Thanks for the comment. Those are relevant questions. There is more to come, but in the next chapter, the point of view character will change.
-
Apologies for the delay in publishing the new chapter. It was actually ready on Tuesday, but I had technical problems with the moderation queue - probably due to my own clumsiness 😔 I hope you enjoyed this chapter anyway. At least now Jolanda's background is revealed.😶

"Somewhere far away, at the end of the world, lies the Bewitched Land. There, the sun never rises, and the moon sheds no light. It is the dark land of the dreaders. Whoever finds the Bewitched Land finds death as well. Thus not a soul can tell us about this place, gruesome and mean." - The Chronicle of Cedne Usvamieli, A Poem About The Dreaders, compiled around 150 New Era * * * Josel Nothing could be done, but Josel remained kneeling on the road, staring at the body in

Let's just say that the appearance of a monster like the dreader on a road near Paidos is hardly a coincidence 😶

You are right. I personally like epic fantasy - even without the gay romance. But when you add a gay theme, I like them even more. Since quite a few fantasy novels have that, I decided to write my own story 🙂
-
@Al Norris Yes. I think you were right about Shadow Cross 😄
-
I fear that Josel is in for many rude awakenings in this story. It does not help, that he is still a little naive for his age and rather stubborn by nature.
-
@Al Norris Thank you for your comment! I guess as the story goes further, we'll find out if your hunch about the Shadow Cross is correct 🙂
-
@akascrubber Thank you for your comment. This chapter is a prelude to subsequent events that will also strongly affect Josel and partners. In the next chapter, we are back with Josel and Zdain.

"It was not the usual darkness. No, there was something wrong, something accursed. The sleeping beast had awoken. With pain and death it crossed the land. Again and again you raided against the night and again and again it tore you apart. The world was burning and the world was drowning. And above all this was a red glow. Red is the colour of blood. Black is the colour of the devil. Black and red, together they bring death. It was called the Age of Oblivion." - Chronicle of N

The next chapter is in the moderation queue, but a technical problem has arisen which needs to be resolved by the admins. Only then will I be able to publish the chapter. Sorry for the delay.

@Seraph28 Yep, I had a slow day at work, so I finished this chapter early 🙂 Curtus' death was indeed quite a shock, especially for the boys who are now alone on a dark forest road. @drsawzall Josel still has a lot to learn. He may not be the easiest travelling companion for Zdain... @akascrubber The boys know where to go, but the journey to their destination may not be easy. In the next chapter, we'll dive into the past with other characters. The boys will stay on the forest road for a while and wait for the readers 😉

"After coming to power, the Negos family successfully continued the previous ruling family's campaign to eradicate all forms of religiosity from Andiol. The imperial rulers wanted to elevate themselves as the sole absolute authority and thus justify their right to the throne. The existence of gods would have interfered with this autocracy, however dishonourable the idea may seem to us. The Dimalis, who make up the majority of Andiol's population, are today virtually irreligious, which is a

@akascrubber@drsawzall Thank you, my loyal readers, for your comments ☺️ Now it finally started to happen. As you both said, poor Josel is now facing big changes in his life. It will not be easy for him in the future either. I don't know if Zdain's arrival was a surprise, but he too has a role to play in this story. There will be more surprises later, though 🫡

Josel The warm, blazing sun had already climbed to the top of the sky when Josel stepped out of the door of his home. He had woken late and received a gentle bark from Curtus as he finally slouched into the lounge. Last night's conversation with his father had kept him pondering all morning. Josel had been sitting in the soft armchair in the lounge, trying to make sense of the jumble of things his father had told him. The result was that he knew too little, but enough to understand tha

@Seraph28 I'm really glad to hear that you're looking forward to the new chapters 🙂 This is indeed a rather slow start, as the story is long - in fact, The Shadowy Path is only the first book of the series! I think some people are also looking forward to the gay romance. That is certainly coming, but not just yet 😉 This is also a love story, but there are other themes as well.
-
@akascrubber A very good reflection. Josel has only just found out a snippet of the truth. I have a feeling that more is about to happen soon.😬 @drsawzall Just wait...More to come.

"There has been a rapid advancement in technology in our beloved homeland. The results of Emperor Saveir's and the Senate's tireless efforts are beginning to show: manufactories of the most varied industrial products are now springing up in every town. Their pipes are blowing unprecedented wealth into Andiol, and in the coming years we will all be able to enjoy the fruits that the emperor has given to his people. We have also recently witnessed other changes since the days of o

Very nice and well written story. Lots of confusion and emotion, but relief at the end 😉
-
Thank you for the very nice feedback. I hope you continue to enjoy the story 🙂
-
@akascrubber It's true that danger clearly hangs in the air. @drsawzall I know the book. I am pretty sure, however, that this story is not as desperate.
-
"Our Empire has long been under pressure from many threats. While the Shadow Cross likes to flex its muscles, it can only undermine order in our homeland. Far more unpredictable is the republican opposition, whose efforts we have been following closely here at Military Headquarters. So far, attempts to crush the opposition movement have been unsuccessful. So much for domestic affairs. Let us now move on to the real subject of my speech, the external threats that our armed forces

Thank you! There is much more to come; this is going to be a very long story. 😎
-
@Seraph28Thank you for your comment🙂 Good to know that the new chapters are expected. It motivates me to stay on schedule. @akascrubberTrue. Josel is still completely clueless. Let's see how the situation develops😬 @drsawzallA shitestorm is indeed the right word to describe the situation in the arena. We shall see if this has any consequences.

Andreuz Paidos, Andiol Empire The stands surrounding the Great Arena were packed with townspeople. It was as if all of Paidos had come out to celebrate an official holiday. Dozens of yellow-red flags of Andiol were hoisted above the stands, fluttering proudly in honour of the day whenever wind caught them. The slightest breeze was certainly welcome as the tightly packed crowd sweated under the spring sunshine. The choir, accompanied by musical instruments, finished its performan
