The Dark Device of the Great Chasm, Chapter 5

Amates 15, 1277. Tagrica Silk Square. Underside district, Ishnanor. Walking to a safer place because there was a lot of explaining to do…
 
    Tyre stroked his beard, watching me with that measuring look of his while we navigated the late afternoon Silk Square market crowds. It wasn’t me he was measuring; it was the whale of an explanation I just gave him.
 
   The colorful shade sail cloth rustled overhead. Light Planus breezes coming through the ancient lava tube were more active than usual today...

The Dark Device of the Great Chasm, Chapter 4

Amates 15, 1277. Salty Nightingale. Underside District on the marsh-side. Where the trouble really began…
 
   It didn’t take long to weave through the afternoon crowd of the Silk Square to reach the dark stained oak door of the Salty Nightingale. The pub was set back from the Silk Square down a short close, or alley, from the main market walkways.
 
   Being set back a short distance helped keep the noise from the market down. It also cut down on any snooping eyes and ears. The ‘Gale had a very par...

Five weeks of sail later.
Amates 15, 1277. Windtracer Company Records Hall, City of Ishnanor. Planus Continent     

     “I can’t believe you did it.”
 
    I frowned at Lorekeeper Ihodis Jenro and his comment, then set the gray, box-shaped relic on the desk between us. It was no larger than a loaf of bread. The thing was stained, battered, but despite age and travel, none the worse for wear. At least, that is, for a thousand year old relic.
 
    The Lorekeeper’s sky-blue eyes lit up at the sight of ...

The Dark Device of the Great Chasm, Chapter 1

Summer, 1277, deep in the rainforest of the Chivit Continent
 
    It wasn’t my best day.
 
    I tore through the curtain of cobwebs like they weren’t even there, then bolted for the doorway. The doors were still open, but the wood I had jammed between them and their doorframe wasn’t going to last long. A pathetic groan echoed through the ante-chamber around me, followed by the staccato sound of wood splintering.
 
    Correction, those wooden braces weren’t going to last another few seconds. I ran f...

It's been a little bit since the last update. Work on the first major story for the Fiven Chronicles is coming along well. For this update, I thought I'd give some insight into a different part of the ecosystem.
The locals have a concept of magic, but it has more to it than just simple mythology. I give you The Weave .
