Maidens of the Fall, Arc 2, Lunacy, Chapter 6 (Patreon)

Chapter rides the storm-tossed thermals high, flying wide on wings of gilded light, soaking up a riverbed's worth of summer raindrops.

An epub version of the chapter is also attached, as always!

Phew! This chapter got a lot bigger and more complex than I originally planned. Which is a good thing, since Octavia is a wildly complicated woman, to put it lightly, and we've only just begun to scratch her surface. (Best not scratch her too hard, though. She might lose her temper.) Ahem. Anyway, yes! Chapter 7, the next chapter, is absolutely the last of arc 2, and then we're onto the next motion of the story. And we're still in this extended introduction! I am delighted with how Maidens of the Fall is shaping up, and I cannot thank you all enough, for all your support so far, and simply for being here and enjoying the story!

And! Merry Christmas! Whatever you celebrate, whatever you got up to, I hope you all had a lovely day, Once again, next week is the regular break week; Octavia and her new, uh, 'friends' will return on the 10th of January. So, for those of you who don't also read Necroepilogos, I'll see you in the new year!

And now, I hope you enjoy the chapter, dear readers!
