TALES FROM THE ETHERPATHS: Volume IV
“The Duel Before the Doors” and Other Improbabilities
Time has always been a bit unhinged—
But now it’s actively misbehaving.
As magical overflow threatens to re-anchor Key City in wild aether, Professor S. T. Punk and Lady Beatrix Gearloft scramble to restore the six ritual Anchors. But nothing holds for long in a city swelling with unstable enchantment… and fungal countermeasures.
Enter Crankshaft: armed with a stolen seventh Anchor, a monocle full of impossible futures, and a cannon fueled by weaponized ambition.
What follows is a parasol duel beside the Tether Rift, a sincerity-activated etiquette mirror, and one final explosion of fractured timelines.
When the monocle shatters, the gates begin to open.
Clocktowers awaken.
The sky turns brass.
And the real chaos begins.
Magic is no longer bound.
And neither are we.
