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.

I turned to the guard and then the consort. "I think it's best the two of you leave."

The guards nodded and as he left muttered, "the verdant princess."

The consort shot me an annoyed look, but then his lady waved a hand, and reluctantly, he left, his eyes on mine as he did, almost daring in a way. I snorted and shook my head which seemed to piss him off, though he left before anything occurred.

Zirani and Aeverie spent a long moment embracing each other before they separated.

"How?" Aeverie was clearly in shock.

"That is a long story," Zirani replied. "And one for later. First, I'd like you to meet the reason I'm still alive."

She motioned to me. "This is Aiden Hawke, and thanks to him and his archvein bloodline I survived."

Aeverie seemed confused and then her eyes widened even further than before. "You… allowed yourself to be bonded?"

"It was that or die," Zirani answered.
