2023-11-13 09:33:25 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the last chapter before the break I’m planning to take.
I will hit that break (pause billing) button tomorrow (the 13th of September) and again on the 13th of October. Which should stop charging those of you who decided to stay with me despite the break.
(Thank you for that by the way, it’s weirdly encouraging. And thank you for your support thus far, all of you. The fact anyone would love my work enough to want to support it like that wasn’t something I belie...
Chapter 114 Apricot City.
We do not know to appreciate the simple life.
Only when we lose the simple life do we appreciate them.
Only when you lose a loved one, do you appreciate their presence.
Only when you lose your dearest and granted objects, do you appreciate it.
Cherish what you have, focus on the good in your life.
Because it may not last forever.
Lokamesh, Father of Mortal Kind.
Later that night I attempt to unlock m...

Possibilities are a pain.
Possibilities are a joy.
Worry and wonder stem from one root.
What the heart makes to be pain and joy,
the mind shall dispel when it understands the unknown.
Amaret, the great sinner.
I stumble to my tent, limping due to my missing shoe. I really need a damned bath... and sleep... why did it take all night?! I'm not going to enter that...

Knowledge leads to questions.
Questions leads to more knowledge.
It is questions that drives us forward,
even if we do not always wish for the knowledge they bring us.
Tukado, the Creator.
It is utter darkness, and the creature that is holding my feet attempts to climb up on my legs. I force its hands off me with my mind and kick him back into the swamp. “Revisor!” <light!> A bal...

I’m a clue, a hint for greatness.
Forward I lead, despite the madness
I light the dark, I’m a small mark, a spark.
Yet, everyone think they understand me,
in their own way.
Mayan, the Ocean Fairy.
I’m getting dragged by the weird man, and notice the dumbfounded faces of Salik’s men around the camp. This is embarrassing… how the hell am I going to explain this? Salik should be the one doing the e...

Life is full of surprises.
Life is full of excitements.
Life is full of discovery.
Life is full of itself.
Life is good, life is existence.
Until death do us part.
Brigit, the Lady of Life.
Later that evening, I retire to my tent.
My first step is to learn the properties of this magical serpent’s body parts. I skim through Forests of Wonders by Lako of Twilights until I find what I'm looking fo...
2023-08-29 12:59:34 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 109 The Follies of Pride.
Pride and abundancy is survival biggest enemy.
Pride leads to overconfident and death.
Abundancy leads to complacency and decay.
Do not let your ego be the price of your life.
Do not let your riches be the rot of your family.
Tonisha, the Lady of Ventures.
No! Until this very moment, I didn’t realize how important Balgrum is to me. He isn’t Le...

A beast with nature’s blessings.
A man with nurture’s tools.
Who will survive? Who shall prevail?
It is only a matter of time and experience.
And many to pave the road forward.
Tonisha, the Lady of Ventures.

Chapter 106 Recovery.
Don’t love someone for how you want them to be.
Love them for who they are.

Honestly, I’m shocked I got a new patron right after I announced my future break. It gave me an amazing boost in confidence about taking a break, something I was terrified of doing. Thank you for that. ^;^
And thank you very much for your support! <3
Enjoy the chapter everyone.

This chapter is dedicated to Chaz who joined me right before my break. In a way, it’s fitting that someone who joined right before my writing ‘interlude’ will get The Interludes chapter dedicated to them.
Thank you very much! <3 I’m both surprised and extremely flattered that you liked my work so much that you decided to subscribe right before the break. You really made my day.

I'll be going out on a break from the 13th of September to the 13th of November.
This is a scheduled break, and I'm mostly announcing it this early (over a month ahead of time [August the 5th.]) to not disappoint or wrong any of my current or potential patreon followers.
As mentioned above, the break will last 2 months, and by the end of it, I'll go back to releasing chapters as usual...

Fear, doubts, and lies stems from the truth.
Much like how the shadows stems from the light.
