Glossary, at popular request. I am bad at these, so I apologize in advance. These are minor plot points one may have forgotten with time. (Also, I changed the order of chapters. I thought last chapter would be a proper end to the volume, but I was wrong. Please read 225 and consider that the end to the volume.)
Soul Magic is something discovered by Maximus Draken, who left Legacies scattered throughout the world. Doevm has found one of these that allows him to manipulate people with his voice. Frey seems to have an immunity, a result of his inheritance, the hero's power, which allows him to eat souls.
Doevm currently has a book on soulmagic from the Legacy he found at the den of ghouls at the front lines.
Kilot: dwarven blacksmith who made Doevm's and Frey's gear.
Frey has a Bloodwood spear that absorbs blood to repair itself.
Thomas has a spear with a lesser version of the rose venom at the tip. The venom paralyses the opponent, but is non-lethal.
So, I am not dead. Just a reminder that I am on "break" until November 15th. By "break" I mean I will be outlining the next arc. I think in my persuit to become a better writer, I forgot a fundimental concept. I always looked at rules and recommendation, forgetting that I am an instinctual-type writer. I literally write better without rules. I can't think while wondering if I am following the rules. (Quick disclaimer: There is nothing wrong with rules or those who write with them in mind. There is no "best" way to write. Instincutal is just my preference). I have also forgotten that I need pen and paper to slow my mind down and get my thoughts out. A keyboard is too quick and I can't focus on individual thoughts. You'll see a significant difference in quality in this next arc.
If I missed anything in the glossary or you would like anything clarified, please let me know in the comments. And no, I could not make this chapter free even if I wanted to.
