Day 121
Today I started attempting to manipulate flesh, or more specifically I started trying to turn wood into flesh. I have no idea how I would go about manipulating flesh directly, but if I could get wood to the point that it basically mimics flesh, could I get it to turn into flesh?
With this thought in mind I go about crafting a new puppet, not to fight, but for the simple joy of creation. I took my time, starting from the ground up, redesigning everything, pulling bits and pieces from diagrams and descriptions in the book, as well as creating some things that are purely my own. I made quite a bit of progress, but I'm nowhere close.
This will take a long time, as just redesigning a single toe took me from when the clock hit five, to when it hit eight, most of the time I spent working on it today. I need to make sure every minute detail is correct to increase the chances that this will work. I know I will get better at this as a continues, so I have no idea how long this will take. But it has ignited my passion like nothing before it has, I want, no need to make this dream into a reality.
During my lengthier than normal lunch break, as I was expending mana much faster than I'm used to, I discussed my project with Mest. It was pretty obvious much of it when over his head, but he still managed to be an interesting conversationalist.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. --------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road website.

The Underbelly
There's something wrong with Port City. In the aftermath of the Hyde Park massacre, the city increased its police force dramatically, and Wyatt Milter found himself in uniform, with a gun, a badge, and dreams of someday making detective, but with no clue how to actually make it happen. These days a new, ugly kind of violence is rising on the streets. As a bizarre group of characters emerges from Port City's underbelly, Wyatt will be forced into making a difficult decision. Will he remain a cop? Or will he serve a different kind of justice? (Author's Note: I started writing this about 10 years ago and only now got around to the idea of uploading it. As a result, much of this predates the rising popularity of the Green Arrow. I'm uploading as is, but future drafts will make minor alterations to the character to differentiate it.)
