The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 12

Chapter 12

The two of them stayed around the outskirts of the Calamity for the next few hours, killing monsters indiscriminately along the way.  Larek was getting tired from maintaining his focus on the Pattern box for so long, especially after having to push it so hard at the beginning, so the both of them felt that it was better to not go too close to the center of the Calamity where it might become too dangerous for just the two of them.  It wasn�...

Chapter 10

“I think they’re gone,” Nedira announced.  “I don’t feel them anymore.”

Larek stretched his senses out to their utmost, the flaring panic that had flowed through him at the first hint of the Gergasi having faded to a banked ember.  He wasn’t sure if it was the thought of facing two of them at the same time that had made him race toward The Hopper with the intent to flee, or if it was simply the memories of his near death at Chinli’...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 9

Chapter 9

The rushing air was deflected from his body as Farmas flew south at his top speed, Syrlia a few dozen feet to his left keeping pace with him.  The faux wings that grew out of their backs didn’t actually do anything to keep them aloft, but it was an affectation that most Guardians used while they were flying, as it felt more appropriate than simply rushing through the air without any means of propulsion.  It harkened back to the days when they used to s...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 8

Chapter 8

“We’re landing here,” Larek told everyone in the main deck of The Hopper, which was more than he had planned to bring.  But with the sudden assassination attempt not so long ago, it seemed as though he couldn’t go anywhere without a bodyguard of Volunteers 20-strong.  Not that the Fusionist thought that they could actually do much to prevent an attack by the Unspoken Response if they showed up, but if it made them feel better, then he was fine wi...

Plans for Sept 8-13

This head cold destroyed me this week, though I'm finally starting to feel a little better. My hope is that I will be back to as much "normal" as I can with my writing by Sunday-Monday, so that I can keep up my usual 2 chapters a day routine.

Fortunately, I don't have any other projects lined up for next week, so I can dedicate it to catching up with what I wasn't able to get done this week!

Plans for next week:

Sunday-Monday: Writing (hopefully without a non-stuff...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Letting out a sigh of satisfaction, Larek moved the last of the Fusions he’d just created to the side, Kevara having left a while ago to get some sleep.  The Fusionist supposed that he should be doing the same, as he was aware that he’d been going at the Fusion-creation process for a while now, but he didn’t feel tired at all; instead, he somehow felt energized from all the work he’d done. 

Looking around the room, the stacks of materials t...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 6

Chapter 6

“So, is anything really changing because of this?”

Larek looked over at Nedira’s question, the exhaustion of the last few hours making the movement difficult.  “What do you mean?”

“I mean that, while it is an additional obstacle, does the presence of these ‘Unspoken Response’ change our plans?”

The Fusionist snorted in disbelief, wondering how things could not change now that he knew assassins were being sent after...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 5

Chapter 5

The Fusionist watched as Nedira practically flung herself at her brother, lifting him up and swinging him around; the obvious surprise on his face at being so easily manhandled by the diminutive woman made Larek smile.  That smile faded away as he saw Norde’s expression morph into one that made his heart jerk in reaction. 

“When did you get up?” Nedira asked just before setting him down again.  When she stepped away from him, her hands n...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Thankfully, none of those listening to Larek had any objection to his statement.

“Uh, alright, but what exactly does that mean and how exactly are we going to make it happen?” Kimble asked.

It quickly became clear that just stating his objective didn’t automatically make it easy to accomplish, so Larek began to reveal the barebones skeleton of his plan.  The next few hours or so were spent hashing out the details, with dozens of messengers c...

The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 3

(This head cold is brutal. It took me days to get this done because I could barely concentrate most times, but fortunately the medicine I took gave me a few hours of clarity today to get this written. Hopefully it will continue to improve as the week goes on, but either way, my goal is to get at least 1 chapter a day done and uploaded.)

Chapter 3

The recovery of Larek’s internal pattern was remarkable.  By the time he woke up the next day, his...

Plans for Sept 1-6

I didn't get nearly as much writing done as I wanted to this week :( I started feeling sick yesterday with some head congestion and it continued to today, making it hard to concentrate.

In other news, the release of Undisguised Healer went great!

I'm hoping to feel much better next week, so I really get a lot done on Fusionist Book 7.

Plans for next week:

Sunday - Friday: Writing for Fusionist book 7!

Have a great weekend!
