Yes! I did it!! :'D
Cure will be focusing on themes of trauma, healing, fear and love, and it will be a much shorter, much more fast paced story than Curse. I got a goal and a road to reach it all paved out. So let's get started!!
This story is inspired by my personal healing from depression and anxiety, as Curse took inspiration from my descent and general experiences with those issues. I hope it will resonate just as well! <3
Sending you all love on this Valentines day. Remember to love yourself as you love others!

Oh NO This has Much potential for angst and I'm very worried for Eagle and Shadow right now. Otoh “They tried to take my eyes. But I wouldn’t let them, and neither would the mountain.” is even more powerful and ominous in context. So es this is a great prologue!

Thank you, Saph!! <3 Yes, the angst is going to be juicy. And so is the tensions between the clans. I got some really amazing scenes planned out that I can't wait to write!!

Chapter 1: Teaser A skittish cloud of ravens fluttered up from the tree line across the border between the two clans, and a pair of warriors came sprinting out of the undergrowth, trailing streams of snow and water. Tempestfall’s shoulders tensed, his eyes widening. “They’re running?” “Wasn’t mom supposed to send up a signal once they found the patrol?” Maskcloud asked, standing up just a bit straighter so she could get a better look at the two warriors sprinting down the hillside. Snow crunched behind them, and all the MountainClan cats camping out at the bottom of the snowy mountain hill turned to gaze upon a single smoky grey she-cat. “Everyone stay where you are,” Darkstar ordered them, her hunter’s moon eyes assessing the situation within heartbeats. “They know what they’re doing.” And as if she had been directing the warriors herself, Maskcloud turned and watched in awe as the two split off from each other, using the snow drifts and dead brush to hide their forms as a small PineClan patrol came racing after them over the hilltop. Within mere moments, the patrol halted as they realized they had lost their targets, only for their roles to be switched as Maskcloud’s mother, Shadowface, and MountainClan’s deputy, Eaglefrost, closed in behind them without being detected. “ Now,” Darkstar growled, giving the signal for the ambush to commence.

Hey all! I have finally gotten my other laptop online (my old one) so I was able to transfer some documents, including the one I used to plan out this novel. I went ahead and posted the allegiances for this story. You may notice one notable character missing and another with the name TOP SECRET. These will be revealed once they appear in the story. (:
As for health updates: My back is in constant pain. But I'm learning to manage, and I'm starting up exercises that will strengthen my core and help prevent my back from sustaining further injury. For those of you out of the loop, I have a herniated disc in my lower spine and a pars fracture (the bone that supports the spine is not connected to it). It's been very uncomfortable so I admit a lot of my time has been spent playing games, going out, or reading/watching shows to try to help distract me.
I picked up chapter one tonight and worked on it some. My inspiration is there, it's just a 'mind over matter' issue right now. I'm constantly needing to switch between sitting, standing and laying down. Sleeping has been a real challenge.
Anyways, enough about me, I hope you all are doing well! Again, I'm much more responsive on Discord, so if you have joined the server I made, feel free to shout at me anytime. (:

Hello. I wished to introduce my friends Lark and <Raintalon>. They were wondering if any of you had book recommendations. I would like to toss out Wings of Fire. Just saying.

Welcome, welcome Lark & <Raintalon>! I've never read that series, but if you like dragons, might I suggest the Last Dragon Chronicles series by Chris d'Lacey? And if you want an adult book that's similar to Game of Thrones but more dragons, check out The Memory of Flames series by Stephen Deas. I've read his trilogy that starts with "The Adamantine Palace". It left quite an impression on me! :'D

The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne Mccaffry is one of my all time favs.

Its... difficult to stay motivated when it comes to uni work at the moment. All my classes are online which means my only enemy is procrastination, but I’ve never been very good at fighting that battle. Miss chatting to you, too! Hopefully I’m going to be more active on here - I’m actually working on a story to post soon!
