Epilogue

Barrisha looked out over the castle wall, despair gripping her entire being as she looked at the monsters assembling outside of Draverdin’s defenses. While the sight of monsters was a normal occurrence, especially over the last few weeks, it was the high number of mons...

Next project?

As I wrote in my post about my plans for next week, I'll be taking a few days off before I start my next project.  As for what that next project is, well, I wanted to see what my Patrons thought.

There are 4 options of what my next project will be, as far as I can see.  First, I c...

Plans for December 10 - 15

Book 4 is almost done!  I just have the epilogue that I'll be writing on Sunday, and then I'll be spending a day or two editing and scheduling the rest of the chapters on Royal Road.  After that, I'll probably be taking some days off before I start my next project!

The wind rushed by Larek as he flew backwards, his chest stinging from where the massive snake had swung its tail at him like a whip, taking advantage of the cooldown on his Automatic Ice Repulsion Field to get a hit in. After blocking the other snake’s lunging bite ...

While the glow from the stones he had left behind him helped to illuminate the tunnel for a ways, a few of them extremely bright at Magnitude 10 that allowed the light to reach up to 500 feet away, as soon as the passageway he was traveling down began to curve to the right, Lar...

As the oppressive shadows enfolded him in its embrace, Larek was left unable to see anything as he quickly left behind any source of light around him. He wasn’t sure if he should be thankful or not, but his eventual landing through the darkness was cushioned when he crushed s...

Pulling out one of his Adjustable Illumination +10 stones out of his belt pouch, Larek warned the others to close their eyes as he activated it at Magnitude 5, as even at that brightness it could be uncomfortable to look at for long – especially for those who lived u...

With so little material to work with, considering that the Drekkin didn’t wear pants, arranging the Fusions on the armor that the group reluctantly removed from their persons so that they all fit on them without overlapping was the hardest part. Thankfully, Larek was already ...

Plans for December 3-8

It's getting closer to being finished!  I didn't get as much as I wanted written for The Fusionist Book 4 this week, as Galacticon last weekend wiped me out, and then events during the week seemed to want to delay me at every opportunity (from a sudden doctor appointment to our water heater ...

Attacking and killing everything in their way toward closing the Aperture was easier said than done. The first obstacle was convincing the Drekkin to go along with it, as they immediately dismissed his plan as foolish. In a way, they were correct; as they all were right now, th...

Larek’s first sight of the Drekkin city the group led him to was awe-inspiring, as it was much bigger than he expected it to be. Based on what he’d seen of their height, the knowledge that they lived underground, and the fact that they had been essentially besieged by the m...
