Could it be? A lore post? In this economy? Anyhow. The deadwalker is, for all intents and purposes, a cryptid to the people of the shining cities and to their mech pilot defenders and the mech pilots left behind in the deadscapes. It's the type of thing you tell stories about over a campfire, the … Continue reading The Deadwalker (Lamenting City)
Lamenting City
Lamenting City, Chapter 11: Deadwalker
Prev: Desires Another week, another chapter. Wanted to have this up on Friday but things didn't quite work out. So here it is. Also, just a heads up: I'm participating in Camp NaNoWriMo this July (writing a Spyro fanfiction because I can't let those childhood memories go). While I'm going to try to keep writing … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 11: Deadwalker
Lamenting City, Chapter 10: Desires
Prev: Mech Greetings, my fellow humans. It is I, your Storm Dragon overlord, with a new chapter! It's a short one, again, but I had a busy week and this one just defied my attempts at adding more scenes. Maybe it's the better for it. But yeah! Tenth chapter milestone! ...I have no idea how … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 10: Desires
Lamenting City, Chapter 9: Mech
Prev: Animals Aaaaaand the hiatus is over! Sorry for taking approximately three thousand years again. Hopefully I'll be posting content more regularly to this blog from now on. Anyhow, please enjoy this chapter caused me so much pain. I await the inevitability of me checking this again and realizing that, after hours of editing, I … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 9: Mech
Lamenting City, Chapter 8: Animals
Prev: Deadscape Another chapter that I actually split into two. This is also shorter than the last one, I think, because of that. Fortunately this means the next one will be easy(ish) to write. "It's been so long, I forgot what a fast worker you were," Axel's latest employer spoke with awe in her voice, … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 8: Animals
Lamenting City, Chapter 7: Deadscape
Prev: Pain *Circle of Life plays* *stands up like Rafiki, holding this chapter* *just freaking throws the chapter to the masses* Content warning for some disturbing imagery. Better safe than sorry. When the girl opened her eyes again, distorted screens flickered to life. The interface shimmered and crackled around the fractures in one of the … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 7: Deadscape
Lamenting City, Chapter 6: Pain
Prev: Monsters Well, I decided to continue posting the chapters after all. I've decided to make this novel into a web novel because even though it was originally (still is?) destined for Amazon CreateSpace and possibly IngramSpark, I am.... Eh, not sure if tired of writing this novel is the right train of thought so … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 6: Pain
Lamenting City, Chapter 5: Monsters
Prev: Water Once again, it has been three thousand years. But here's another chapter of the second draft of Lamenting City, and maybe the last one I post, unless I decide to... IDK, go up to Chapter 10 or just post the entire second draft and delete everything later when it comes to self-publish. Depends … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 5: Monsters
Lamenting City, Chapter 4: Water
Prev: Air After approximately three thousand years, here's the fourth chapter. Constructive criticism welcome. No sooner had Axel fallen into the dreamless sleep, she woke up to a headache that insisted she didn't get any sort of rest. Her body ached, and part of her left shoulder had gone numb from her lying on it … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 4: Water
Lamenting City, Chapter 3: Air
Prev: Name Before NaNoWriMo begins, I give you all the third chapter of Lamenting City. Remember, this is second draft stuff, so it's likely still rough around the edges. Constructive criticism welcome. This chapter in particular was a pain to write both times. It definitely needs more work. "Ah, so you're the one Lorelei told … Continue reading Lamenting City, Chapter 3: Air
