Story update

Welcome all to a long awaited update for my story:

Fresh Blood

Please note that this story has the AO3 lock beside the title.

Wherein a poor young, meaning 25 years old, enby ends up on the continent. Unfortunately as found out in the first chapter, they weren't received by a kind person.

But now for this chapter:

Cleaning his blade, Geralt quickly gets to unlocking the cage. Silke slips out as soon as there is enough room for them to get out, getting away from Ryse’s body as quickly as they can with Geralt following close behind. As the fully conscious vampires converge on the body, the sounds of them feasting cause Silke to turn away with a shudder.

The barely conscious vampire wheezes as he looks at Silke, "you will have to get used to such sounds as a packmaster." They turn to him, brows furrowing, "you know a lot about these instincts I'll be getting used to. What is your name?" He blinks and cautiously glances at Geralt, who is checking over his blade close enough to hear, before focusing on them again, "my name is Khagmar of the tribe Garashem. Due to what the Sorcerer did, we are now blood siblings. That makes us pack, whether we choose to remain together or not is our personal choice."

Narrowing his eyes, Geralt sheathes his sword, "your accent is familiar, Khagmar. Sounds a lot like an old friend of mine." Flexing his fingers, he keeps an eye on the Witcher, "this friend of yours Witcher, was he a Higher Vampire?" Geralt nods, crossing his arms, "yeah, Regis was. He got melted by a Sorcerer though." Furrowing his brows, Khagmar meets his gaze, "that would not kill one of my kind, it would only make for an excruciating few years to recover from with vampire help. Without the help, it would be closer to a few decades." The Witcher's face slackens in shock and horror, whispering without realizing it, "I abandoned him. I abandoned one of the last surviving members of my hansa."

Sorwen may be cute and cuddly at first glance, but is not so sweet when provoked. And provoked ferret Sorwen is a murder ferret Sorwen, lol.

[golddragondesigns]

Sorwen 'Rook' Kortez

A member of House Kortez. May or may not have been Emil Kortez's successor as Fourth Talon. Uses a double during the year before the events of Veilguard so that the House doesn't fall to pieces.

[golddragondesigns]

emoji ask! for all three of your rooks, if you like: 🍪 - What are their favorite scents?

I haven't had to think of that yet in Chi and Zahir's story lines. For Zahir, I would say something with pine and/or cedar. And for Chi, a cedar/cinnamon blend.

Now for Sorwen, I would think a rose/mint scent. Don't know why he mixes those two, though fortunately he's not a part of House de Riva, lol. Must be nose blind in some way.

[golddragondesigns]

DA 'Rooks'

In order of apperance: Chi Drakkar/Mercar, Sorwen Kortez, Zahir Drakkar/Aldwir.

Chi Drakkar is found in - https://archiveofourown.org/works/67579171 and Zahir Drakkar is found in - https://archiveofourown.org/works/68377096.

Of the three, Sorwen is the newest. He currently has nothing written for him.

Actually follow-up to this post (which is so accurate and deeply felt)

Are you excited about something? Having a bad day at work? Stressed out because your mom is pissing you off? Did a customer look at you cross-eyed? Did you find a snail on the sidewalk and take a picture? Did someone write something stupid on the internet and you need a place to scream?

YOU CAN TELL ME!! Please bother me! I am walking around with a neon sign that says BOTHER ME! Friendship is inherently intrusive and this is my invitation for you to intrude on my peace! I will disconnect if I need the space, you do not need to manage my energy for me!

[xkatchy]

I am inherently terrified to 'bother' anyone. To the point I keep retreating into 'silent until spoken to'. BUT. I am always always here for anyone. Come tell me things. I would be overjoyed to hear them.

And I will try to be more vocal too ♡

[golddragondesigns]

I too am not one to 'insert' myself into places unless invited. (Apparently I'm like a vampire for socializing lol) But once interacted with good luck getting me to be quiet.

Ask me questions, talk about your latest obsession. Talk about your pets. I'll listen and reply, and maybe, just maybe, will open up myself.

Character Bio for Tasithos

Tasithos is the main character, (at least I hope he is), of my novel in the making: Shadowed Lands. He is considered a noble by Shadow Fae standards due to his mother and the day-watch guard captain of the Wall, the boundary that keeps the enemy of the Fae, the Shadowkind, out of the Fae Realms. He is the only survivor of his patrol and determined to tell the Empress of his people what had happened. Unbeknownst to him, the Empress kept a secret from him, a secret of his birth.
