Happy New Year everyone!
I wanted a post to share some of my thoughts, as we head into the new year. And while I might overshoot, I think 2023 will be an amazing year for a lot of reasons, but most relevantly, I think LoRG will finish in 2023.
It's honestly scary for me to think about it. This story changed my life. And I'll have to keep changing without it.
Now, don't worry, I'm not rushing toward an ending just to be finished. My (rough) calculations put me finishing about...

Fatia Cerulean leaned back in his chair and considered the divination surface in front of him. The cobalt flames of energy wrapped around his bones, but stayed thin and meek as he considered the dire news flooding in from the western front.
Westrisser’s face appeared, a sneering example of a figure without empathy for t...

Okay, finally back at my own apartment (I missed my bed so much)
Right as he decided to let loose and simply challenge the Nether forces in front of him, Neveah nudged Randidly mentally. Even from afar, her disapproval radiated like out from her like the sun’s rays. This is a bad idea.
If we ...

Noise and chaos came together to Homewell, using violent friction to rub at pretty sounding ideals.
When the lines of two lines of soldiers hacked into each other, the ruddy brown of dust and blood became the dominant color palette of the edge of Homewell. The bells kept ringing, sounding the alarm and repeating the...

Charlotte Wick sat in a lotus position, waves of life energy radiating off of her body. The patterns in the air were derived from the secrets she saw within the lifeseal, organic and purifying. From the outside, her cell had been transformed into a sauna, with energy so dense that she produced heat enough to steam up the entire...

Merry Christmas! We will have a big update tomorrow as I get my editing done after the holiday, but for now here's a single chapter to tide you over.
“How are you content with this?” Raddeus said, his long arms pressing against the ground, but not quite having reached the bulk of a mature Homid. They patrolle...

Randidly observed the end of the confrontation with a mild curiosity. Several elements slid into a satisfying arrangement. So the reason I never needed to intervene here was that this Duo hadn’t unleashed the full power of its Hierarchy… Hard to get a good read on the strike from this distance… but how would I have ha...

With the Ghosthound’s arrival, Neveah felt herself relax for the first time since she had entered Mae’s strange energy field. The cool touch of Nether breezes against her face assured her of the coming dawn from this confrontation.
Randidly landed lightly, only a small shockwave of dust spreading out. But his presence...

Only one again, but mostly because this chapter was killer to write (hopefully, it makes sense to read)
Significance sputtered and sparked, seeking to complete a total transformation but held in stasis by a wedge.
The grains of flowing time turned out to be coarse sand, catching and grinding during their pa...

Just one tonight. Finally closing in on the end of the Sonara.
Tiamat, Mother of Fear, spread from Neveah’s body and formed a protective bubble around her form. The beast of dark tendons and wicked feathers shrieked and sliced through the reverberations from the main conflict between Elhume and Mae Myrna. Swirl...

Neveah raised her head confidently, waiting for the world-state image to peel itself backward in a grievous rout in front of her point… but nothing happened.
Mae Myrna frowned at her from across the table. “Nether Warriors? What are you talking about?”
From the lack of pulse from the natural force, Neveah had ...

Wow, sorry for being MIA for a few days! I had thought I'd be more peaceful time writing at home... which, in retrospect, seems optimistic. I got home and ended up just spending a bunch of time with my family.
Two to finish out the week and that will be my holiday half-week. So let's get through 7 to finish Christmas week! 2022-12-19 07:04:12 +0000 UTC View Post

The trio lost sight of the gleaming vista of the Sanctuary as they approached, looping around the thick jungle underbrush to reach the core area. Neveah noticed the curious silence of the vegetation, more a lush backdrop than any sort of ecosystem that supported life, as they passed through the outer edges of the town. However,...

Unafraid of the prospect of the army of Nether Warriors around her, Neveah stomped around and created plenty of noise. Noise more than enough to wake an army, especially a powerful army that ran mostly on burning the ambient energy of their Nether Cores. Next to her, Quantas continued to whisper the enemies were sleeping and th...

Traveling to see family in the leadup to the holidays, so yesterday was my thinking day and today will be one chapter. But once I'm settled, the week should be more predicable.
Neveah flitted through the thick jungle, occasionally pausing to watch the way a stray sunbeam pierced down through the thick canopy and ...

Fatia Cerulean burned with excitement, despite the bland and uninteresting nature of the report coming from Homewell’s scouts.
“...the much-needed break due to Cerulean’s victory has given morale an invigorating boost,” The dour Turtleline spoke in a slow gait that made Fatia want to reach down his throat and rip ...

Just two. I'm trying to piece all the plots together in this bit and it just takes time.
Devick’s saber light danced across Randidly’s cheekbones and reminded him of a wicked smile waiting along the path of recklessness. In the tightly bound, scarlet, and grey power Randidly witnessed the slightest glimpse of...

Underneath Homewell, Charlotte Wick continued to study the patterns of the lifeseal.
Life energy flowed freely in and out of her body as she breathed. The guards came around regularly and left trays with indeterminate slop, but she had left the food untouched. All her focus went inward. Her rough-shaped mud, all particula...

The two fell into step, Elhume moving a half step behind the Prophet. The silence seemed to be held hostage by the rough tension of Elhume, partway between a descent into madness and a man walking toward his own execution.
Truth be told, the Prophet didn’t know exactly what they would see as they climbed the spiral staircase withi...

Randidly’s mind raced as he considered the possibilities of what the Nether Arbiter suggested. The universe around him squeezed his Nether Core, encouraging that he seek out and create the shape she described. The stability he created wouldn’t possess the same sort of immediate sense of power he had felt while forging the Phaea, but i...

Yesterday I was a literal zombie. The old edits hangover. I think I now have a cold. Ah, winter!
“Are you aware of the existence of the Hierarchies?”
Elhume hated himself for twitching around in confusion at the sudden speaker. Out of the gloom of the nearby ridges, the Prophet glided forward. Very purposefully, t...

Just one to finish the week. Did the last few edits on Book 4 this weekend, which has just left me hollow =0.
Also, for those of you who have sent messages and commented, I do still have a small stack of books I need to send out. I'll check to make sure everything got delivered and send out the last few this week.

The Prophet twitched. He had the strangest sensation that a trail of bone dust had been sprinkled up and down his spine. He felt unclean, somehow tainted.
He looked around, at first assuming that Scythe had returned early from his mission and had slunk into his private chambers to mess with him. But from the holy light ca...

Randidly felt muscles along his jaw tighten in response to the Turtleline’s words. Arrested for murder, huh? Even in death, that Swacc bastard found ways to cause trouble for him. The surprise of sensing such an immediate kinship with this Turtleline woman’s image was a pleasure, but her follow-up words brought him slamming back into ...
