Chapter wanders vaulted halls, through forgotten glories of faded past, wreathed in dust and blanketed beneath snow, leaving solitary footprints on the stone.

As always, an epub version of the chapter is also attached!
And here we are, in the third arc! I shan't say anything much yet, of course; I'll let Octavia do the talking, and everything else. She's the one who got herself into this mess. Sort of.
As for the (planned) length of arc 3, I'm not sure yet! Originally it was going to be just 4 chapters, but after writing the second arc and this opening chapter here, I'm building in some longer expectations. Seven chapters? Maaaaybe eight? It all depends on ... well, not just Octavia. She's not the only actor pressing up against the walls of the world, after all.
Anyway! I hope you enjoy this, dear readers! I am having an absolute blast writing Maidens of the Fall, and we've only just begun!
Also! I have more fanart to share with you all, from over on the discord server! This week we have an illustration from a couple of chapters back, of Octavia struggling to ignore Grimgrave, (by sporktown heroine.) Then we have Live From The Moon/Octavia as a streamer, (by cubey.) I love all the little details in that one! And last but not least, an illustration of Scarlet Edge, (by Molten Constellation.) It's amazing to see so much fanart already, I'm really happy to see so many readers having fun with this! Thank you all!
