luciusstorm Oh, my! I can't wait for the next chapter. Now I'm seeing the connection between Lucius of the Luscious Hair and the Silveroaks. Also, were those dark elves that helped make the weapons? Am I reading that right?

arieltriffic , yeah, I felt the same way writing it.  Yes, Lucius has a long and complicated relationship with the Silveroak family. The relationship perils of immortality. Yes, you are reading that correctly. The dark elves forged weapons for them. Spoiler for Raven's Apprentice, if you haven't read that one yet...
The svartalves are what the witches call the Sixam aliens.

MonaSolstraale, ellupelluellu, thank you. Some random thoughts of my own...
One of the things I wanted to do in this chapter was fit the Mother into my Wyrd'verse. An issue that I had with Strangerville and Get to Work was "getting Sci Fi in my Fantasy story" and for a long time I didn't pick those packs up. I only did when I found a way for me to make them fit in my head. From Lucius's point of view, the Mother is an eldritch horror from another Realm. The Army sees her as an alien being from another world. Neither is strictly right or wrong, just different perspectives.

I'm loving this! 😃
I can also appreciate the headaches involved in setting up those flashbacks. 😁

blueseawaves, danirose, I'm glad you're enjoying it. The Mother is an interesting character. I had fun writing her. I like flashbacks. There's nothing quite like spinning up an entirely new save in order to get a handful of shots. At least this time I only had to build one big household and didn't need to worry about building any lots. I've done some that were a lot more work to pull off (cough Ice and Secrets cough). I love the characters I made for this one... and I didn't even need CC.

Oh my goodness - the DnD reference was hilarious. Molly's self-sacrifice will always be remembered. I do not think I would willingly give up my mind to a plant monster. |

Once again a surprising twist to the story. A volunteer guinea pig. I didn't see that coming. I'm really excited to see how you twist the next chapter 😮😉
