Well, I won’t drag this out. The next chapter will be released on March 12th at 1 PM Brasília time.

I left a note at the end of the chapter explaining the delay. I know many people don’t want to read it, so I moved it down to avoid disrupting the reading experience.

Warning: I didn’t like how this chapter turned out. A lot more was supposed to happen, but recent events kind of screwed me over a bit.

Quick note: This time, it was my fault. I hit a writing block in the middle of this chapter, got stuck between two ideas, and had to rewrite it a few times. The good thing about all this is that I managed to bring back an old idea I thought I wouldn't be able to use.

Sorry for the delay, this time it wasn’t my fault. A storm hit the city where I live, and a tree fell on a power pole. I ended up without electricity all day and could only post this now.

I spent some time exploring BlueHarbor.

There was nothing alive in the village—something I noticed instantly. The only sounds were those of the rain and, unlike other places, the crashing of ocean waves, which struck the sand aggressively.

The color of the water shifted: sometimes dark blue, an abyss I could only perceive because my...

Alalia and I remained silent for a few seconds. She seemed more than content to observe me up close, with only the small tea table separating us. I took the moment to do two things. The first: I observed her back, not just with my eyes, but with all my senses.

Devas looked different, that much was obvious, but it wasn’t just his appearance. Sure, the stubble gave him a more mature look, and the longer hair tied in a bun added to that, but the real difference was in his eyes.

The moment Salem and the human vanished into the distance, the Grimm army began to move.
