《After the Last Ever After》Chapter 5

Sophie paced outside the castle door. Then a servant picked up her bags and ran them to her room while another led her to Agatha and Tedros. Or just Tedros. "Teddy, darling! How have you been? And where is Agatha?" Tedros bit his lip. "I'm doing well, thank you for asking, and Agatha is resting." "Well, I'll just have to see her now." Sophie said. "No. The queen is in desperate need of some rest. You'll see her later." Tedros said. "Queen? A poor, sultry peasant girl as Queen?" Sophie asked. "Anyone who speaks poorly of the King or Queen will have to pay a price. You will stay one night and no more. During that time, you will never see Agatha or me. Except for when you're seeing me now. Guards will be posted outside your door." Tedros turned to Beatrix. "Lady Beatrix, could you please check on Agatha?" Beatrix nodded. "Of course my King." Sophie fumed. "Beatrix is a lady in your court? Where is her husband? I was told she got married. Why do I not hold a title?" Tedros grimaced. "Lady Beatrix and Lord Chaddick are married. Lord Chaddick is away on business for me. You do not hold a title because you almost destroyed good as we know it." Sophie scoffed. "But surely a friend can be given a title. Beatrix is not as worthy as I to hold a title." "Sophie, from this moment forward, you are from Camelot's castle, and will have no knowledge of the future Prince or Princess." Tedros said infuriated. "Fine. But you will pay." Sophie said, bags flying into her hands. Tedros watched as Sophie stormed out of the castle. "Tedros?" A voice called. "Is she gone?" Tedros smiled. "She's gone Aggie. And she'll never bother us again."

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
