Mirage: Chapter Seven (Patreon)

Chapter Seven

I'm gonna stop apologizing every time I post a chapter of this instead of Incidence, because this isn't like a low-effort irrelevant side story like the way I've been treating it sounds. This is a full massive three-part series that actually does TIE IN to L&S, it just takes a bit to get there. I think I just haven't been selling it very well, especially as I hadn't posted any significant writing in like 8 years before I started again in late 2024, and absolutely no new work.

So here's me selling it! (very tiny spoilers but also redactions) This story has:

POVs from both oenclar and clarbach characters, which L&S didn't at all

therefore a lot more details on the entities (both of them) but from very different kinds of people

desert-set world that's NOT actively war-torn with whole new culture, language, magic system that has very vague ancient Egypt inspirations

spies, conspiracies, subterfuge, mysteries, betrayals

a slowly self-destructing ex-soldier-spy-turned-assassin-spy

[redacted] soldier who's also [redacted] and [redacted]

people who absolutely don't want to be around each other, forced to be around each other

friends-to-[redacted]

enemies-to-[redacted]

friends-to-enemies??

uh complex interpersonal relationships
