Why I was away for so long.

Hi, it has been a while, sorry for being gone for so long without saying anything. The reason for this, well there are many reasons but the biggest one was that I didn't feel like writing. Or rather I couldn't bring myself to write. I do not know exactly the reason for this but it might be because I know how the books is going to end so it wasn't exciting to write it anymore, it wasn't about exploring the world and building it as I try to bring the characters alive as best as I can. It was more like a chore where all I could think about is how badly I am doing it. It wasn't fun like it was in the beginning. Of course I could have just skipped writing the Melissa´s archway and written chapters for the other books but I knew that it wouldn't solve the problem and it would eventually happen with the other ones as well. So I took my time trying to fix it, and I really want to say that I did but I cant. I want to say that it wont happen again and I will ke...

Leaving cascana

17. Leaving cascana I run to Marie who took a serious hit in the fight, she is on the ground coughing up blood. I start to heal her and hear someone running toward me with great speed. Martin runs to her and takes her hand. “Are you, all right?” he asks and looks at her with tears on his eyes.  I keep healing her as she looks at him and smiles gently with a bloodied mouth. They stay like that the whole time I heal her and when Marie stands up I know she is feeling better, wounds that are on the inside are hard to know when they are healed so I just need to keep healing until they show signs of getting better. “Thank you, Melissa.” Marie says with a smile. “No problem, I am just glad you are all right.” “There can still be more of them and there might be survivors so let’s move out.” The grand mage says while starting to walk toward the town. We walk around the town carefully checking every house on the way, the corpses of the feline race can b...

Giant snake problem

4.     Giant snake problem. “It is probably better if I handle this one.” I glance at Sarah and see she is frozen in place, she didn’t even hear what I said. Can’t say I blame her, her instincts are telling her that no matter what she does she can’t escape that snake. I have felt the same fear she is feeling now twice; first time was when I was about to be eaten by a pack of anti-wolves and second when I disobeyed my father and got exiled.  Two of my worst memories in life and they both happened on the same day. The sound of the snake made me come to my senses, it is close now, so I prepare my sword. I step away from Sarah, so the snake won’t hit her or if it targets her then I will just jump in and save her, but I doubt it will go for the one that is not a threat. The snake comes my way and when it is within striking distance I jump to the side and stab my sword into the snake. It tries to pull away to the other side, but I jump over it and ...

long post about somethings, mostly the change of release date of the chapters.

Hi again, sorry it was a day late from the last day I said the chapter might come. I have come to a realization that my release day is not optimal for me. Writing a single chapter requires some time and effort for me and as the release date has been Sunday and as it did work well in the summer it does not work well now that the school has started. Every project has a deadline at Sunday and even though I knew that I thought it would be all right if I just did the earlier. I did not take my personality into consideration, I am a lazy person that needs motivation to do anything. That is the main reason why I have a release date on my chapters, so I feel pressured to write the chapters. I mean I love to write but starting feels so bad every single time, it probably is my insecurity and shame and other things that make it so difficult but when I start writing and get into the story I really enjoy it. But I do need a little push and the deadline gave that to me. Before the school star...

The town of Cascana

16. The town of Cascana. I sit next to the grand mage, she looks at me with a still expression. “Can we talk now?” I ask her while facing her way. “Yes, I will tell you the story about our healing magic and about the goddess who granted us this magic. This knowledge has been passed down generations from one grand mage to another in our village. In the last days of the hero of old he told his dragonnier daughter that one day there will be a great evil coming to this world and when that happens the goddess will grant a power to certain individuals, so they can fight that evil.” “So, the healing magic is the power the goddess has granted us, and the skeleton lord is the great evil?” “I cannot be sure but it would seem that way. In any case what we need to do won’t change whether he is or isn’t the great evil.”   She is right, what I need to do and what I want to do hasn’t changed. I want to help people and explore this wide and exciting world, if there ...

Donations.

Hey, when I made the donation button for the blog for the extra chapters I only thought about what would be a good amount per chapter so I wouldn't have to change it. The idea came from the fact that I personally do not like prices going up for things, so when I thought about the donation amount per chapter only scenario in my mind was what would happen if people donated me so much that i had to write an extra chapter every day. Thinking about it afterwards it seems so stupid but then it was the only thing i could think of so I thought of an amount that I would be okay for writing a chapter a day for ever. I had gotten used to living for 900 euros for a month so If I could have gotten that with writing I would have been happy enough. 500 for rent and 200 for food and 200 extra for something. The thing about this is that it is unrealistic and it is not fair for the readers. No one is going to donate when the goal is 30 euros for a single chapter. So what is going to happe...

Adventurers guild

3. Adventurers guild Knock-knock-knock. Who is knocking on my door at this hour? I rise from my bed and put some clothes on before opening the front door. The bunny girl was at the door and she was looking at me with an angry look. “You´re late. I had to come all the way here to get your lazy ass.” Late? Late for what? “Wait don’t tell me you forgot? We were supposed to go test out your new sword today.” “Oh yeah, I totally forgot. I guess I was too focused on the orphan situation. Let me grab my stuff and we can go then.” She sighs and comes inside, I go to my r oom and take my black sword and my hood. “All right I am ready.” “Wait, that’s it? You´re not going to take more equipment or weapons?” “There should be no problem like this.” “But you don’t even have armor or a shield.” “I won’t need one in this area.” Her reaction is normal as going to look for beasts without defensive equipment is usually suicide, but I am strong enough to no...

The Quintessence

As I started to write the next chapter for the Quintessence I felt like it has been ages since I have seen the orange background of the word document where I write it on. When I scrolled down to where I left off I saw some lines I had written for the new chapter and I couldn't remember writing them at all. As I pondered the reason for the few lines I quickly came up with a terrifying thought, what if I had accidentally skipped over a chapter for the Quintessence? I quickly opened my blogger page and went to the post page where I could see all of my posts in the order I posted them. I saw the Melissa´s Archway chapter followed by the Derelict boy chapter followed by the Melissa´s Archway chapter, this was all as it was supposed to be but then I saw another Derelict boy chapter and felt morbid. I had written a Derelict boy chapter instead of a Quintessence chapter and did not even realize it. I would like to apologize to everyone who was anticipating the Quintessence chapter...

Tomorrow

No chapter today, I happened to work out today and had to go to school and other stuff. Then I got bloodborne and ended up playing it. I stream it but I wont be talking or anything because I want to concentrate on the game. If you are interested come watch but it is nothing special. https://www.twitch.tv/talesupon By the way how are you liking the length of the chapters? The first thing I wrote was horribly too long and after that I have been trying to make it shorter and now I have gotten used to writing like 3-4 pages per chapter but if it is too short or too long if you tell me I can change the length of them. Sorry for the delay and thank you for reading.

Riding a dragon

15. Riding a dragon. I wake up in my room and get up from the bed, next to the door I see there is a brand-new armor on the ground. The black armor had light purple spots on it making it look awfully cute despite the menacing black color. I go to the armor that I assume is my new one and put it on, the metal feels durable and it is well made so it is nice to touch it, the weight feels good as it is not too heavy nor too light. I sense something from the armor and try to use some healing magic on it but there is no effect, I think I should ask the blacksmith about it but If I had to guess it would be that it is made with magical metal and it has a property that should help protect me better. I walk out of the room and Luna is waiting for me outside my room, despite what she said about taking what ever we need from the blacksmith it seems she doesn’t have any new equipment on her. “Others are already outside, I was going to wake you up soon if you wouldn’t have woke...
