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 207

I parted ways with Isaac when we got back to the plaza. He thanked me for my time and then left.

It had been a good time, and Isaac had been interesting to talk to, especially since he knew a lot, which made sense since he was a scholar.

As I was making my way back to the green court area, I focused on my bonds to check on the girls, which caused me to stumble into someone.

I pulled back. "Oh sorry I…"

My words trailed off as I realized that I had walked into the figure wrapped in bandages, and this close I could see it was a woman as the figure was feminine. She wore a coat over the bandages, but nothing else, and I couldn't tell if she was wearing anything underneath. Her right eye was milky white with no pupil while the other was grey. I saw no emotion in either, and for a moment we just stared at each other.

"Ermm, sorry about that," I said. "I didn't mean to walk into you."

"It's fine," she replied, and her voice was a little rough, though still feminine.
