The first chapter of Part Two of „The Immortals Waltz“ has finally arrived at last.  
          
          I must begin by offering my sincerest apologies for the slow pace of updates. School has demanded much of my time and energy, leaving little room for the creative space I so desperately need to do justice to this story. I know how difficult it can be to wait, and your patience means more to me than words can express.  
          
          Yet here we are, stepping into a new chapter, quite literally, where immortality truly awakens and the Carrier sisters emerge from the shadows into Jasper's world. This part promises new depths, new conflicts, and revelations that will reshape everything we thought we understood. 
           
          As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I want to wish you all something profound: may 2025 bring you moments of magic, pages that capture your heart, and stories that remind you why we read. May it bring you peace amid chaos, hope amid darkness, and the strength to chase whatever dreams call to you.
            
          Thank you for your support, your understanding, and for never giving up on Jasper's journey, even when the updates come slowly. Your loyalty is the fuel that keeps this story alive in my heart.  
          
          Here's to new beginnings, immortal tales, and the adventures that await us both.

The final chapter of the first part of The Immortals Waltz has now been released, marking a profound turning point in Jasper Whitlock’s journey.
          
          With this chapter comes the end of Jasper’s mortal life, a chapter with transformation, and the agonizing farewell to the man he once was. It is the dawn of his immortal existence, a new beginning shadowed by the weight of eternity.
          
          As the mortal coil fades, so too does the veil lift on the mysterious Carrier sisters, whose stories will soon entwine with Jasper’s in ways both fiery and fateful. Their arrival heralds a new phase of the saga, a darkness and light interwoven, poised to test loyalties and awaken powers long dormant.
          
          This moment is not just an ending, but the birth of legend. Jasper crosses the threshold from flesh and blood into something forever changed, carrying with him the scars and wisdom of a life fiercely lived.
          
          Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for walking this path with me, through battlefields, memories, and shadows. Our journey is far from over. The next chapter awaits, where immortality begins and destinies unfold.

The tenth chapter of “The Immortals Waltz” has just been released, a small but vital bridge, and the penultimate chapter of Part One.  
          
          “The Young Lion” unfolds in the spring of 1861 at Galveston, Texas, where seventeen-year-old Jasper’s tactical brilliance turns the tide of battle. From winning his unit’s survival to earning a promotion to Lieutenant, Jasper walks the razor’s edge of loyalty and secrecy, forging dangerous alliances and risking all to save a condemned spy. His mother’s letters keep him tethered to home as whispers of his rising star reach wary ears.
          In this chapter, the weight of command and the shadow of war carve deep marks on Jasper’s soul, setting the stage for the loss of innocence and the fateful meeting with Amara in the chapters to come.
          In the next chapter, we will lose Jasper’s innocence and finally encounter Amara and her sisters, the moment that will forever change his path.  
          
          Thank you for continuing this journey with me as the story deepens and the stakes rise.

          As life grows busier, updates may become a little more unpredictable, yet I am doing everything I can to share the next chapter with you, hopefully tomorrow night.

I am excited to announce that chapter eight, “The Long Summer’s Shadow”, will be released today at 2:00 AM.
          
          Set in 1859, this chapter delves into the growing political and social tensions in Texas as the shadow of the Civil War looms closer. It captures Jasper’s inner transformation  his first steps toward leadership, grappling with the injustice surrounding him, and the quiet strength found in family bonds. Though many of the figures who once shaped him are absent, their memories linger, guiding his evolving sense of responsibility.
          You will witness Jasper taking on new duties on the plantation, facing the harsh realities of his world from whispered conversations about war and economic hardship to the shocking violence in nearby towns that shakes his faith in those he once trusted. Through it all, Jasper’s anger settles into a calm, determined resolve to not just witness history, but to shape it.

          In this intense chapter of 5,184 words, we are drawn deep into the harsh realities of slavery in Texas, a dark and harrowing part of Jasper’s past. Solomon’s story emerges not only as a vital chapter in the narrative but as a profound and haunting reflection of human suffering, strength, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the face of cruelty and injustice.

          In this newly published chapter, you will meet Keoma, a young Comanche boy whose path crosses with Jasper’s during a turbulent and fragile time. Their encounter is more than chance it becomes a quiet turning point, one that will leave its mark on Jasper’s heart and choices for years to come.  
          
          Following this, the next chapter will lead us to Solomon, an escaped slave whose courage and resilience challenge Jasper’s understanding of freedom, loyalty, and the cost of survival. Together, these two figures stand like silent milestones along Jasper’s journey, each representing a moment where empathy and morality outweigh the brutal demands of the world around him.  
          
          These aren’t just side stories,  they are fragments of Jasper’s soul, revealed through the people he dared to care for, even when doing so meant risking everything.
