Sorry that I haven't been posting much but I was kinda focusing on finishing up some projects and editing...plus life was chaotic.

Chapter 0

Anton the advisor walked in and bowed before asking, “How is the youngest prince my queen?”  Kia responded, “He is well, you haven't asked his name yet.” Anton chided, “It's bad luck to share the name of the child before the naming ceremony, you should remember that. It's been in place for many generations… you wouldn't want to curse the young one to a horrible life now, would you?”  She rolled her eyes and said, “I know but surely it's okay for a few of the closest advisors to know. After all, technically he was named at birth.”  The advisor sighed, “You are the Queen, it is your decision, but it goes against tradition. I fear it would anger the gods.”  “And if I already told another?” She inquired. “Then I fear it would be too late to spare the boy from the many divine eyes,” he warned. She sighed, “Very well then, what's a few more hours anyway?”  Sulking at the fact he hadn't taken the bait. She would need to find a new advisor soon; this one had outlived its usefulness.

Snippet from book two chapter two

Jade meeting Morana for the first time

Snippet from chapter seven of book two (TPCP)

Nimue blinked and said, “I can not hear your thoughts.” She frowned before saying. “You must have spent some time in my father's ranks then, he tends to shroud those who have touched him and walked away.” The man said, “You're forgetting something darling, you're just as bad as your brother sometimes.” Shaking his head he said, “She the goddess of water and swords sorta—I'm her husband Davy Jones, nice ta meet ya.” He blanched as he heard the names and knew gods were standing before him, gods who he had prayed to as a child and they had only gone unanswered. The gods who had forsaken him to his mother! The gods who had allowed Maggie to die. He didn't trust them at all, the gods hadn't interfered for him, so why should he aid them with anything now? Nimue said, “I can remove the collar around your neck if you agree to take this.” That was the last straw for his temper. It felt as though he was boiling inside, his rage had steeped long enough in its brewing. He glared at the goddess and without much thought involved as he didn't care if he died for the blasphemy; he was not even scared of the pain that would surely come from yelling. He stated vehemently, “I will not help you with anything!! Why should I? I prayed the first several years of my life to any fucking god that would listen!! And what good did that do me? None.” He took a deep breath and continued “I care not for the gods who cared not for me, I don't care!” This was the first time he had snapped in years and if it hadn't been at a goddess he may have been proud of himself.

Tagging my tag list plus a few others to share some of their writing.

First: I would like to thank everyone who had been tagging me recently. I have had a persistent cold for the last two weeks and I'm finally feeling up to catching up somewhat.

All are clips from the zero draft of TPCP the second book to TPCG series and are subject to change

Out of context line: Chapter 22: Galen POV

When they got to the deck Daimhín and Oisìn were waiting like the misbehaving vultures that they were.

First line: Chapter 0.5

His eyes lingered as the younger man set the tray down just outside of their reach and scooted it with his foot.

Last line (from that chapter) : Chapter 0.5

He released it—half surprised when the man continued to run with them.

7 sentence: Chapter 16: Jade's POV

He was sitting on the deck in silence with Oisìn and Silent Jack who had insisted he see the sunlight for a while. His eyes felt cooked within a few minutes; he hadn't had a lot of sun exposure over the years. He wondered if it was this ungodly bright to everyone else and why they loved it if it was. He didn't see why anyone would like a nearly blinding light that reflected off of metal the way that it did. He did enjoy the feeling of heat soaking into his bones that was not from a blanket though. It felt almost like a warm hug. It almost felt safe.

Writing share: Chapter 11: Jade's pov

The whole setup screamed that they had power and were not afraid to use it. If he had not seen the spirit queen Castle on one occasion, he would have thought the Merfolk would rival them. But he knew better than most that no one but perhaps the gods would rival the high fae Queen, Rhiannon, especially on her home territory. He was skeptical that the gods cared about any of them. He was certain there was a game of sorts afoot and they were just the unfortunate pawns.

Tag list + a few others below and thank y'all for the tags (sorry I didn't go through each one manually and lumped them together but I wasn't getting notifications again..and lost a few so I figured this would be better.)

Jade pov

Looking at the pirate at the door, he said the last thing he intended to say for a long while. “Y'all are make’n’ a mistake, This will only end badly for ya.”

Thank you for the tags @the-golden-comet HERE and @gioiaalbanoart HERE

Rules: Send me an ask with a word and I'll post a sentence or paragraph from one of my WIPs that contains that word!

If you manage to stump me, I'll write the word into a sentence/paragraph and share it in the ask.

This looks fun I'll be pulling the lines out of TPCP (the pirate's cursed prince book two of the pirate's cursed god series.)

Anyone can send an ask my inbox is open and gently tagging my tag list

thank you for the tag @the-golden-comet and @tragedycoded

Snippet from draft 0/1 of book two the pirate's cursed prince

Salmon.

It was the first word I thought of, don’t ask why.

Thank you for the ask @paeliae-occasionally.

It was actually added to the chapter I had been working on just before posting the game so I find that funny. (Technically still on that chapter lol)
