“I would trust once again you to keep my sanctum safe,” he said as if no one else existed. He opened his fingers, revealing his serpent mark.
“Oh, certainly,” I replied, taking it and clipping it back onto my sword. When I looked back up, he still appeared quite expectant.
“Is… there something else?”
“I’ve been quite polite this time,” Olethros explained, gesturing vaguely to the others. “You might say I’ve behaved admirably.”
“I might?”
“You should,” he corrected, leaning in. “I require your praise.”
“Uh… Good job?” I went to pat his shoulder. He turned his head at the
last second, so I ended up patting the top of his head instead.
He slowly looked up at me, eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Galenus,
Ambrose, and even Amos had frozen, their silent, incredulous looks speaking volumes.
Well, whatever he wanted, I guess I played along.
His brows knit, and he straightened with a faint sigh. “It is a start.”
I had the distinct feeling I’d missed something important.
New chapter up! Demon headpats are apparently important.

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading
Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.
The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.
Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.
Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Rules and labels are great for when you're just starting out as a person but as you grow you can start to accept that everything is nebulous and there are very few binary truths

Prescribing Rye Bread for Constipation?
Dr Alicia Muratore discusses the available evidence for rye bread as a constipation treatment.
www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...
“As gastroenterologists, our job isn’t to chase headlines. It’s to translate evidence into care that works for real patients.”
Great example of looking at the evidence from different angles for best practices.

When you’re stressing over everything and nothing you work on comes out the way you want it and you have a vague sense of doom and you’re hoping it’s either hormones and/or a migraine only because that means your symptoms are transient and you’ll turn the corner soon enough.

Rachel!”
Nora slammed into me with enough force to send me several steps back. She had thrown her arms upward to wrap them around my neck, practically hopping to get the leverage necessary. I caught her and angled her momentum just enough so we wouldn’t topple over.
“Whoa—okay, hi—”
She locked her arms, squeezing harder. Her face buried into my collarbone, even as her toes stretched to reach the ground. “Don’t—” her voice cracked. “Don’t you ever do that again.”
“Uh—right. No more… uh…”
I was going to say dying, but I knew it would land badly and, given the
statistics eventually become a lie.
“Um… we have a lot to talk about,” I wheezed, “but this exact position
isn't ergonomically ideal—”
“You were gone for three months, Rae. Three months!”
New chapter up! Nora and Rae have an, er... emotional reunion/poorly executed chiropractic session.

I like to image the characters getting all together (well except for a few) and just sitting back way in the future just going over each chapter like a “hey remember when we…” and everyone else just starts razzing each other about absurd everything was back then…

A bright ray of light shot across the dark.
“Raedine—!”
“Stand tall, Captain… and open your eyes.”
All I could do was comply.
A tall and skeletal, ghoul-like figure towered over me, his skin drawn
tight over his features, eyes sunken but burning with grim purpose.
Where’s my sword and shield?
I’m only wearing a simple robe! Wait… His weapon of choice is… cards?!
“Surrender, Captain!” he barked, slapping a card down on a tiny table between us. “I know you cannot beat the Empress of Moons!”
“I—What?”
His hollow eyes widened, then clouded. “That was a most impressive move, Raedine…” He set the rest of his cards down with trembling fingers. “To go such lengths never to lose… Too bad you’ll never be able to duplicate it.”
I dropped the Three of Stars that was in my right hand. “Ambrose?!”
New chapter! Rae makes her way back to her body, which is engaged in (a card) battle! 🃏
Just no one mention the hair...

The great serpent Olethros unraveled into vapor. The spiders around him burst into mist as well, their essences mingling in a maelstrom of spiraling shadow. Faster and tighter, it swirled, constricting in on itself until—
Whoomph!
He reformed.
Shadows collapsed to build a humanoid silhouette. Gold-tipped
horns of midnight curled from his temples even as soft lavender
hair poured down his sides like a waterfall. His dark mage robes
gleamed as they settled about his shoulders, and a crisp snap of
his whip-like tail announced that his dazzling, magical
transformation was complete.
Still too handsome… But I’ll let it pass this time.
New chapter up! Rae spends a bit too much time detailing Olethros's magical transformation.🤦♀️

“Clare Mercure! The director-of-many-hats!” President Abrams strode in, hands sweeping dramatically through the air. “Could you see to it that the conference rooms get—”
“Sir, you need to sign the requisition form A-4032 that I’ve sent to you multiple times before!”
“Oh, right, right!” He waved vaguely. “Can’t get the darn thing to print. Let’s go paperless. Get rid of all the—”
He stopped mid ramble, finally seeing me. “Rachel. Far be it from me to have any dress code here at CUP, but… I’m not sure that accessory you’re wearing is in good taste.”
I was so confused. “Accessory..?”
“Oh, maybe you don’t know! It’s an old metaphysical sigil,” he chirped. “Symbolic of Entropy, Doom, Unmaking… Really popular with the youths.” He waved his hand dismissively. “Back in my day, we stuck with simple ankhs and peace signs.”
Clare pressed her hand to her temple. “President Abrams,” she said
through a slow, steady exhale, “Rachel does not bear a sigil of Chaos.
She has a concentrated mass of demonic animus lodged in her
sternum as the direct result of unsafe workplace conditions.”
He blinked. “Ah. Well, that would explain all the… writhing it’s doing.”
New chapter up! Rae briefly meets with the President to express her thoughts about the company.

If a story’s conflict relies on a character getting tired enough to simply give in, you didn’t write a resolution. You wrote attrition. Don’t be surprised when it turns into rebellion.
