Schedule Update

Hi there,

So, we are back! I can't say I have exactly rested that much as I've been writing every single day, but it did good for my mind to be able to write without worrying about publishing...

33. Alike

Her reality was crumbling with every step. Life threatened to pour out of the gates. Every fiber of her being fought to keep everything in place.

Aloe stopped moving at some point. She couldn...

32. Ready

The couple of druids reached Asina in a matter of minutes, and whilst Xochipilli was trying to hide it, he was suffering from their mad dash. Whilst it was completely possible to run faster than so...

31. Softly

Power. Power overwhelming. There was no feeling more tearing than that of untapped and raw power trying to claw its way into freedom. By definition, power was corruption, but most forgot many of it...

30. Faith

Three individuals of diverse backgrounds soared through the skies in a compact aircraft. It was a technological marvel that heavily relied on the creations of Evolution, and only a handful of indiv...

29. Voyage

Serviceable even to someone who wasn't her mother, Gunseidhr brought an assortment of refreshments and pastries to the couple who sat before the coffee table.

"I have avoided asking this so f...

Break

Hello there,

The Writathon is complete now, so I am going to take a little break. I cannot say how long it will be, but at minimum a week. I will be dropping chapters here and there on Patreo...

28. Nature

Going down the tree was way more straightforward than going upward. Quite literally at that. It was a straight line.

The druid simply let himself fall from one of the branches – so his fall...

27. Discovery

Time was an… ephemeral thing. Ever-present yet invisible. A potent force so subtle that some failed to notice it. But for Xochipilli, time had another meaning. It wasn't a force, but a fact. It c...

26. Resurrected

"You have to trust me!" The woman shouted to such degrees that the blood vessels in her neck threatened to pop out. "I have died!"

"We want to believe you, sister…" A man covered in shadows...

25. Gates

"So our people will be free?" It was Xochipilli's uncle who asked the question.

"Indeed," the Mother of Plants nodded. "I have personally talked with the calipha, and this mass kidnapping is ...

24. Should

"Tell me, did you know it was me when you saw me?" Aloe spoke softly yet with incredible violence at the old lady feeding the birds before her.

"What are you talking about, dearie?" The old l...

23. Thinking

• Content warning for sexual assault. Discretion is advised.

***

The message was clear to Aloe. Mother was one of them. She did not know what to be more saddene...

22. Better

"There is not much more to tell, I am afraid," the Calipha continued with her tale. "There is one last 'secret', but I am reticent to call it so as it was as public as my position as the Calipha. Y...

21. Secrets

It was clear that Loyata could not rule itself, but it took a while before it became a Sultanate. First, the Emirates came. Considering that there were revolts here and there and a strong hand was ...

20. Caliphate

Ydaz marched to war at my order. In these handful of months, we had recruited and trained many more soldiers. Whilst there was a limit to how many standing soldiers the country could maintain at an...

19. Pregnant

It took a month for things to start to feel normal. Or rather, real. If I had been older, I could have acclimated to the change faster, but I was barely sixteen and I had the biggest country of Kha...

18. Conquest

The Loyatan armies were routed after the death of all the Grandmaster Assassins. They were their commanders and generals, so I had effectively wiped their chain of command. As we were only a handfu...

17. Vizier

After having left Xochipilli in the care of their assigned maid, Aloe nearly felt whole again. Perhaps whole was a misnomer, too much of a superlative, but she felt solid enough to function. That w...

16. Oblivion

What followed was a half-hour spew from Nesrine's mouth, and Aloe failed to understand even a fraction of it, not even a sliver. The engineer talked too fast, and her concepts were too complicated ...

15. Revolution

There were many plants in her repertoire, but Aloe knew that she shouldn't show them all. Some had the opportunity to cause calamities like the Slowtide, but there were others that she outright did...

14. Applications

The words rang in her mind like the screeching breaks of a train. Aya Ayad the spouse of our Calipha. Aloe felt her vision turn blurry. Black. Red.

So that's why you did...
