@OdricShadowrend
Hello oddric I want to ask did you get message from a promoter named Lauren or Constança Correia Duarte here because I hav a bad feeling
To everyone walking the road of Still Us with me,
Odric Shadowrend here—with a sincere apology.
I’m truly sorry for not publishing Still Us — 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. You’ve 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 I’m able to place it before you with the care it deserves.

To everyone still walking this road with me,
Odric Shadowrend here—with an honest apology.
I’m truly sorry for not publishing Still Us — Chapter 20 on schedule as usual. Work has been extremely busy lately, and I’ve been exhausted from it, while also dealing with some personal matters behind the scenes. Because of that, I wasn’t 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, I’m 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 continues—and I’m grateful you’re still here walking it with me.
— Odric Shadowrend ️
Loved your book! Hope to see more of you
@xCherr Thank you—truly. That means more to me than I can properly put into words. I’m really glad you connected with Still Us, and I appreciate you taking the time to say that. And don’t worry—there’s definitely more ahead. This is only the beginning, both for this story and for what’s still to come. Thank you for your support and for being here. — Odric Shadowrend
To those who have been walking this road with me,
Odric Shadowrend here—with something I’m both excited and proud to finally share.
I’ve officially begun the process of self-publishing Still Us on Amazon.
This is a big step for me—and for this story. What started as quiet moments on the page is now moving toward something you’ll be able to hold in your hands, return to, and keep close in a different way.
As I move through this process, I’ll be sure to keep you all updated—from progress milestones to the moment it’s fully ready. And when that time comes, I’ll let you know when you’ll be able to acquire your own copy of Still Us, whether that’s 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.
— Odric Shadowrend
@Tessonja_24 , I appreciate that—truly. It’s 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. I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. We’re getting closer. — Odric Shadowrend
@aweler776 , Thank you—that 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… It’s a surreal feeling, and hearing your excitement for that moment makes it even more meaningful. I’m really grateful you’ve been here, watching this journey unfold from the beginning. That kind of support stays with me in ways I don’t take lightly. I can’t wait for the day you’re holding Still Us in your hands, too. — Odric Shadowrend
@rexxea67 , Thank you—truly. 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. It’s one thing to write a story… It’s another to take that next step and place it out into the world in a more permanent way. I really appreciate you rooting for me—it carries more weight than you might think. I’m excited to share more as the process moves forward. — Odric Shadowrend
To everyone who has stepped into Still Us and chosen to stay,
Odric Shadowrend here—with a full heart and a quiet moment of gratitude.
First and foremost, thank you. Truly.
The amount of love and support you’ve shown for Still Us has honestly taken me by surprise. I knew this story was something different for me, something more grounded and personal—but I didn’t expect it to be received with this much warmth, this quickly. I’m genuinely blown away, and I don’t take a single read, vote, or comment for granted.
If you may have missed it, Chapter 7: Sixth Grade — Microsoft was published yesterday, Tuesday, March 17th.
And I’m 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 I’ve been quietly building—those 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 you—for your support, your kindness, and for walking this story with me as it continues to unfold.
It means more than you know.
— Odric Shadowrend
To those who have walked this long road with me,
Odric Shadowrend here, with a milestone I’ve been looking forward to sharing.
I’m honored—and honestly a little emotional—to say that the final chapter and the epilogue of The Last Riftborne — 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, you’ve 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, I’ll be taking a short break from The Last Riftborne. Not because the story is finished—far from it—but because the next part of Divuad’s journey deserves the time and care it takes to build properly.
During this time, I’ll 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 — Book II: In The Shadow of The Adept, where Divuad’s 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 isn’t over.
It’s 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 you’ve shown and the support you’ve given to Still Us, my very first romantic drama. Seeing readers connect with Samuel and Sarah’s story—chapter by chapter, moment by moment—has meant more to me than I can properly put into words. Truly, thank you for being here and for giving this story your time.
I’m also excited to share a small piece of news.
Still Us — Chapter 6: The First Jacket is set to be published this coming Friday at 10:00 AM.
Without giving anything away, I’ll just say that this chapter carries one of those quiet moments that doesn’t 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 ahead—the 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.
— Odric Shadowrend ️
To those walking this quieter road with me,
Odric Shadowrend here with a small reminder before the morning bell rings.
Still Us — 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 Sarah’s story—those 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.
— Odric Shadowrend ️
To those who have walked many roads with me,
Odric Shadowrend here—with news of a new path beginning.
I’m genuinely excited to share that I’ve officially begun publishing a new story, a romantic drama titled Still Us. It’s a very different kind of journey from The Last Riftborne—no ancient bastions, no starwells stirring in the dark—but 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 — Chapter 1: The Broken Crayon was published.
The journey has only just begun, and I’m grateful to invite you along for it.
Looking ahead, Chapter 2 — 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 there—something tender, honest, and worth feeling.
As always, thank you for reading and for continuing to walk these many roads with me.
