Another wonderful chapter! That's definitely a tricky set of options this week. Repairing the transport ship is essential, but can probably wait until they've dealt with the threats on board first. And those mummies still need to be investigated, but I think the most valuable thing that will give them the edge in the battles ahead, is Taia's telepathic powers. They need to be utilised to their fullest potential. So I think it has to be 'Option 3'... 😎
Thank you for your vote! I had the sneaky suspicion that a lot of readers will pick option 3 this week :D Who needs mummies when they can have a sorceress?!
Unfortunately, I've had to stop reading stories for now as it takes up too much of my time and resources to produce them. That's one of the reasons why I stepped back and have resorted to just one podcast a week now.
I could just read the stories without the sound effects but they would be so dry if I did. I'm not a professional reader by any means. If anything changes, I'll let you know.
Gathered their might ‘gainst the Vaughn’s dark wave.
To his star-born lady, bold and bright,
He gave a belt to guard in night—
Wrought with power from ages old,
To shield her heart from curses cold.
Taia, her lord, the star-walker sworn,
And soldiers cast from duty torn,
Stood fast to face the shadowed tide
That waited in the hangar wide.
With shield ablaze in shimmering light,
He scattered glamours from the fight—
Daemons lured for Vaughn to slay,
Masked in illusions swept away.
Their foes grew blind, their senses marred,
As doubt and terror pressed them hard.
Warrior Niv laid legions low,
While Northhand’s beams struck down the foe.
Lesser beasts they cast to dust,
Saving the strongest—as they must.
For this would feed the kosomoi dread,
As by the Terran's word was said.
The mighty fiend, in iron snare,
Raged and howled a cursed prayer.
Yet still the scattered band had won—
And bore their prize to greet the sun.
To feed the star-walker, bleeding, worn—
That he might see another dawn.
Then turned the brave one's sharpened mind
To weapons cruel and spells refined.
Before his priestess, he laid them bare—
Armor and relics rich and rare—
In hope her hands with power might bless
These tools of war for dark god’s death.
That they might strike while hearts still live,
And crush the foes no gods forgive.
(Option 3.)
OOH Joseph this is lovely!!
Btw I just reconnected with mr Brushface, the one who made my maps.
Thank you for yet another amazing poem!
NUMBER 3! YAYYY
Thank you for voting. This is the winning option for tomorrow's new episode.
I vote for 3.
PS: This time I have been able to... in time.
Thank you for voting! Indeed, and I hope you are having fun reading this one :D
Vote for 3. Telepathy and training is a powerful combination.
Thank you for your vote!
Ooh, really great chapter! I’d say as long as there’s a well thought out back-up plan just in case, option three would be prudent.
Thank you for your vote!
I am going to have to go with option 2. I think it is the best all-around.
Thank you :)
Enthralling! It is nice to see Northstone transform from a lone-adventurer into a leader.
This is indeed one of the most remote places where your votes guided Northstone. Btw, for this chapter, what is your option of choice?
I vote option 3.
If all it takes is a single powerhouse to wipe out an army of baddies, then that's a worthwhile investment!
Thank you for your vote! All I can say is “Sorceresses and Mummies!”

Umm... I'll go with 1.
Alrighty! I hope you are having fun :D
You bet bro! ;-)
I like option one.
Thank you for your vote :) I hope you are enjoying the story so far.

Thank you :) Your votes make the story even better! Btw have you decided if you want to read it on your shubstack?

I hope one day, you can do it again.
I'm going to go for 3.
Thank you for your vote :)
