Yes, but we can enter the maze if you like

Also, i taught myself how to read, so the exeperience of someone teaching you in unfamiliar to me.

That’s impressive. I’d never be able to do that.

since many school curriculums don’t quite hit the mark

Agreed. I remember I had a youth group thing called Olympians every Wednesday night at our old Church, and I was six when I started i…[Read more]

I keep wanting to tag you as @the_potato-reporter 😆

Sorry for taking SOOOOO lonnnnnng to reply… 😅

Don’t worry about it. It happens for the littlest and the biggest reasons to everyone.

I’ll remember to pray for you!

Anyways, every step I take I take two backwards

Yeah, I can relate. Last summer I had Lyme’s and Legionella really bad, and as soon as it appeared I was on the mend, everything got worse, and it turned out I had Bartonella on top of it. Thankfully, I appear to be over everything now…except the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

As a person who knows a lot about phonemes and stuff cause of my very meticulous tutor, I get it, but I don’t know if all the letter sounds and stuff will confuse people.

Yes, I was a little worried about that. My Grandma taught me how to read, and she also was very meticulous. I tried to write the scene as the closest thing to what I r…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @keilah-h @the_lost-journal @ellette-giselle @highscribeofaetherium

I think I tagged the right people

Do you remember the beginning scene of A Visitor in the Night from The Baron Chronicles where Simeon is reading something? So, I just spent 27 minutes changing that scene because the thing he reads is from an actual book that isn’t…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I’m rather too ill to participate in much of anything

You okay? I hope it’s nothing too serious 🙁

@linus-smallprint

What is up with KP? I haven’t gotten any notifs.

No. You’re fine to keep it in. Instead of feeling like it something I needed to get over for the next part, this felt more like setting the stage for the climax.

Okay, that makes sense.

Do you ever get your dad to look over these sermon/speeches?

My dad actually hasn’t r…[Read more]

“The Fourth Protector. He painted the broken chains on my mask. I am the Fifth, I painted on the flower.”

@the_lost-journal

The Protector-Gabriel

“The mask was inherited from my mentor.” Despite Leander’s agitated tone, Gabriel’s voice remained the same calm, measured tone. “I also object to you going alone. You are too reckless. You wouldn’t last a day in my line of occupation. If you so wish, we can go just the two of us, and leave everyone else…[Read more]

NEXT SECTION!!!

It was late into the evening before the meeting finally broke up. Julian’s words had shaken the little church, and they were ready and open to hear more. As Leon and Julian took turns speaking to them and en…

Gabriel sighed. “People don’t follow princes who make fun of them. Also, I advise you be careful what you say under your breath. I have sharp ears.”

@keilah-h    @linus-smallprint    @hybridlore

Okay, here’s a question for y’all.

So, I personally really like Julian’s speech/sermon, whatever it is. (I cringe when y’all say sermon because I’m a woman and I wrote it. But I guess Julian is a guy. 🤣) Anyhow, I really like some of the themes it hits, I like the flow. Basically, I perso…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Well, first off, this is Julian we’re talking about. Leon had more understanding for them. Second, this is really their first time going through something like this. The last time was in Ardenta, and Ardentans have a certain brute stubbornness and willingness to just hang on that a lot of other cultures don’t. (That’s part of why…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I don’t know who fell apart worse, them or the church in Clonabay.

Julian’s sermon is fine, but I think he needs to remind them more of what they are fighting for. What the reward in heavan will be.

mkay, that works. I’ll try to pull some of that in.

Have these three actually been participating in idol worship, or is J…

@hybridlore

Hmm, the problem is, I’m trying not to drag things like “greek” and “hebrew” in because that muddies the world a bit because it is technically an alternate reality.

Well, it’s a bit of a chopped up version (due to space. Who made the rule of 100 characters anyways?!) But it’s a Chesterton quote that reads,

@the_lost-journal

Good night!

I will patiently await Leander’s probably fuming response…

@the_lost-journal

The Protector-Gabriel

“I’m called the Protector.” His voice remained the same, and he made no movement to bow or show any recognition to Leander’s princely status.

I know, it’s short, but Gabriel doesn’t talk too much unless he’s in a banter mood, which does occasionally happen.

@the_lost-journal

The Protector-Gabriel

“If we stick as a group, it will be easier to keep others from falling to harm, but it also means we will cover less ground and it will be therefore longer before we can find enough of those purple balls to send everyone home.” The Protector ignored Leander’s last question. “Sticking as a group will keep…[Read more]
