I am presently befuddled by a plethora of demands upon my person. These conundrums just won't go away.
Namely, law school applications. I am graduating university soon and I have no effing idea what to do. Deep crises of life abound. I took the LSAT about a week ago and now I gotta get these applications in. That means LORs, personal statements, etc.
Beyond these notable developments I am also plagued with a number of ho-hum demands such...

Unfortunately I think much of the older generation of MMOTalers that was around when I was in high school and just starting out in this community are no longer with us. I imagine most of them are now knee-deep in their own adult worlds, starting careers and making babies. Those old faces would probably have a much firmer idea of what I am trying to relate to you today (or tonight, whenever you happen to be reading this), but since they are no...

Note to the MMOT/VuT Community
It’s been a beautiful five years, but everything must come to an end. I admit when I first started writing Tales of a Lost Phoneme way back in 2006 I had no idea that I would be here, finishing a second sequel, the last of a trilogy, in five years in 2011. I never thought this series would get this far or take this long to finish. But it has. And it feels very sweet, maybe a little bittersweet, to...

It is my tremendous pleasure to present you with the final chapter of ToaLS. It's been nearly five and a half years since I first started writing ToaLP, and it's been truly amazing watching how far the series has come since then. It was fun while it lasted. The epilogue and final thoughts come next Friday, November 18!
ONE HUNDRED – DON’T LET GO

Final chapter in the entire series - ETA Friday/Saturday. An epilogue will follow, release TBD.
Episode 99 Requiem II: Prelude to Rebirth
Tau bends over the bloody form on the ground, his eyes widening with horror. Even as he stares, streaks of blood drain from the body at his knees, running down the street full of shocked onlookers. Nobody goes to help him though, as Tau kneels over the body, tears beginning to run down his face....

The countdown continues. Just three more chapters, including this one!
Episode 98 Requiem I: Dissolution
In place of the moon, a towering castle with innumerable menacing towers and turrets has risen over the Fatalists’ own. Its many spires and battlements pierce the black night sky in twisting, dark shapes; the lifeless black battlements and windows gaze grimly down from its all-seeing vantage point as the entire castle floats...

Oh hey, would you look at that, today's chapter on time. Including this one, four more chapters left in the series!
Episode 97 Dukes are Wild
What little light is present in the hallway falls slanted upon Flynn’s dark face. His fangs are bared, and a maddened, deranged look controls his face. “So the second of the Anti-Phonemes has appeared before me. Indeed, this must be divine providence.” He stretches out his free...

It's been a few weeks since we've heard from the others. Here's another giant chapter.
Episode 96 Undetected Snake
Madness engulfs Tau’s eyes as he hunts his prey, swinging his heavy spear recklessly to and fro. Silver deftly sidesteps every attack with her lithe feet; she dodges a particularly close thrust by Tau with impressive agility, her silvery eyes narrowed with intense focus.
As soon as Tau’s Stormshear shaves...

Edit: Ugh...uploaded unedited version of new chapter. Reuploaded to higher quality new version.
Okay, so I realize I'm late with this new chapter. But here's my excuse. I basically rewrote this chapter from the ground up to satisfy my stringent quality standards. In fact, this chapter started out at 1800 words. It's now topped 3000. So enjoy this beast of a chapter. I worked really hard to make sure it's an extremely high quality chapter....

Episode 94 Arai Mage
“This is the end, Arai Mage!” Kunai hollers, wrathfully spitting into Arai’s pale face. He raises the already bloody Myou closer to Arai’s face, his dark eyes contorted with grotesque rage.
However, footsteps suddenly ring out from behind Kunai. He rapidly lets go of Arai, and flips over in the air to kick away a clone. The clone Arai comes to a stop, thrown into the air by Kunai’s...

Episode 93 Second Path
Kunai feels the familiar damp feeling of the air in the room. He opens his eyes, as the dark world around him gradually materializes into being. Once more he finds himself in a tiny room, bounded on all four sides by groves of bamboo trees. In front of him is a tiny pond, its water still as ice.
His breathing strangely slow, Kunai rises to his feet and steadily creeps towards the...

This fight between Kunai and Arai is definitely one of, if not the, most epic fights in the entire series. You'll see why when all hell begins to break loose next chapter.
Episode 92 Legacy of Kindness
A kind of frost begins to fall upon the battlefield, as the ground freezes and massive stalagmites built of ice erupt from the marble floor. Dodging a blast of electricity, Kunai dashes quickly out of the way as Arai aims yet another...

Episode 91 Regrets of a God
‘When was it that I became this way? I don’t remember. When was it that I lost myself? I don’t remember. My only waking memories are of being a Fatalist. There is nothing else, only that deep, black void. That is where my reason for existence lies—in being a Fatalist…’
A much younger Arai stands alone, a small frown on his tiny pale face as he waits outside the throne room...

Episode 90 The Unhappiness of God
A clatter sounds, as Kunai and Arai break from each other. Their weapons remained raised, however, as they stare each other down, daring the other to make the first move. Kunai grits his teeth, Myou gleaming eagerly in his hands as it reflects the glimmer of the starlight.
“Soul Synthesis!” Kunai cries immediately, cutting the air with his sword with a jolt. With a powerful release, the...

Episode 89 At Heaven’s Precipice
Far below, within the depths of the Fatalists’ castle, Cynthia continues to wander about on her own, lost. The cacophony of war within the castle is lost to her deep within the upper reaches of the castle.
She comes to a stop at the head of another staircase, bending over and panting heavily. She stares out a nearby window, where the forest and the ground below have become far fainter than...
