Mystery in town and a nice twist at the end! This looks like a promising fantasy world.

Thank you, Bill! I have a lot more to write for this world but I really need to finish Oceanus first. Almost there.

This is awesome. I love the town and the way you characterised it as Valmir left. You described it wonderfully and I felt like I was literally hovering above Valmir as he was walking to the stable; but you also made it seem extremely mysterious, especially with the magistrate.

Valmir himself is a very intriguing character and I am really looking forward to seeing more of his escapades!

What a very interesting story Hanna. It sounds quite exciting! Love the funny ending, reminiscent of many funny stories I have encountered. I think you definitely have humor built into some of your stories. I love this!

I promise to make this as funny as possible all along. There will be horrors, battles and misadventures but we can all laugh our way through it 😂

I am all for it. I like your humor as well as @V Kelly-Sibley and now @E.B. Howard gosh, I am bristling with excitement.

Thank you. I've outlined it but I'm not touching it til Oceanus is finished 😅 not long now.

Let's face it, I'm usually to blame. 🤪

Well, I'm grateful, anyway! Thanks Brian.

This is another great evocative opening. You are going to have quite a lot of stuff on the go now, you know that, right? People will be demanding more from each of your settings. Mind you I'm a fine one to talk in that regard.

I like this one very much. More please.

Whoops! I've made a lot of work for myself, it seems! I am treating this as the reward for finishing Oceanus. I have 15 or so more chapters to publish but it is mostly done.Thank you Evelyn, I am so glad you enjoyed it.
