Offerings to the circus from an audience that now seems somehow changed… 🎪🖤✨ Subbing “offering” for “payment” From The Mycellium Forest (Book 3) 💫 Kickstarter is live! 💫 Help bring this story to life… #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 5, Ætheren POV:

The audience erupted in applause, and the performers all returned to the center to bow and wave as flowers and other offerings rained down around them. As they filed out of the tent, Ætheren gathered the little offerings scattered about the circus floor. The audience looked… different, somehow; a weight lifted, a certain shimmer about them.

It wasn’t the first time he had noticed it. It was always the same—and although Ætheren didn’t fully understand the magic that happened here; he knew enough to know it was real.

With his hands full, Ætheren, with Grak on his heels, made his way to the rear chamber of the tent and dropped the many offerings into a bin.

From draft four of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 10, Isyra POV:

Morgan picked up a feather pen from her desk and busied herself writing something. 

Zama’s breath. Isyra hadn’t meant to drag everyone into this. She glared at Korrin. What game was he playing? “We don’t need your help,” she said to him. “Ætheren and I can do this on our own.”

Korrin just laughed out loud, and Finn rolled his eyes.

“You can’t stay here,” Morgan said, ignoring Isyra. “The circus needs to stop performing—for now—to get away from people figuring out what we’re doing, but also to get away from the gods if they are now watching.”

She handed a parchment to Finn. “You will go to Thalis. Scope it out. See if it is a place the circus can move to. Take this to the bank and retrieve the money you need. You have one moon to return and report back to me.”

Elijwa encourages Isaac to see Mæve for healing, but, as always, it is complicated between them… 🎪🖤✨ From The Mycellium Forest (Book 3) Kickstarter prelaunch is live! Launches 9/8 🔗 in bio #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

From draft three of Book 3 (TMF), chapter 3, Elijwa POV:

Elijwa did her best to smile warmly as she moved closer to Isaac and put her hand on his shoulder. “When was the last time you saw Mæve?” Her mother had found a concoction of the makrial flower and ellindrium’s star that helped with the Malice, especially early on when Elijwa and Isaac had returned to Eod. Mæve had been working on it while they were still in the world of dreams clearly hoping Isaac would one day join them again.

However, the mixture was no longer as potent. Isaac’s doses got higher, but still the medicine was losing its effectiveness—the Malice was getting stronger.
