I agree with what @raxforge said and would like to add to it.

Not only does God glorify himself through all that he does, he works all things to the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). So Satan also exists for our good.

Put it this way. Another question people ask is ‘Why does God allow sin to exist?’ or ‘Why did God create us…[Read more]

@rae @theshadow

Do you guys want to try joining up with another small group?

Aw, Barnes is trying to be the comforting grandmother to everyone!

*Gasp* How dare you, she isn’t even forty yet! 😂 I get what you mean. Honestly she would be a pretty grumpy grandma. The grandma who complains about kids but gives them cookies all the…[Read more]

@theshadow

Why did God make Satan if He knew Satan was going to rebel?

*The future pastor in me jumping up and down with joy with a wonderful question* Ehm, I see, I shall try my best to give an answer, though it might not be the most accurate.

But honestly, the same logic kinda applies to “why did God make humans if he knew they’d sin…

Tenz&Reid

Tenz peeked out from where he hid his face, studying the pictures. Slowly, he unfolded himself, tenderly reaching out to grasp the packet. He studied the pictures much longer this time, looking up every once in a while with his blue…[Read more]

Barnes

“I was thinking we start down this corridor along the edge of the castle, and scour the place for clues and people,” Barnes told Percival.

The group waited a few minutes for Reid to calm his brother, who remained stubbornly curled up. He was still agitated.

Barnes was used to people who looked much younger than their…[Read more]

@theshadow well…..

I’m nowhere near even a novice theologian or pastor or whatnot, so I’m really not qualified to answer. But honestly, the same logic kinda applies to “why did God make humans if he knew they’d sin?”

believe me, I’ve had some “Why—just why—did you make that, God?” moments myself. But I’m just a lowly human being, who am I t…[Read more]

@theshadow

I…have no idea, so I don’t think I’ll be much help. Have you asked your pastor?

@theshadow @theduckator

That sounds great! I’ll tag some other people to see if they want to join as well.

Next chapter. This was getting a little long and I realized I didn’t have too much planned for chapter the 26th, so I decided to move the climax of the rescue into the next chapter. I should hopefully get that to you by the end of this week.

Chapter the 25th – The Rescue

@theshadow Maybe. Especially considering the bringing him back to life thing lol.

But it probably stems more from the fact that Soldier and Demo have canonically made some powerful enemies (sometimes on purpose, sometimes not lol). Soldier in particular had an ex-roommate-turned-mortal-enemy who was a wizard, and has literally made it his…[Read more]

Reid

“Is that why he acts like a child?” Rowen asked.

Reid nodded, “Sometimes I have a hard time remembering that he is the older, or that he even is a teen!”

@theshadow oh no!! I’ll pray for you.

@theshadow

Prayers and hugs 🙏🏻💕🫂

@theshadow

Praying 🙏 🙏 God is with you and your family, even when it’s hard to see Him or trust. I love these verses from Psalm 16  —

“I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body r…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @stephie @keilah-h @theducktator @loopylin @theshadow

Sadly, I do not know if I am going to get another chapter to you this week. I had a plan for it, and it was going well, but then one of my characters was taken hostage and is threatening to ruin the whole rescue mission and I can’t figure out how to get him out of there. Alan…[Read more]

Tenz and Reid

Reid brightened. “Yes, let’s!” He exclaimed with youthful excitement. “C’mon, Tenz, you love exploring!”

But Tenz remained curled up in the corner, his face buried in Omi’s jacket. “Leave me alone,” he sobbed into the jacket.

Reid sighed, wrapping his tendrils around his brother, completely encasing him.…[Read more]

Next chapter! This scene was a little fun to write as it uses a new location that did not exist within my first draft.

The last bit of character I want Alan to develop may now be more apparent, Keliah.

Chapter the 24th – The Plan

Joy

So apparently there were instruments around here. Silvanis and Fairy had each found one. Joy didn’t recognize Fairy’s, but Silvanis’ appeared to be a piano. Fairy began to play, and Silvanis joined in. Joy leaned forward. Their music sounded like nothing she had ever heard…[Read more]

Barnes

Everyone slumped, and hesitated to do anything. The three medieval individuals still ate silently. Reid comforted his brother, who would surely need a lot of monitoring during this adventure, and Hugo still sat alone by the fire. Even the food hadn’t done much good.

This couldn’t go on. Barnes had to take own…[Read more]
