What fate has befallen our dear otter at the paws of the Corgi? :O
A brand-new chapter of Adept Paws! I hope you guys enjoy it. Much as I like editing Sixes Wild, writing this was a nice change of pace. Plus I got to move the plot along like I've been hoping to for months! It's tough to have a story sit in your head for nine chapters, just waiting to spring onto the page.

SillyNeko dubbed this chapter "word-bacon," which I consider to be a glowing review. :D
Let me know what you think as well!

Another excellent chapter. The mysteries of magic become a little less mysterious, but now it seems dragon's magic is not as special as I first thought, it just needs hard work instead of cold cash; still, I want to know the story behind this "Guild gem".
I loved the way Rin used the faerrets to hide herself, and I'm quite amazed they manage to maintain a single color for so long, specially with such distractions as a full body gold plated armor around.
Thanks for this wonderful story, I hope you find some time to keep working on it.

Well, I'm still figuring out exactly how the magic works in this world. In what way do you feel it has become less special? Perhaps I can fix that.
Oh, you'll be hearing more about the Guild gem, don't worry.
I know! Perhaps Rin bribed them with small shiny objects to keep their attention. :D
In keeping with the idea of furry stories being your English study tool, I feel I should tell you that you probably mean "especially," rather than "specially."
I'll be returning to my various online series once I finish up some new revisions on Sixes Wild and return from Further Confusion.

Ok, especial thanks for the correction, I never imagine that both words existed, and with different meanings, those are especially hard to learn.
As for the specialness of dragon magic, from Jax's explanation it seems anyone, with enough study (and a good teacher), can learn dragon magic, while before I thought it was something so special that only a selected few could even learn it, marking Lagan as even more mysterious and isolated. (Perhaps since it's Jax who is describing it, he does think anyone can lear that magic).

I was thinking that magic would work like being a musician-- you can teach anyone to make noise, but it takes years of practice and training to really be able to create soul-stirring music.
Part of the reason I had Jax explain it is because Jax could be wrong. In hindsight, I may end up changing the "Dragon magic" here to something else, but I couldn't think of a name for something that would encompass all magic done manually by furries and dragons without the aid of talismans or sacrifice. I do want dragon magic to be unique, as if it were a gift to the villagers, even though it's similar to normal magic.
Suggestions anyone?

Ok, that's special enough for me, albeit still less special that I first thought (at first I thought it was like being able to curl one's tongue, which requires both practice and a special gene -which I don't have -).
As for the name, as long as it was the dragons who first teach it to the rest of the furs, the name is quite accurate; soul magic, life magic, ribbon magic, will magic, are the first alternatives that come to my mind. In any case, each society could have a different name for the same thing, it happens a lot.
And as long as we're on the subject on magic, there is another aspect of it I like to know; I know it's the physicist in me talking but, where exactly does the energy to perform magic comes from? I know you can simply say it's "a special kind of energy", but I like to think that even fictional constructs are coherent with real world physics, and that means that at last the basic laws of physics stand, for example the conservation of energy. So for a wizard to create a shield strong enough to shatter a steel axe, she must have had that same energy stored in another form before hand (and it takes a fair amount of energy to break the bond between steel atoms, even making use of the kinetic energy the enemy used to swing it).

Good ideas, especially the I like the "soul magic" and "life magic." (Now you've got me using "especially" in every comment! :D) I'll have to give that some thought.
Hmmm. I hadn't considered that it might be genetic. Perhaps the dragons influenced them somehow.
As for where the magic comes from, here's what I was thinking:
The laws of physics in this world are the same as ours with one exception: living things generate "a special kind of energy" as part of their normal biological processes-- basically life energy. I was thinking they generate more life energy than their body needs and it normally just radiates away. Mages and druids, however, can focus it into strands which they can shape into useful spells. (This is why mages can't cast spells constantly-- they run out of extra life energy.) Likewise, blood magic steals someone's life energy and turns it into magic. The source of the Guild gem's power is a mystery...
Interestingly enough, under this system, it would be possible for one person to make a strand of magic and another to actually make it into a spell.
Did you have some thoughts on what could power spells in this setting?

Well, humans consume between 6 and 12 MJ (Mega Joules) in food every day, and as warm body mammals use close to all of it to maintain body heat (a small portion of it is used to repair and grow the body, contract muscles, or send signals through the nervous system). If the living being of your world have a better thermal isolation than our mammals do, and they eat the same amount, the surplus of energy might be converted to your "special kind of energy" (instead of fat, as it happens to us).
A highly efficient being of this kind could eat a lot without gaining weight, would feel quite cold to touch, and could store most of the energy from food in your "special king of energy", giving it a surplus of about 10 MJ per day. Since breaking the bonds of about 100 g of steel takes about 1 MJ, I guess it could be done, but the spell caster would eat a lot more than non spell casters.
Unless the non spell casters still store the energy, don't use it, and have some way of getting rid of it (otherwise they would be walking time bombs), then all the character can eat the same amount, and that justifies why the blood magicians steel this energy.
Another completely different way of getting energy is a more efficient digestive tract (which is genetic, by the way), ours extracts only between 25% and 60% of the energy in food (depending on its ease to digest), a biology more efficient could extract more energy from the same amount of food, and thus a normal diet could produce up to 50 MJ.
Well, this is all numbers in the void, since all is imaginary about fictional characters, but at least it makes my inner physicist happy.

"Steel" = metal
"Steal" = take without permission
Interesting. I like the idea that the furries might have a more efficient digestive tract and convert the rest to potential spell energy. (Though it makes me wonder if mages would end up with magic-fat if they didn't use it enough!)

I always get those two wrong; still, it's less embarrassing than confusing "once" with "eleven".
And the magic-fat could be a serious health hazard, since energy will try to find the fastest way to increase entropy, and that means turning into heat, as fast as possible, also known as explosion.

I find the concept of Blood Magic to be an Interesting one. In fact, I could see a sort of a "Bloodconomy Snowball Effect" (pardon the terribad word-slicing) coming from it. Especially if it's in an area that would get alot of travelers (like a single land-bridge between two major continents). What I picture is a bunch of Blood Magic using tribes, fighting for control of the fore-mentioned land bridge/area of many travelers. The tribes would kill each other (as that's what's expected when one uses a magic fueled by sacrifice), and in turn acquire more blood for more magic for more killing. This would either escalate to the destruction of all the tribes, or a single Tribe that would rule the Land Bridge. Now anyone passing through there would be killed for more magic, making the Single Tribe more powerful. However, this would scare potential travelers away, resulting in a blood Deficit for the Tribe. The Tribe would eventually either give up Blood Magic, or turn on it's residents for more power. The latter would cause outrage in the populace, resulting in civil war after civil war until the Super Tribe is broken down into many, smaller tribes. Then the tribes are back at square one, and the process will continue indefinitely, or until the tribes/Tribe give up Blood Magic all together (or they all die).
And that's assuming you have to kill someone in order to get the "Special Energy" you mentioned. If you can extract safe amounts (i.e. without killing the blood "donor") then it's sort of a magical-industrial-revolution-cycle. The Super Tribe could instead place a "blood tax" on anyone wanting to travel through the Land Bridge, allowing for more magical development. They might eventually find some way to magically collect the blood-tax automatically from people passing trough (assuming that you could create a spell that extracts more magic than it costs to use/maintain). And then they'd get someway to safely get the magic. And then a way to get the Magic to work without any supervision at all! And with all this success, it would make sense for the Tribe (more of an Empire now) to try and expand. But the expansion would strain the Bloodconomy, as travelers would then end up being naturally divided up amongst the colonies. Eventually, the automated magic would then cost more magic to use than it would produce (what with the lack of travelers and all), resulting in manually operated, less safe blood tax collection. This would theoretically result in less traffic (as no one wants to undergo a procedure they could die from if they could just take say, a ship around the Land Bridge), resulting in even less safe procedures. Eventually, the Empire would either switch to a new way to power their economy, or turn on it's residents for more magic. Then the civil wars, etc. etc. and the Empire is now a bunch of warring tribes, and the cycle repeats until it is broken.
Of course, this is making a huge number of assumptions about very specific circumstances. If the area of traffic is easily avoided, with plenty of alternate routes, than the tribes will be stuck in the Tribe-to-Tribe-to-tribes cycle. And then if it's the ONLY way to travel well...I think I'm going to stop now, before I make this gets too long to possibly read. Except for the tl;dr.
TL;DR: Tribes on area of heavy traffic. Tribes fight with Blood Magic, one wins and controls the area. Kills people going trough for more magic, people stop going through. Tribe turns on itself for more power, breaks itself down into smaller tribes. Repeat. Or Tribe uses magic to get more magic, becomes an Empire. Empire gets too big, cannot use magic for more magic, turns on itself. Breaks down into tribes. Repeat until tribes stop using magic or they all die. End of cycle.
*phew* Longest TL;DR evar. Anyway, just wanted to throw that concept out there, see if it amounts to anything useful.

Huh. I honestly never thought of that. An interesting idea. It honestly took me this long to respond because your comment really made me think. The vampires are really not something I've explored enough in this world yet, so I may well have to use some variation on your "blood tithe" theme at some point when they enter the City of Fangs.
Thanks so much for the input! :D

Flots has got to by my favorite character! I’ve always been a sucker for otters, especially the lively, tale-seeking ones, and the scene with Flots meeting with the Corgi was quite adorable. And as always, the funny-talking fearrets are always amusing, adding some comical relief to the story.
But that’s also a problem. The side characters with their distinguished, memorable personalities are more or less stealing the show, robbing the spotlight from the more central characters. Consequently Alestor, no doubt one of the “central characters”, doesn’t quite get the focus he deserves. The former king is heroic and brave and all that - in a rather traditional, medievalist way. But his bland character has a hard time competing with, for example, the witty fearrets.
I have a similar problem with Rea and her charming but rather quiet boyfriend Jax. (is it only me, could very well be just me, but I feel that this character hasn’t gotten much dialogs at all) Its wonderful to see the two character reunited, as they make a perfect couple! But it feels like the plot, with the dragons, magic and bats and the fictional, fantasy politics, is all happening too fast. Im still waiting for the more or less “obligatory” scene in which Rea and Jax get to have some alone time, romantically reunifying as a couple. Sure, they are obviously happy to meet each other but their passionate reunion really didn’t get much attention in the previous chapters. (Again this is just my humble opinion)
Nonetheless! The search for Rin added some mystery to the chapter. I always thought that leopard was a bit fishy! The scene when the impressive dragon lands and the champion queen arrives, right when the villagers gathered before the stables, was really great. Overall the entire chapter was as always very well written. You are a natural, no doubt.
And don’t take the criticism above (if you can call it that) too seriously. I was just being pedantic in my attempt to add something more constructive than “another great chapter”. ;)

I do see your point with the faerrets stealing the spotlight. In many ways, this series is a prototype for an eventual Adept Paws book. I'm trying to get a feel for the world, sort of like I did with the original Sixes Wild stories before starting on the novel.
It's tough for me to balance characters like Chib-bib and Flots against those like Rea and Alaster, especially in the format of a chapter released every few months. I feel the urge to keep things moving, to keep things exciting so readers keep coming back for more after long breaks. If I were writing this as a novel, I think I'd have let myself slow down here and there and have more character-building scenes. That way, some of the quieter characters can shine.
Anyway, back to the faerrets stealing the show. That will be changing in the coming chapters-- the little critters are returning home victorious, forks held high. As for Jax and Rea, they'll be getting some time alone as well.
As always, thanks for the comment. It really helps me develop the story and the world.

Well, this was just my perspective given my own preferences. For example, I love romance and thats why I felt Jax and Rea didnt get enough focus previously. I've already come to care about your characters and that is the only reason I cared to mention this is the first place. While this might be a problem in the future, it really isnt a problem now. I was more speaking of a potential (I cant overstress the "potentialness" in this statement) problem that might come in the future.
Oh and I've started reading Sixes Wild actually! But comments will come later. I just commented on Bolt 11 and all. ^^

Finally have a moment to leave a comment. I am loving this series so far. In the interest of not leaving a brick of text for you to try and read how about some good ol' fashioned bullet points?
Likes:
*The fantasy setting-always a personal favorite
*Not every chapter is filled with gratuitous sex; the erotic portions are both well written and spaced out nicely. IMHO it keeps the erotica more special.
*Faerrets! The perfect furry fae!
Dislikes:
*You don't have more time to work on this story. Yes, that's my only complaint.
I would absolutely love to see this in graphic novel form, if you've ever considered that an option.
Once I find more time (weak hysterical laughter) I'm treating myself to some of your other stories.

*Fantasy settings are great, since they literally let you do anything, though they're challenging, since they literally let you do anything. I'm in the middle of fine-tuning the world and its rules before I get too far into the series.
*What sort of furry would I be if every chapter had gratuitous sex? :D
*You have, my edit-corgi, to thank for developing the faerrets with me. I actually have a little project in production involving faerrets... it'll be posted here after I finish a few other shorts stories in progress.
*Well, once I release Sixes Wild summer, I should have a lot more time to work on this. Let me know what you think of that series too!
Oh, and don't worry about leaving a brick of text, so long as it continues to have proper punctuation.
I'd actually never considered an Adept Paws graphic novel. I'm currently involved in my first graphic novel project, which I'll be announcing in the next few months.

Well, faerrets are of course a major point, due almost entirely to their adorable (but I suspect that this is a common thing, so I shall move on!)
The very first installment caught my attention most immediately and had me wanting to follow the dragon story- Rea threw me for a bit of a loop (coming right after the dragons and all that) and admittedly you lost me with the erotica... but brought me back with a clever mixture of Toskun and Chib-bib.
I must say that I rather prefer the romance between Amethyst and Alaster, to the one budding betwixt Jaxand Rea, but i suspect that that's more of a personal preference- I do love, as well, the world that you're building. it's caught my fancy and I cannot wait to experience more of it.

The faerrets make me so happy. *wags* They're so full of whimsy that they make Toskun seem even more gruff than he is! Writing their dialog is a challenge, since I am not a ferret, no-no-no. I must admit I'm intrigued that you like both Toskun and Chib-bib. :D Is it because of their banter?
Yeah, the sex scenes probably aren't going to make it into the final version-- I was just trying things out to see where the series took me. Part of the reason I posted this online was to let you guys watch me experiment, explore the world, and react to your feedback. :) And personally, I like Ammy and Alley better as a couple too. ^_^ One of the main things I intend to change about this series in the next six months is going back and developing Rea and Jax more.
Interestingly enough, the world of this series is more or less the same one I set for my D&D games (converted to 100% furry, of course). It's actually a really fun way to see what sorts of elements work in a fantasy setting. In a way, this whole endeavor is an extension of my desire to not have a "standard" fantasy setting-- i.e. sylvan elves, ale-swilling dwarves, magic with no rules beyond serving plot, et cetera. Needless to say, my friends sometimes think I'm a little nuts for coming up with a race of zen corgi monks, but they're usually too busy partying with the fey to notice. Which aspects of the world did you find most appealing?

Hey, I'm really enjoying this story and will look at your other works, but I wanted to know if you're still working on this somewhere or if you've prioritized other projects over it? Chapter 9's "next" link is dead, and I don't see any more main stories in the folder. Great series so far. I especially love the dragon-focused plot.
Not to worry—I haven't abandoned it! But I have other novels to finish first. You can find several bonus stories in the series in the folder. https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....iginal-Series/ : )
