Thalmin
I’d already surmised that I was in the presence of a legend being written.
Though whether or not I chose to participate, whether I chose to remain an observer in my own legend or commit to becoming an integral actor within it, all hinged on my assessment of the earthrealmer and her claims.
Though frankly, this process had begun long, long before this point.

(Author’s Note: Hey everyone! So there’s been a few revisions in this on, though not much as most of it’s just done to improve grammar, spelling, flow, and such! The biggest ‘addition’ really is the part where Li lists off the diplomatic infractions incurred against Emma. But that’s about it for this one! As always all of the edits have been highlighted with underlines for ease of reading! :D)

Author’s Note: Hey everyone! Here is the Work in Progress for Chapter 160 I hope you guys enjoy! :D The revised version for Chapter 159 will be releasing tomorrow some time before the full release of Chapter 160! :D I was trying something kind of ambitious with Thalmin's introduction here as I wanted to integrate a bit of one of my favorite poems with Thalmin's internal monologue. I hope it worked! But whether or not it lands, please feel free to tell me! I'm really not sur...

(Author’s Note: Alright so! There’s been some MAJOR additions in this one! While the previous version felt good, I feel like it didn’t touch on the actual reasons behind the bureaucratic deadlock and issues between the LREF, IAS, and the Army. Moreover, I also feel like I didn’t properly explain the IAS’ organizational structure and the tensions brewing in there as well. So the additions here are meant to address that!

Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been waiting for the right time to release this artwork since it includes not just Emma, but Captain Li and Dr. Mekis as well! :D
However, now that the latest chapter has properly introduced (or at least has properly included) the likes of both Mekis and Li, I think it’s about time I get this piece out there! :D

(Author’s Note: Hey everyone! Happy New Year! I’m back now! :D So there's been quite a few revisions in this chapter! Most of it was done in order to more or less clarify my intent haha. For example, I added a bit of a preamble before Emma’s whole gambit with the dragon since I thought it wasn’t quite clear yet what her angle was when engaging with Kaelthyr. The same goes for Thalmin, as I wanted to clarify the fact that Thalmin wanted to directly go for Kaelthyr’s ...

So, I don’t know how to say this because I really don’t like having to do this, but I’m going to have to ask you guys if it would be okay for me and my editor to take two weeks off during the holidays.
This would mean that there won’t be a chapter for the 28th of December 2025 and the 4th of January 2026, but we’ll be coming back on the 11th of January 2026.

I felt my racing heart slowing, while the blood in my veins dipped into a gentle simmer, giving way to a mind slowly expanding beyond the confines of struggle and survival.
My warriors’ high had now thoroughly slipped beyond the horizon, and in its place, came the reckoning of a realization.
