I know, I skipped a week, it was honestly on accident due to my work schedule shifting around last week. By the time I realized it, I decided rather than rushing to dump this out a day late, I’d just hold off a week.
If I’m being honest, an extra week didn’t help. I’ll explain more after the story. Enjoy! PLEASE!!!
I thought this would be the final entry, but it started getting way too long. So I promise this is the penultimate chapter. It wraps up next week!
When we last left Traudl, she was deep in the evil domain of the fiend, Mozebarr. I already spoiled that this isn’t the final chapter, so I won’t pretend she fights and defeats him this time out. So… there goes that excitement.
But, please… read anyway! I promise it’s good!
We’re in the home stretch! Friends will be enemies. Enemies will be friends. Secrets will, at long, last be revealed.
Is any of that true?
Probably not!
But the only way to know is to read on…
Ok, I’m a day late, but in my defense, I did have this just about ready to go out last night, but it was a holiday. I was doing my duty, as an American, to partake in all the most important patriotic duties: watching baseball, eating hot dogs, and watching fireworks while songs play, unironically, that sound patriotic, but are actually critical of some aspect of American society.
Anyway, Traudl’s quest continues with a shocking new development. Could she have found what she was looking for already? Obviously not, there are still a few more chapters to go!
Based on how much of the old version of this story is left, and about how much I’ve been excising in the re-write, I anticipate there are probably 3 more parts to go, so 8 parts in total.
Will it be worth it to stick around to the end?
OF COURSE!
Traudl continues her quest to… what is she doing exactly? She was supposed to be finding her friend’s husband, now she’s mucking about fighting monsters and earning gold???
Traudl continues her quest in the mysterious land to find her friend’s husband, and grind out some XP and GP so she can get the best weapons and armor.
Back to the well this week. Here’s the first part of something I wrote almost twenty-five years ago. I’ve basically re-written from the ground up in order to detach it from a larger series I was working on (that never went anywhere), and also to make it a little less on the nose than it originally was. A little more background and explanation will follow.
Enjoy!
Yes, I am posting this a day later than usual, but that was by design. My work travel arrangements have shifted slightly and as such Thursday is my best day to devote to writing (or revising what I’ve already written earlier in the week). I’ll take a lump for being a day late, but this is the new schedule I’m going to try to stick to!
Today we continue the story of Aržak and his pals in an alternate ancient Earth. We are reunited with Chobo at long last. I’ve missed the little guy.
And we’re back to ancient times. I have to warn you, Chobo is not in this chapter. Though he is mentioned a few times. So don’t lose hope. Chobo will return!
On with the story…
