Still alive?

Have you droped this story now?

Just one thing of something from a chapter (I think it was the bandits / customs agents).

Will there be another update soon?

"Laura has us all dancing like puppets, We are on one hand deeply concerned about the intricacy of the threat and then again in awe at the ingenuity of the maneuvers. At least Laura gives Us a small chance. Militarily, her troops are too small to pose a real threat, even if the mercenaries don't turn their banner every time the wind blows. But assassinating Us and Our Father is certainly within Laura's capabilities."

... oh boys & girls, that was yesterday an awesome awful or an awful awesome football match. not sure what is more accurate.

nevertheless, now it is against england and that matches are always some of the best. whoever wins.

writing is actual slow. cause my workload is slowly gaining up after lockdown is eased.

and just for fun:

finally back, I´ll continue writing on the next chapter. would say, I´m sorry to be late - but days off without seeing or hearing anybody was very relaxing. (ok... if you are accustomed to sleep in a waterbed it isnt.)

However.

Ok. Let me say. Spontaneous camping is fun. Unless you haven't considered that where you are there is no internet. But fun. Barbecue is great!

... by the way, typing on a tablet is a real pain in the long run. Trust me ... I am a dentist! (not)

... ah ... home sweet home ... but it is soooooo fucking hot

nope sir, there is no there is no increase in temperature. What you feel is an illusion. Trusted scientists (degree in education) have stated the perception of increased temperature is a learned illusion.

I think in two days, I´ll inform the trade guild and the mercenaries about the improved weapons from my production and that I wish good luck to any buyer of the inferior weapons.

steady as she goes, roughly about 4k words. friday seems feasable.

work on the next chapter goes slow but steady, posting this weekend is out of the windows. happens.

chapter 6 will see some bloodshet and gore. at least that´s what I intend to do.

There was, of course, the unpredictability of how the heroes would react. Even I didn't know what direction the 20 teenagers would eventually take. Sometimes it was just more entertaining to see the dice roll instead of manipulating the entire outcome of the game.

I love pitting two enemies against each other. Edward would quickly realize that it was I who was making this offer. At least Victoria and Klien were intelligent enough to do so, and I expected, indeed hoped, that the two of them would point it out to Edward. And then desperately agree, because soon everyone would be able to buy such a weapon.

Well then, the days of idle loafing always come to an end at some point.

Currently I'm working on the next chapter, plan says weekend.

.....

My life is great.

My life is hell.

I finally have coffee. In a certain sense.
