To not clog up my blurb, I'll do it here. Quick disclaimers and stuff and for the peeps who like skipping through things like this, joke's on you.
This is a stand-alone work and is a reworked version of the novella Kolibrie that won the ONC 2022 contest. You can read this without reading the novella version, and is in fact preferred. This novel expands on several plot arcs that the novella cannot, and is therefore more holistic and fuller.
This is still under the bigger umbrella of works of the Arcane Universes. Check out my other works listed in a part called More From Exequinne at the end of this work.
This is an unedited draft. This is not line-edited so you'll see a lot of possible typos, some unflowy sentences, and most likely, some degree of bad phrasing. I see them all the time so don't worry, I'm way ahead of you there. No need to scream about it in my comments section.
I would advise you to avoid skipping anything in this story and that includes epilogues and the likes. Remember: everything is important in the Arcane Universes.
This story is set in a fictional world. Everything comes from my imagination and should be treated as such. I do my research and take inspiration from anything and everything but if there's something you feel iffy about, some detail that you think should not be there, please tell me so we can sort things out immediately. I will appreciate it. <3
With that, here's to another trial for a story that's been told a hundred times over to a hundred different lifetimes.
Welcome to the beginning painted to be like the end.
