Chapter burrows through soil and rock, haunting warrens and racing moles, winding through the iron-grey forest roots.

An epub version of the chapter is also linked below, as always!
And we are back once more, dear readers! Once more into the wonderland of Maisie's mind (and let us pray that she never kicks us out. Unless ... ?) Ahem. Anyway! Things are getting spicier now, with new directions opening up. I think we're probably halfway through the arc? Though it's hard to tell, since arcs are structured very differently to in Book One - much longer, more like small novels, and we will be riding this one all the way to Maisie's conclusion. Though I hope Maisie herself doesn't, uh, 'conclude'? That would be rather bad for everyone involved. Especially Maisie.
And! Before you go off to enjoy this week's chapter (as I dearly hope you do), I have some art to share with you all, from over on the discord!
First up we have the second installment of the Katalepsis-themed tarot cards, (by XII), this one titled The Magician, full of pixel-art gore. Second we have this very amusing little piece of Heather reacting to one of her favourite things the whole world, (by Clericalism); please be aware that one is technically NSFW! Though you can't really see details. And then lastly we have this incredible illustration of one of the final moments of arc 24 back in Book One, simply titled 'Bedlam Boundary'; this one is incredible to me, it's amazing to see that moment brought to life. And thank you all! I know I say this every time I share art, but it's still flattering and incredible to me, to see my storytelling inspiring others. Thank you so much!
