Hello!
Been a while since you guys had an update. As we are nearing completion, I thought I'd give you one, so enjoy. Any feedback is appriciated.

2020-12-06 20:27:07 +0000 UTC View PostAperio let out a sigh as she stood up, her feet solidly planted on the nothing that filled her Void. She had delayed again and again what she should have done a while ago, but she wouldn't do that now. Just need to figure out how to find Epemirial…
She had an idea where to start the search, but that did not mean it would yield any desirable results. Aperio's plan was quite simple: go to a temple of the Goddess of Duty and Loss and try to see if she could locate something that...
2020-12-06 20:24:17 +0000 UTC View PostAN: The chapter title is right in more ways than one!
Caethya shifted slightly in the embrace of her Goddess. While Aperio had seemingly managed to fall asleep, she could not say the same. Despite the All-Mother's outward relaxed appearance, calm breaths and gentle embrace, Caethya was worried. How long have we been here?
Aperio had been acting strange lately. Incoherent, almost. It was obvious that she wanted to be liked by her daughter but, just like s...
2020-12-02 18:02:24 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Hey it got done on time! Also, writing an essentially genderless character is hard.
Agemin stared at its hands, the light and dark shifting beneath its translucent skin. Before, they had been a formless cloud like all young Celestials, floating about their own realm rich in mana and peace before their eventual service in the Court. Their body was a recent development, and they still weren't quite sure what to think of it.
One could ignore the call, of course, but few ...
2020-11-30 16:13:47 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Sorry for being late, but I am sick and in enough pain that forming a thought is hard. I will try to get the side story done by monday, but it might be a day late. Sorry.
Aperio furrowed her brows as the [Court of Heaven] shifted almost imperceptibly. What she had intended was not a huge change, but she still had no idea how, exactly, she could make it happen.
Reality itself, however, seemed quite ready to manifest her wish. Without the System, too… She had...
2020-11-28 21:14:22 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Being the literal creator of everything comes with some weird quirks.
Aperio fixed her gaze on her daughter, offering Ferio her undivided attention as she repeated her question. "What did they do?"
Her daughter hesitated for a moment longer before a table and a few couches appeared in the room. "Please, sit," she said, gesturing towards the nearest sofa. "It will take some time to explain."
The All-Mother sighed as she sat herself down, spreading her wi...
2020-11-24 20:26:45 +0000 UTC View PostAN: This chapter did not go quite where I expected it to go.
The Judges just stared at Aperio for a moment before the Dark one nodded with what the All-Mother interpreted as a smile spreading over its face. "Of course!" it exclaimed. "We would be delighted!"
The Light Judge did not look as pleased for a moment as it scrunched its brows. At least, that is what the All-Mother thought it did as the being did not actually have eyebrows. Or a face, really.
Neith...
2020-11-20 18:57:14 +0000 UTC View PostAN: A month later you get chapter three. Blame Uni.
Asking the AI for everything it had turned out to be the wrong decision. Kaylin had been sifting through largely useless information for hours now. Not even the nostalgic tingle the Wave had left behind, nor the numerous implants in her head could stop the headache from forming.
Alphera had also informed her about the ship currently in the System. It was the one that had brought the intruders here, and the AI had already...
2020-11-18 16:00:43 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Yo man, I heard you like chapters.
"I have no interest in your war," Aperio said, eyeing the presumed Gods and Goddesses in the room. I would end it if I knew how. "If part of it required you to experiment on souls, I could not care less that you lost that ability."
"That's not really the issue." Ferio sighed, gesturing to the two beings made of light and dark respectively. "The Directive you implemented puts the [Court of Heaven] in charge ...
2020-11-16 19:42:44 +0000 UTC View PostNatio glared at the bucket for a moment longer before he closed the cupboard. Scrubbing fucking floors, he thought to himself as he left the supply room and made his way to the cantine.
He was mortal once more and had to partake in the most disgusting task of eating again. All because those fucks lied to me. He had trusted Vigil and Inanis; and why shouldn't he have? Ever since he had killed the Drake that had repeatedly destroyed one of Vigil's churches, they had help...

Progress has been made and I am looking for some feedback, specifically on the Sacrifice book text.
Of course, if you spot anything else, feel free to point that out too!

2020-11-12 19:30:48 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Maybe she shouldn't just change stuff on her own accord.
Caethya removed her hand from Aperio's as the All-Mother opened her eyes. She could still feel the anger in her aura; the coldness of the air. Being asked to help her Goddess remain calm was already a weird request, but she knew how Aperio reacted to some memories. What happened now, however, was a lot less intense than she had expected.
She could not claim to know how Aperio felt any one emotion, but she knew t...
2020-11-12 19:27:58 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Maybe Aperio should make a Prime Directive
Caethya leaned back against Aperio as her Goddess held on a little tighter. She brushed her hands over the All-Mother's arms as she offered up another prayer to ask what, exactly, she was supposed to do.
"Help me not get unreasonably angry," Aperio said. "Moria thinks that whatever she found out will greatly upset me, and you are the only person I trust to help me at the moment." Ferio would probably try...
2020-11-08 19:31:58 +0000 UTC View PostAN: I hope this helps with the stress of the current week a little. At least for some of you.
At first, Aperio was not sure what Moria had meant by 'follow my lead', but it was quickly becoming clear. Her surrogate mother was weaving her mana into the crystal, causing something within the shard to flow back towards her.
That 'something' was still mana, but it resembled her own much more than that of Moria. Taking control of someone else's mana only required a thought ...
2020-11-04 18:19:29 +0000 UTC View PostAN: These guys would love Halloween. Probably.
"Silence!" The deep voice of the golden, glowing humanoid echoed through the halls. The Gods and Goddesses present did not cease to speak, but their voices no longer produced sound. Nor did their telepathy reach their intended destination.
Diana shifted slightly behind her Goddess, obviously not quite comfortable with attending the [Heaven's Court]. Neither she nor Ferio were afflicted by the enforced silence, as her Goddess ...
2020-10-31 17:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Boo! I bet you got scared and thought no chapter would come today!
"What did you find?" Aperio asked, her left hand idly brushing over the armlet Moria had just given her. She had never noticed that there had been a slight weight missing from her arm before, and had barely noticed when she had added it, but now, it felt as though her arm was somehow more complete. As if she was no longer naked. "Anything to do with the other two Keepers?"
Finding the place she had called home during her time as a slave had been surprisingly easy. The ruins of the Empire's capital were still standing, though mostly abandoned. A few of the more intact houses at the edge of the city housed people — researchers of some kind if Aperio had to guess.
The All-Mother did not care for them, however. She was looking for one of the few places in the city that did not fill her with disgust or dread. A place Moria and she had often used to hide from...
2020-10-27 16:36:07 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Math is frying my brain.
Aperio held the book the [Keeper of Tomes] had given her, her eyes flicking over the rapidly changing pages. Despite the fact that she still had one arm wrapped around Caethya and held the book in her free hand, each page turned over in rapid succession with the barest effort of her mind. She could have read the book without opening it, but something about the slight rustling of the papers as her magic turned them over and the act of actually readin...
2020-10-23 17:00:51 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Somethings you find can't be kept, though.
Caethya rubbed Aperio's back as she felt her tense and a slight mixture of annoyance and anger flashed through her aura, the motion getting a few looks from the Beastkin they passed. "What's wrong?"
A slight tingle ran over her skin as the All-Mother's magic flowed around the two of them, creating an almost imperceptible barrier that garnered a raised eyebrow from the Goddess of Magic who had abandoned her study of the runes ...
2020-10-19 18:02:59 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Later than I wanted, but its here now!
Adam closed the book he had been reading, the fact that he had apparently met the literal creator of the universe still at the forefront of his mind. He had cursed her in his mind when he had arrived on this world — for taking him from his own. Now, he woke up drenched in sweat almost every night fearing she would punish him.
Brenia had assured him Aperio would not do such a thing, but he was not sure about that yet. <...
2020-10-17 14:52:27 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Feeling better, but sadly did not manage to get the Side Story done today as well, so that'll be a bit delayed. Hope you enjoy this chapter, thoguh.
Aperio stepped past Kenmo, a tiny flex of her mental muscle twisting reality just enough so she would end up in front of the black pearl. Why can't I sense it?
Though it looked like the essence of Chellien, albeit lacking the fog, she could clearly recall the feeling of the dead God's soul. This orb simply did no...
2020-10-15 17:32:01 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Sorry for the delay, but I am sick (not covid though, so thats good). I hope to get the next chapter and side story out on time, but I am not sure yet.
Aperio led Caethya to an empty alleyway, teleporting them both inside Mayeia's temple as soon as she was sure nobody could see them.
She did not really mind people seeing her teleport but, in an effort to appear a little less godly, Aperio had chosen to do so out of sight. The All-Mother was also planning to ask Mayeia...
2020-10-11 13:57:57 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Khajiit is innocent of these crimes!
Aperio wanted to wrap her wing around Caethya as they appeared outside Mayeia's temple, but realized a moment later that she had hidden them on purpose. With a silent sigh, she offered her hand to the Elf. It would have to suffice.
Caethya happily placed her hand in Aperio's own, smiling at the Goddess as she did. "So," she began, "where are we going?"
"I don't know," the All-Mother replied with a small shrug. ...

Hello!
The cover progressed and before I tell him this sketch is fine, I would like some feedback. It's done by https://www.deviantart.com/creadfectus (don't be surprised by the lack of stuff on the page, it is the right link. He's rebranding,)
2020-10-04 10:55:57 +0000 UTC View PostAN: The second chapter. Also edited by the Bun and the Duck.
"How long does the Watcher want to stay there?" Neltori asked in annoyance. "It's been three days already. Three days!"
"Maybe there was something in the cryo bay and it has to remove it," Kelto chuckled. "Or it wasn't pleased with some of our colleagues' conduct. Trying to shut down the generator always causes them to stay longer."
His colleague waved him off. "I know, I know. It's just another of t...
2020-10-02 21:01:38 +0000 UTC View Post AN: A story idea that popped into my head and did not want to leave. I'll continue it whenever the muse decides to grace me with her presence. This was not only edited by the Duck but also by the Bun! Truly the best helpers.
Releases of this will not impact Forgotten. You can expect 114 on the 6th, as usual.
Kelto squinted at the holographic display that floated above the pristine silver pedestal. He flipped through a few more pag...
2020-10-02 21:01:35 +0000 UTC View PostAN: A note that is not story related? What?! Anyway, I merely wanted to ask if you guys would be interested in reading another story I started writing cause the stupid idea didn't want to leave me alone. If you do, comment below.
Caethya retreated deeper into Aperio's wing, hoping to hide the redness that had started to creep up her cheeks and ears. She had wanted to say something else, but it was not the time nor the place for that.
... 2020-10-02 18:26:00 +0000 UTC View PostAN: She just your average maid.
Amelia let out a sigh as she picked Maria up once again. The girl had been running around the estate ever since her father had allowed her to move into the All-Mother's temple. "Have some patience," she said, ruffling her charge’s hair. "You will get to explore soon enough."
"But I want to see the temple!" Maria exclaimed, looking up at Amelia. "Can you imagine what it will look like?"
"Like most other temples, I'd wager." Eve...

"May I know the name of your friend?" Mayeia asked. "If they know you, it is likely I have sought them out in the past… Getting information about you isn't easy."
"Her name is Moria," Aperio said, tensing slightly at the prospect of having to inform Mayeia of the title the Beastkin held. "According to her daughter, she went missing some time ago. Nobody knows where she is.
"At first I thought that it could not hav...
2020-09-28 18:22:45 +0000 UTC View PostAN: You too can distract yourself like a Goddess!
Aperio tapped her foot against the stone floor, occasionally breaking it from using a bit too much force. "How does that work?" she mumbled to herself as she searched through the thousands of regions that made up her System. "There has to be something…"
A finger poking against her forehead caused Aperio to stop her search and focus on the woman to whom it belonged. "Yes?" she asked, a sma...
