2024-08-03 22:48:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! There’s only been a few edits this time around! Most of which were done in order to fix grammatical issues or flow issues here and there as usual! I’ve also added a few more lines to the wall portion of the chapter to better clarify the nature of the wall and its mechanics, at least as Emma and the EVI have hypothesized it so far! :D That’s about it this time around! As always all of the revised sections are highlighted with an underline to easily see what’s been...

Last month was certainly a blast to write up as we entered and finished what was effectively one of the more exciting parts of the school week!

Not a fraction of a second after my visual sensors laid eyes on that felinor, was I able to determine the likeness and probability of its relations to Eslan.
Following that, in anticipation of Eslan’s reactions, I’d begun allocating a reasonable amount of processing power to ensure that I would have the suff...

This is because after a lot of careful consideration and after a lot of thinking, I’ve decided to reorganize the non-magical trials for PE! I initially planned for the non-magical trials to be entirely self-contained in a single chapter, within Chapter 89. However, it was clear that by trying to put both trials in, there simply wasn’t enou...

I first planned this chapter to include all aspects of the non-magical activities for Emma’s PE challenges. However upon review, it’s quickly become clear that by adding the strength portion of the challenges, the endurance portion didn’t have the space nor the time to really breathe and be its own story, nor did the strength porti...

I’ve made most edits to the strength challenges of today’s chapter, seeing as there were a few inconsistencies and details that either weren’t implemented correctly, or had managed to slip through in the original post! The most notable of which being the bench pressing aspect of this chapter’s exercises! As I had originally planned for a two-thirds victory followi...
