"Ah… writing fantasy does feel like home…" Ah, and you are so good at it! 😎

Oh, this is a good one! They are doomed, of course, but I love the happy-for-now ending.

I can see why and how this story started running on its own legs. With the cold joy she takes in meting out execution, I couldn't help but wonder if this snippet might've been of the Bloodhound Queen. I think not, though. While she may have a cruel streak in her, Argente's Rose is far too human to be that wicked beast.

Yes, she had some dark vibes about her, but it can’t be the Bloodhound Queen geographically, because Northsanguis doesn’t have a border with Autumna. Yep, I have the map in my head, and yes, I’m not normal. It’s Hebeny, and the fortress is Moorland on the Northeast border with Autumna. This whole story might have occurred during the thousand years Autumna was ‘The Damned Land’, after the Death of the Lake. Yep, I’m definitely not normal.🤦‍♀️

I can’t wait to read your story! I just need a moment of peace…🙄

Even before I read your enthusiasm about this challenge, I felt it was most likely going to be a good one. The passage which melted the queen was especially well done. Great work, Kathrine Elaine.

The realm of Autumnia grows on me, their names hit the mark.

Would the foreverfold find this enough of a redemption to save a kingdom?
