Hi Lovelies,

Can you believe it, Chapter Seven after a full year. I am just so grateful! Hopefully, Chapter Seven has a reasonable amount of content, and I can continue adding more and more as the story progresses! I know a few people will have questions about Chapter Eight, and I do have a complete outline written out, and I need to transform that into actual pages for writing. I also mentioned and am currently in the process of writing NBD, which has been so long since I've picked that story up, but I feel in a relatively good place to start again with that. My thoughts on Chapter Seven are at the bottom of the page. 

I also have a full list of what has been added, changed, updated, etc.

A story of adventure, war, brotherhood, friendship and the search for one’s true self, but above all, a story of love.

SYNOPSIS

It is the obligation and the design of God for the Royal Family to have three children for every succession.

The Beacon, the Protector, and the Conciliator.

Your older sister, your little brother, and you have to fulfill those roles.

Your life, your family, and your position on the throne have been stolen.

Forced to make a pact with the nomads you were taught to keep your distance from, you’ll have to lead, protect, and advise your siblings in this uncertain new journey.

Will you reclaim your family’s birthright, or will you carve a new destiny of your own?

✦ Rekindle old friendships, forge new ones, find love and build unbreakable bonds with your new companions.

✦ Choose your allies.

✦ Choose your God.

✦ Will you become The Protector, The Conciliator, The Beacon or something else? 

✦ Find who you are.

MAIN CHARACTERS

The People of Iberryn

Joanna Ballester

Your older sister.

A sickly and very smart girl who has never taken a step outside the castle.

She loves good adventure stories, has a vast hunger to discover the world and learn about it, and a horrible fear that she may never be able to satisfy those longings.

Marcus Ballester

Your little brother.

Marcus is a boy who can’t stay still for a second, always running everywhere and wanting to duel anyone who has a sword.

His naivety, high energy, and carefree nature both charm and annoy those around him at the same time.

He dreams of one day becoming the greatest Protector the world has ever known.

Petra Casares - RO

Joanna's personal guard.

Raised to be perfect, strong, fast, clever, and keen.

Petra possesses a deep sense of honor, guided by solemn vows and values that have carried her to where she stands today, as the first woman to become a Silver Knight.

Although a rigid mind and a narrow life may not let her see that there is more to life than duty.

Athan Heras - RO

Stablemaster of the Royal House, as his father and grandfather were before him.

He has devoted his entire life to the breeding and training of horses, a passion that runs through his veins and matches well with his stubborn and self-demanding nature.

He also happens to be your childhood best friend, someone you haven’t seen since leaving home.

Among the Nomads 

Loryen - RO

Most people are fooled by her petite figure and sweet personality, but her skill in hunting and her incredible resourcefulness make her one of the most valuable members of her tribe.

Loryen needs no God to tell her how good she is, as no one has ever beaten her precision with the bow.

Egan - RO

Egan is the only son of the tribe’s leader.

He has an exceptional gift, a blessing and a curse to him in equal measure. Always on the edge of either making him irreplaceable or destroying him.

His warm smile and cheerful attitude distract everyone from that hidden truth.

Harun - RO

Harun is a proud and agile fighter with great determination, who would die before bowing to anyone.

Fiercely protective of his own, he trusts no one outside his circle, a trait that does not always benefit his people.

When his tribe was destroyed by the forces of your house he was taken under the protection of Egan’s and Loryen’s tribe.

The loss left him with a deep and permanent mark that will never heal.

Content Warning

Fantasy violence, blood, death, themes of war, trauma, and suggestive themes.

ALRIGHT I made the end of the month :)

Without further ado, I present:

THE HUNTED

This demo includes the prologue and chapter one, in which you rapidly become very alone, and get saved by a rather handsome healer.

Right, so, if you saw the post I had pinned (the "I'm autistic and I'm exhausted" one), you know why I stepped back in the first place. This is the follow-up to that.

While the game was down, I put together some potential edits, things I could change that might, theoretically, make the accusations stop. And instead of just quietly deciding for you, I put it to a vote, because it felt wrong to change things about a game you all actually play based only on my gut feeling.

208 votes came in. 23% wanted the edits. The other 77% didn't.

So I'm not making them. Genuinely, thank you for that, it would've been very easy for me to talk myself into changes I didn't want either, just to make the noise stop, and you told me not to bother. That helped more than I think most of you realise.

What I have done is add an AI disclaimer to the game, you cannot miss it because it'll pop-up when you load the game, where-ever you're at. It says the same thing I've said in every ask about this: I don't use generative AI, at any stage, for any part of this, and that was never going to change. The disclaimer isn't new information, it's just something I can point to now instead of having the same conversation in my inbox every week for the next hundred chapters.

The game's relisted. Same game it always was.

I'm not going to pretend the accusations won't happen again, because per the pinned post, this was never really about the game, it's an autism thing, and it'll keep coming up regardless of what I do. But I'd rather keep writing and deal with it as it comes than keep the game down waiting for a fix that doesn't exist.
