I love having a powerful but not insurmountable villain. Blackheart was smart enough to flee when the tide began to turn, and there's a proper drawback to the rage demon form. Looking forward to more!

Thanks Richard! I’m really glad you enjoyed some of the dynamics in this chapter.

Fun fact: While Isara’s rage demon was always part of the lore, dating back to her prelude with Yeldarb, Blackheart was actually a last minute addition to the series!

He was created as part of a D’veen guest story written by @Terrifying Tales for a prompt of mine. I loved his character so much, I asked if I could use him in the series.

The rest is history, but I love him as the villain (for now at least, haha) since he gives us a nice balance between the cosmic horror of the Rot, and the need for a beatable villain.

Very excited to hear your thoughts as the series goes on! 😁

Haha, thank you so much Daniel! It makes me so happy to hear you’re enjoying it. D’veen really has come into its own and I’ve certainly fallen in love with the world and it’s potential as well.

Really appreciate your support as always, my friend!

That’s amazing to hear! Blackheart is seriously shaping up to be one of my favorite villains I’ve written. I cannot thank you enough for bringing him to life in your original D’veen Tale.

His inclusion in the series has really been a game-changer for me as I plan ahead. Super excited for upcoming chapters! 😁

No problem at all. I’ve always preferred villains to heroes 😅 I’m excited to see where your story goes as well.

Thank you so much, Tamsin! It’s been a while since I wrote an action scene like this, but I wanted to focus on keeping the pacing fast so it doesn’t lose momentum.

Really happy to hear you enjoyed it! 😁

Yessss! I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you again for voicing Solara! Since you created her, it seemed fitting that she would have your voice.
