Yep. It was a glorious movie, wasn’t it? Especially KB1

It should be. I’m writing on an iPad, which means autocorrect saves me a lot of trouble but it also means it sort of arbitrarily mixes up from and form. Like, usually I typed pretty quickly and it results in something like froam. Them autocorrect changes it and since from and form almost look identically I mostly don’t catch the mistake. Might happen a few times every once in a while. There are a few other examples. Nigh and neigh, then and than… pretty much everything that looks awfully similar.

Well, she is feeling guilty, so… :)

Right you are

Hah! I always wondered if no one recognised the… it’s not really a quote since only the first two lines are identical, but let’s call it a homage. I had already feared games of culture had fallen out of grace. And no… I honestly didn’t think of Cassandra Pentaghast when I made up Cassy’s name. The whole Pendragon thing should be clear by now and Cassandra is taken from Greek mythology. Her name has quite a bit of meaning and it’s not chosen arbitrarily, even though I like the sound of it very much.

So much anger, young Skywalker…

As long as it doesn’t feel exhausting to read I’m content :)

Cool. If you want me to explain anything, just drop a comment. Maybe I’ll tell you to wait for a few more chapters, since the explanation will come, but in general I also try to stay away from all the times whimsy esoteric explanations. It’s magic often works for me :P On a more serious note, that whole story and become pretty massive so I might have forgotten some necessary explanations. Do tell if anything seems weird or wrong.

There should also have been a description somewhere in the book. Come to think of it… more ham once, actually :) But yeah, that’s Cassy on the cover

Yah well, great power, great responsibilities and even greater problems. Seriously, though, since I can hardly make her bleed once she’s developed a bit further,unless she’s faced with another immortal, she’s got to learn one very important lesson before she becomes to strong to get kicked around like a punching ball: no matter how powerful you are, it might take nothing but a single mistake or a bit of bad luck to end your life. So having her hover on the brink of death a few times is just my way of having her learn :) Also you might have noticed a slight increase in power when it comes to her enemies. A curse and constructs of magic, then a dragon and now a nigh transcendent prison and its inhabitant. Won’t get much worse than that, at least not on this world.

It’s a lil bit hard to try explaining without knowing what actually got you confused :) So…. I’ll try with some context. Spoilers ahead: Time is breaking down. She’s switching between different time streams, or rather seeing the possibilities that could have occurred if they had acted differently at one point or the other. That’s also why she acted erratically in camp. In other words, several… alternatives are colliding and she’s more or less cutting her way through reality to,switch between one and the other. Hope that helped, if not, just tell me what has you confused, but some explanations are in the chapters ahead… if you don’t want to get spoiled wait until they leave the to,b again. I’ll gladly answer anything that’s unclear by then.

She has changed quite a bit. A description is in one of the following chapters. It’s a hint towards her development, one she hasn’t picked up on, preoccupied as she is.

Or rather somewhere in between :) let’s see how it turns out, shall we?

Burning is surely the theme for he next few chapters :)

Thanks, gonna edit it :)

That’s a typo. Should be plait as in hair plait.

I’m writing not painting or hammering commands into an ai interface, sorry :) I might post a map somewhere down the line but that’s already frustrating enough. If you want to, you’re very welcome to try your hand, though. Also… you’ve got a picture of Cassy and that took me hours to get :/

My pleasure

My editor still claims it’s free to read and since you haven’t replied, I imagine we’ve somehow got our signals mixed. Anyways, I’ll leave it at that. If anyone encounters a paywall, though, please, do tell me.

You’re very welcome and thanks a ton for the praise! I’m glad you’re enjoying Cassy’s story. As for the ending, well, if I truly wanted to write everything I had planned originally, we’ll be here for quite a while still. As the title might insinuate, I originally meant to write about the conflict between immortals but we haven’t even gotten there, yet :(
