《After Megiddo》Not a Chapter: Author's notes - Book 3
Advertisement
Good day everyone. I wanted to thank you all for your patience. The rewrite is officially finished--finally!
Rereading through the original material, I've enjoyed the improvements, from where I started, to where I am now, and the writing group that has helped me improve. There is always room for improvement.
I disliked the way I published the rewrites, but I couldn't see a better alternative. But that's OK, the first rewrite is done. I have plans on improving several chapters and Amy's arc. I found what felt off. Amy and Gup were fun to write, but I feel like I was missing Lucifer, the main reason to have Amy in the first place.
For the final Epilogue, I had replaced the church pursing Gideon with Lucifer. I felt they had a better relationship, the stakes and dangers are higher, and it felt too packed by book 3. Too many faces crowding the camera, so to speak. The church will have their own focus soon.
The rewrite of the second book will be a more brief affair, tightening up grammar, and consistency from the first book. I may change a bit of the narrative. Maybe end Soltana's arc with her walking. Things to think about. Overall I'm pleased with finally completing the book.
Now, onto Hell's Pursuit.
I'll be releasing Prologue soon.
Gideon and crew are on their way to Lo-Nine, having finally made a discovery of their precious cargo. And Baxter has lost track of Saddiffer, somehow. Steak has made some upgrades, as did Patricia. Gideon struggles with the trauma of his adventures, with Deborah doing her best to heal his fracturing mind. Prosine continues to upgrade the Decima in preparation of conflict. The crew then have to contend with missing supplies.
Soltana and crew continue their flight to Lo-Nine, preparing to meet the other Seal holders. Soltana witnesses L'yophin's transformation into a faekind. Basil and Diniel mend the wounded hearts of the crew while Phela comforts Maw. L'yophin confronts the child of Ruth alongside Diniel. Soltana then attempts to wake the comatose Ruth. A sudden conflict in the storage bay alerts everyone.

Amy enjoys her extravagant tea party with her new collection of demons. Gup, Breatherman, Belph, Lictor, and Revent all enjoy a quiet time of shenanigans. Gup now shows some semblance of intelligence as she gives him more and more currency. A sudden visit from a certain bestie drags her and her crew on an adventure to Lo-Nine.
Demons and Angels all hear of the potential meeting at Lo-Nine. Two disparate and antagonist groups make their way to the meeting site.
Lucifer. God of the fallen angels pursues Gideon and the other Seal holders. Nothing will stand in her way.
Genius Loci. God of the resurrected Proturan race goes to Lo-Nine just for kicks. His new champion, Barthin, the former fallen angel guards his new host.
Slate. ▓▓▓▓ . The unknowable, the unamable, the unsatiable, and ever hungry god seeks more and more. Lo-Nine sounds interesting. And delicious.

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
