H.A. Paaso's latest update for The Hunter Saga

Aug 17, 2016

Good midnight!

Hoo, it’s 11:49pm and I have to wake up at five! But now, I have the 7th chapter of The Hunter Saga ready, I hope you’ll enjoy it.
It takes long for me to write a 5-minute chapter, but I absolutely have to know what materials the ancient fishermen used and what was the way like from Temple of Apollo to Kirrha. Now I know. So much research in this chapter, so, very much. But it’s like the pain you get from doing just the right amount of exercise, it feels pretty darn good!

Now we’ve been through our first little history lesson. The Siege of Kirrha is truly an interesting one, since the doctor who supposedly did the thing with the water, was, according to one likely source, Nebros, an ancestor of Hippocrates! And presumably this very action was the beginning of the modern day oath every doctor takes. So fascinating! Very gruesome, but fascinating.

I had a mind to have Helene slapped at the one point of the chapter but no. I will still not give up on my ideals. This work of fiction does not and never will promote any such issues as domestic violence, that is what I wish to achieve. Low remarks on characters are unfortunate, but they don’t get rewarded at any time, I’m going to take care of that. And if any of you ever notice something like that happening, I would be glad if you showed me my errors.

I’ve made calculations and according to them, this first origin story will take 20 chapters in total. I think that’s pretty good. I will take that as a goal for the two other origin stories as well, and so we have reading material already for a few hours -- in a nice bite-sized chunks.

The first origin story is the only one I’ll release before publishing, but I will reveal identities and portraits of the other two hunters, so that you’ll know who you will be dealing with.

The cores of Eudoxia and Helene are beginning to unravel. In the other hand, what would you expect from someone Apollo planned to be born. In the other, is he even such a great dude? The curse was pretty awful. And what about the ever lurking djinni. And the djinni-half of Helene. Ooooooo!

Alright! It is now 0:18 and I really need to go to sleep. So, good night! Sleep tight! Thank you for your support,

As grateful as ever,

-H.A.
