I’ve added a short scene to the recent Part 127.
Originally, I had Kazuko give Shadow Moon aura concealing gems FOR the vampire island journey. I decided to loose that part, however, since the vampires were going to uncover their true identity regardless, and they don’t sense auras as well as the angels; it makes more sense to introduce them for the Angel arc instead.
When I wrote this chapter originally, I didn’t include this part of Echo asking Kazuko for the items since I wasn’t sure if they’d use them still. And now I’m finally drafting up the next part of the plot, I’ve decided that they absolutely would need them! And so, here’s this extra scene to fit with the soon to be written Angel arc!
Angel arc - a little context:
Sorry updates are taking a while. The angel arc is a hard one to sort out because it’s actually the only missing plot I have in the storyline. Originally, this arc happens after loads of OTHER events that I have as draft chapters. Years ago, I reorganised the plot, drafting tons of chapters until they could fit into the new storyline. And now I finally have to write up this Angel arc so that I can publish the many many chapters that have been written up, ready, for years.
It’s taken a while to piece together the new structure, and I’ve honestly been avoiding this arc because of how much more lore and plot I have to consider first. I need to ask myself what I want out of this arc… what the characters will find out, how it will challenge them and what the results will be. And the biggest thing… I have to decide HOW THE ANGEL WORLD WILL WORK!!! Yup. To write this new arc I literally have to decide how an Angel world would work in my story, my world. What does it look like? How does it function? How does it link to the existing rules of my world?
So, in conclusion, bear with me :)
