Might not be a TBoB chapter today. Job search has already taken a ton out of me, and I ended up rewriting half of this chapter (for the better though) - Gonna still try, so let's hope!

I sprinted out of the residential area, only to be confronted by a truly massive inferno.

I reached out and gently patted Camille on the shoulder. “Calm down, I’ll explain what I can.”
She looked at me suspicion, but didn’t say anything, so I turned and threw my arms wide in front of the massive crystal orb.

“Well, the solution seems easy to me,” Camille declared as she slowly sauntered forward. “I’ll go left and deal with the core, while you two go right. Then we get to do both!”

Just felt like doing another SS chapter today. I have to decide which story I want to concentrate on fairly soon. I love them both, and Imaginary is just getting to the good part, but I'm leaning towards SS right now. Opinions? 2025-05-02 17:06:30 +0000 UTC View Post

I slowly took in the refugees as they cowered in the little canyon alcove. Most of them had light colored hair, some even had pure white locks, green-blue eyes, and slightly pointed ears. “Half-Elves?” I mumbled under my breath. 2025-04-29 22:31:16 +0000 UTC View Post
