Necroepilogos, umbra - 10.3
Added 2024-03-14 15:14:23 +0000 UTCWhat's it like to be alone in the ashes? Isn't it sad, Serin? Or do you have secret friends, out there in the dark?

Epub version of the chapter is also attached!
Arc 10 continues, as the night shivers and simmers just beyond Pheiri's hull. Elpida's got her work cut out for her, forging these girls into a coherent group. And Serin's a serious outlier. Too many questions, too much grim laughter. Let's see what she has to say for herself.
Behind the scenes, it looks like we're approaching the halfway point of arc 10, probably? I did predict this would be a shorter one, at maybe 6-7 chapters, but don't hold me to that! Some of the other zombies are proving that they've got more to say than I expected, and I did have a couple of POV shifts coming up; so we'll see, it might get longer!
In any case, I hope you enjoy reading! And thank you so much, dear readers, I couldn't do this without you. This is all for you! Thanks for being here, and for all your kind support!

You're very welcome indeed! Glad you enjoyed the chapter! Elpida feels like she's getting a bit more of a conscious handle on her ideals here, and what Telokopolis means to her. Telokopolis is forever, for everyone, indeed!

2024-03-14 17:20:36 +0000 UTCSerin reminds me of some kind of Fey creature you might see in Irish or German fairy tales. A tall spindly creature of rotting wood and darkness that emerges from the shadows of a tree when your lost in the woods. Offering a trade of mysterious things in exchange for something precious of yours.
