or like water creatures. Look up the Mosasaurus, it’s a giant extinct lizard which had fins instead on legs and swam instead of dwelling on land.

@ellette-giselle I can see that now. The map is awesome.

….are there actually dragons?

(if you don’t wanna go the hyper fantasy route, they could just be large lizards. Think Komodo dragons.)

@ellette-giselle cool, cool, I guess there’ll be a little town there from now on. I didn’t see the map, or if I did it was a while back ago.

are they still living in the cave or have they started doing something else? I can remember a few stories of Christian factions escaping into caves and stuff to avoid persecution and living there for a while.

@the_lostj-ournal you’re welcome! just keep drawing and you’ll keep improving.

@ellette-giselle wow! So are the other Christians gonna stay in the mountains forever (well, not forever, but at least for a decently long time, maybe make a town there) or are they gonna go over the mountains and to some hypothetical other side?

@ellette-giselle

Ah. Not sure what version I like better. Gravitating towards the one I already know, but only because it is familiar.

This is the version we sing at our church. Is it the same one your church uses?

Any thoughts on that? Do you think it’s good that it’s just back to Leon and Jul…

How long, oh Lord, how long
Will this go on, go on?
How long, oh Lord, how long
Will this go on, go on?

Was this song inspired by Psalm 13? We have a similar hymn we sing at out church inspired by that Psalm.

So they are headed back now. I guess they couldn’t hide in the mountains forever. I think you chose just the right moment…[Read more]

Ugh. I sound so heartless and not at all like I was tearing up AGAIN when I edited that scene, even though I’ve been over it more times then I can count.

lol

@elishavet-pidyon
Thank you! And I’m glad the examples made sense to someone besides me. The characters must be protected not only for themselves, but for the sake of story legacy. ⚔️

@loopylin

Too hesitant to kill off characters who probably should actually die for the plot/ their own arc.

Some people are definitely more like that. I fall…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle very true, it’s really worse for him.

Freezing to death is a nasty way to go though.

@whalekeeper @stephie @theducktator @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Chapter 25 out!

I don’t think I want this to be James. This is too similar to Eric. Both characters feel unappreciated, and grow depressed because they don’t fit in and feel. The only thing different is James has hope in The Saviour so he’s less self centered and is more outgoing.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle wow!!

poor Ernst, but at least he saved that soldier!

Oh yeah, I just remembered. I discussed this with another book-reading friend, and that’s why it was in my mind.

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle @keilah-h @theducktator

New chapters!

@ellette-giselle

Yeahh xD If I had stopped to think about it, I probably would have expected something to happen with it.

Oh yeah. Thanks for the reminder. XD

@ellette-giselle

Oh, that.

I didn’t see it coming, but I should have. 😂

@ellette-giselle

I do remember Julian talking to Ernst about his father, if that’s what you’re talking about. Nice to get a glimpse into his state of mind before… well…

@ellette-giselle

Wow. This has always been a favorite section of mine but, i must know, why did you say that? What makes this one stand out so much?a

The chase. Most of the time, when soldiers show up, we realize that this is it. For example, when Joseph and his family were arrested. We know there is only a slim chance of escape before they are…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I have to say, this was probably one of the most exciting sections I’ve ever read in this series.

Julian, Ernst, Rolf, and Walter have gone out hunting today.

Not Roland? I know he just got married, but that man loves hunting, and its not like he’s going on a honeymoon right now. They should at least invite him to be…[Read more]
