I love your dedication for writing and rewarding the readers regularly for their engagement. Although, not a necessary thing but again this is an amazing way to keep the audience alive and thriving.

All the best and may success be with you.

It's been a fun habit to get into! I've been tracking lots of data too so hopefully will be able to create a nice little case study out of it soon. Cheers :) ~ !PIZZA

It is indeed a fair share for the audience for their engagement, this is the difference between reading a story on Facebook and Hive Blockchain. Case Study, will wait to see that too.

Thank you! Openers are tough, glad it resonated with you :)

June was up late the next morning. Fog had prevented dawnlight from waking her, and she had wanted to sleep in anyway. June prepared her breakfast with leisure, and even stretched a bit before dressing.

She exited, and as soon as she shut the door her Bodyanchor spiked. She swiveled towards the point of intrusion—it came from above—and braced. It was a small hunk of mineral, speckled with orange, sailing towards her in an arc. Its energy left a fading shadow, and she traced this angle up and away… to the towering steelbarch, a fuzzy green blur in the morning mist.

count me in

thanks

Then the food hit his system and his stomach cramped and complained again, forcing him to wince. The pain reminded him that this wasn't a dream.

I'm among the winners again, thanks a lot

He nodded, and stole another glance at Atrocity. She hadn’t moved even a little bit. Frix became quite interested in what she might look like when she blinked. He watched.

Quote from Chapter 15: The Reunion

New sensations crawled in his gut and chest — different than hunger — and he busied himself with finding and munching on the apple. He couldn’t think about what to do or say, not under these stares, not with his stomach so empty, angry and tingling.

Chapter 15 already! I enjoyed the closing sentences this week.

Boyd made a rude noise and exited in a huff, shutting the door with a bang. Atrocity sat back down, and Frix felt his heart speed up. He placed his hand to his chest, where it prickled instead of stung.

"The tall one placed a hand on Mr. Frustrated’s shoulder and said, “Hello, young man. Are you called Frix? Frix of Bit?”
Congratulations to the winners! I love the story.

"It was the closest he’d ever come to a real live witch."

My favorite from last chapter:

He nodded, and stole another glance at Atrocity. She hadn’t moved even a little bit. Frix became quite interested in what she might look like when she blinked. He watched.

“Right. Six minutes. Hold on, and here.” The sentry dropped a waterskin and melted away. Frix struggled to his feet, took a swig, waited about thirty seconds, then bolted for the town. The water helped a little, but this was truly the last of what was in him. His sprint was loud and messy, and if there were more sentries, he was going to get caught. The one that had left him behind could probably hear it. Too late to think about that now.

He did. All at once. The apple fell out of his hand as the gravity of everything fell back into place.

This line is quite catchy in terms of referring to Newton's law of gravitation. If you turn this story into an RPG game, I think it would be like next Baldur's Gate. Best work bro.

I have a long term vision/aspiration of having the larger world be a an RPG setting. I actually ran a DnD Westmarches campaign using elements of Heirbrosse!

It is nice to know that you had already done some experimenting using your work. Well done and all the best.

Frix couldn't remember her name. “She’s…” he tried to mime something coming out of his eyes. “She’s blue!”

Thanks for these awesome giveaways and great story. Please count me in again.

Just finished steamy ch5 part 3.

Mossa scrambled up the cliff side and he heard them both scamper away. Frix sat on the beach for a while afterward. He listened to the gurgling swirl of the eddy, blinking away ghostly pink streaks and wondered what it would feel like to fly.

Bettine barked back a laugh, twisted around to look at the rest of the Falseparkers, then rounded back, shaking her head and grinning like a maniac. “We are well met, Madame witch. Well met indeed.”

Count me in! Ty 🙏

June decided not to spin up her little blue wisps, and smiled back. “I think Zoey-Lee here should lead on, while we get acquainted? I am very curious to learn more about Wood Ribbon South.”

Thank you for the giveaway!

“Cau—whoah.” She looked right at Frix. And for the first time in his life, he felt witchcraft itself pour all over him like a scratchy, sick cloud.

Love your the writing style, keep it up man! <3

“What are you gonna do?” he said instead.
“I'm going to go save my temple.”
And with that, she swept out of the room.

Am I too late???

Sorry, I forgot my favorite quote 😂

Atrocity rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, a charming young lad whose agenda included rendering, general destruction and forcible eviction.”

My line favorite is:

“It was even when I was awake,” explained Frix. “The bloodlight… or I don’t know what your people call it. Red streams, like a fountain… and…” he couldn’t find the voice to say ‘you.’ It was too… it didn’t seem like a thing she’d want to hear. It maybe wasn’t a thing he wanted himself to hear either. Mossa’s face flashed in his memory, and he felt hot with guilt.
