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 265

When Aneva had said we'd appear next to her, I'd assumed that was what she meant. Next to her. Not on top of her. Sandra let out a yelp as I hit her, and a moment later, so did Tilly who landed on top of me.

"Aiden?"

"Yeah, I'm here," I said. "Tilly?"

"I'm fine, mostly."

Tilly rolled off me, and I got to my feet quickly or tired too, but my head hit something. I looked around and rolled my eyes. We were in a cage and surrounded by stunned guards. Of course, we were because nothing was easy for me. I glanced at Sandra whose body was now encased in shadows. "Enemies, I'm assuming?"

Her smile was grim. "Yes, all of them."

That was all I needed to hear. I focused and pulled solar aether up to my hands. I let out thin beams of solar energy, aiming them at the chains binding Sandra. After that, darkness engulfed us as shouting arose from around us. I felt Sandra form a technique and heard the bending of metal.
