(CiP)[Hereafter] Chapter LIV: Court Mage

Don't forget your mountain-climbing gear.

EDIT: A certain someone chewed too much of the scenery, so this ballooned and the actual journey to Mount Etna will be next chapter. As a result, I d...

Oh. Huh. You mean I didn't...?

Well. This is awkward. I made it most of the way through writing this before I realized I hadn't posted a CiP for it.

"Mac Anu."

No, but really, Rome. Finally, over ten chapters in, we're getting to Rome itself. Septem has really kind of ballooned, but I think we're about two thirds of the way through now. T...

Wrote about 3000 words today. 2500 or so went into the next chapter of FRW, so expect to see chapter 11 of that sometime in the next day or so.

Finally, we can get to Rome itself. I hope.
