《Rifts in the Weave》044 - Night - October 16, 2020 - Empire of Azmael, Iowa

She wasn’t sure how long she had been resting when she heard steps outside her tent and the flap was thrust out of the way. Raelendra’s green eyes immediately shot open and she was on her feet already beginning a weave when she saw who it was. Instead she spread her hands and bowed low. “Chancellor.”
“The perimeter is secure, I am told you sent for me?” There was a tone in the Chancellor’s voice that spoke of his disgust. “In the future you will present yourself to me when you have need of my expertise.”
“Yes, Chancellor, my apologies. I lost myself.”
He hummed as his imperious grey eyes took in her austere tent. “I am told that you have brought great victory upon us this day by releasing the Weave.”
“Yes, Chancellor.”
“I will forgive your insolence this once. The Empire owes you that much.”
“Thank you, Chancellor.”
“Now, why did you request the honor of my presence?”
“I have freed the Weave in the immediate vicinity of our encampment, which means we can use the Weave to help shore up our defenses. I anticipate that the stable Weave will spread. I requested your presence regarding the storm.”
“Ahh yes, the glowing clouds. Was that you as well?”
“No, Chancellor, not exactly.” Raelendra shook her head. “In the histories of the fall of Hymaera it speaks of storms like that. Mana storms the ancients called them.”
The Chancellor hummed thoughtfully as he studied Raelendra, his expression completely unreadable. As usual, the Chancellor was sharp, precise, and inscrutable. “I recall that the ancient Hymaerans feared the Mana Storms, they changed the very world in the wake of the First Tear.”
“So the histories inform us.”

“The storm has moved away from us.”
“It has, I saw it move off. There will be others though, until this world reaches a balance.”
A slow smile spread across the Chancellor’s face. “Let us hope then, Magus, that the balance is in our favor.”
It took a massive effort to keep a frown from marring her brow as she bowed once more to the Chancellor. “The Emperor’s will be done.”
“In all things, Magus, in all things.” The Chancellor responded before he swept out of her tent as quickly as he had entered.
Raelendra sat heavily on the cot as the strength went out of her knees. What have I done? She asked herself yet again. She kept making the right choices for the Empire, but ever since the magi had torn a hole in reality, Raelendra had begun to doubt the absolute rightness of the Empire.
She stayed for a long while, sitting on the camp cot, staring at her trembling hands. Finally, she forced herself to resume meditating, though the inner calm was difficult to recapture.

Return of the Woodcutter
Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol.With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.Even though Aito doesn’t agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans.Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left.He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path.But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage.A single desire.«I will find redemption no matter the cost.»………Or not, hun, who knows? The book isn’t done yet. Haha—SLAP!«Who put this guy in the synopsis narration?! Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!»***WARNINGS:— The MC is human. If you’re looking for a perfect MC, you’ll only be wasting your time here. However, if you’re looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you’re in the right place.— No harems. However, it doesn’t mean the characters can’t fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn’t necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires.— You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I’ll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.
