The Lost Oracle

• Author's Note •

The Oracle of Duality turns into ash every century, reincarnating again to keep peace and balance in the realm of Epora. The Lord of Law and the Lord of Chaos may never impose as long as the Duality is standing strong.

But, what happens when the Oracle is gone for good?

Pom and her sister are thrust into an unforgiving and confusing world where they have no choice but to make decisions that will shape not only the fiber of their souls, but the fate of all life as they know it.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! That's right, it's ONC season. Last year was my first attempt, but I didn't make the word count deadline for the third round 🥲
Why? Honestly, I had a serious case of imposter syndrome and self doubt. I did end up finishing that novella, but I have yet to publish it.

So it's time to unpack my tools and have another go! Here's a look at the prompts I chose.

Prompt 45:
Hell and Heaven collide once
again. The War Demons march to
meet the Battle Angels in a struggle
for dominance over the Human
Realm.

Prompt 41:
There can only be one witch or
warlock every 100 years, crumbling
to ashes once they've reached their
time. It's been two weeks past your
100th birthday, and you're still alive.

These prompts will be tweaked significantly, but the gist of it will remain the same. Thank you for taking time to check out THE LOST ORACLE!
