The 'Afterword' letter in the 2012 edition made me cry a little.
I'm glad Charlie made it.
“I am the echoes of those who had been slain by the metal of injustice. I am the shadows of men long silenced and hidden from the light. I am he who rides the black winds of carnage. I am death himself. Prepare yourself, for when next we speak, it will be face to face. And you will know that your death has come.”
-Kaidus Reilt Paltos
"sometimes people’s minds are harder to change than their appearances"

"humanity is this world’s fakest race! Human beings tend to set lofty moral standards for themselves, and then place these codes into our books to advertise it… However, most people in this world will never adhere to such social standards. This is the so called say one thing and do another."
- Du wei Rowling

So yall update chapter 2 of missing files is almost out, so keep your peepers peeled for that, I want to apologize for how long this has taken, but the wait will be over soon. And p.s keep a lookout for something new 👀
Everyone retained their memories from previous
In this au all the capture targets including the duke suddenly recall their respective memories of all the previous cycles. However there is one very big difference in this cycle, Yvonne is alive.
The Eckart siblings never snuck out to the festival, Yvonne had a fever from running around in the rain days before. She never convinced her brothers to sneak out to the festival, and she never got separated from them thus the Duke never adopted Penelope while looking for Yvonne.
Yvonne also has her memories from her time in the mirror of truth and being possessed by Laila.
Upon realizing that they never adopted Penelope the Eckarts begin frantically searching for her joined by the Crown Prince and Vinter. However, since it has been nearly six years by then, they have no leads. When they ask around the town about the duke who met her, they learn that her mother died but she was never buried and Penelope was nowhere to be found.
Cut to Penelope, after her mother passed away slave traders captured her, this particular group of slave traders has a reputation in the black market for selling high-quality ‘merchandise’. They initially intended to sell her along with the other enslaved children but because of her exotic hair colour, they decided to keep her until she was older so she would be sold at a much higher price.
This particular organization is known for selling high-quality slaves as they ‘train’ them to serve multiple purposes. Penelope was able to learn to read and write because of this. However, one day the slave traders found out she could use magic, and they quickly scrapped the idea of selling her and instead using her for their own purpose.
They forced her to learn magic on her own, she has a room with a straw bed, a bookshelf and writing material. Since she didn’t have anyone to teach her properly she had to get creative to get any results.
Compared to the other slaves she does get better treatment but she is more likely to get punished whether it was because they expect more from her and think she’s not working faster enough or she just happens to be in the vicinity whenever they're in a bad mood so they take out their frustrations on her.
Throughout the years she has gotten better at magic and has made process on her escape plan. The only problem is the colla they put on her neck that will electrocute her should she disobey an order. It's the only thing keeping her from running away and she is on a time crunch as she is finally going to be sold at the upcoming auction. And she's the main attraction.
Back to everyone else, Vinter has been looking for Penelope since the time-loop reset and has come across a rumour of a slave auction coming up at a party. It said that these merchants possess high-quality 'merchandise' and their prized possession is said to be a girl with the blood of a wizard.
This obviously gets his attention and upon further investigation, he not only finds out that the majority of the Empress's fraction are are going to attend this auction but the fact that these merchants may have ties with Laila . So he enlists the help of the Crown Prince in order to raid this event.
Callisto obviously uses the opportunity to weaken the Empress's fraction so that he could focus on finding Penelope. After much preparation, they've successfully completed the raid and arrested everyone involved.
Everyone involved is happy that she's alive and all but they quickly realized that unlike then she doesn't have memories of the time loops.
Callisto lead the royal guards whilst Vinter took stock of the slaves. You could imagine the look on his face when he came across the person he's been looking for, Penelope. He almost didn't believe it because she looked so....different.
She actually does have all her memories it's just that unlike them she went back in time to after her mother died so she now has to deal with her trauma from the six years she was a slave.
Pregnancy Shenanigans
Penelope slept a lot when she was deeper into her pregnancy like you could not wake her up unless it was time to eat or bathe.
I imagine she had quite a death grip on Callisto whenever they slept at night and he had to pry himself away to get up for work.
But no matter what he did he would not escape her for long. Sometimes if she felt clingy she would waddle to his office and sit in his lap without a word and stay there.
Penelope ate a lot more food than before thanks to her pregnancy cravings. She had had a better relationship with food even after giving birth.
When the doctor recommended going on walks every day to build muscles for labour, Callisto made sure she went on a walk three times a day after every meal.
She hated it.
I imagine that later in her 2nd trimester is when the shenanigans started.
Penelope and Callisto didn't know what to expect when it came to their future child. Given that they both descendants of ancient wizards and the golden dragon respectively.
So it didn't surprise them that much when their child was suddenly using magic while still in the womb.
It was mostly harmless things like levitating small items in whatever room Penelope was in nothing else.
But there was one incident where an assassin tried to assassinate Penelope in the night when Callisto had to work late. The guards were alerted to the intruder right away but the assassin held her hostage in an attempt to escape.
In all of the commotion no one noticed Penelope navel glowing gold as the baby reacted to their mother's fear and levitate a vase to smash it into the assassin's head making him release Penelope from surprise. He was executed by the guards present.
After that they moved the Empress to a another room for the rest of her pregnancy. Callisto became paranoid after the incident.
Luckily the rest of her pregnancy went smoothly.
An Au with slight canon divergence. Everything is going according to the novel except Penelope and Callisto in the heat of the moment do the devil's tango in the cave during the hunting arc. Things proceed as normal but low and behold Penny is pregnant.
At first, she didn't think anything was wrong considering she never had a regular period cycle, to begin with. So to her, it was not a problem that her period hasn't started.
By the time Yvonne is brought back to the duchy, she is already getting morning sickness and nausea. Only then does she consider the possibility of her being pregnant, but she doesn't get the chance to confirm it. She is rightfully horrified, I would be too if I found out I was pregnant and the father told me that he sees no value in love.
Anyway, later she is confronted by Laila who was initially going to stay hidden and steal the mirror shard to carry out her evil plan yada yada. Laila basically confirms that she is pregnant and tries to brainwash Penelope in her moment of shock.
However, her wizard blood and the magic of the golden dragon prevented that from happening stunning Yvonne and giving Penelope time to flee to her room. Once there she packs an emergency bag with the mirror shard and map and teleports to a random far away town near the sea.
There she meets an older woman, an apothecary who offers to let her stay the night at her home to get her bearings together. The next day Penny asks the woman if she can do a pregnancy test for her. The woman agrees and Penelope does the test.
While waiting for the results, there is a knock at the front door the apothecary is occupied in another room with the test results so Penny answers the door. Only to wish she didn't because right on the other side is none other than Callisto Regulus himself, who tracked her down with the copy of the magic map. He is furious and invites himself in, demanding to know why she ran away all of a sudden making everyone think she was kidnapped.
The apothecary oblivious to the commotion walks into the room and loudly announces that the test results came back positive and that she is in fact pregnant. YAY!
Silence. Absolute silence, Callisto is stunned at the news and Penelope is terrified about what he may do next. The older woman is putting the pieces together and realises that he may be the child's father and leaves to give them privacy.
They do talk but it quickly escalates into arguing both of their emotions are running rampant at the discovery. Callisto realises that they conceived that night in the cave and realises that she was pregnant throughout the past months and keeps asking how did she not realise this soon such and such. Meanwhile, Penny is on the verge of a breakdown crying and yelling out all the things she's been keeping bottled up before reminding him that he said he did not love her.
They finally calm down enough to have a more civil conversation, Penelope states that she's not going back to the Duchy for a while. He is curious as to why she ran away in the first place and gets her to explain everything specifically about the fact that Yvonne is Laila among other things.
Anyhow the event of the original novel happens faster here minus the coming of age part. Penelope and Callisto find the magic wand to defeat Laila who at this time is beginning her attack on the kingdom to use the golden dragon to revive her clan etc. Laila is defeated, Penelope and Callisto get hitched and months later Judith is born. YAY!
PS. sorry if everything seems rushed coming down to the end. I have an exam tomorrow but wanted to post this before I went to bed.
People of the VADD Fandom. What are your little headcanons about the story? It could be about the characters, the world, the magic system anything. Reblog your answers.
Interesting Fact #1
Novels were forbidden in the Spanish colonies by the Inquisition. The literary genre of novels was seen as dangerous. Reading a novel could warrant one jail time and humiliation. Novels weren't published until after independence at the beginning if the 19th century. This ban on fiction was part of the inquisitions goal to rid the "fictional disease" that plagued them.
Information from Latin America: Fiction and Reality by Mario Vargas Llosa.
If you any more information related to the fact, or you have corrections, Please share! I would love to hear!
This is the character Nenious from my first book.
So I am really struggling to decided which of these pics is better to be the cover of my second book. So I need as many opinions as possible to help me decide which cover I should pick. Please help me by telling me which of the two you think is better. I would really truly appreciate any feedback.
man, has it already been a year since I last read this book? I don’t know if I still remember most of it.
Just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and I will only say a couple of words:
Simon and Piggy deserved better

"Ah, my apologies. Why are you moving about? You should stay still when I'm tying your belt." He was the cause of this situation and yet he was making such a remark. Unable to contain his irritation, Yuder finally retorted. "Commander, I am not a child." "Of course you're not. You think I don't know your age?"
no kishiar I actually think you're overly aware of his age lmao
