La-di-da-da-da-da ... I don't have an opening.
Um, okay so May. Shout out to anyone graduating or to those finishing up yet another year of school. Round of applause to you all, you did it. For those going back in the fall, keep on chuggin'. That's all I got for an opening.

Ruben's epilogue should be done by this month. If it feels like it's not because brain, then I'll release his Chapter 10 and the Epilogue will just be there with the final product + the ...

The epilogue is here and I was like, hey why not do a fun little poll for the names of the twins that will be present. So winner wins! This will be canon! So if they ever appear in prompts and short stories or future stories then this will be their names. But of course, in game, you can choose whatever names you wish for them.
And no, I'm not telling you genders.

I'm going to be honest. I feel like I've done a Batch #2 but I have no clue and I don't really care to check, so we're going to call this #2 and any previous ones wannabes who wish they could be #2.
These were mostly requested (all but one really) but due to fantasy brain still being the dominant brain, I couldn't really deep dive into them to be entire full fledged requests.
If you want to feel even better about that last prompt then listen to late night therapy by flower...

As you may know, the final version of Ruben's route will have three additional chapters + an exclusive CG.
Two of those three chapters will be set in stone for every route. One always being the wedding itself and the second one being nearly the same thing but not always as some routes kind of twist that. Ruben's second chapter will be family time. The third will always be a patreon voted one though. So vote for your favorite!

Another request! This one is NSFW so, NSFW warning for some M/M content. The requester wanted a little info on the first (and only time) that Ruben and Tozraz ... flew the forbidden flight pattern ... that was so horrible and I love it.
Okay but seriously yea, this is that. This is very much canon, this happened. And before you ask if this will ever cause a rift due to Phoenix, no. The two have long since gotten over this moment. Gotten over ... not forgotten ...

"So, tonight, you will make yet another foolish attempt then?"
"A blizzard is coming."
"Which is why this plan is so idiotic."
"If I can beat out the blizzard and make it to the village before it can hit, I will be safe. They will lose my path, and I will have already moved on by the time they pick it up." You roll up the map with a nod of your head; freedom will be within your grasp. Gathering everything you need, you lay out your clothes and head towards the bed. A simple ...

A request! And yea ... I actually like these. They're not as heavy a load on monthly stories and can give good lore and blah blah blah. I kinda ended up mixing the two requests I got into one for this specific entry but any other entries I do will be a bit more focused on him.

You head to the left and continue forth until you reach the study from before. The natural light that once pervaded the room is no more. Instead, the moon's light casts a dim ethereal glow combated by the harsh orange radiance originating from the candles. You enter, your fingers skimming the top of the desk and nearby table. You ponder if this feeling will ever cease. Maybe the longer you're here, or perhaps never, for they are only memories. They dance and trapeze on the edge of your consci...

Obviously the biggest news is ToA at the moment and the fact that Ruben is literally one chapter away from being done and that chapter has already been started. At the time of writing this I'm at 6k words. I know ToA is an entire game but these routes feel like they could hold their own separately and so it really...

"So is this what it has come to, brother? You can't figure out your own emotions, and so you lash out at me, of all people?" Toz's body trembles as he grabs hold of Ruben's arms, "I made a promise that I intend to keep. So if you wish to fight me, then know that it's a beating because I will raise neither fist nor sword to you." One of his hands moves to rest on the back of Ruben's head, a movement that has your heart skip a beat before calming.

This is not March. I know. It's close enough damnit. But I really need to go ahead and type this out as more of a warning.
So! Most of you know that February is weird because it was my break month pretty month. I went on a mini vacay and enjoyed my birthday so February is always just kinda weird in general. I thought I would be able to get way more work done and that's where the issue comes in.
March will be active, but it will be weirdly active. So if you're already staring at me...

You walk the last few steps until you are at his side, noticing him stiffen and how he fixates his eyes on his clans' members.
"Do you wish to join them?"
"In the past, I would never let such an opportunity go." His hand balls into a fist, but he releases it shortly after, "but now I'm just tired. I only want to bring this journey to an end and finish what I started."
You frown, "you sound as if you have given up."

Technically, the phoenixes control three regions in their area. The northern or volcanic region, the southern or forested region, and the western or coastal region. Again, technically as there is a fourth, the central, this area exists purely due to political reasons. The central region consists of all three cultures that the other three are known for.
It should be noted that the regions are purely cultural and have no bearing on the type of phoenixes that come from there, as ther...

“This is you.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is where your mind goes when it seeks out its private corner. In a way, this is your soul reflected back at you in a way your eyes and mind to properly comprehend. You are unaware of it, but when you dream or when you seek out a place within yourself for solace, this is it.”

It's the best month! Woo woo. Actually, no it's the second best month but gotta represent for all the Aquarius right now, so we won't talk about that. And though I will be updating for like the monthly story, this month will be slow due to me taking a break in the second half.
Again, I'm really more so working on writing everything so there's a lot of dullness, I guess? Like a lot of stuff is just repeated because what can I do? I won't have the big headers since, well you guys know.

Lamentations of an Angel - Rahim Origin Story
If anyone doesn't like the grey background with white text, tell me and I can add two different versions. The white irritates my eyes so much and normally I'll just convert it to white background after but it felt like everything was reverberating off the screen so I decided to keep it.

“Your mother?”
She nods, “I don’t speak about her a lot. She died when I was very young. Young enough for me not to miss her presence but also to remember that she was there.” She pushes some of her hair out of her face and sighs, “the pack would follow the traditions of the tribe we descended from, making dreamcatchers for the children to be hungover their beds.”
“To chase the bad dreams away?”

Changed my mind. Came into 2022 lying, yep. Honestly, it makes more sense to do the monthly story this month if Amari's story is coming out in February or March.
The list is small this time around as I'm trying to not do anyone that will give too many spoilers. If anyone can think of another then I'll also add them as long as it also falls into a "no spoiler" category.
*Note: Asher's will include him with a crush cos, well that is part of his origins.

This idea literally came to me at the last minute. It's a mix of not wanting to overwork my hands but still wanting to put out some decent things for December. So this is not like usual. There will be one - four each week with different themes and each prompt will be focused on each of the four series and revolve around the theme.
