The Aeluryn Chronicles (Part I)

ATTENTION: POTENTIAL (IF NOT DEFINITE) SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!

__________________________________________________________________________________

************FOR TOTAL SECRETS-LEVEL EYES ONLY************

The following are samples from tablets of written Aeluryn (in Aelur alphabet) myths, stories, and historical records, each radiodated c.a. 74000 BCE. These amberite-coated limestone tablets were discovered by the McGill U. Pinnacle Point Paleontology Group on 07/15/31 at the Pinnacle Point paleontological cave-site, Western Cape Division, South Africa Sector, SumAfrica Consolidate, and fully translated by early 2036 before being classified under Total Secrets-Level Protocols.

For each excerpt, the numbers indicate tablet number, paragraph, and line(s). Original styles for syntax, grammar and punctuation were preserved in the translations.

1.2.1-2

From nothingness to existence, chaos to order/

The Nine Lord Creators, all things above, below: that, they dreamt.

Fire, earth, water, air, Day Orb, Night Orb, everything in the skies, Life/

Along with our world of Origin, the Nine’s Everchanging Dream: that, it created.

3.1.1-3

Before the register of events, before Unity/

Only Ungifted Peoples, upon our world of Origin: that, they walked.

The Everchanging Dream of the Lord Creators/

To one favored Ungifted tribe, fragments of their Divinities: that, it Gifted.

Fire, lightning, mind whispering, will force, healing, foreseeing, shifting, great might/
Along with thundering shout, all of these the favored tribe: that, they gained.

3.3.1-3

Then Ungifted upon Gifted—envy, fear, torment/

Our Aelur Forebearers, the Great Flight: that, they ventured.
Away from Frozen Wastes, Towering Mountains, rivers, great plains/

Our Forebearers through dangers, the threshold of Origin: that, they reached.

Hills, grasses, forests, by Endless Sea—full of life and riches/
Our joyful Forebearers in these warm lands, First City Lemaethyr: that, they found.

4.2.1-4

The Aelyr kingdom, abundance, prosperity, safety/

By Gifted prowess, blood, our Aelur Ancestors: that, they established.

Then through strife, greed, corruption, oppression, murder, enslavement/

The Nine Clans, into the Nine Houses: that, they became.

Aelur against Aelur, war, destruction, death/

The rival Nine Houses, blood, loss: that, they brought.

The Clans of Gifted Great Might, Gifted Great Shout, ill-fated calamitous battle/
Houses Maederyn, Sumaeshyr, mutual annihilation: that, they met.

5.4.1-3

Despite ruin, disease, spiteful Ungifted invaders/

The remaining Seven Houses, Six with their wars of wrath, hate: that, they continued.

The other House, Holy, never warrior, always neutral, respected by all others/

House Saekeryn, auguries to the other Six as needed for a price: that, they provided.

Then Archseer J’radin an Saekeryn—insights from the Nine’s Everchanging Dream/
An Archlord of Power, Blessed Ruler above all in Unity: that, he foresaw.

Quick Psiarch: Reckoning Update + Sad News About Psiarch: Rising Goodreads Reviews

I almost completed the second chapter of Part II of Psiarch: Reckoning (i.e. that's almost 12 chapters done total, out of a projected 30 or so). I know things are/have been progressing very slowly over these past months (for various personal/family reasons I'd rather not go into at this time), but at least they are/have been going surely nonetheless. 😔

On another subject, I found out the number of Goodreads reviews for Psiarch: Rising dropped from 16 to 13, resulting in a drop from 4.5/5 stars to 4.23/5 stars in the overall rating of the book. It is what it is, I suppose... 😕

In any event, I'm just thankful the overall ratings still remain at/above the 4/5 stars score 😅.

Keep on rockin' regardless, eh? 👍

P.S. In case you haven't yet, go grab your copy of Psiarch: Rising from one of the outlets listed here.

Twitter/X No More... Now On Bluesky

Well, about three weeks ago, some moron moderator on Twitter/X decided that I was 'engaged in inauthentic behavior/platform manipulation/spam'.😦

Let's see: since 2018 on that platform, all I did was...

1) make 0-3 posts a day about Psiarch: Rising with links to here and/or Goodreads reviews, as well as appropriate #hashtags used by all authors on that platform (and I did this at a much lower frequency than most authors);

2) make occasional posts announcing any new Psiarch's Hideout entry (with a link to said entry herein and appropriate #hashtags used by all authors and/or bloggers on that platform);

3) repost 0-5 #writerslift posts a day and participating in them by replying with a post about my book (with same links as above), as invited by the original posters and like all other authors do on that platform;

4) reply a "thank you" to anyone that reposted any of my posts/replies of my book, like a lot of other authors do on that platform, and courtesy/gratitude-repost one of their posts about their own books (if they had any);

5) repost every now and then astronomy, science or humorous posts I found interesting (like all users do on that platform, albeit I did this at a much lower frequency than most users);

6) engage every now and then with other authors/users by replying to any of their (non-book) posts I found interesting (again, like all users do on that platform, albeit I did it at a much lower frequency than most users);

7) rarely post anything 'opinion' and/or personal, and certainly never did anything meant for 'engagement/platform manipulation' (e.g. asking some general/generic question to other authors at large about habits, genres, style, etc.).

And yet, someway, somehow, all of this low-to-mid daily activity transformed in November-December 2024 into 'inauthentic behavior/platform manipulation/spam' in the eyes of those clown moderators... with not only the permanent suspension of my account, but also denying my first appeal and not even bothering to answer my second one!😡

This is ridiculous, if not outright insane. Why those users/authors that post way more often than I do every day, if not actually do 'engagement manipulation', have never been suspended? Why my account? Was it because I had 'only' 5000+ followers, instead of having 10000+ like said others?😟

These X/Twitter mods are nothing but incompetent, cretinous imbeciles IMHO.😠

In any event... all this to announce that I had no choice but to move on to Bluesky! I hope to see you over there some day soon... 😎👍

More Psiarch: Rising Reviews And Progress Update On Psiarch: Reckoning

Chapter 7 and 8 of Psiarch: Reckoning (Book Two of The Psiarch Chronicles) are done and Chapter 9 is about 1/4 on the way, leaving one more chapter to finish Part 1 of the book (at least, as planned so far... but this might change once the manuscript is finished and rewriting goes over this again). 😎

Also, there are several new reviews for Psiarch: Rising (Book One of The Psiarch Chronicles) on Goodreads! A few excerpts:

- I enjoyed this book! It is a good sci-fi plot with elements of actions and romance mixed throughout to keep readers engaged.

- I just couldn't find myself putting the book down.

- I must start by saying that I am not very fond of this genre of books, however, this is a success and I was very pleased to read it. For science fiction readers and those of us who like the MCU, this book will undoubtedly hook us.

- I'd say it's an epic treat for sci-fi fans, or if you're looking for something to sink your bookish teeth into. The author has created a unique world for readers, and brings the characters to life within it, with clever and subtle imagery.

- I absolutely loved the narrative of this book!

Read the rest/whole of them over there.

So, until next time... keep on rockin', eh? 😎👍

P.S. Oh, and if you haven't already, you can grab your copy of Psiarch: Rising from the outlets listed here.
