Cover of The Art of Myth-Direction by M. L. Tilford

Prologue

“And lo, they gathered at the appointed hour, bearing torches, dread, and absolutely no sense of self preservation.”
— Summoning for Fun and Profit, Sixth Edition

Amid the shadows of a moonless night, four hooded figures converged atop a jagged, windswept mountaintop, fueled by the kind of optimism that only denial and selective memory could provide. The cold was so biting it felt downright vindictive, as if the weather held a grudge against anyone foolish enough to venture this high. The tallest among them carried a tattered and charred tome bound in leather of dubious origin (certainly not human . . . probably). He cleared his throat with the gravitas of someone who hadn’t just tripped over a tree root on the way in.
“Thanks for coming out tonight,” the Grand Harbinger of Doom began, his voice confident, like he had practiced talking in a mirror far too many times. “I hope everyone’s ready for some good old-fashioned summoning . . . and by ‘good,’ I mean better than last time.”

Prologue

14th of Vinatman, 1652 Age of Enlightenment

As the winter winds blew across the countryside–through snow-covered trees and white tipped hills–a lone horse drawn coach strolled down the frigid highway outside the holy city. Decorated with gold-plated lattice over a body of green oak wood, the elegant vehicle rode in luxury: extravagant silken cushion and pillows as well as warm blankets assured that its passengers would ride comfortably no matter the distance.
At the helm of the coach, steering its four large Singardian draughts, was the young Corporal Taram Greybram, an Elven man in his early forties with dark violet skin, hazy gray eyes, and a think black moustache. He wore the thick green and maroon woolen coat of Singard’s most elite crownsguard as well as a pair of thick leather gloves and riding boots. Adorned on his left shoulder was a golden epaulette and a single golden tassel denoting his rank. Laying on the bench at his side was a master-crafted musket adorned with a silver-dusted bayonet, and on his hip was strapped a Singardian falchion.
The passengers of such a luxurious trip were three Galdic Maidens of the Lionbrand Temple. Liza Valen, the Maiden Superior, was just under ninety years old with long shimmering silver hair she’d tied into a braid which draped over her shoulder, and dark, emerald eyes. Though older than even the oldest human, Liza still retained a youthful spirit and beauty.
Sister Magda Mosvand was second to Liza in both age and experience; she had long, curly black hair that she’d often kept tied up into a tight bun. The third was Sister Claire Siér, the newest maiden to join their temple’s conclave, only being with them for a little over a year, who wore a dainty, youthful smile and had long pale-blonde hair that draped down her back.

Honestly, this is probably a scene that's either going to be moved to a later part in the story, because as I was writing it, I realized, "There is no way this information would or should be out yet." But, I still like the scene.

She couldn’t believe what the gazette had written. Such a headline would cause mass panic if true; they’d never publish such an obvious falsehood, no matter how desperate they were to outsell their competitors. This story had to have some inkling of truth to it.
Her ink-stained fingertips traced the words as her eyes darted across the page; she read about the report given by a local watchman that he and his partner had found a woman fleeing in distress who’d claimed to see an orc. The two watchmen then stumbled upon a hooded figure they believed to be the orc; one went back to report the incident and get further assistance, while the other stayed to keep an eye on things. Unfortunately, when the second watchman didn’t return, the first lead a small number of officers back to the scene where they found the second near dead in the streets, his uniformed scorched, and his body severely burned.

It's a long one, but it's one of my favorite scenes 😊

It cocked its head as cats are known to do and pawed up at me as if wanting to play. I backed away quickly, more confused than scared—and don’t give me that look, boy; I wasn’t—but before I could do anything else, I heard the lady Josephine whistle back near the cottage. The kitten immediately lost interest with me and began sauntering towards the witch’s voice.
When I followed the small spectral creature back to the cottage, I saw the lady Josephine holding another kitten—speckled with black, orange, and white fur—in her arms, scratching it behind its ears. What’s more, there were five more ghost kittens all playing with one another in the shade of the sargadis tree. The little orange kit that had found me was making its way back to the others, and as it approached, began to slow itself and prowl around, waiting to strike.

“No can do, mademoiselle,” said the man. “Zere are rules in place. If you’d like, you can come back tomorrow! We will be here all week! Bring your friends and children zen, and zere will be no problem!”
Asta couldn’t just leave. She wanted—needed—to see what was inside. The music seemingly grew louder and louder, and she felt something within her start to swell alongside the music.
She felt a bile taste on her tongue as she spoke, “oh, plEAsE lET mE In.”

It's been a while! I've taken a break after one of the most stressful stretches of time for me, but now I feel comfortable enough to write again!

His eyes met hers, and for a moment, she thought Pottran had developed that ability to seemingly communicate without words. As he peered down at her through his thin-rimmed spectacles, she was certain she could hear him say: “Don’t you worry, jackielass; I’ve got me a plan.”
Pottran turned his attention to the men and said, “Think on it, and if you change your minds, we’ll be departed early sunrise tomorrow mornin’. If we don’t sees ya, we’ll have our answer.” He finished off his pair of drinks and stood without waiting for a response, leaving behind the four coins.

I've been actively trying to stop engaging with ragebait (even just reading it), and for the most part I've been doing well, but I just went down a whole rabbit hole of BS and my mood has been immediately soured to the point I can't even read or write.

Today, I begin the final installment of His Dark Materials: The Amber Spyglass. I began this journey at the tail end of last year, and after a small break, the time to end it has come.

And I couldn't be more excited.

For years, I've been wanting to make some form of educational content about writing/reading/literature, because education was what I was going to school for, but I always end up bailing out. I look at the internet landscape and just ask, "What's the point?" and I get sad.

I haven't been as active on here because life's been kicking my butt, however I've been writing off and on and I finally finished chapter 2 of my sequel novel!

My chapters are pretty long, so this is a big deal for me :)

Here's my writer's BINGO card!
The blue question is because there's a scene that takes place AFTER the steamy scene, but is still *kinda* steamy.
The green question is because there's a tentative betrayal (i.e. I haven't actually gotten to that point in the outline yet, but I'll probably add one)

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
