You're welcome prettyname. I am one of those folks that dislike starting a story and enjoying it only to discover later on that it would not continue. I did not want to do the same thing to anyone who reads my books. Although the wait between books is inevitable. Hehe.

You're welcome! And thank you for reading it.

EPILOGUE Matty was troubled. Sam wasn’t acting like himself. He had known Sam for too long to not recognize when something was wrong... or when he meant something he said. And Matty knew that Sam didn’t mean the hurtful things he said. The words were there but there was also a hesitation in his body. It was like he was trying to stop himself from saying those words yet he couldn’t. Matty suspected what was happening to Sam but had no proof of it. He knew what it was like to have someone or so

Hehe. Nothing yet on the Charlie front.

Sam and Matty (along with other characters in SoV) are secondary characters in the next book (which will have a similar length to A:TSW). So, you will see this story arc continue in those stories.

Realistically, Book 2 of this series (Edge of Darkness) won't be out for at least several months. After my last story (Charlie), I decided to write future stories in their entirety before releasing any chapter of it to the public. And although I've started writing Book 2, it is VERY FAR from being completed at this point. Book 1 took me several months to write as I do this in my spare time rather than having it take up most of my time. Also, the two mini-novels (Spirit of Vengeance and the one I intend to write between Book 2 and 3) have similar formats such that they happen simultaneously with events in the other books while involving other main characters which will serve as important secondary characters to the rest of the story. So yes, where the mini-novel and the main books intersect, it might feel like there is a huge cliffhanger (as you might see here) but it's mostly because the next book will pretty much pick up where the mini-novel left off. So think of the "next chapter" being in Edge of Darkness rather than the story just ending.

CHAPTER 15: Vengeance “Do you understand why I have called you here?” The Lady said as she stood tall before me. It had been several days since we returned to Malden. My uncle was vehement in keeping me from talking to The Lady. His outlook of her seemed to have changed quite quickly after the events in Alba. But Grand Master Assero himself went to me and brought me to her. My uncle could do nothing but watch. We were alone in her chambers. Grand Master Assero had excused himself. I suspected

You're welcome!

Cheers.

CHAPTER 14: Chosen War had broken out against the Seven Cities. Non-mages, humans without magic from the Northern Kingdoms, had come into the Mage Lands and attacked the city of Arantiva. The battle was almost lost if not for the heroic deeds of a few of the city’s inhabitants. “It’s getting bad out there, isn’t it?” Matty asked. His hands were intertwined with mine. Despite everything that’s happened, I found myself liking Matty more and more, especially through the many weeks I spent nursing

Thanks Wicked Witch!

Welcome!

CHAPTER 13: Journeymen Matty was shaking with fear, excitement, or exhaustion, perhaps even all three, as we rode away from the Hoarfrost Caverns back towards Malden. The journey would have taken almost two days by foot. In our condition, it might have taken more assuming Matty would have survived the trip. On Phino-e’s back though, it felt like half a day had barely passed as we jumped over hills and charged though tiny paths in the trees. Matty was silent the entire way back. I could underst

He does... or he will.

Thanks Mike00! Letting me know even many months later is still better than never letting me know!

Hehe. If I were to write anything more related to the plot, it would be an entire story of its own.

Cheers!

Thanks JCtoGO2! I'm glad you like it.

The events in A:TSW is sandwiched between the events in SoV. Don't worry, it will be clear before the end exactly what happened when in relation to the two story lines. The last few chapters will make it clear.

CHAPTER 12: The Other World Falling from a very high place into a rushing river hurts a lot more than I thought it would. I had never before run head first into a brick wall but I imagine that is how it very much feels. The darkness was overwhelming. There was no light. Just the rushing sound of a cold river that was slowly drowning me. I tried to maintain the spells that allowed me to separate the air from the water which would allow me to breath. But I could not focus. I kept hitting things

Thanks prettyname!

Still a bit to go but this mininovel is almost done.

Thanks! I guess that was literally a cliffie huh?

CHAPTER 11: The Rites of Water “Are you okay?” Matty asked as we walked along with Ernie, Nathan, and all the other trainees. “You’ve been troubled ever since you returned from your trip. Did something bad happen?” I looked up from the ground to stare ahead at our destination. It didn’t seem so long ago yet there we were once more at the mouth of Hoarfrost Caverns. The teeth-like jagged spikes that populated the entrance still smiled as dangerously as I remembered it. I knew though that instea
