Hey Shadow! How’s it going? It’s been a while since I’ve been on here but I decided to pop on and I saw this. This is so exciting and I can’t wait to see what happens next to the Curse characters!

I hope you all will forgive me for this long wait. It's been one thing after another. Currently I'm nursing a back injury lol It's really been a retched few months.
But I have something for you all!! A teaser!
Enjoy C: And happy new year!!
Two allied warriors stood on opposite sides of a battlefield, both facing a pair of allied enemies standing in their shadows.
One of these enemies was fear-fear could not be escaped on any battlefield, no matter the experience or air of calm a warrior took with them before the blood letting began-but this fear was not a crippling terror of their own mortality, but a terror toward the choice before them:
Kill the enemy called fear, or its ally; an inescapable love?
Love, as they had both discovered, was an excruciating enemy to kill.
And neither warrior wanted to survive such a sacrifice.

Mosspool - Ugh, I relate to that so much. I hope your mojo has come to stay for a good while!! ~Sapphire~ - Yes, you are! You are under that role on discord. c: Mᴏᴏɴ - - - AHA! Mystery solved! I just checked on discord and saw your name in purple too so, it's even more solved xD Starchaser - I just checked! The Curse of Death has been the most common result, but not by much. It's been pretty evenly spread. I think the rarest has been Guardians, and then I've only had...three? Two or three people who were hybrids (who fell under more than one curse)

Speaking of shirts, I actually had a funny idea to make shirts for the beta readers. The shirt would say: "I was already Cursed before I read Evergreen" or something like that lol
Even more funny is why I'm thinking of shirts when I haven't even FINISHED THE SECOND DRAFT. >.<'

I owe you guys another non-spoilery teaser. It's just some good ole shenanigans between our favorite duo. Wonder what they were up to before this? o.o' . . . Eaglefrost stumbled into the old rogue’s camp, starving, cold, and shaking like a newborn kitten.
It was the exact same condition he had been in when he first entered this giant cavern beneath the Great Mountain. Back then, he was surrounded by enemies.
But now, only a few moons later, he was among his budding clan, rising from the ashes of the rogue’s reign of terror.
So why did he still feel his heart constrict and race when the grey and black stone walls enveloped him? His enemies were gone. These walls were no longer his prison.
“Hey...none of that. Only one of us gets to...collapse at the entrance.”
The exhausted, hoarse voice that spoke behind him came closer to echo in his ear and bounce off the cavernous walls. He rolled his head to the side, a pair of very dim, but very amused green and yellow irises filling his field of view.
Eaglefrost grunted in response, slowly lowering himself to the cave floor, closing his eyes. “Too late. Go fetch a few of the apprentices. I need to be dragged to my nest.”
“Ha,” she laughed, sitting-more like flopping-on the stone, catching her breath. “I’m surprised Maskpaw, Coldpaw and Tempestpaw haven’t come running yet.”
The echoing of pattering paws from deep within the main cave made Eaglefrost grin through his shivering. “I’m afraid you’ve summoned your brood. Now they will be mine to command.”
She snorted, somehow managing to gather the strength to shove his shoulder with her paw which seemed to flop uselessly beside her. “Have fun,” she amended, shutting her unlit eyes and laying back onto her side, breathing in deep.

With a teaser comes an update: I was not expecting to have this back injury when I set out to start this story. It really sucks that you guys have been waiting for a few weeks now. But, with this last appointment I had, it's been made clear that more steps need to be taken. I am currently waiting for an approval for an MRI. This way my doctor can get a better picture of what exactly is hurting me. So far he has believed I have stretched/sprained a tendon/ligament in my lower back, along with irritating a spinal disc.
But, given that it's been a month already with no improvement, he no longer thinks my injury falls into the "minor" category. At best, I got another 6-8 weeks for the tendon/ligament alone to heal fully. For my spine? No idea.
This is why I've barely been writing the last few weeks. The simple act of sitting hurts. Reclining is better, but can still hurt me, especially after work days. Standing eventually makes it throb. Everything just sucks. This morning I needed help to get dressed for work. >.<'
Yes, I'm still working part time while this is all going on. On my feet for 6 hours straight. Thankfully I've had a day off day on kind of schedule, but my back's recovery has been slowed considerably because of it, but I refuse to stop working unless I really absolutely have to. ( Basically until my doctor orders me to. )
At least I'm getting great hands on experience for Shadowface's back pain lmao Good writing material!
I hope you all understand, and I hope you will accept my sincere apology. I was so excited to dive into this head first, but the pain has been a motivation killer.
I will keep you all updated on the situation! <3 Love you all so much.

Thank you, Mint. <3 <3 Still waiting on confirmation for the MRI, but I've been able to write some more on my days off. It's a relief, because I am REALLY itching to write.

I know the feeling of itching to write. Apparently I'm taking a Creative Writing course with one of the toughest professors at my school. So it's going to be interesting to see how I stand. @.@

You can do it, Mint!
Thank you, Saph!! <3 My back is definitely going to take some time to be back at 100%, but I feel like I'm making small improvements. (:

:'D
Honestly writing Eaglefrost as the main character is a bit harder of a challenge than I anticipated. I don't really share much in common with him, especially when it comes to how his outer expressions don't usually match his inner emotions. He's much more calm and collected and logical. Shadowface was easy because she was just passionate chaos. xD
And this prologue is in 3rd person which is like WHYYYYYYYYYYYY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF

OH AND SOME GOOD NEWS I CAN FINALLY SHARE; I've put in my two weeks for my job and will be starting up online college classes in march!! This program has a bachelors in Creative writing Fiction, so I literally am going to get my dream degree while still being able to take care of myself at home.
Also, for those of you not in my beta reader discord, I've made some major plot breakthroughs with Curse's original novel: Evergreen, and I am more confident than ever that I'm going to have a finished draft this year to send off!!
AND IN OTHER NEWS REGARDING MY BACK: I got my results back, but I won't know what it all means until I talk with my doctor Wednesday. The MRI showed I have two different problem areas: I have spondylosis (which apparently is common in people my age and in children) which could mean I have a pars fracture ( 'pars' is a short term for the part of the spine that acts as a stabilizer and support for the rest of the spine ) or it could have been there all along and be a defect. ( I think the fracture is more likely because I've never had back problems. ) And then there is something protruding into the fat of my lower right side ( I don't remember the medical vocabulary they used in the report ) that could be infringing on a nerve. More flesh related than bone I think. So fun stuff! I'll post more after my appointment Wednesday. (:

Thanks, Bright!! <3 That means a lot to me. And hey, if you need to talk or vent I'm here. I've been on that same boat taking classes and just feeling overwhelmed and lost for inspiration/motivation. Make sure your taking time for self care ( by self care I mean eating well, getting outside even if to sit on a bench, read a book, do something relaxing, ect. ) I didn't do enough of those things myself and I'm still trying to do them today. It's something we all should do! And if there's something you want to talk about personally my dm's are open to you too.
I hope I hear good news. I don't want to tell my boss my injury is worse than I thought. xD

Yipes. I am running all over the place. Trying to get back into the swing of school is crazy, y'all. Anyway! I'm so glad to hear about the breakthrough and I wish you well in all your back related endeavors. <3 Otherwise I am here and willing to listen whenever I pop in! Which I will do my best to do so daily, though I've been bouncing all around as to where I am. Tuesday is a long day, I wont lie. I've been having fun to day at least! I have a good professor on this day.

Eaglefrost closed his eyes, focusing on that new and strange sensation flickering inside his chest, like an ember of light, or a struggling flame. Like a second heartbeat that wasn’t in tune with his own. Prologue Part Two is dropping here shortly! mintedstar/fur🦇 ~Sapphire~ Dingoleap Mᴏᴏɴ - - Mosspool Starchaser Katanaheart
