AN: I plan to write a prologue with Xara in a sticky situation to hook people into the story a little better. I am playing with point of views and I changed from 3rd to 1st for this story. I know Xara comes off as stuck up in this one, don't worry she will be taken down a few pegs in chapter 4. This isn't a romance and I ...
2022-01-30 16:21:05 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve been having some problems lately when I write new chapters for Violet. When I started writing this, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, and even though I took the time to outline and define quite a few things, I missed an important thing. What is the point? I’ve tried to write in a point, but I can’t wrap my head ...
2022-01-21 18:36:29 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the boat arrived in town, they were unloaded and heading west out of the city. At every shop they stopped at along their journey out of town, they made sure to comment about their destination being Elvenlock. There was a bridge near the Y in the river, so traveling west made plenty of sense to those in town.

AN: Sorry for the delay. I had my COVID booster on Friday and it knocked me on my butt all of yesterday and most of today.

It took two days for the quartet to reach a clear path resembling a road. All of the villages in the area were located next to the sea, so moving goods via boat was the preferred me...

2022-01-15 00:12:22 +0000 UTC View Post“The perimeter alarm went off fifteen times last night,” Regina complained while Violet was trying to wake her for the day. Regina had never been a morning person, and losing sleep didn’t help.
“I’ll give you another hour to sleep, but you know Zane isn’t going to go easy on you for missing the morning workout,” &...
2022-01-12 02:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAN: I went through and made a few changes to chapter 56 as well as renaming it. Part two will have a bigger fight scene in it.

2022-01-06 16:58:13 +0000 UTC View PostA messenger bird was waiting for Regina when they woke up the following day. The message was written in code, but it contained no real secrets.

2021-12-29 22:52:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe quartet was back on the road and heading to the nearest river crossing along their route as soon as the sun began to rise the following day. They were all a little tired from the events of the previous day, so nobody was in a particularly talkative mood as they pulled away from the small lakeside town.
Over the next five days, th...
2021-12-29 02:25:02 +0000 UTC View PostViolet Reborn has fallen victim to Asian bots reposting on another website (East Tale). I think almost every story from Royal Road has been reposted there so I don't see them staying up for very long.
I just wanted to let you know, I am going to be only posting one chapter a week on Royal Road until this mess is clea...
2021-12-26 23:45:51 +0000 UTC View PostSomehow, Violet always managed to get assigned the final watch duty of the night. She had gotten in the habit of practicing the use of Create Food while she was on watch. Rio was always awake when she was on lookout duty and was a far better watch bird than she could be.
The first site wasn’t far from a well-...
2021-12-26 23:37:48 +0000 UTC View PostWhile the boys were in the front, Violet and Regina were in the back studying the map. “I hadn’t realized there were so many ancient sites scattered about,” Violet said.
“There are likely more in harder-to-reach places we have not discovered yet. As it is, sites two and seven are partially flooded.”

2021-12-24 19:51:50 +0000 UTC View PostViolet got up before the sun the next day. The excitement of the upcoming trip made it nearly impossible for her to sleep. She woke up several times worried that she would be late getting to the palace. They would meet their fourth team member at the royal stables.
Regina was picking on her by withholding information abou...

At the time, her mom had played it off as a note from her work, and Violet had let her get away with it. Something suspicious was happening with her mother, and she was going to get to the bottom of ...
2021-12-08 02:35:20 +0000 UTC View PostMy original plan was to have an interlude to catch us up on what has been happening with Jade and the Chromatic Dominion. Should I still write that or would an interlude at this point be too distracting?

2021-12-02 23:27:19 +0000 UTC View PostLooking back, Violet was shocked at how fast time went by for her in Kasmaya. It felt like she left the nest only yesterday and began to live with her parents in Lindow. They were not able to stay long in Lindow. When it was clear she was there for more than a visit, a very important-looking man showed up at their door to test ...
