2023-09-23 03:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBuilding a castle for the first time turned out to be a little more difficult than using gem abilities. Twilight fell by the time much progress was made.
By then, Nathan had allowed the Twins to wander. More for his sanity...
2023-09-22 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“So, what do you want us to do?” Maura asked before Nathan could say or do anything else.

2023-09-17 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNote: There's been a slight change to Chapter 15 in the final version. Seraph and Fei have switched places, so Fei goes with Fyre and Seraph is in the portal. This is reflected in this chapter.
