Chapter dresses in benighted cloak, takes up a blunt-ended sword, and strides out into the rotting jungles.

Epub version of the chapter is also attached below!
Maisie, Maisie, Maisie - I don't even know what to say, for once! Maisie has so completely taken the narrative controls out of my hands that I am only guiding all this in the vaguest way possible. I am riding a wave, but the wave belongs to her. What can I say for certain, though? Well, we're still on track for this to be a really long arc - Maisie has gone in roughly the same macro-level directions that I hoped, though she's getting there via other routes than the ones I had in mind, so to speak.
I should probably let her say the rest herself! On with the show, dear readers! And I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Oh, but first, guess what? That's right, I have even more fanart from the discord server! Nothing directly related to Book Two this time, but some wonderful illustrations from back in Book One.
First up, we have this absolutely incredible rendition of Evelyn, from all the way back in the very first arc, by Carterwjessup (who also happens to be the artist who drew the front cover for my other serial, Necroepilogos!) Then we have 'Sheepdog' - a certain werewolf curled up on a certain bed which is not her own, (by Cera!) I love the plushies in that one! Then we have another picture by Cera, a non-canon interpretation of everybody's favourite moth-puppy: Tennytaur! Thank you all! I know I say this every time I link/repost fanart, but it's just incredible and deeply flattering to see!
