《Transcontinental》3.22: Afterword & World Map 3
Advertisement
Wooo! Finally complete with another Volume! Rejoice, yaaaaay!
To be honest, this was one of the arcs I was most worried about, since it took place almost entirely in a single Dungeon. I didn’t think I’d be able to write a lot about it, but it seems my worries were unfounded. The cast this time was also completely different, with Lune being put in a situation where he doesn’t know a single person present!
The theme for this Volume was “What if nothing went Lune’s way?” so I intended to make every single party member extremely selfish, ill-mannered or just unreasonable, which would lead to Lune losing his temper and being put at his wit’s end a lot. That being said, I (much like Lune) grew to like them quite a lot, so I couldn’t bring myself to make them out to be unlikeable (also, it wouldn’t make sense in a story sense).
Here’s another fun fact: in the original draft for this Volume, no one apart from Lune survived, but I saw the potential of having someone like Marina around to be way too large to just discard, so I ended up having her live as well. She’s just a bright ol’ ray of sunshine in this damp environment of Sibirus, and I can’t wait to write about all sorts of anecdotes about her in the other continents and such.
Speaking of characters who are more rarely mentioned in this Volume, Lemmy and Lee have been shunned from the bandits. It’s a bit of a shame in its own right, since they no longer have a place to call home, but who knows, maybe we’ll hear more about them in the future?
Now that I think about it, I’m already at Volume 4 of the story… Geez! That’s a lot of words, damn! I’m actually kind of getting ecstatic about this revelation, and the best part is I’m not even a fifth of the way there! I wonder how I’ll feel like when I finish the last Volume… Crap, now I’m sad.

Gahh! Melancholy thoughts, begone! This is a moment of bliss, so we should be happy! Thank you all so much for reading this far into the story, I’m gladdened to hear there are people who get to kill time by picking it up and reading for a bit! I’m on Cloud Nine the moment I see a new rating, comment, ranking, view or anything similar, I couldn’t thank you enough!

Shadow Falls
If you wanted to protect someone you loved, how far would you go, and what would you be willing to sacrifice? This question is at the core of this emotional rollercoaster of the book, Shadow Falls: the Rise and Fall of Erida VanIsle. This book emerged from four years of collaborative storytelling centering on the main character, Erida VanIsle, written by author Myra VanIsle. In this book, VanIsle goes beyond the events that led to Erida's sacrifice and explores forty-five years of the cost she paid to protect the sister she loved more than life itself. Shadow Falls explores the family tragedy which led to the separation of two sisters on completely different paths polar opposite of each other. While Erida set upon a path of darkness and power, Myra set out to be a beacon of light and hope bringing justice and peace to others. Be warned, the story VanIsle tells is dark and not easy, because you can't have the light without the dark.
