MY BOOK MANUSCRIPT GOT ACCEPTED! THEY WANT TO PUBLISH MY BOOK!!!!!!

I have been working on building the world of Ahna for a decade, and Faceless is one of my favorite stories from that world. Being able to share it with others, even on a smaller level, would be a dream come true. Writing Lirisi’s story was so cathartic for me, and helped me work through all the fear and uncertainty and anger and confusion from the world around me. Having a way to take the bad things in the world and putting them in a place where I know good will always win over evil and everything will be okay even if it isn’t perfect is something I still need. Creating a story that felt like the stories I read when I was younger, but with things I see now that I’m older was special.

I have the stories laid out, and I know exactly how each of them end. I know the continents, the histories, the lore, and the people who reside there. I doubt any of these stories are going to be perfect. I know they’re not going to be for everyone. I’m sure they’re going to be things that I will get wrong or that I wish I could go back and change someday in the future. But right now, I am happy and I am proud.

FFXIVwrite 2023 - 28 Blunt

Ahna Vonfiaull was not much of a drinker. Though it took a substantial amount of alcohol to inebriate most of Roegadyn descent, her constitution was quite weak to drink. She didn't implicitly hate it, but she preferred to have her wits about her. A Warrior with their rage on the loose with their axe while completely sloshed just seemed like a bad idea.

Mjna once said Ahna would get drunk just smelling the stuff. So Ahna ending up in The Drowning Wench on quite the rowdy night seemed a very unlikely happening.

Yet there she was.

It just so happened that the ship she'd been on docked in the middle of the evening, delayed by bad weather. Most stalls in Hawkers alley had closed until the morning, so Ahna couldn't grab a quick snack for the road as she'd intended. She'd settled for a meal amongst the rabble of her home city.

The merriment of the bar crowd was always a welcome ambiance. Ahna had been raised a vagabond by pirates and when the Admiral outlawed it she went on to serve in the Maelstrom for seven years. She'd been well acquainted will all the folks of Limsa Lominsa, but with her work with the scions and Bluomjhodornn taking up most of her time it was no surprise that some might not recognize her.

"What's a sweet lass such as yerself doing all alone in a place like this?" The gruff voice had been unfamiliar so Ahna had no reason to look up from her decadent meal. She chewed and savored her rare stake. The foot on land had been leaps and bounds more enjoyable than the slop you could get on a long sea voyage.

"Oi! He's talkin' to you tart. Think you're too good to talk to 'im?" Another voice was followed by someone jamming their hand onto her table, jostling the dishes in front of her.

Ahna looked up slowly from her meal, fork still in her mouth as she'd been mid bite. She raised an eyebrow, her green eyes following the offending hand up the attached arm and up to the face of a Hyuran man. The Midlander was flanked by a couple of rough looking Roegadyn men and a Miqo'te fellow.

Slowly Ahna plucked the food from her fork, eyes landing squarely on the Hyuran man that had rudely interrupted her.

"Move on." Ahna said gruffly between bites.

"What was that?" The Hyur sounded incredulous "Do you know who we are sweetheart? You'd show some respect if you knew what was good for ya."

Ahna put down her utensils, chair scrapping the ground as she pushed up from her chair with irritation.

"I said move on little man." Ahna glared down at him angrily. She almost felt a little bad with how quickly the man cowered at her height, as if he hadn't expected her to be so much taller than him. It was all the more funny to her because she was already taller than him while seated.

"Oi, maybe ye ought settle down lass, lest ye want trouble." One of the Roegadyn men barked.

Ahna scoffed. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. As if they were not interrupting her meal. The two Roegadyn men were taller than her, though only by a little. Still she did not shrink back. She could take them with one arm tied behind her back she was sure.

Ahna's axe was beside her, propped against one of the other chairs at the table along with her pack. She didn't need it though. She gave one of her shoulders a roll, loosening it before delivering a swift punch to the jaw of one of the tall fellows and following up with a kick to the balls of the other.

It only took a fierce look from her to have their feline friend backing away.

"If I weren't blunt enough before gentleman, get the hells out of my face before I see you flung o'er the taffrail into the drink." Ahna settled back into her chair, ignoring the lot as they retreated from the bar followed by the sounds of laughter.
