Ok, basically, I'm shamelessly opening up my "bonus content" artwork vault to ask you all to vote for Beneath the Dragoneye Moons in the Stabbies. Because if my shameless request has high quality, never-before seen artwork, it's not spamming. It's bonus material with an ask.
Prior year Stabby winners won with less than 200 votes. There are 2100 of you. Less than 1 in 10 of you voting is enough (Plus, if I win, I'm not going to ask again next year :P )

I broke out into a huge, silly smile as I saw the walls of Arminium. Still gleaming white. Still with a little shanty town in front of it. Same old, same old.
The only big difference was the shanty town had grown, which was absolutely no surprise to me. People kept trying to expand, and the city had limited space. Even pillars and markings showed where new walls were being planned.
“Move it!” Someone rudely shoved me aside, passing me on the avenue.
“Jackass!” I yell...

I'm a finalist in the stabby awards!
I'm so thankful for everyone who nominated me! It means the world to me!
Next step - voting for the winner!
I'm not going to lie, the competition is still. Practical Guide to Evil? Beware of Chicken? Azarinth Healer? Journey of Black and Red?
I'm honored to be listed next to them to be honest.
Really, my only shot at *winning* the stabbies is asking all of you nicely to help me out.

“Auri! NO!” I yelled, throwing up a [Mantle] to protect the poor farmer’s harvest from Auri’s attempts to ‘improve’ it.
I was fast enough. This time.
“Brrrpt! Brrrrrrrrrrrpt!!!” Auri complained at me, flitting around the protected cart.
“I’m so sorry.” I told the poor farmer, who just narrowed his eyes at Auri.
“[Pest begone]” He pointed a finger at Auri, and a high-speed jet of water sprayed out of his finger...

Hey all!
Next month I am taking off Feb 21st and Feb 23rd, for President's Day. My wife also has the 21st off, and we'd like to be able to spend it together. That simple.
A reminder that today and Friday are my days off for this month. I haven't forgotten that I owe you one more piece of artwork.
The only question is, chibi Fenrir or another from the Sentinel Series....?
Cheers!

A few days after Auri ignited, I left Port Salona.
There wasn’t much of interest that happened, apart from Bossman and the rest of the Ranger team nearing the end of their investigation. Two squads of guards, with varying degrees of guilt, a single corrupt scribe, and a judge going senile seemed to be the score.
The scribe seemed to be the lynchpin of the operation. He was able to forge - well, forge was a bad word, since he was the one writing them out ‘for real’ anyways - ...

A HUGE thanks to my good friend Ravensdagger, who made and shipped me an ELAINE PLUSHIE!!
It's so cute! I'm sharing it all with you.
Also, shamelessly plugging Raven and all his stuff, because it's the least I can do after he hand-made this and sent it in the mail.

AN: Usually, editing chapters makes them much longer.
This is that rare chapter where I had to take the axe to huge chunks of it, without good stuff to replace it. As a result, this chapter's shorter than normal. Sorry!

Cupping the sleepy, dazed Auri in my hand, I moved her right next to the fire.
I was going to take this slowly. Carefully.
If I was right - if Auri was a phoenix - my biggest concern was that the fire wasn’t big or ...

“Thanks! I think Auri’s a pretty name as well! Can you acquire nest supplies?”
Wolfy whistled, and Moonmoon went scampering off.
“Can I touch?” Wolfy asked, and I looked at Auri’s sleeping form.
“She’s had a rough hatching… when she wakes up, sure!”
Wolfy and I traded a few stories of our respective adventures. He’d gotten in a rough fight against a heavyweight Ash mage-warrior, who used ashen limbs like an octopus to punch people. She’d left th...

I looked down at the little demanding hatchling, her voice much louder than her size would suggest.
“BRRPT! BRRPT!” She continued to demand, screaming for her needs to get met.
I smiled as I gently stroked her wet head, already feeling warm, loving emotions flow through me.
In this moment, it was all worth it. From Lun’Kat’s lair, through the wilderness with the elves, the shimagu, and now back at home, keeping the egg warm and safe had been worth every second, every...

Hey!
I unlocked the wrong chapters for the $1 tier. My bad.
Instead of locking them... I unlocked everything else for you. Just thought it was the right thing to do. However, you're not going to get a chapter for a few weeks as a result.
Happy binging!

It took Iona ten days, moving at high speed, to get from Maral down to the frozen arctic wastes of Modu.
Iona passed numerous tribes as she traveled, sharing a quick meal with some, spending the night with others, and being mistrustfully thrown out of more. The gnolls in those tribes were convinced that Iona was there to steal from them, either their food or their companions.
Iona had basic wilderness survival knowledge, but took every chance to learn from the local gnolls how to ...

Countries only vaguely had notions of “borders”, and which countries started where, and where they ended. Much more important was who protected a town, and what the culture of a city was.
The Valkyries tended to protect towns, cities, and settlements that tended towards castles, keeps, knights, and serfs, all of whom vaguely identified themselves as being part of Rolland. More important was their identity towards the Valkyries, who in turn paid taxes to Rolland, and vaguely listened...

Iona looked up at the Immortal healer, and felt sick.
She’d tracked rumors of the healer to The Great Tang, aiming to put a stop to her before the war got too out of control.
The ability to grant Immortality was absurd. The exact flavors differed. The most common, by leaps and bounds, vampires. They jealously guarded their innate racial ability, demanded huge prices, concessions, and most of all - loyalty to the Exterri Empire. On rare occasion, a vampire would be coerced into g...

How time flies! Book 6 is just about complete! We got the last Elaine chapter last week, and now are the interlude chapters!
I tried something different this time around, getting my book ready to publish on Amazon early. The idea was, Amazon would screw with me like usual, and it'd actually launch on time.
Well, Amazon screwed with me alright. They immediately launched it with no pushback or anything, which is new.

The fallout from me calling in the Rangers was messy, like a tornado hitting a warehouse stuffed with fish. After I debriefed Bossman, filling him in on all the details, and confirming that I wasn’t needed for anything else, I skipped out on the rest.
I was alright at this sort of work, but it needed to be Bossman running the show. He knew his team better than I did, and he had the needed experience to make it all work. In theory, I could jump in to help, but it’d cause all...

The Stabby Awards!
Hey all!
The Stabby Awards are open once again, and this year, I hope to win one! Specifically, best serialized novel.
Since Pirateaba has been told "congrats, you've won too much now you can't win any more", I believe I have a real chance at winning one this year. So I'm going to ask you all nicely - can you please nominate me (and two of your other favorite web novels) for a stabby award? Nominations are here: 2022-01-03 12:34:27 +0000 UTC
