Chapter plants itself in the valley floor, growing deep and growing strong, spreading fungal forest up the verdant foothills.

Last chapter of arc 22! Hooray! This one went a bit longer than I expected, but not by too much; I think I've perhaps gotten a little better at keeping the arc length under control? Anyway! For those of you who don't regularly check out the Katalepsis fanart page, there's now a bunch of art of Taika under the arc 22 spoiler click-through. Go take a look if you're interested, it's all really great stuff!

Will we be seeing Taika again? Perhaps! It's not impossible. After all, Book Two isn't that far off now. Next week, it's onto arc 23, the final arc of Book One. And 23 is going to be a very long one indeed. But for now, on with the show!

Put a ring on her finger (Or the eldric equivalent) damnit! Make her Missus Seven Shades of Cephalopod.

Seven-Shades-of-Morell! Honestly, Heather is probably going in the right direction for that. being mature and treating the relationship seriously, at long last.

"like embracing a furnace one had left on for too long, in direct sunlight, in the desert" — implying there's a right amount of time for said furnace to be left on 😁

HY

Heather switching it on and then switching it off right away!

Typo sub-comment: discord never feels quite right for patreon chapters: • the generations’ worth of skin oil worked into the wood of the bannister — no typo, just omg • no taller than usual, a spite in the darkness — intended, or "a sprite", or "spite", unsure • “I’m not going cry,” I said. — to cry • wake up call — wake-up • and a pair of black-short — black shorts • an octopuses’ aquarium — octopus'

Oh! Thank you so much for typo spotting! I really appreciate it. Even though I proof read twice these days, a few still slip through!

jthrr

Happy to! There's something about proofreading your own writing; I do better checking text I didn't write myself. ... likely this is an actual good use for AI, tbh

HY

Yeah, proofreading one's own writing is always a problem. I actually use google doc's automatic grammar checking (though I don't use google docs for anything else) and it's pretty good at catching doubled words or weird typos, but it still misses quite a bit!
