I'm glad you're interested~! ~(*~* )~ Are you caught up with the lore thus far? If so, don't worry too much about the lack of visual progress, I am working it out.

I'm actually trying to crunch through a writer's block. The strange part is that I'm actually more comfortable writing the later parts of the story than the current state of the story. There are two reasons for this:
 * 1) lore changed in a way I did not anticipate.
 * 2) I'm drastically changing the style of writing in the following chapter.

Thus far, this story could only be seen as a saga. However, my original intention was to make an epic. Thus, I decided to add a musical element by creating ballads based off of songs that I am soon going to implement. The first ballad will be two chapters after where the current story is.

If you don't mind spoilers, you can check out exactly where my progress is going in User:Double Slap/Sandbox. These epic ballads are entire chapters and I have finished three thus far. So I have already created over three chapters worth of material, during the time I didn't post anything publicly. Of course the issue is that they are all pieces later on in the story.

The main block in my train of thought is how to ruin the positive image of Zara I've built up thus far. Fortunately, I'm finally getting an idea of how I should go about it. The battle that is immediately coming up is Zara vs. . I'm planning on making this battle cause Zara to question his own motivation and cast doubt on his morals. After all, his greatest folly was his desperation.
 * I was thinking too hard on how to force people to think of him poorly. Then I realized, Zara is naturally seen poorly. Zara is a terrifying revenant after all. Thus, instead of forcing Zara to actually become evil. I'm going to shift the perspective to third person and let everyone else describe him as a force of pure destruction.
 * Once Zara is viewed as such a malevolent force. He will turn to the docks of Piltover and suddenly use this force against a greater evil. Then everyone will come to see that Zara's awful strength is actually awe-inspiring. I figured out this approach by creating the ballad for Docks vs. Abyss that you can find in User:Double Slap/Sandbox.

So, I am finally punching through the block that held me back so long. That means, I'm just now starting on the next chapter to be published. There are a lot of reasons I went through this. If you want to know the whole story and don't mind spoilers, I could definitely spill the beans on everything. I'm not exactly keeping the story as a well-hidden secret, so I'm comfortable stating anything about the story that you might be wondering about.
