Ignoring the Insanity

by Logiturnus

Chapter 27 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

The empty alley did not answer his question. The stars hanging above his head also held their answers. The stillness felt damning. The sailor took a deep breath and decided to move along. If it was not a problem he could solve immediately, and was definitely far too bizarre to be...

Moving Onward

Chapter 26 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Svend, Leif, and Dortas stared at him horrified. They had noticed he always sat further from the fire than everyone else, and finally understood why. “Wilkes, we… we didn’t know.” Leif spoke quietly, they had read Thomas’s name in the records before. They had noticed Wilkes refu...

Shipwrecked

Labors of Love

by Logiturnus

Chapter 24 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

The flowers had a beautiful shade of red from the boar blood she poured out after collecting in jars. One of her quiet places she had put together for the time between hunting and keeping a brave face to the larger world. He knelt down in the flower bed, careful not to disturb th...

Brotherhood and Bewilderment

by Logiturnus

Chapter 23 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

“Oh, I’m not interrupting anything am I?” Wilkes asked calmly in the aisleway between bookshelves. He took in the scene of Erik kneeling with his own courtship ring being slipped onto a chain for Amy to wear as a necklace. Both were blushing like children playing house for the fi...

Time Spent Healing

Chapter 22 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

The sun beat down overhead, its radiant warmth a lashing whip upon their bare shoulders. Yet the three barge lads pressed on. The twins had grown considerably, each able to carry the crates that had previously taken coordination from the three of them. Dortas still struggled with...

Chapter 10 in Dr. Flynn's Scientific Genepod

Alright, some of you are probably getting a ping for this story you believed was dead. It is in fact in the ICU on life support. From my other story I figure the average reader can notice that I've become more confident and competent in writing in the span between this chapter an...

A god remembers

by Logiturnus

Chapter 21 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

A fresh log was settled into the roaring fire. The warmth was pleasant on his pale old skin. The old god whistled his favorite sailing tune as he gazed out at the crowd of youngsters. He scratched his chin idly, humming loudly as he scanned them all. “Kalin!” Pappy called, the y...

Late Night with the Oracle

by Logiturnus

Chapter 20 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

The door swung open the rest of the way as he peered in. The intense smell of incense burnt his nostrils. A curtain of black beads blocked his view. The whole place must have cost a fortune. Did the oracle have any idea how much black dye cost? He was entirely lost in thought abo...

Dissociation and Dinner with Her Parents

by Logiturnus

Chapter 19 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

The first thing that came back to him was the smells. Slow simmered boar flank, a deep rich scent that left his mouth watering. The smoky allure of firewood burning. The gentle hint of lavender in the rare soap beatrice used for her clothing and pelts that drove their prices thro...

Rising Tide 4

by Logiturnus

Chapter 18 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

The ship creaked subtly as it bobbed on the waves. The mixed smell of sea salt and blood stung their noses. The duo had begun scrubbing almost immediately. Mops dragging the water in a smudged mess. The foot prints thankfully came up easier than puddles. A distant sound came from...

Rising tide 3

by Logiturnus

Chapter 17 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Wilkes stood at the starboard rail, the splintered bit now a falling hazard. He glanced back out across the waves, to where barry narrowly missed being skewered because he knocked Erik to the ground. The captain stood calm and resolute. His hand resting on the hilt of his sword....

Author's Note

by Logiturnus

Chapter 17 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Howdy all, it's me, the author. Logiturnus or Logus for short because my actual username is a mouth full. Been enjoying pushing out chapters where I can but wanted to pick some brains with a few questions. My release schedule is it too rapid or not fast enough? I know I've consi...

Rising tide 2

by Logiturnus

Chapter 16 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Wilkes woke before dawn the next morning, and shuffled through the motions of getting dressed. His cot was still ruined, his pillow still scorched. He hadn’t thought of replacing them yet. He rolled off and up, pulling his pants to his waist in a fluid motion. Pulling his shirt d...

Rising Tide 1

by Logiturnus

Chapter 15 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Wilkes slowly closed Erik’s front door. The door clicked shut, and he turned away from it. He could still hear faint snoring from within the abode. His mind drifted back to Barry’s anecdote about his first marriage. A light chuckle, and he was off. The young sailor walked aimles...

Breaking the News

by Logiturnus

Chapter 14 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Wilkes rolled over on the forest floor. Everything ached. Some of it in a way that was oddly pleasant, but mostly aching from the course of the right of Testero. Something fluffy tickled at his nose, so at least he wasn't sleeping alone on the ground. He went to scratch his face,...

On the Hunt 5- Dusk to Dawn[Lewd content]

Chapter 13 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Beatrice found him curled up in the woods, cuddling with Daisy after the dog had returned. Slowly she crept closer, keeping her satchel from jostling too loudly so as not to startle him too immediately. She stared longingly at the dog's position before trying to Coax Wilkes back...

On the hunt 4

by Logiturnus

Chapter 12 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

Jolting awake, he pat himself down to double check his clothing. Shirtless, bandaged, a cold rag fell off of his forehead. He rolled into a low crouch and scanned his surroundings. He was not where he had fallen asleep. Someone had dragged him fully into the brush. Erik placed a...

Reprieve[Lewd Content]

by Logiturnus

Chapter 11 in The Epic of Wilkes Tempest

It was warm. Soft sheets against his skin as a feathered pillow propped his head. Wilkes rolled over in bed and found himself not as alone as he'd thought. A woman's back faced towards him, deep black hair cascading down to the small of her back. He blinked the grogginess away wh...
