Sitting out on the front porch, I have nothing to do but smoke my favorite poker pipe and wait for Naomi to get home. I won’t smoke around her, but I know she loves how this blend of tobacco smells. It smells like sweet vanilla. The more I smell like it, the better for her. It’ll also give her a fun clue that I’m here.
Even if I’ve only been gone for a month, I know she’s going to light up as soon as she smells the lingering scent in ...

“I,” Fenrir pauses to yawn, “hate you,” he tells Rao.
“Bro, what’d I do? I just immerse and say morning and you’re already hating on me.”
“You made me yawn. I hate when people make me yawn.”
Serra is the last one to try holding back a yawn, but she gives in which then ...

I remember when I used to lie in bed at night, shaking from adrenaline and fear, covered in sweat and filling a trash can next to my bed with vomit, and praying that I was delusional and that none of this world is real.
Now I just lie in bed, staring up at the ceiling, sweating because it’s fucking hot.

After being teased by Saya and judged by Cassiel, Fenrir is stuck transporting logs of wood from the riverbank to the makeshift lift that Tabitha has built on top of The Shoebill. He carries the logs over, places them on the lift, and then she pulls it up while he swims back for more logs. Meanwhile, Shogun flies to and from the boat with a log in his mouth each time, and even Oleander is helping ...

2018-09-14 22:26:14 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, just a quick update. I was up all night last night really sick and had to drug myself pretty heavily to finally get some sleep, and I only just woke up. I'm going to go ahead and post the free chapters for people and make the new $5 chapters available, but the new $10 chapters are going to be late tonight. I'll be working on them as soon as everything else is posted to get them done asap.
Sorry for the delay!
2018-09-14 19:40:53 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, finally, the group makes it back to The Shoebill with their first haul of logs.
But that’s just the very first haul. There is still plenty left for them to bring over that was left back in the forest, and there is more work to be done over the coming days.
But for now, they may relax, and relax they do.
“I’m so tired,” Fenrir groans.

The logs from the now-ruined third wagon have been loaded on top of the logs already filling the two remaining wagons. Due to the heavy load, they’ve redistributed the groups so that each wagon has equal strength behind pushing it, and they have to move slowly to make sure that the wagons don’t break down now from the added w...

While Cassiel does love her boyfriend, she doesn’t want to lose this race to him and summons whatever strength she has left to push the wagon with all of her force!
“That’s the spirit!” Tabitha tells her, taking one hand off of the handlebar to give Cassiel an encouraging smack on her back.
The wagon doesn’t slow down even when Tabitha...

She’s the only one who looks ready.
“Get set… go!” she shouts.
Tabitha, far more enthusiastically than the rest of the group, pushes on her handlebar with all of her might to push the wagon forward. Cassiel, not wanting to be left behind and get crushed under the wagon, pushes as well. Their combined strength is enough to push the wagon with a decent speed that only gets easier once the w...

2018-09-10 19:57:33 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the group has brought everything that Tabitha needs to the felled tree, the small engineer gets to work constructing new and improved tools for them to use.
The first axe is finished before long and gets put to immediate use.
While most axes would have a wooden shaft and a metal head, this one is different. It has a metal shaft and a wooden head, but the head itself is made out of a tree harder than most metals when used properly. 2018-09-07 21:50:47 +0000 UTC View Post
