My dearest fairies and other fey folk,
          
          It's my pleasure to announce that The Rubyix Saga will be continuing this year with its second arc! September 16th will see the first part of "Chapter 7: The Athenaeum" released right here on Wattpad.
          
          SYNOPSIS ARC 2
          Having arrived at Arthyrell Academy, Ehrynn can't shake the feeling she's been there before, but the staff of the Academy remains ever mysterious about her suspicions. Inbetween her first classes, she aims to find answers to the questions roaming in her mind, and in doing so her connections to her dormmates grow. But then, when a field trip goes horribly awry and the newfound group is put to the test in ways they're not prepared for, all of them are suddenly forced to reveal more about themselves than they cared to, and their brittle bond is challenged.

"The Rubyix Saga" is coming back to Wattpad!!
          
          I am delighted to announce that I have now officially COMPLETED the illustration process for the first arc of "The Rise of Nevadora" and will, thus, be bringing the story back for everyone here to enjoy!
          
          SCHEDULE
          The first arc will start publishing this Yuletide, meaning December 21st, with a chapter part every other day, and last until March 1st.
          ✧ 4 weeks left!
          
          SYNOPSIS
          It's been over a cycle since I was almost caught by the Hunters, since I was torn apart from my family and was thrown halfway across the dimension, to the Realm of Magic. They say Magic comes from who you are as a person, from your inner strength and determination to follow the path you're on- and if that's so, maybe I've lost it. Ever since that day I've been unable to spark even the tiniest bit of magical energy- or well, up until recently, that is. It all started after a slight deviation in this dream I've been having and an incident in the Nevadoran Forest- and now I suddenly got invited to study at a school for Magic, Arthyrell Academy. Will this finally lead me to the answers I've been seeking?

Hey everyruby,
          
          I've been thinking about this for a while, but I have decided to take the Wattpad version of "The Rise of Nevadora" offline. This is NOT permanent, however it will take a while before it comes back.
          
          With all the revisions happening in preparation for the audiobook version of the first arc- it has become quite a hassle to update all those little changes to the Wattpad version, as Wattpad doesn't really allow for ease of editing.
          
          That said, when it does come back, I'll be updating the first arc in a more organized schedule and marking it as complete once it's through. And I'll be sure to include the bonus material from the audiobook version, as well- such as the sprites for the characters and all of the outfit changes.
          
          If you still want to read through it, you very much still can! All currently available chapters are still very much up and readable on my website and you'll find links to my socials there, too, where I post frequent updates on the development of the story. https://therubyixsaga.jouwweb.nl/
          
          Keep Living the Magic,

Hey everyruby,
          I ran into some technical difficulties when trying to update the story- hence why I didn't publish the new chapter part yesterday- but I managed to work around it and it is now available to read here on Wattpad, too!
          
          If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know this, but the sixth chapter of the story (and thus the final chapter of arc 1 of the first book) will be releasing every month from here on out! The first release of every chapter part will occur on the official website for the project on the 13th, then the second release on the 27th here on Wattpad.
          
          In the mean time, I am working together with the VA's to bring the first chapter of the story to life in audiobook form! I've had the pleasure of listening to the voice lines they sent in and I'm absolutely blown away by these talented actors- super excited to share their efforts with you rubies soon! If you want to listen to a preview of what's to come, the official trailer for the first arc is out on YouTube!
          'Till then,
          Keep Living the Magic,

Hey everyruby!
          The time has arrived! Ever since last Friday, the trailer for the audiobook version of The Rise of Nevadora has been out on my YouTube channel (CJFrostthorn)!
          Behind the scenes, the audiobook team and I have been working to bring this project to life, and this is only the first small preview! We would appreciate it a lot if you could have a look and perhaps, if you happen to have a minute to spare, leave a like, comment and / or share it around!
          A big thank you to everyone for supporting the project! Let's make this a wonderful year filled with magic.
          Keep Living the Magic,
          C.J. Frostthorn

Hey everyruby!
          It’s almost time! This week’s Friday will be the release of the trailer for the audiobook version of the first arc of The Rise of Nevadora! I look forward to sharing the story with you all in this way, but, in order for the project to succeed, I need your help. I’m still looking for 4 out of 18 roles from the first arc, particularly Anthea, who plays a vital role in the first three chapters.
          If everyone who reads this message would be willing to take three minutes of their time to watch the trailer when it drops and leave a like, comment and / or share the video, we’d be able to reach as many as possible and increase the chance of filling in the final roles!
          Thank you so much for your support for this project, and as I always say,
          Keep Living the Magic,
          C. J. Frostthorn

Hey everyruby!
          It's been a while since I updated here on Wattpad, and that's because I've been making good progress in the preparation for the audiobook version of the story! The trailer is set to release in January, concurring with the eight year anniversary of the project, and I'm so excited to show you the world of Arthyrell in this new way!
          I've also taken a good long look at my goals for the story the upcoming time, and have devised an uploading schedule I think will be attainable for me on the long run as I move into a new stage of my personal life. I've added 7 story parts to the book here on Wattpad that will release every 13th and 27th of the month 'till April. From there, I want to keep releasing in the same pace (or every 13th if my new intern turns out more taxing than I can foresee now).
          All in all, more Magic is sure to come!
          Keep living the Magic,
          C.J. Frostthorn

Hey everyruby!
          I've got an exciting announcement for you rubies! I've opened auditions for the characters from the first arc of The Rise of Nevadora for an audiobook version of The Rubyix Saga.
          If you are a(n aspiring) voice actor over the age of 16, you might want to read through the casting call (linked below) and take your pick from the 15 different characters you can choose from!
          The auditions will likely run for a couple months, as I want to get the right fit for each of the characters and am in no hurry to start, but I will be giving the roles away as soon as I find a good fit, so don’t wait too long if you want to get a chance for the role(s) you favour.
          I am very excited to bring this novel to life in this new and exciting way, and I hope you are, too! And as always…
          Keep living the Magic

Hey everyruby,
          With chapter 2 all set and published here on Wattpad, I'll be moving along to chapter 3! Same pacing as the previous chapter, with updates on Tuesdays and Fridays respectively.
          After that, the pacing will slow down just a little, so I won't catch up with my illustrative work and run out of chapter parts to publish. I'm really excited to be sharing chapters 4 & 5 soon- and the final chapter for the first arc after that!
          Keep Living the Magic,
          CJFrostthorn

Hey everyruby,
          So far, so good- chapter 2 is coming along nicely and will receive its final update next Friday! After that, we'll move on to chapter 3, with another set of biweekly updates for you rubies to enjoy!
          
          On another note-
          My beta reader recently brought it to my attention that a line in my openingsscene (the scene after the prologue where Anthea and Ehrynn share a talk) didn't line up with later established information about Anthea's character, so I revisited the scene and found the prose to be rather outdated compared to my writing style these days. I've made some changes to the description, keeping the dialogue (mostly) intact, and added a brand new bit of dialogue at the end of the scene to end it on a nicer and less abrupt note.
          Keep Living the Magic,
          CJFrostthorn
