The truth about what really happens and if Human souls or spirits reincarnate, is something I've been thinking about for a while. I intend to explore it in future books.

Are souls real in your stories?

Yes they are. The Fairy spirit returns to the Cycle after death, to be born again.
Humans have a one-way trip (or so they believe) from birth to death to afterlife reward or punishment.

THIS! I used to push myself through so many books I wasn't enjoying--no need. Be free! Read (or write) the thing you love!
Good morning! Life is too short to spend on stories you don't love. Don't be afraid to stop reading - or stop writing - a book if you're not enjoying it

Day 12:

Wandering in the unknown, souls await to be ferried off into an afterlife by either a unicorn of land or sea. Yet, another entity salivates at intercepting them.

Alternatively, those who dabbled in/products of Rituals will wander eternity without a guide.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders. Are souls real in your world? Does anything happen to them after a person dies? Or, whether or not they know the truth, do your characters have any beliefs about that? Does your world's religion preach anything about souls?

Knowledge, Practice, Range, Technique, & Ingenuity.

Simple, really.
#Febchantment Day 12

What does it take to be considered a "master" of your magic system?

Is it about the range of your techniques? The difficulty level? The amount of knowledge in your head? Your ability not to set yourself on fire?

Or perhaps there IS no "mastery"?

Mages in my world operate more on a military system than an academic one, so mages who are especially skilled and talented typically have a high rank and lead other mages/soldiers in battle.

In this context, it generally comes down to who is most effective in combat. 🧵

Cancer was the start of Jasmine's life falling apart, but as she lay dying, the only one at her side her ginger tabby, something uncanny occurred.

I recently started reworking The Unbreakable Bond.

Today I added 873 words, bringing the new total to 21,000.

My goal is to bring it from a novella to a novel.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders Day 12

Most Nixtralians believe the soul encompasses a person’s spiritual aspect. Upon death, a soul is guided to the Ring of Fate, a limbo-like plane between the mortal & spirit realms.

It’s there where a soul is judged to go to either Finyt or Nulyma.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders. Are souls real in your world? Does anything happen to them after a person dies? Or, whether or not they know the truth, do your characters have any beliefs about that? Does your world's religion preach anything about souls?
