In case you're wondering why this chapter is titled "Siblings 2" despite there not being a "Siblings 1", that's because I titled the B2 Prologue "The Siblings" for the RR release, but there is no chapter title here. Anyways, thanks for reading, and enjoy.
“Oi, Pretty Boy!”
<... 2024-12-17 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostElise’s immediate instincts were to run, but she had nowhere to go. The room had only one exit, and the other changeling was standing in front of it. That left her with fighting, but being a full changeling, and one with an apparent specialty, it was a fight Elise would no doubt lose. That left...
2024-12-13 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“What are you talking about?” asked Elise, trying to sound casual.
She used {Charm} and {Suggest} as well, hoping to make her confusion seem more believable, but it was futile. Penelope’s hand was already on her sword hilt again, and Otto looked incredibly unimpressed by her feigned i...
2024-12-10 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI made a couple minor edits to the previous chapter, such as actually adding in the numbers for her {Fey Bargaining} level-up, as well as adding a quick level up to {Inspect} at the end when she checked the shop owner. In case you're wondering where the other levels came from, she's been slow...
2024-12-06 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostGetting back to the Shimmering Lotus was no easy task. The streets were busier than they were during the day, with what seemed like hundreds of people wandering around, half-drunk and incredibly loud. It got to the point that Elise gave up on trying to cross the streets on the ground. She was rel...
2024-12-03 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Thanksgiving! This isn't really a thematically appropriate chapter, but oh well. Enjoy, and thanks for reading.
“Put the knife down,” said Penelope.
“You first,” said the Boss. “I don’t want any more bloodshed. I surrender, but I want a guarantee that you’...
2024-11-29 00:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Y-Yuri?” asked Annie.
“Yes,” said Elise. “Who is he?”
“He’s a bad man,” said Marco.
“How bad?”
“He’s the worst! He killed Annie’s daddy!”
Elise frowned as Annie lowered her head. On the other side of the bed, Penelope’s knuckles were ...
2024-11-26 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter title may be changed in the near future. Not sure yet. Gotta see how the next couple chapters shake out.
It didn’t take long to find the Shimmering Lotus. It was only a street away, and it stood out like a sore thumb to a hammer. It wasn’t huge, or extravagant, or ...
2024-11-22 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPenelope set Elise down, then drew her sword and marched toward the open door. Elise thought to herself that she would have chosen a stealthier approach, but in full plate mail, there was no way that Penelope was sneaking up on anyone. Elise hopped behind, though she maintained a few steps’ dis...
2024-11-19 00:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post“W-wait, I’m not an enemy!” said Elise.
“Prove it!” said Penelope. “Who are you? Why are you here? How do you know what happened here? Or were you lying about that too?”
“I- I-” stammered Elise. “I can explain everything! Please put the sword away.”

2024-11-15 00:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe man was standing in a small clearing with his sword drawn and his back to a tree as a pack of wolves stalked back and forth just outside of his range. As she watched, one of the wolves lunged in toward him, only to veer away from the path of his blade as he swung down to intercept it. Elise h...
2024-11-12 00:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to Book 2. We have 2 word chapter titles now! I hope you enjoy.
Dwarven funerals are joyous occasions. They are full of drinking, laughter, good food, good company, and most importantly, more drinking. It’s considered an offense to the dead if the guests wake up the day a...
2024-11-08 00:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to Book 2! Thanks for reading! This prologue goes over what happened to the Grays after the warg attack. There is a Sophie PoV after the Nick PoV. On Thursday, we'll be back to Elise with the first chapter of B2. I hope you enjoy!

2024-11-05 00:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the official end of Book 1. Book 2 starts on Tuesday
The forest of Greenwood was changing, and Walter loved it. Everything was stronger now, and much tastier. None of it tasted as good as that one rabbit smelled, but it was much tastier than the boring animals that spawned ...
2024-11-01 00:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a bit short, but there wasn't really anything left to say
While the relations between the dwarves and the drow had not been repaired, a week of peace was enough that the urge to kill each other on sight had lessened a fair amount. This meant that they were able to successfully...
2024-10-29 00:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the second to last chapter in Book 1. Before I took it to the dev editor, it actually would have ended a couple chapters ago, but the dev editor felt it was rushed and that I skipped too much stuff, so I rewrote the ending and added a couple chapters. I learned my lesson the first tim...
2024-10-25 00:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThere was no place in the city large enough to host a feast for all its residents, so instead, the feast was split into different sections, each one taking one of the major streets leading to the castle. There was no longer any room to drive a cart, because there were thousands of tables and chai...
2024-10-22 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIn Chapter 48, I forgot that I was supposed to give Elise a nature spell at her evolution, so I edited that in. I also made a mistake and uploaded the wrong version of the chapter that had another incorrect skill. Her new skills for evolving are now {Lesser Transformation} 2024-10-18 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Values should now be fixed
Some values may be slightly off. I'll go through and verify them all in a few hours
2024-10-15 00:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I wrote this chapter, I thought "I'll go back and create the character sheets for each form later." It is now later and I have completely forgotten. I'll try to get those out in a couple hours.
When Elise was a human on Earth, she was not what she would have considered attract...
2024-10-15 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostMajor edits are complete. A few line edits still need to be made to later chapters, but the bulk of it is done.
So, I made a bunch of dev edits. I have a bullet point summary of all of them below, but I highly recommend you go back and read through yourselves (At least th...
2024-10-11 07:07:41 +0000 UTC View PostPatch Notes:
Matched inner monologue and narration to new content in previous edits
Altered Elise's mental recovery from Greta's words to better align with edits. Her motivation for helping the dwarves is much clearer now.
Patch Notes:
Largely rewritten, though the sequence of events is almost identical
Conversation with drow removed from beginning (because it was moved to the previous chapter
More guards on the wagon
Patch notes:
Completely rewritten. Please read the whole chapter
Council debate is more rational. Less yelling, more legitimate points
No wasting time on debating what to do with Elise. All business about what to do about ...
2024-10-11 06:44:11 +0000 UTC View PostEdits are complete. It's really late right now though, and I'm tired and don't trust myself to have not messed them up. I'll give them another quick look to make sure there are no glaring issues, and post the rest of them tonight. They'll be up on RR tomorrow, if you want a better reading exp...
2024-10-11 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPatch notes:
Elise's thoughts on the alarm altered to fit new situation
Drow break-in moved to castle, instead of city outskirts
Explain Elise's reasoning for agreeing to the fake imprisonment better (not forced. She was c...

General alterations to align with new content
Elise tells Hallbjorn she's planning to leave, and it is clear that Hallbjorn is willing to assist her if needed
Jonas and Baldur's lines slightly altered to match...
2024-10-09 08:02:44 +0000 UTC View PostNot quite all the edits are coming tonight. Rewriting the Council meeting is taking longer than I thought it would, and I had some school stuff to deal with. I'm more than halfway done with it, and then, the rest of the edits should be simple. I'll be posting Departure and Interrogation thoug...
2024-10-09 08:02:32 +0000 UTC View PostEdits are coming along, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to upload them tonight. I should finish them no problem, but then I have to upload them, and then I have to make the rest of the edits to existing chapters, such as renumbering, and I have to replicate those edits both here and on RR,...
2024-10-08 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the last of the new chapters. After this one, there is a brief timeskip (not 3 months), and it picks back up at what used to be chapter 15. Obviously though, the old chapter 15, which is now chapter 20, needed some serious work to line up with the new content. I've already finished ed...
