2023-08-13 00:16:53 +0000 UTC View PostApologies everyone for the lack of posts lately! I’ll have one Saturday for sure. I’m also hoping to go back on my ADHD meds. My psych appointment is tomorrow! It should help a lot, assuming that goes well. I’ve admittedly been a bit of a scattered, unorganized mess, mentally. With meds again, I should be able to add some structure/organization back into my days and feel a bit more motiva...

Healer Aevn proposed an exchange of information—the ingredients she would need for this potion in exchange for a “brief and perfectly safe” medical examination. As reluctant as I was to trust the woman, I agreed. It wasn’t as though I could stop her were she ...
2023-07-30 00:32:09 +0000 UTC View PostNo chapter today, unfortunately. I’ve gotten a bit behind on writing due to a several day power outage that happened over the weekend. I’m hoping to start doing Wed/Sat chapters, if I can. Though I’ve found it difficult to do two a week as of late, so no promises.
In other news, I’ve quit caffeine again lol. I’m pretty sure that I can stick with it this time, sinc...

2023-06-30 21:52:07 +0000 UTC View PostI’d known that the library would be a long shot, though part of me had still hoped to find even the smallest clue toward reversing this curse. Instead, all I’d done was confirm my inability to use magic, at least in its more typical forms. 2023-06-24 00:45:08 +0000 UTC View Post
I glared at the hand hovering in front of my face, willing my mana to pass through it and do, well, anything. My other hand gripped the seat of the chair tight enough for my red skin to pale. On the study table, several books were splayed open in fron...

It was difficult for Camilla not to stare down at the girl in her arms as she sped through the forest. Between the longer white hair and her large rabbit ears, Pearl looked both the same and different. It was obvious that she’d had some kind of breakthrough, triggered by whatever happened between her and Silas. The event pushed her firmly into the first true stage ...

Silas fell backward, stumbling to the ground as the wave of mana exploded out from my body. His sword flew off to the side as it slipped from his grasp and tumbled onto the dirt a few feet away. Neither of those things held my focus, however, as a tide of pain continued to crash throughout my body. My scream still rang in my ears as I sucked in a heavy breath. The ma...

I struggled against the Praevus’s grip as he tightened his gloved hand around my face, keeping me from shouting. Even as my teeth sunk into the leather, the man didn’t flinch. The blade against my throat had disappeared, but Praevus Emver had yet to let me go. I shoved and fought against him, elbows, hands and feet jabbing against his armor. Yet his grip on...

My hands pulled against the rope bindings, twisting in an effort to slip out of its tight hold around my wrists. Yet no matter how much I tried, I made no progress.
They were far too well tied, especially so for someone with no experience in escaping them. As expected, the sentinels knew what they were doing. My fidgeting did little more than rub my wrists raw....

Decision made, I turned and went to the surface to swim back, then stopped. I don’t need to surface. Despite everything, I felt a smile spread across my face.
I wonder how fast I can swim?

The second explosion hadn’t been nearly as shocking as the first. Though even as it shook the ground, I had no idea where it was. In truth, I was far too stunned by the smoking rubble in front of me to pay it much mind.
At the Praevus’s insistence, we approached one of the horses. Lena h...

2023-04-30 02:51:55 +0000 UTC View Post[Note: If you haven’t read the changes to the previous chapter, I’d recommend it! The changes aren’t suuper big, but big enough to warrant at least a reread of the second half imo?
Might change the chapter title. Not sure it’s silly enough tbh.

Lena walked just beside me, her hands clutching tightly around my own. The smithy was just ahead, yet the further we went, the more tense I felt. Something about the streets felt… barren. It wasn’t that there weren’t others around. We’d passed one or two by on our way. Yet something was off; we just weren’t sure what.
Lena met my gaze, and I knew for certain that she fe...

I was really struggling with the next one, and I realized it was partially because this one was off in a couple of ways. Chapter 8 is about half done now (after I also rewrote much of that lol), so it should be done before Friday. Sorry for the de...
