Hey everyone!

  I know I’ve been ghosting you guys for a few days—my bad! Life decided to throw me a curveball, and suddenly my schedule went haywire. I promise I didn’t abandon the story (or you!)—just needed a tiny breather to sort things out.

  But guess what? I’m back, recharged, and ready to make it up to you! To apologize for the silence, I’m dropping five chapters in a row starting right now. Yep, you read that right—five!

  Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

  Hope you’re as excited as I am to dive back into the story. Thanks for sticking with me through the chaos—you’re the best readers ever!

  Catch you in the comments!

  Coming soon: Tian executes the Goblin Priest, builds up his forces, and raids the Elf Village. You know... that kind of raid. ??
