This is a question to all of the authors out there.
I began working on an origin story for the how the monster girls in my main story (The Runesmith Chronicles) came to be.

To be honest its horrifying, not in the sense that it's badly written, but in that it is truly horrifying. The events that happen in this first chapter will drive the MC's actions and decisions throughout the rest of the story/book so I felt I needed to give good descriptions and good representations of his reactions.

I did a good job I think, to the point that I don't want to go back and proofread it because it means reliving those moments through his eyes, again.

Horror is not my genre, I don't enjoy it, I don't read it. Yet here I am with a chapter that would fit nicely tucked into a horror novel.

Just curious if there are others that have done similar things, not necessarily with the horror angle but perhaps dipped a toe into a genre or scene you didn't necessarily like for the sake of driving the story?

Continuing the mountain adventure with the harpy and her hubby!
(by her reckoning anyway XD)

(Forgot to put this in the chapter foreword hehe oops...)

Some people mentioned that the original version of this chapter made it sound like Perra was 12-13 years old, instead of the canonically 17 about to turn 18 in a few months. The rewrite fixes a few smaller issues and has the updated section that removes the impression of her being younger.

Anyone who had downloaded the story don't forget to update this chapter as it is now the "Official" version. :)

Was out of town the latter part of last week. Unfortunately this means that the next chapter will be a bit late. Just wanted everyone to know I'm still working on it and haven't
disappeared ?

I sincerely hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day and that your day was filled with as much nookie as the stories you read. XD
