Yup, the release date for Inner Peace is August 1st! Just a little over a week away! I’m so excited 😀
So mark your calendars and get ready to go back to Ferrum!
I can’t wait! And now, here’s an excerpt for y’all.
“Leave this place and do not come back until you are at least able to give us a battle.” Ignis commanded.
I looked over at the chimera and noticed that all four heads were glaring at me with open hostility. I took that as my queue to obey and hastily made my way back down the path and out through the metal door. I heard the flapping growing dimmer and assumed that it must have sunk back into the fire or wherever it was when we had arrived.
I stepped out of the humid room and buckled over, gasping and resting my hands on my knees. That was definitely not what I had been expecting and I didn’t know if I really ever wanted to go back there.
Strength was right behind me and shut the door. It then just stood beside me, waiting for me.
“You know, instead of taking me to see that thing you could have just told me about it,” I snapped as I stood up straight and glared at my being.
It just stared at me with a blank expression on its face.
“Fine. Whatever. You can send me back to myself now.” I had my arms crossed so tightly I wasn’t sure that I would be able to uncross them.
Strength smirked and said, “I knew I still had the stronger connection with you than Peace did.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I snapped angrily.
“It means, you are going to make Peace’s work a lot harder and mine easier. You just continue to listen to me and you’ll have the rest of my powers before you know it.”
I tilted my head to the side and squinted my eyes as I thought. “But, Peace told me that following only one of my beings will probably throw everything out of balance… I’m supposed to listen to you both and then decide. I have access to Peace so I’m not just going to ignore her in order to make you even stronger than what you are. In fact, I probably need to keep strengthening her so that she can keep you in your place better!”
Strength’s face darkened and it snarled, “Fine, but don’t expect to receive any more of my powers until you can prove yourself to me.”
I was going to make a snappy retort when I felt my vision shifting as everything started to go dark. So Strength was going to kick me out of my dream world just because I pissed it off? I was definitely going to go to Peace next time I had a free moment.
