Jamar Tostral stalked through the forest, for once not pulling in ambient mana as fast as her soul could bear. It wouldn't do to tip off her unsuspecting targets, who were mages and thus undoubtedly had mana sense, with such a...

The next chapter is very close to done, but not quite close enough to finish before I go to sleep tonight. Sorry for missing my predicted finish time on this one.

I'm sorry for the unplanned hiatus, and for the total lack of communication about it. Some of what has been happening was out of my control, but I absolutely should have posted to inform people, and that's 100% on me. I'm sorry, and I will try to post about such things more promptly, and without waiting for when I can finally also post a chapter.
What happened:
As I have posted about before, I have ADHD, and I am sensitive to the differences between manufacturers of Adderall. Well, Adderall from the specific manufacturer I need...
