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 167

"Before we get into that, what's your name?" I asked, not really wanting to keep referring to her as not Natalia, or the madame since I doubted she wanted to be remembered as either.

She frowned and looked like she might burst into tears right then and there. "I can't remember."

I shot a worried look at Zirani who frowned, a thoughtful expression coming to her face.

"What do you remember?' Sandra asked.

"I-I remember what happened in the b-brothel and…" She trailed off as a faraway look appeared in her eyes. "I remember a village, and… screaming. I t-think they took me."

"I see." I turned to Zirani. "Does that mean what I think it means?"

She nodded. "Most likely these girls were taken from outside the city so as to not arouse any sort of suspicion. Taken from small communities like villages that wouldn't be able to defend themselves from a full-on assault by trained arcanists."
