fought off by bathing the creature in hot ash and regular exposure to strong sunlight.
They are prized for their ember breath, which is infused with a daylight aspect from their tendencies towards sunbathing. There are also several kingdoms that use components of the Darcinderaht in cultural rituals, which has contributed to their gradual decline and their current endangerment.
Hope we fare well.
Regards,
Me.

The Gray God
This is the sequel to The Gray Mage, however, reading it is not required to understand this story. Three centuries after the god Rynovar claimed Earth as his own domain, ending the Fourth Age of Magic, he ruled the world from a floating continent. Deciding to allow humans a chance at having a wished granted or a question answered, Rynovar created a quest fifty years into his reign. Upon completing the quest, those who undertook it would be granted an audience with him and permission to make a single request or ask a single question. However, two and a half centuries after he issued the quest, none had succeeded and the quest was believed impossible, several stages of it having never before been completed. When nineteen-year-old Cyrus met Lyda at a restaurant, he broke the norm of his life cleaning up his brothers' messes and keeping them behaving to avoid causing issues for the public. Upon hearing her desire to earn enough money to attempt Rynovar's quest, Cyrus chose to help her complete what was believed to be one of the quests' impossible stages, revealing that he himself had a question for the god he wanted answered...

Unfortunately for him, the Tower is changing, and the world's deadliest job is about to become even deadlier. With the help of his two new companions, a spitfire named Lucy, hellbent on becoming the world's most powerful mage, and Perry, a cheerful girl hiding a troubled past, Wren may just survive long enough to remember what it's like to live.The gore and sexual content warnings are mostly for future content, though there are some depictions of gore in the first chapter.
