War is chaos, even those who start the ambush can be attacked by an unknown foe.

The question is, who has shown up, or perhaps . . . what?

At least Mipo's survived, I like the little Rogue Master's Apprentice. 😊

Revolutionary "Pickaxe" Kobold soldiers meet Lady Zazu, and they realize too late why she is the leader of the Warren.

Into Chapter 3 of Book 2 of Sem'se and things are kicking off with combat. There has been a lack of of persuading the fears of many in the Sem'se Warren and with a lot of little nudges from some specific bag Kobolds, there's now bloodshed.

Apologies all, no Sem'se post this week.
I fell apart while almost making a huge personal goal.

So instead, here is a screenshot of the background I chose for the Birthday Game this coming Saturday.

Sunday Post!
And this time I'm prepared 😎

Book 2 of Sem'se starts off a week after Book 1 ended. Here we see how Zelest is doing, which isn't great BUT she's alive😊

More to come in next week's post.

Getting back into writing after 2 months of nothing has definitely been difficult (the longer days at work didn't help any 😅).

I'm grateful to have been able to get out and watch a play at the #historicpalacetheatre in Lockport NY. The actors were phenomenal and the theater gorgeous.

New Posting Schedule - Sundays

January work on IG and adding BlueSky in February to that has had me meet wonderful people on BookGram and BookSky. Definitely had fun doing the two month challenges with daily posts.

Day 28

Is the Sem’se Government (The Lady and her actual Council) a Net Positive?
Oh yeah, combined they all add more to the population’s quality of life than without (they did create Sem’se after all). 🧵1

1 Year Later. I kept up with the meetup groups I liked. Speed Dating has cut me open to show who I was, painful. Took 6 months to have 1 date, but that helped me to find the 2nd & 3rd. Months later I did find her, my love. She’s not perfect, and neither am I. We’re perfect together.

Autumn. Meetup groups completely checked, no one. I’ve reconnected with my denomination & the prayer helps, though no one there either. Lots of kind & welcoming people, just no single ladies. *Sigh* Okay, let's charge into the noise & crowd. Time to do speed dating events in bars.

Day 27

Ila and Dolon aren’t really affected by the laws of Sem’se.
Zelest and Stonewall aren’t thrilled with the allowance of Cursed Elves. 🧵1

Day 26

Sem'se is a stable city state; trade flows, there haven't been any major attacks in years, no real political incidents in Ring Two, and there are still places within the city to grow.

It's all boring actually (until you read Book 1).

She wants me to come to her state to see her. I’m torn, she rarely picks up on my calls, she replies days later to my texts. I ask what she wants to do in her hometown. I find she can only set aside one evening and one afternoon for the three days I’ll be there. I’m no longer torn.

#romance Ch 12

Returning home I’m hopeful. We set a time for our call. She didn’t pick up; perhaps something came up, I text her, only once. One day passes, on the second she texts me back apologizing, too much going on, crashed once she got home and then had to run after waking. I try again.

Day 25

And thus we see Lady Windspear described in all her (prepared for a surprise battle) glory. She does not care much for dresses unless it is a social event. 🧵1

#romance Ch 11

I’ve never been to NYC, I follow my brother’s suggestions to traverse the city, they work. She and I meet with smiles and kind words. Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, The MET. The more we see the closer we become. Hours of talking and we share so much. Smiles become hugs and kisses.

Day 24

Lady Windspear is the ruler of Sem'se, and as the continent of Zoizierr is concerned she has set herself up as her own version of Queen with councilors who do the daily tasks of government 🧵1

#romance Ch 10

Summer now, and even less meetup groups remain, but there’s hope. It’s been months of texting back-and-forth with her on social media, we click. She’s states away, but maybe? She wants to go to NYC and invited me to join, this could be it!

Day 23

Law Enforcement as we Today understand it, in Sem'se would be completely under the purview of the Sem'se Military. The military seal is the outline of the city from the ground with a sword and shield on either side of the Spire. 🧵1

Day 22

From previous posts (as recent as 2 days ago) you’re all familiar with the fact that Lady Windspear is the ruler of Sem’se and that she does receive help from her most trusted in her personal council (not to be mistaken for the City Council). 🧵1

#romance Ch 9

Spring is almost now Summer, so far nothing. I've culled several groups off the list, wonderful people but all in those groups are married or in their fifties at earliest. Still, more people to meet. I’ve even connected with someone on social media
February 23, 2025 at 2:22 AM
#romance Ch 8

Multiple groups; Board Games, Social Deduction, Local Events, Running, Hiking, Writing, Walking, Dating Sites Suck (I feel that). I’m bound to find her in all of these groups, there’s over a thousand people and so many events. Perfect timing since Spring is here.

Day 21

If you seek a tasting of Sem’se’s favorite treats, then look no further than Jannet’s Tea & Crumpets cafe located in Ring One where the checkpoint for Ring Two’s Southwest entrance is.

The MC’s favorite food is the meat pie, and has several five star reviews. 🧵1

Over a thousand messages. Checked different apps, the same profiles. No new profiles. What now? Meet in-person, but how? Go out and live my life? I don’t go out . . . what about dating events? At bars, ugh. Meetup websites have in-person events for fun activities? Let’s try that
