NOTE: First of all, this chapter is LIT!
Or at least, I think so. I hope you love it!
This scene turned out so much better than I was even imagining originally!
Second of all, I apologize for the delay on this story. Usually, when I’m writing, I need to have a specific scene that I’m ‘looking forward to,’ in order to help me connect the dots of the plot (ideally, something that is 10 or more chapters away). Without that factor (a scene I am looking forward to, and aiming toward), I can really struggle to write something that is interesting and engaging, which is why I generally won’t try to ‘force it,’ since otherwise I’d be giving you a chapter that is completely uninteresting.
(As an example, the ‘meeting the Queen’ and ‘discovering she was the elf girl from the Dungeon’ was a big scene I was aiming for in Book 1.
In Book 2, it was ‘saving Blake’ and ‘saving princess Erika’ that was a big plot point and scene I was aiming for.
In Book 3, it was finally having ‘princess Erika receive the blessing of the Shackle’ and the scene with the big summoned Guardian, and of course Allister saving the day.
There have definitely been other big scenes that were important to the flow of the plot, such as meeting Wren or saving Lyla from the Blue Oni ‘Lesser Eldritch,’ but those are some of the biggest ones in each book.)
Well anyway, at this point in the story, I needed another ‘exciting scene’ that I was looking forward to, and I ‘think’ I finally have it in mind, so hopefully it will be easier to continue the story from here. (Plotting is like laying out stepping stones that serve as important milestones to the story, and the more of those stepping stones that are ‘exciting,’ the better.)
And that factor makes a big difference!
This very chapter is a hundred times better than it would have been if I’d written it a couple of weeks ago. And the reason why is because ‘looking forward to that scene’ in 10+ chapters is what sort of sparks my creativity into creating amazing chapters like this!
(Or at least, I hope you think it’s amazing, lol.)
Anyway, enjoy!

FEEDBACK: Thoughts?
1. Do you now understand the seriousness of Mel's situation? (with Grif)
Was it communicated clearly that literally every Oni in existence will know 'who she is' and will know that she 'belongs' to Grif's family? Was it communicated clearly that trying to oppose this would cause big issues, and that if the Queen got involved, it could even cause a 'war between kingdoms,' since the Oni don't truly view themselves as a part of Delanor kingdom? (If this was not clear, then let me know.)
2. Thoughts about the big reveals?
