2024-07-02 13:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostLong Wu Ying walked the halls of the ancient library and felt as though he was once again, a student visiting the sect library for the first time. It was the same sense of awe that had filled him at the time, seeing so many manuals, treatises and scrolls in one place. It was not the sheer volume ...

She waited for him to fall asleep, tucked up and warm underneath the numerous blankets that covered his body. His forehead damp, shivering a little as his body reacted to another breach, another moment of friction between immortal soul and body. Wu Ying’s eyes were crinkled a little, the now-ev...
2024-06-25 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostTime passed and moved on and the trio traversed nations, both large and small. The environment changed, forests turned to scrublands to sandy cliffs and deserts. The seasons turned, as the world burst to life as though in a rush to make up for years of insufficient water. Mounts were changed out,...

So, there's not been a business post in a bit. There's a good reason for that - I got sick. A minor complication - pink eye - that threw my writing off for a few days, and that still has lingering effects. I basically have some trouble seeing, and while it mostly (I think) requires a new pair of ...
2024-06-11 16:25:04 +0000 UTC View PostAmusingly, though they had spoken as though Wu Ying was to leave immediately, they delayed for a day so that Yang Mu could finish her initial discussions she had begun. Meeting up with other merchant groups, trading what basic mundane materials she had on-hand and learning about other goods that ...

In this case, debris and thrash that had gathered on lowered river banks or on old runways were swept into the water, causing an impromptu dam further down the river. That, by itself, cou...
2024-06-07 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was strange, speaking to a cultivator whose entire existence contradicted the very basis of cultivation that Wu Ying had grew up upon. Not to say that he had not understood it was possible – those who ate immortal peaches, who quaffed the wine of immortality or whose bloodline had grown in p...
2024-06-04 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostTo go west, they travelled to the north and east. It might have seemed strange, but the choice to take a riverboat across the water via a conveniently placed river and canal set-up meant that even the minor diversion over a few days after they skirted the mountain range would save them weeks of t...

“You are disturbingly familiar with this,” Tou He complained to Wu Ying, arms crossed.

Flame in the middle of summer, when the world was a tinder box could mean devastation and death for thousands. Perhaps that was the greatest difference...
2024-05-17 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAfter writing the TIAC post and noting I lost money on it (and, as my wife would say - again!), I would like to make a somewhat public admission.
