To the hours I spent writing this story.

To the days I spent editing this story.

To the months I spent outlining this story.

And to the years I spent daydreaming of winged women that could control time at the snap of their fingers, of the worlds of the dying and the undying, of stars with midnight skin and ochre eyes depicting the constellations, of Chaos incarnate who could make the earth churn at a single utterance of It's name, of the shadow-like monsters that crawl in the depths of the earth where Death lays claim, a sleeping Giant of Downside. What could I have done without you?

 What could I have done without you?

"There are two elements; Spirit and Mortal. The soul contains a little inkling of both. The element that outweighs the other determines what you are. The question is, my friend, are you of the dying or the Immortal?"

• S U M M A R Y •

A subdivision of humans dwell in the pockets of time and are under the reign of the Council, the guardians of the mortal and undying worlds. A prophecy depicts a new age with an immortal Council that will take the place of the Sayidats, the Ladies of Time. Meanwhile, an ancient force threatens to overthrow the order and stop the prophecy's fulfillment so mayhem can rule.

~~~~

Ingrid is a trainee Sayidat under the orders of her mentor, Lady Ophelia. Her time is approaching when she can become part of the Council, but the arrival of a prophesied savior postpones her training, and she is thrust into helping him and other powerful beings find those that will aid him in his reign over the Phenomenal world.

However, the hunt for the Immortals is plagued with obstacles set by a lord of chaos that seeks revenge on the Council for casting him to the Underworld. Ingrid is tested like never before and must make decisions that will measure her strength.

Time is running out, and chaos has never been stronger. Little does Ingrid know that the prophecy's Immortals are closer to her than she thinks.

Would you like to be skinned alive and fed to Drogon?

No? Didn't think so. I see we've come to an unanimous agreement that you will not steal my work. I thank you for that respect shown to me.

Journey no further if you cannot stomach the idea of slow, slow, slow updates or long-ass chapters.
