Aether Beasts

Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Chapter 240

Sandra's talk with the other representatives went well, as far as I could tell, though I did not like the one called Darn. He was the first overweight arcanist I had ever seen, and not slightly overweight either. His smile was crooked and slimy in the worst way, and he kept going on and on about how he was so glad I had put Kai and his brother in their rightful places.

He wasn't particularly strong, but my instincts still told me to tread carefully which I understood. It wasn't always raw arcane power that made a person dangerous. Someone who knew how to manipulate or had the right connections could cause far more trouble than a single group of average arcanists.

The others were a lot more subdued and it was obvious they didn't really know how to act yet. They were respectful, and clearly wanted to ask her some questions, but weren't sure as to the type of person she was and if she would get offended.
