The healing powers of the ahlea flower… and honestly I just love any scene between these two, especially now that they’re older—Isaac’s is now 77 (was 39 in Book 1) and Mæve is 61 (was 23 in Book 1). From The Mycellium Forest (Book 3) 💫 Kickstarter is live! 💫 #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 4, Isaac POV:

Isaac held one of the tiny blooms between his thumb and forefinger. “It looks like the ahlea flower.”

“Yes, you’ve mentioned that before.” Mæve said as she worked grinding the flowers together. “From your homeland?”

“That’s right,” Isaac said. “They call it the Malice’s bane. It’s named after our Saint Ahlea, our protector and guiding star.”

It grew wild in the Ashirak Desert, and people said it kept the Malice at bay. 

“Yes, I recall you telling me of the ahlea flower,” Mæve said as she poured boiling water over the crushed petals. “I wrote of it in my journal, which I can’t seem to find anywhere…” she trailed off as she left the steaming concoction to steep and sifted through some papers on a nearby cabinet.

Not all wounds are visible… 🎪🖤✨ Subbing “wound” for “injury” From The Mycellium Forest (Book 3) 💫 Kickstarter is live! 💫 Help bring this story to life… #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 16, Ætheren POV:

“Isyra,” Ætheren said. “What can I do?”
“Not much now,” she said. “I put a salve on his wounds. He needs to rest and heal.”
Ætheren would have died tonight if not for Grak and his friends. He felt utterly defenseless, a stark contrast to his capable companions. They had all been so powerful, and he had been nothing more than a liability. He did not know how to fight like Isyra. And he didn’t have any powers like the rest of them.
His hand travelled to the collar at his throat. Not power—a moonless curse and nothing more.

I’m so excited to share this beautiful artwork of Rowynn and Zi, created by Calesia (IG)! Zi, demon prince of the world of dreams, introduces Rowynn to his observatory. From Book 2, Star of Shalik. Enter the series today—Book 3 kickstarter is live. Help their story continue! #BookSky #FantasyBooks
I’m so excited to share this beautiful artwork of Rowynn and Zi created by Calesia! I’m absolutely in LOVE with them.

Zi and Rowynn are from Book 2 of The Chrysillium Saga, Star of Shalik, and this scene was voted as a favorite by readers!

Tucked away, deep inside the world of dreams, is a palace on the glittering Alakarian Sea. Here the demon Zi resides and observes the cosmos to guide the dreamers that climb from the sea seeking his council. Rowynn did not go willingly with Zi to Alakar--the world of dreams. Zi pulled her there to protect her, but up until this scene she is not happy about that. In this scene, Zi introduces Rowynn to his observatory and she begins to open to the wonder around her and to the idea that, perhaps, Zi might indeed be able to help her understand her new-found powers.

Both of these characters return in Book 3, the Mycellium Forest.

The Chrysillium Saga is for readers who love:

🌲 star-born trees
✨ celestial and natural magic
🌊 dark palaces upon glittering seas
🏚️ a tiny cabin hidden in the woods
🌙 a mysterious demon prince of the World of Dreams
💰 a wealthy merchant who stands to lose everything—and is glad to do so
👑 a king of a magical people and the MC’s captors’ enemy

And so much more.

And now’s the perfect time to start or re-enter the series as the Book 3 Kickstarter is live!

THE MYCELLIUM FOREST is an atmospheric dark fantasy of ancient magic, forgotten histories, mysterious forests, and entwined destinies.

✨ Help bring Book 3 to life and continue Zi and Rowynn’s journey together! The Kickstarter is LIVE, with some awesome rewards for both new and returning readers.
Come explore the campaign—and enter the Chrysillium Saga. ✨

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 31, Ætheren POV:

They stood at the base of the Aurinthal. He knew a secret passageway into the mountain. It was quicker than scaling the mountain and would take them to Shålan’s abode. Ætheren supposed there were many benefits to growing up here and knowing the forest and the mountain so well. 

At the threshold of the mountain’s entrance, scents of damp moss and earthen rich soil hit Ætheren, bringing a rush of childhood memories. This was the only home he had ever known.

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 24, Isyra POV:

Isyra wasn’t as sure. “It’s still not enough time.”
Korrin sobered as he said, “You’re right. We travel to Ulli. There are forgotten portals there. The travel stones of Ulli, they were called. When [REDACTED], their country, Arkas, crumbled and the portals collapsed internally, leaving only the stone portals behind. They are dangerous things now. People have wandered into them and never returned. We’re not sure where they went. But I believe I can control them and use the magic woven there to take us to Illirium.”
“You believe?” Isyra said. “What if you’re wrong?”

“Then we will have a great adventure,” Korrin said, and Isyra’s stomach lurched. Zama’s breath, not only were they on their way to a country she had never heard of before to face a demon lord, but to get there they had to travel through these defunct portals.

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 8, Ætheren POV:

“I know I have. Who is this man who hides in the shadows and yet controls the creatures of the Mycellium forest? Well, tonight we find out!” Korrin said, and with a flourish of his deep indigo cloak, the illusionist yanked back Ætheren’s hood exposing his pale face, night-black hair, and the collar at his throat. 

The audience gasped. He was sure he looked quite horrifying with his charcoal-blackened eyes and glowing lavender eyes. Shocked by Korrin’s unexpected actions and feeling exposed, Ætheren stumbled back, eyes wide, as he said, “What are you doing?”

“Let’s see who you really are, Ætheren Vale,” Korrin said as he produced a thin wand that appeared to be crafted from bone; strange markings adorned it. He pointed the bone wand at him and touched the tip to his collar.

There was a sickening snap—like the sound of bones cracking. Ætheren gasped, startled back, and the collar fell in two pieces at his feet.

From draft four of Book 3, The Mycellium Forest, chapter 21, Isyra POV:

The sun set in a vermillion splender, the deep set of silver speckled indigo pushing out the last few rays of brilliant light. Had she ever witnessed anything so breathtaking? 

As Isyra made her way along the corridor the second gong sounded. Other Lyndallians streamed into the hallway around her and she followed their lead into a giant mess hall where a meal was about to be served. 

She looked around the cavernous room, lost, and unsure what to do, when a voice said in her ear, “follow me.”

Ebiz.

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 5, Ætheren POV:

The audience erupted in applause, and the performers all returned to the center to bow and wave as flowers and other offerings rained down around them. As they filed out of the tent, Ætheren gathered the little offerings scattered about the circus floor. The audience looked… different, somehow; a weight lifted, a certain shimmer about them.

It wasn’t the first time he had noticed it. It was always the same—and although Ætheren didn’t fully understand the magic that happened here; he knew enough to know it was real.

With his hands full, Ætheren, with Grak on his heels, made his way to the rear chamber of the tent and dropped the many offerings into a bin.

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 3, Elijwa POV:

I can feel the magic of this place,” Isaac said, craning his neck to look up at the twinkling trees above their heads. He lowered his gaze, meeting her eyes. “You did this. You created this, and magic now flourishes among the Lumani.”

Warm gratitude bloomed in Elijwa’s chest, and she could not help the smile forming on her lips. She had created this grove—called down countless stars to birth the Chrysillium trees now flourishing here and infusing the land with star-born magic.The magic the Lumani had lost with the decimation of the grove at Falls Hollow was finally restored. 

“Finally, there is peace,” she said. “Panez reunited the Lumani, and we have the wall, of course, and finally, after so much loss, we can have our peace.”

She wished her voice had not quavered at the end. She wished the price had not needed to be so steep. But wishing for what could no longer be seemed futile.

G'morning #WIPSnips! Milly sitting down for that interview and prepares herself for what's to come. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“You must be Milly! Matthew informed me that you’d be coming up! Please, come in!” the woman says and stands aside to make way for me to come in. I do just that, entering a lavishly decorated office with a large mahogany desk and three open windows looking out onto the front driveway, where the woman has probably seen everyone who’s arrived already from this vantage point. 
There are bookshelves half-filled with books and half with curious artefacts, many of them looking very Greek in nature, like a dented and scratched spartan helmet and an amphora on a wall mount. I try to look around more to catch more details, but the door closes and the woman approaches me.
“I’m so happy you accepted my invitation, Millicent! I’m Mrs Irena Van Der Vaal, the owner of this Manor and the school that is about to start!” she says excitedly and holds out a hand. I take it and we shake, and for a moment I smell… the ocean?”
“Thank you for inviting me, but you can call me Milly if that’s alright with you.”
“Just as you wish, Milly. Please, take a seat so we can start!” Irena says and rounds the desk to sit in the high-backed red leather chair. I take one of the two smaller seats in front of the desk and prepare myself for whatever strangeness is about to happen.

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 10, Isyra POV:

Morgan picked up a feather pen from her desk and busied herself writing something. 

Zama’s breath. Isyra hadn’t meant to drag everyone into this. She glared at Korrin. What game was he playing? “We don’t need your help,” she said to him. “Ætheren and I can do this on our own.”

Korrin just laughed out loud, and Finn rolled his eyes.

“You can’t stay here,” Morgan said, ignoring Isyra. “The circus needs to stop performing—for now—to get away from people figuring out what we’re doing, but also to get away from the gods if they are now watching.”

She handed a parchment to Finn. “You will go to Thalis. Scope it out. See if it is a place the circus can move to. Take this to the bank and retrieve the money you need. You have one moon to return and report back to me.”

Poor Ætheren! Utterly and completely transfixed… 🎪🖤✨ From The Mycellium Forest (Book 3) 💫 Kickstarter is live! 💫 Help bring this story to life… #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter one, Ætheren POV:

“I don’t bite, you know,” Finn whispered. 

He did, though. From those stunning gray eyes—haunted with impossible depths—to the deep bronze of his tousled hair, Finn’s beauty was his teeth and his bite was how that beauty could completely disarm Ætheren, transforming him into a blubbering idiot in mere minutes.
