RoyalRoad Writeathon Participant - Fall 2024 Kya woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Her hair was kind of messy, her back was kind of sore... oh, and she was no longer in her bed. Rather, she found herself laying on what could only be called a stone altar in the remnants of an ancient temple. She quickly finds that not only does she have no idea how she got there, but she also has no idea where there even is. Now she must grapple with not only gods and monsters but unravel the mysteries of how she got to this magical place to begin with! Sayrin has had a long and relatively successful career in military. His mastery of his own abilities and creative problem solving have earned him several accolades not normally given to a young captain like him. However, not all is as it seems, as from time to time, his nightmares come out to play. Now he must recover from the damage he himself has done, and better yet, prevent any more from happening again.  Wade doesn't mind a struggle. Doesn't mind fighting and killing monsters of any and every variety. In fact, she almost revels in it. However, at the end of the day, her path of war will always be colored by her desire to heal as well. Even when dealt a terrible hand by circumstances out of her control, she'll make the best of them and earn her way back up the ladder where she belongs.  Expect new chapters once a week! *Days may vary based on my work schedule, please be patient as I try to write as often as I can. Thank you! * Note - This is a work in progress. Editing will be taking place, and there will almost certainly be spelling/grammar errors in the first draft. If I make any major changes, I will document them as a comment below the chapter. But please, feel free to point out any and all mistakes I make, or leave suggestions/ideas for improvement.
