Thomas took a deep breath. His hand, which was wrapped tight around an improvised spear and its launcher, shook against his will. He was in the same area where he and the rest of the group had fought the Bullfrogs. He could still remember the spot where he had almost drowned, and the destruction was littered throughout the area. Many shallow beds of water crisscrossed ahead of him. While it had only been a few Bullfrogs before, he was sure that, with his luck, there would be more.
Doevm and the rest of the group were hiding just out of sight. Like last time, they had lay down in the water, where bits of plants obscured their bodies. Three bamboo sticks jutted out of the water. All around Thomas's little patch of soil were all the improvised spears that Doevm and Frey had made. They were stabbed into the soil and ready to pull out at any second.
So the contest is still going for anyone who still wants to enter and ends tomorrow on 9/12/20. I'll announce the winner on 9/13/20. Just remember that you chose how Doevm got the ability, not how he uses it. Also, I might display the winner's spell at a few chapters later than I initially anticipated. I know the exact scene it will be used, but I've rewritten this arc three or four times as I've been going (which I usually do, don't panic). Stuff got pushed back. But I think I finally know everything that is going to fit into place. I just need to write a final outline and then I can really get into things. And I mean REALLY get into things. I think, for the first time in my writting career, I'm going to be happy with nearly all of the arc and how it turns out. (Not saying I don't like my writing but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to writing).
