"Well, that was a good first sortie." Said Allya as she looked at the map spread on the council room table, covered in figurines and tokens representing the ever increasing number of armies and fleets in play. One of those, the Republic's main army, was getting dangerously close to Rebirth. "Hopef...

They were actually one chapter at the beginning, but I got so carried away writing 204 I got over 4.3k words and decided to split it into two. So yeah, added a final part, and now it's a pair of chapters, over 2.5 and 2.2k words long respectively. Hopefully I chose my cutting off point wisely and it will flow nicely. 2023-11-09 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
