Yeah, that makes sense. I’ve read the Ilyon Chronicles, which kind of has a similar vibe to your story’s time period and world, and one of the side characters (Christian) married a former prostitute after she became a believer. So, maybe it kind of reminded me of that, I don’t know.

@keilah-h

well good.

@keilah-h    @hybridlore

Exactly. She is not a love interest.

Also, another reason her and julian interacting  a lot wouldn’t be a good idea is because she has not had good involvment with men so she is really, really raw in that area and needs extra space.

@ellette-giselle

Yep lol.

Yeah, that makes sense. I couldn’t remember if it was an area he went through often or not.

Gotcha. Yeah, I get that. I was wondering if she might become a love interest for Julian, but if not, it’s probably better not to involve her too much.

@hybridlore

No problem. I guessed I’d get your attention with the second scene rather then the first. 😂

Well, I mentioned that Julian didn’t ever go down there, so his reputation got around through gossip rather then his own words.

She will become a part of the church, but she and Julian will not really have any scenes together. 1, it’s not…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

To be honest, I kind of guessed she was going to be a prostitute, so Julian’s reaction seemed a little much (especially to seeing her bare shoulder or whatever lol.) But then I reminded myself that it was different back then, so it made sense.

I would like to see her become a bigger part of the story, unless that doesn’t wor…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yep that’s true.

YES!! Thank you! It is!

@hybridlore

If you can pause a moment in your sorrow over Leon, what did you think of the scene with Julian and Rosalind?

@whalekeeper

It would definitely depend. Lol.

In Eirtan, I would stick out like a sore thumb, but the people are very nice. They might laugh at me, but one or two of the more respectable people would help me out. As long as I avoided Raiders and Dorwains and didn’t drown or suddenly become alergic to sheep, I would be fine. If I met up with the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

I’ve tried. I think she enjoys tormenting us 😂

@hybridlore

Yeah. A friend told me to split it or else he’ll wait to read it when he’s in solitary confinement. 😂

@keilah-h

Yeah! I’m glad you mentioned Julian. Most of the focus seems to be on Leon. I wonder why………… 🤔🤣

Do you think I’m really gonna tell you that?

@ellette-giselle
Ohhhh, okay. Wow, that is a longgg book. XD

Hmmm. I have too many WIPs

Welp, if I ended up in Areth Realms, I’d have about a 50% chance of survival depending on which people group I ended up with (Vere=dead. Alven= probably survive if made it beyond the first 10 minutes. Gnomes= I’d be fine. Randir= probably survive? They won’t hurt a woman)

If Cleft of the Cosmos, I’d be okay if I could…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I don’t know. You see, because I split Leon and Julian’s story, this book got to 1200+ book pages, so I’m going to cut it in half, but it’s still one full book on the Word Document. I think we only have about 100 Word Doc pages left before the place I planned to split the book, but I could be mistaken.

@ellette-giselle

Oh, okay. Out of how many pages total?

And are these Word/Docs pages, or like actual book pages?

@hybridlore

Hmm, I’m not sure.

I think we have close to 100 pages left.

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Aw, Hugo.

Viktor

It was nice to be part of a group. The chipped plaster work on the ceiling smiled down at them from between florescent lights. Viktor adjusted his bag with a smile.

He would have offered to lend Lois his books, but he was relieved when Hugo had. Viktor had notes scribbled in the margins, and his…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Augghhhhh.

Wow, this book felt way shorter than the second one. Is that the case, or was it just me?

@hybridlore

Please tell me you’re not really going to kill him off.

*goes back and rereads section*

He felt himself shaking and he tried to twist away from the source of the blows but couldn’t. As darkness closed in, the pain began to lesson until all he could feel was fire burning through him.

The overseer struck again and again and aga…[Read more]

Out of curiosity, how far are we through the book by now?
