Counting Down (Okoto 579)

Strike of the Hour will release Friday, October 23rd!

 

Karios has been kind enough to work on some illustrations for the Okoto 579 series, so as thanks I have agreed to write a new short story starring a character of his design. Set after the end of The Failure‘s Claim, Ekimu’s journey across Okoto has taken him to the Region of Ice, where a fellow blacksmith offers him shelter. The smith has a secret, however, and Ekimu may come to realize that a very shocking change is coming.

So soon?!

 

I didn't know you could write that fast! I'm assuming it's around the length of "the Failure's Claim"?

It's a fair bit shorter, actually.  This story's more focused, and I was worried that if I drew it out too much the dialogue might get repetitive.  It's still a decent length, though--over 3,000 words.

Nice. My real question is, though; Did you enjoy writing it. I basically told you to make it, so I'm wondering if you actually enjoyed it

 

BE HONEST.

Yes, it was an interesting thing to try.  This story is going to change things, but its consequences aren't shown and are difficult to guess, so I think it creates a strong feeling of anticipation to see how things play out.  A story like this should build excitement for the future even more!

Well I'm glad to hear that it was at the least interesting. I kind of had the idea for this a while ago, but never advanced more than the core concept.I'm acctualy hyped to see the story.
