    Yet another wave of poison mist showered over me as I focused at the task at hand. Never before had I given the proper respect to adventurers who daily meals depended on tasks such as these. I deflected another advance from the funguar and began my rhythmic chant. This time choosing to draw upon a cool elemental essence in the hopes of bringing this sparring match to an end. My eyelids fluttered from exhaustion as I neared the completion of my cast, for a split second I reveled, believing I had conquered, only to find myself flat on my back with a knot on my forehead from a gridanian walnut that had been hurled in my direction.

    My last casts execution had faltered, and I had inadvertently not focused my assault enough as I had now apparently enraged a nearby ...

    Sunlight poured in through the beautiful stain glass windows that adorned Gridania's Carline Canopy. The place bustled with activity as the people went about their business. The activity was more than I was used to. Having come from more rural upbringing, I think this was the most people I had seen in one place at one time. Looking for a kind spirit, I walked up to a young Miquo'te woman. Remembering what the Roegadyn guard had told me, I quietly asked her how I would find Mother Mionne. She gestured to a raven haired Duskwight Elezen woman in a dark blue tunic.



    She seemed a bit younger than what I had expected, at being referred to as “Mother”, although it was no secret that Elezen's in general seemed to age quite well. I watched as her face ...

    As we neared the entrance to Gridania, a few of the lancers broke off from the group to confer with their counterparts standing guard. The Padjal conjurer pressed on into the town while one of the female hyur lancers took a moment to address Papalymo, Yda and I. To me, she pointed out another guard, a Roegadyn male, and instructed me to speak with him. Papalymo and Yda, on the other hand were asked to accompany her. The three of them walked on leaving me at the gate.



    Before preceding, I surveyed my surroundings. From the direction of the conversations I overheard, it seemed there were of handful of adventurers, who like me were visiting Gridania today. "Adventurer" I said out loud and giggled a little at the context. I had never really thought ...

    Meet the Author: A Brief Introduction


    Hello everyone, my name is Abel, but to avoid confusion with the protagonist’s name, you can call me Abe for short. I’m simply a man with little to no spare time, but that won’t stop me from doing what I enjoy; telling stories. Abel’s Tale is an action adventure story about Abel Fierce, a hyur midlander male who journeys across Eorzea and creates friends and enemies alike. I do my best to describe my stories without the fanciful and possibly confusing vocabulary but instead write with the intention of keeping the reader engaged in what is happening as if it were real-time; something I have become accustomed to with my older works and hope to continue doing. I do my best to please the fans.

    This first chapter will be a small sample of what is soon to come. I have been working on this story since the start of retail FFXIV. That said, there has been a lot of things I have been working on, a lot of things which have and have not worked out. My original first revision of chapter one was actually five times the size of my online updates I have decided upon, comparatively speaking! After several weeks of tweaking, however, I have decided on a schema which will hopefully work out.

    The hardest thing I find about writing stories like this is that not everything is set in stone. Not being set in stone, however, is something I can also enjoy. A large part of this story will depend on the content of the online franchise, FFXIV. New content will mean new things to explore, and new things to explore will bring forth more inspiration for me to use in this story. I hope to update this bi-weekly if my body can handle it, but otherwise I will do my best to keep you up to date with the latest adventures of the young and hopeful protagonist, Abel Fierce.

    Before I start rambling to infinity, I will without further adieu introduce you to Abel’s Tale. I hope all of you enjoy! ...

    I had fully expected to see all kinds of broken rubble and debris in the wake. What I found instead put me a bit on the defensive. Before my eyes, lying unconscious in a patch of ground cover, lay only two individuals and nothing more. Looking about, I could not spot any evidence that they had been inside any type escape pod or craft at all! There was no wreckage, just this pair, a lalafell male, and a young hyur female.


    The only thing I could figure out was that one, if not both, where highly ranked magic users, else their deity stepped in with a blessing. I hoped for my sake that they were friendly, as I knew my conjury training thus far had been elementary, and I was in no shape to try and compete with someone as skilled as they must have been ...
