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 37

Sandra and I shot a glance at each other before we shot up to our feet. My bark armor was already half-formed as I turned to Zirani.

"Twin horn?"

She nodded. "Four of them, all first core arcanists."

"Just first core?" Sandra asked. "Doesn't seem so bad."

"It is," Zirani replied. "They're older and definitely have more experience, at least from what I can tell. The way they're moving makes me think of wolves, of hunters. You need to be careful, both of you, they're probably going to try pack tactics, try to wear you down then go in for a killing strike, don't let them. Be as lethal as possible even if you have to get reckless. If you let it go on then you will lose."

"You're not fighting with us?" Sandra asked, worry clear in her voice.
