Patina – Chapter 159
Fortunato did not know exactly what to expect when he began to use Cruoromancy on Elissa. He laid next to her on a thin mattress, the thin tubes connecting his scarred flesh to her charred one. He made sure to plunge the needles deep into her skin, at this point her nerves were likely completely…

Patina – Chapter 158
Sadja may have been a tad too optimistic – even if she forced herself out of bed and walked out of Arguta’s home, she still found herself dizzy and every step made her body ache horribly. Plus, she was hungry and the smith had always been one to believe in light meals and big bowls…

Patina – Chapter 157
By morning it was time to rebuild. No matter Fortunato’s hunch about the town being more or less safe from now on, decades of experiences trumped any lovely sentiment like that. And the morning dawned on the embers of a half-destroyed town. The outer districts were all but destroyed, reduced to little more than rubble…

Patina – Chapter 156
Cloria knew she had come too late – but maybe for the the first time in her life, or the last few years at the very least, she was grateful someone else was having all the luck in the world. She cried out from Bernardo’s embrace, a long and wailing sound, her throat parched from…

Patina – Chapter 155
I did not know where I was, she explained. Her voice was just as melodious as the last time he had heard I and his heart throbbed at holding her once again, so close. She did not smell like anything. Perhaps just a bit like old cinders, the kind you forget in the dark corners.…

Patina – Chapter 153
They helped Arguta standing up. The roar of the engines and the lights coming back up had taken her by surprise – as they did everyone else. One moment, they’d been sharing tired gazes, listening to the oppressing silence between the dead walls as the siege continued, knowing that they would soon lose any chance…

Patina – Chapter 152
One by one, the lights sparked up in blooms of brightness. Starting from the mouth of the Generator and the Temple, they spread in waves upon waves. The survivors and the wounded, the stunned and the fighters, they all fell silent as the dead while they watched the strings of lamp light up. Past the…

Patina – Chapter 150
Sadja! Who was calling her? She was so tired. The assault was relentless… her arms ached and her heart begged her to just lay down and sleep. Sadja! Came the voice again. She blinked, annoyed at the calls. Why couldn’t they just leave her alone? She had done nothing bad to anyone. She did not…

Patina – Chapter 149
To him, the nightmare just never really ended. It began with Lenora’s takeover and the first time the town had been overrun – and back then the Generator had come back more or less on its own. They had had a chance to fight. Now what chance did he have? “Leave her alone,” he wheezed,…

Patina – Chapter 148
Sadja was being eaten alive. She screamed inwardly as laughing mouths bit into her psyche, ripping it off in a thousand direction at once, each bit a flash of pain. The roar of the mind attack went beyond anything she had experienced so far: even Verna’s power was gentler and smoother, this was just onslaught.…
