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 85

I let out a hiss of pain as her fangs bit deep into neck, but before I could fully process that, I felt another feeling, unlike anything I'd ever felt before. My body froze as though I was paralyzed. I tried to move anything part of my body, but even with all my strength, I wasn't even able to twitch a finger.

Then it began.

"Just stay calm," Zirani said. "I can handle things. I'll let you know when I need you."

I went to nod them realized I couldn't and just sent her a mental confirmation instead. I was able just to look at the corner of my sight just in time to see her throat begin to work, and then the draining started. It was a feeling I didn't know how to describe. It wasn't pain, or even discomfort, just an odd feeling like I was getting lighter, though it wasn't a fully physical feeling. I felt an odd feeling in my chest, and for a second thought Zirani had been wrong and that her essence was about to be taken.
