AN: Oh, I plan on posting Sat/Sun for now. Something for the weekend!
I might move back to weekday posting when I'm more 'live'. For now, enjoy one of the only weekend updating stories!
Entry IX – Of the Great Adjustment and the Cost of Survival
The days that followed were madness. Grief was crushed beneath urgency.
We were many, scattered and unready. The mundane had ever built the roads, gathered the grain, traded the goods. Without them, the burden...

AN: I'M SO SORRY THIS IS TAKING SO LONG! I feel super bad over how long this is taking. I've been sick, my kid's been SUPER sick, and the lack of pressure isn't helping my writing.
It is doing great things for my mental health though.
I hope to be posting 2x a week starting now, while we're all recovering from various illnesses and insults. I want to eventually move back up to 3x to 5x a week, at least for the start. We'll see.
For now, I'm tenatively committing to 2x a we...

Being a goddess was interesting. It was like I had [Parallel Thoughts] still, just cranked up to 17. I was doing a thousand things at once, each one with my full attention. I was listening to petitioners around the world, keeping my mango collection fresh and doling out healing to everyone requesting it in my name. I was having a private talk with a young man who seemed like a promising sort, to get a blessing of mine. I was listening in on Iona’s discussion with one...

Entry IV – Of Time and the Unseen Veil
In the casting of the Great Sundering, Merlin bound all time-magic unto the mundane realm. No longer may wixen step backward nor forward in time’s stream, nor shall we manipulate its strands. That branch of Art is now bound to a greater purpose.
Yet behold! A marvel: the mundane shall forget...

Felix! And this will probably be the book 1 cover, with Erik's cover being book 2. A swap from my original plan, and I'll get into more details about that later.
I've been a little slower than anticipated getting everything up off the ground. School's started and we've all been a little sick here and there as we adjust to new routines.
At the same time, writing's been a ton of fun, and I'm super excited to share. There's been some minor hiccups with the opening chapters and how...

I want to say this is THE last Beneath the Dragoneye Moons announcement, but the webcomic almost being ready for launch is going to make a liar out of me, plus I suspect I'll have another kickstarter announcement once it's all done. Also, the BTDEM 16 audiobook! Which I'm actually doing the production on.
At the same time... this is the last 'normal' BTDEM announcement. It's too bittersweet.
BTDEM has consumed more than half a decade of my life, from conception until now.

I've reopened the legacy Elaine and Iona tiers. Same content, reduced price! It's my thank you for having faith in me and Song.
Iona-tier patrons: The incentive for this month is on discord, because it's extra spicy and I don't trust Patreon. https://discord.gg/rVwrvrtaDb for the server! More will be posted here.

Hi all!
First off, I want to thank you all. From those of you who've been with my on my journey since 2020 and I was posting the first chapters, to those of you who've started reading this week - thank you, all of you.
I have a million personal thank-yous I'd love to say and call people out by name for the fantastic things they've done for Beneath the Dragoneye Moons over the years, but one of the people who deserves the MOST credit would prefer to remain anonymous. I won't b...

Two star-crossed souls ascended together, destined to be each other’s spark, destined to be each other’s doom. The cycle broken.

Fenrir looked around his office. This wasn’t his usual classing up space, although he had to fly through it to get here. It was most assuredly his office. The perpetually stuck door that groaned on its hinges, the stacks of unpaid bills artfully laid around, the layers of dust that clung like a bad memory… it was his space alright.
The case files were gone. He wasn’t picking one up to choose his domain.
No, his office had been warped and extended, and several dames wal...

Amber often trusted her own experience and instincts. She’d realised over the years that The Coin she’d bartered for was a tiny bit of a trap. If Amber wasn’t careful, she’d let it rule her life, dictate every decision. She’d simply be an agent of fate, not thinking for herself, letting the toss of her coin dictate her actions.
There was a time and a place to let her fate be decided by luck and the fae. When negotiations had broken down - the lord of the fae had realized...

Divine blood gushed out of Selene’s neck, forever cursing the ground on which we stood.
Gods and goddesses typically manifested ‘in the eye of the beholder’ so to speak. Iona and I saw them as humans, in spite of the limited number of human deities. Night saw them as vampires, and so on and so forth. It was a comforting lie.
Selene and Lunaris didn’t have weapons and armor. Their domain wasn’t a martial one, and they had never used them in life.
They hadn’t neede...

In many ways, gods seemed limited. Powerful Classers looked like they could do more than a manifested god on Pallos, and under certain definitions, that was true.
A god was closely aligned with their domain. The closer they were to it, the more they were worshipped, the bigger, badder impact they could have when they chose to act.
Erebus simply wasn’t of Pallos, and many domains flat out didn’t apply. Goddess of Trees? Couldn’t help too much. God of Earth? He was bu...

I flashed over to Erebus at roughly the speed of light, and had a moment for just a single thought before I arrived.
Damnit.
With my leveling speed, I’d probably eaten my last mango. I shed a single frozen tear - it promptly boiled away, space was no fun - in the vast emptiness of space at the thought, mourning the vast groves of uneaten mango that would never know my tooth. The sweet flesh that would never find my tongue, the ambrosia that would never get swallowed.
Alas,...

It was a quiet immortal that went the distance. Ones that didn’t stick their heads up high, that held themselves in reserve. That was careful of the enemies they made. That held something back.
When the situation called for it, they could move, and the whole world would listen.
From a lonely pyramid in the great desert sands of Ankhelt, Arachne whispered words into ears and set actions in motion. Like a great spider at the center of her web, she plucked a string and the vibratio...

Auri landed on my shoulder. Iona stepped up next to me, and Night flanked me on the other side. He had hit 3347, slowly and steadily going through the levels. I had to wonder if he’d stop at 3584. Questions for another day. Fenrir squeezed out of the portal, then started to enlarge himself. The moons blinked, going from crescent one moment to absolutely full the next, Lun’Kat’s baleful glare watching us.
The five of us stood on top of a pyramid as the heavens broke open, ...

“I feel like we got minorly blindsided.” I complained to Iona when we got back to the School. We made it to Artemis’s personal little island - we had a standing invitation to crash there, although Artemis knew we’d do it either way - then opened up our portal.
“I agree.” Iona went glassy-eyed, and started to talk with her goddesses. Her lips silently moved as she talked, and the [Paladin] wandered off to our temple to talk more with them. I kicked up my feet...

I never thought I’d be planning a party for a dragon. And even if I did, I never thought it’d be for Lun’Kat, the Stygian Deceiver.
Then again, I’d lived long enough, seen hated enemies become the closest of friends and lovers turn on each other often enough that nothing truly took me by surprise anymore.

Artemis had long divined Iona’s goal and had given up trying to talk me out of it. She conjured a comfortable stone chair - the System didn’t care about oxymorons like that, not with people close to level 2000 - and sat down in it with her fingers steepled.
