To everyone walking the road of Still Us with me,
Odric Shadowrend hereāwith a sincere apology.
Iām truly sorry for not publishing Still Us ā Chapter 26 on time today. This past week has been rather busy, and unfortunately, I was not able to find the time I needed to properly get the chapter published when it was meant to go live.
That is on me, and I sincerely apologize.
I never want to make anyone feel as though their time, patience, or support is taken for granted. Youāve all been incredibly kind in continuing to read, support, and follow this story as it unfolds, and I truly appreciate that more than I can properly express.
I hope you can forgive the delay.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for continuing to walk beside Samuel and Sarah on this journey. Still Us means a great deal to me, and so do the readers who have chosen to stay with it.
The chapter will arrive as soon as Iām able to place it before you with the care it deserves.

To everyone still walking this road with me,
Odric Shadowrend hereāwith an honest apology.
Iām truly sorry for not publishing Still Us ā Chapter 20 on schedule as usual. Work has been extremely busy lately, and Iāve been exhausted from it, while also dealing with some personal matters behind the scenes. Because of that, I wasnāt able to have the chapter ready at its usual time.
I never want to leave you waiting without a word, and I sincerely apologize for the delay.
Moving forward, Iām going to double my efforts to make sure future chapters of Still Us are published on their regular schedule: Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:00 AM.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your continued support of this story. It means more than I can properly say.
The road continuesāand Iām grateful youāre still here walking it with me.

And donāt worryāthereās definitely more ahead. This is only the beginning, both for this story and for whatās still to come. Thank you for your support and for being here. ā Odric Shadowrend

To those who have been walking this road with me,
Odric Shadowrend hereāwith something Iām both excited and proud to finally share.
Iāve officially begun the process of self-publishing Still Us on Amazon.
This is a big step for meāand for this story. What started as quiet moments on the page is now moving toward something youāll be able to hold in your hands, return to, and keep close in a different way.
As I move through this process, Iāll be sure to keep you all updatedāfrom progress milestones to the moment itās fully ready. And when that time comes, Iāll let you know when youāll be able to acquire your own copy of Still Us, whether thatās in paperback, hardcover, or e-book.
This story has always been about connection, memory, and the moments that stay with us. The idea of it existing beyond the screen⦠that means more to me than I can fully put into words.
Thank you for your support, your patience, and for believing in this story alongside me.
More soon.

@Tessonja_24 , I appreciate thatātruly. Itās a special feeling knowing that people are looking forward to holding this story just as much as I am to sharing it. Moments like that make the entire journey feel worth it. Iāll keep you updated every step of the way. Weāre getting closer. ā Odric Shadowrend

@aweler776 , Thank youāthat truly means a lot to hear. The idea that something which started as quiet words on a page might soon be something you can actually hold⦠Itās a surreal feeling, and hearing your excitement for that moment makes it even more meaningful. Iām really grateful youāve been here, watching this journey unfold from the beginning. That kind of support stays with me in ways I donāt take lightly. I canāt wait for the day youāre holding Still Us in your hands, too. ā Odric Shadowrend

@rexxea67 , Thank youātruly. Reaching this point with Still Us has been a meaningful step for me, and hearing that kind of support makes it feel even more real. Itās one thing to write a story⦠Itās another to take that next step and place it out into the world in a more permanent way. I really appreciate you rooting for meāit carries more weight than you might think. Iām excited to share more as the process moves forward. ā Odric Shadowrend

To everyone who has stepped into Still Us and chosen to stay,
Odric Shadowrend hereāwith a full heart and a quiet moment of gratitude.
First and foremost, thank you. Truly.
The amount of love and support youāve shown for Still Us has honestly taken me by surprise. I knew this story was something different for me, something more grounded and personalābut I didnāt expect it to be received with this much warmth, this quickly. Iām genuinely blown away, and I donāt take a single read, vote, or comment for granted.
If you may have missed it, Chapter 7: Sixth Grade ā Microsoft was published yesterday, Tuesday, March 17th.
And Iām happy to share that Chapter 8 has already been completed and is scheduled to be published this coming Friday, March 20th, at 10:00 AM.
Without giving too much away, this next chapter leans into something Iāve been quietly buildingāthose shared moments between friends that start to feel like something more, even if no one quite knows how to name it yet. The kind of chapter where the atmosphere matters just as much as the words spoken.
Once again, thank youāfor your support, your kindness, and for walking this story with me as it continues to unfold.
It means more than you know.

To those who have walked this long road with me,
Odric Shadowrend here, with a milestone Iāve been looking forward to sharing.
Iām honoredāand honestly a little emotionalāto say that the final chapter and the epilogue of The Last Riftborne ā Book I: The Child of The Solarium have now been published.
Book I is officially complete.
From the first storm-touched night to the final steps of this opening arc, youāve walked beside Divuad through every quiet moment, every awakening truth, and every trial that shaped the beginning of his story. I want to sincerely thank each of you who stayed on this journey with me. Your support, your patience, and your willingness to step into this world meant more than I can properly express.
For now, Iāll be taking a short break from The Last Riftborne. Not because the story is finishedāfar from itābut because the next part of Divuadās journey deserves the time and care it takes to build properly.
During this time, Iāll be focusing a bit more on Still Us, while also giving myself the space to map out what comes next in the saga carefully.
That next step will be The Last Riftborne ā Book II: In The Shadow of The Adept, where Divuadās story continues⦠under heavier skies, with deeper trials waiting beyond the Solarium.
But for now, allow me to say this one more time:
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for walking the first road with me.
The story isnāt over.
Itās only just beginning.

To everyone who has stepped onto this road with Still Us,
Odric Shadowrend here, writing with a full and grateful heart.
I want to sincerely thank each of you for the interest youāve shown and the support youāve given to Still Us, my very first romantic drama. Seeing readers connect with Samuel and Sarahās storyāchapter by chapter, moment by momentāhas meant more to me than I can properly put into words. Truly, thank you for being here and for giving this story your time.
Iām also excited to share a small piece of news.
Still Us ā Chapter 6: The First Jacket is set to be published this coming Friday at 10:00 AM.
Without giving anything away, Iāll just say that this chapter carries one of those quiet moments that doesnāt seem very big on the surface⦠but means far more than either of them realizes at the time. The kind of moment that, years later, people remember with a smile.
And I promise you this: Still Us is a slow-burn story by design. The best moments are still aheadāthe beautiful ones that make your heart feel warm⦠and the harder ones that test it. Both are part of the journey.
Thank you again for reading, for commenting, and for walking this story with me.

To those walking this quieter road with me,
Odric Shadowrend here with a small reminder before the morning bell rings.
Still Us ā Chapter 2: Playground Gravity is set to be published today, Saturday, March 7th, at 10:00 AM.
This next chapter continues the early steps of Samuel and Sarahās storyāthose small childhood moments where something simple, like laughter across a playground, can quietly rearrange the world without either of them realizing it yet.
If you decide to read it today, I truly hope you enjoy the next step of their journey.
As always, thank you for being here and for walking these pages with me.

To those who have walked many roads with me,
Odric Shadowrend hereāwith news of a new path beginning.
Iām genuinely excited to share that Iāve officially begun publishing a new story, a romantic drama titled Still Us. Itās a very different kind of journey from The Last Riftborneāno ancient bastions, no starwells stirring in the darkābut a story just as close to the heart. This one explores love, memory, and the quiet moments that shape two lives over time.
Today, at 10:00 AM, Still Us ā Chapter 1: The Broken Crayon was published.
The journey has only just begun, and Iām grateful to invite you along for it.
Looking ahead, Chapter 2 ā Playground Gravity is scheduled to be published on Tuesday, March 10th, at 10:00 AM.
If you choose to step into this story, I hope you find something meaningful waiting thereāsomething tender, honest, and worth feeling.
As always, thank you for reading and for continuing to walk these many roads with me.
