And we're back! For those who are curious, the Wedding was great. We had some people staying with us throughout the week, which made writing difficult, along with everything else that being involved with a wedding entails. I appreciate the break, but I'm ready to get back i...

It was with a certain amount of excitement that I ventured forward. Sure, the past hadn't been all that fun in the grand scheme of things, but it had led me here, and that amounted to something at least.

I tried to write anyway but just couldn't get a chapter out. I'll probably take tomorrow off as well, but I will be back to posting regularly on Monday.

It felt like a decade had passed since the first time he had made the journey to Frostheim, but it had only been a few years. If that, really. His life had changed so much in such a short time, for good and bad, that it was hard ...

It was getting colder, which was a boon in more ways than one. The gradual shifting of the seasons made it difficult to distinctly feel the changes from day to day.

He stood and watched as all of the nobles arrived. There was no need to check their titles once again, as that was done before they even set foot in the city. No, he was watching for a different reason.

This chapter may seem familiar to those who were here before the rewrite, but it's been changed enough I recommend re-reading it, especially Vasaria's portion. The lore added will come in useful later.

That seems like a dangerous two-way road. From what I was reading of [Tyr's Judgement], it didn't influence the fight in any way; it only demanded that it happen. While I was confident in fighting almost anything one-on-one, ...
