just dropped a new chapter for my book here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/136114/chronicles-of-the-aethein/chapter/3265716/chapter-xvii-we-get-to-talk

Chapter 17, in which Arodorros attempts to become an exposition machine, Ari obsesses over responsbility, and the idiots take none of it.

also we're on 200 PAGES WOOO (by google docs count, royalroad says its only 179 lameeee)
