<p>In a world where people can serve as hosts to animal spirits, Huo Lohse Lang (Lolo), daughter of the Wolf Tribe leader, makes friends during her five summers in the training exchange. Little does she know just how critical those relationships will be on a quest to unlock the hidden mysteries of the original primordial spirits and save humanity from annihilation by an ancient evil.</p> <p>A young adult, slow burn progression fantasy written in eight novella-length parts and published together to make one epic adventure.</p> <p>The story is COMPLETED though in a rewrite process. (See chapter "00- Rewrite: A Living Draft".)</p> <p>Update 1/2023***** Stepping away from "The Last Primordials" for however long it's been to write new things and then returning to it to remember what I wanted to change about it.... You guys. *facepalm* It is so CLUNKY!! I'm leaving it posted as is, but if I were ever to seriously consider publishing this story, the whole thing would need to be completely rewritten. I'm not talking about edits and revisions. I'm talking about starting from scratch and rewriting the entire story. I'm not mad at the story, characters or mythos that very definitely sets up the other stories I've been writing, but the writing style-- the skill level-- leaves everything to be desired. To be fair, and I'm really not exaggerating, this was my very first attempt at creative writing unless you count assignments in high school. (And I'm old, so that was a long, looong time ago for me.) The good news is, I can confidently say that I've grown as a writer since penning "The Last Primordials". Insert some cliche about how practice makes better. I am still writing new things, and the feedback that I'm getting from my Beta readers is encouraging and confirms that I'm improving. So! Feel free to read this story. It's not bad, and I'm not ashamed of it, but when I get back around to it, just know to expect a total overhaul, and yes, I know it's poorly written.</p> <p>Please be advised that this story contains a wide variety of traumatizing content and dark/adult themes. I avoid graphic details, but the content is there. Reader discretion is strongly recommended. If you would like more specifics, feel free to PM me.</p> <p>Story inspired ART!!!</p> <p>Standig Thank you to RenamedUser8903457!! Beautiful work. I am blown away.</p> <p>I had some fun with artbreeder.com to create some loose character sketches. They aren't perfect, and I might replace images from time to time with more accurate ones.
