We have finally reached the end of season 2 🎉🎉
With 60 percent of the votes, our story continues on the second path.
Rena and her companions have reached their goal and now they just need to find a way out of the monastery safely, but how? Everything seems to be devolving into chaos.

I'm sorry I've been radio silent for quite a while now, so here's a bit of an update on what I've been working on.
As you may know, when season 1 finished, I released it as a book. That book has now been translated to German (it's called Ein glühender Glaube, for anyone curious).

Last recording session for season 2!! It has been a very rough ride to get this season to its end but we're so close now!
The finale should be out in a week or so, depending on how long editing will take, and I think this is gonna be an editing heavy episode 😬

The next episode should be out in the next few days !
Sorry it's taken so long again 😮💨 hopefully for the next season I'll learn that I should plan to do 5 projects at the same time 😔
I really, really want next season to go much smoother than this one. It's been a bit chaotic 😔

Spent over an hour crafting a tiny sentences in a fictional language for a chant in the next episode even though it'll barely be heard cause in universe it's too far away but I just needed the syntax and morphology to be correct and playing around with inflected languages is just too much fun

Finally started recording for the next episode and it feels like simultaneously the episode with the longest narrator part and the most other distinct roles in it ☠️
I think there are about 14 different speaking entities in it, most of them just have very little to say 😬

At the end of season two there are two terrible, horrible women who interact for less than five minutes and I feel like creating my own terrible, horrible rarepair.
One of those ships that would make absolutely no sense in canon but are so delicious in fanfics.

If after I've finished the current season & I've edited it into a book I start writing fanfics of my own characters, please do not blame me 😔 I need to be silly & unserious for a while 😔 none of it will be canon & the characters will be ooc but I just need to play with them like dolls for a bit
The absolute horrors of writing a slowburn romance between side characters when there's only about 2 weeks between the beginning of book 1 and the end of book 2 😔😔
Look, I also want to see them kiss, but they barely even know each others names yet 😔

Writer me has great plans for next episode - including a group chanting a ritual and a big fight with swords and a dog (the dog will be fine, don't worry). I just don't know if the rest of the production team (also me) will be very happy with this script in the end 😬

If you've already listened to the latest episode and notice a sentence missing, no you didn't! That sentence never existed! I certainly didn't notice it making no sense and fucking up my continuity weeks after release. How dare you imply I make mistakes while writing 😡

I have to apologize to you all. I thought I could finish the season & edit the script into book form at the same time so I set up a deadline with my editor for the end of the month excep I keep adding words while editing and now I've already added 10k words to it and I'm only just halfway through 😔
