Happy Tuesday to everyone. I am pretty much writing in solitude right now… but I'm doing well. Sending hugs from Germany 💜

Thank you for the updates. Every day a little improvement, I’ll take that. Stay safe. (Dementia weekend with dad now—I’m writing a lot but taking my time, life is good I think)

That’s wonderful! 💙

Yes, I am. I thoroughly enjoy seeing people liking the story just as much as I did (AND I READ IT BEFORE!) Excellent work, my friend, as usual.

SNEAKY!

Hey everyone. Life’s a rollercoaster right now but I’m doing fine. Sending 🫰🏻💙 Sorry for being so quiet and absent.

Thank you, @JohnnyC — I am in fact doing that. The weather has been treating me well and I have a tan—looking frightfully radiant. I have written in the meantime, but many things led me to decide that it’s better to finish the story or at least a significant portion of it before continuing to post. When my long-term employment disintegrated with the bankruptcy at the beginning of the year, I had to build a business, not knowing it that would be fruitful or not. Well… it is. But it’s taken a lot of my free time and creative energy so it’s not easy for me to plan unpaid writing sessions anymore. I’m up to Chapter 34 right now, and I’m feeling good about it. But for the sanity of everyone, and especially myself, I need to hold back. For this apologize.

They just… think heating up meat is odd. Or frying it. But they’d eat it, I guess. The druids however… I love these questions. I don’t even have to think about them, I put my brain in [insert character name here] mode and just answer the questions as they would. 🧡

Thanks for the update and the continued work!

Do suggest! And thank you for the inspiration. I start writing fantasy vengeance when I feel attached to characters, and I am to yours.

From fire’s depths, Ifrit arose, With vengeful wrath, the night he chose, To cleanse the earth of vile disgrace, Traffickers and buyers, both to face. In shadows dark, their deeds were done, Ifrit’s flames spared not a one, Chains and sins turned into ash, Justice dealt in a fiery flash. No mercy for the wicked’s plea, For all complicit faced his spree, When dawn awoke, the land was clear, Ifrit’s wrath had scorched the fear. Having said that, I am sooooo looking forward to the next chapter I accept anything you’re throwing at us, because good writing is good writing. 💙

Either that or a melancholic ending, no love, but Andrew buying Matt to set him free with whatever happens after leaving open for interpretation. Then again, there are so many victims just in that ship, I can’t see a happy ending anywhere unless a fire demon reigns down on those responsible and mutilates them. I don’t think that’s in store for us, however Really good chapter. Still hooked, and more so. I wonder if D ends up helping more than telling Matt to jump.

You too 😁 I’ll take one of those packed lunches, please.
