Most of you who read The Adventures of Zovhara Ashfrost may have realised that there has been no update since the beginning of April this year. There comes a time when one needs to pause and reflect on how the story has gone so far, and what could be improved. That time is now. We have reached 1/3rd of the story. The next chapter will be a second Interlude, or Interlude II as I would like to put it.
But before I invest time in writing the last part of the story and tie all of Zov'ha's adventures together, I would like to go back and review a few of the earlier chapters.
When I started writing this novel, I had just revived my hobby of writing after three years. My vocabulary, sentence construction and storytelling skills had lost its shine. I have since honed these skills and would like to revisit the beginning so that the story carves beautifully into what is happening now.
Fret not! The story DOES NOT change. Here are some examples of the changes I will be making:
- I used a lot of active voice in my earlier chapters and it was monotonous. I will be changing this and bringing in some flair like it is in some of my most recent chapters.
- Descriptions and setting the scenario was minimal. I would like to improve on this, using more phrases, comparisons and narratives.
- Improved vocabulary - I have a process for this now. Get ready to open the dictionary (jk!)
- A better grasp of some of the concepts like Autoichorium and Zov'ha's past, because it seemed unconstructed and confusing.
This should take about two months, after which, or during which, I will bring out future chapters.
Get ready for the big finale! Thanks for reading folks!

New episode out for The Adventures of Zovhara Ashfrost!
https://tapas.io/episode/3111843
Excerpt:
‘Distressing incidents drove me away… others too. Like me, there were many who were found guilty of treason. We were all hoping for an era of change… of freedom. But in the end it did not matter. The rebels were caught and dealt with, and all was lost. I abandoned Asenya. I abandoned the country I loved! I came here to live in peace… But what peace can I have when the past tails me like a wild beast on a hunt? There are still those who grant me succour. Whether they do it out of compassion or only for the value of my skill, I know not. It does not matter. One way or another I will be found and towed back to those accursed mountains. It’s only a matter of time.’

The Silent Ripper: https://tapas.io/episode/3093949
Excerpt:
The bartender eyed him again, then reluctantly said, ‘You sound like a good man, ay. You don’t sound like you’re looking for trouble. Few around town know about the Silent Ripper. Word is that if any come looking for him, they’re to be shown the door. It’s been a while now, but those hunting him are usually…,’ he paused to lean in, but it looked like he needed a break to shake off a sour memory. ‘...Usually mercenaries — assassins from the Duskwatch. They come crawling down from Asenya, ay. Mighty grim they are. You can recognise one from afar. The way they dress… and speak…’ The innkeeper shivered, his expression quaint, and his eyes wide. ‘Look... the man you’re looking for takes his drinks upstairs. He’s a regular. Should be in within the hour. Tall, big-bellied, half-Poban, half-Mechanov. You can’t mistake him for anyone else.’

Yo a new series I made called ciphers veil is out now
Hello and thanks for reading The Adventures of Zovhara Ashfrost!
2 new episodes out: The Gloomhog parts 1 and 2!
The Gloomhog - Part 1: https://tapas.io/episode/3056514
The Gloomhog - Part 2: https://tapas.io/episode/3079591
Excerpt:
The undergrowth crunched tenderly under Sascha’s boots as she furtively made her way through the marshes. Swollen with fern and palm, the twisted landscape proved challenging to traverse, even by foot. Sharp roots clawed out from the unsteady ground, threatening to impale unaware trespassers. Every step had to be taken carefully — if the ground pushed in like a drenched pillow, soaking the lip of her boot with mucky water, she knew she had to step back and look for another way around. Feeling the onset of a pounding headache, she felt weak and nauseous. She ascribed her ailment to the overdose of marsh stink, and the birds and bugs that showed no hint of ceasing their chirping and cawing and buzzing and squawking.
