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.

My first instinct was to kindly turn down her offer, but then I realized that this was a way of gaining more knowledge of this world and taking a break.

"Find, but rather than gold or wherever, I'll take my payment in the form of answers for any questions I ask."

"Only if you don't ask anything too personal," she said, her eyes moving up and down my body. My libido stirred, but I pushed it back down. How could I think of things like that when all my lovers were scattered about in this unfamiliar world?

"Deal," I agreed. "I'm Aiden."

"Tilly," she replied.

She waited to see what I would do, but when I did nothing she frowned. Was there some sort of greeting in this world that I wasn't aware of?
