Serial Poll and Another Teaser
I’m enjoying the heck out of Civ 6. I’m still unsure of what to do for my next serial and if I should do it on Patreon. Much of my lack of decisiveness is due to lack of sleep (small kids) and being ~80,000 words into the next Domains Novel.
Speaking of which, here is a teaser for Bloodlust: War
“What’s that fog?” said one of the Legionnaires.
“Move, get out of the way,” bellowed a centurion.
“Its too fast!”
And then it was on them. The fog was now an ominous mustard colour, moving as if under its own power. The men around Vintia stopped moving convulsed, letting go of the Warbound. Vintia, still disoriented and with an arrow lodged in her head, felt her lungs burn as she inhaled. The gas. The Legionnaires. She needed to save them.
Channelling hurt. Vintia had drawn and held too much power for too long with the ice wall, reaching for more was like forcing an exhausted man to run. She managed enough for a gust of wind before the pain in her head drove her to her knees.
That cleared enough of the gas for her to see the Nosgoth Beastmasters riding their monstrous beasts thundering through the ravine in a mass, hurling right toward her. At their head was a smiling madman riding a wolf that could swallow her whole, nocking a familiar looking arrow into his bow.
“Fuck,” gasped one of the surviving Legionnaires, struggling to rise, blood dribbling from his mouth.
Willing herself to her feet and lifting her shield, Vintia really couldn’t disagree.
