@[BlackMaple](/user/show/180252) You're very welcome. When I first started writing these stories, I was surprised by how many others shared my kinky fantasies. It really felt great to publish these stories, and get a feedback from the reader. In the process, it really felt like a community coming (or should I say 'cumming') together. Sorry for that pun; I just couldn't help myself. But it really motivated me to keep writing more stories throughout the years. Yes ... I totally flubbed that line. I have since corrected it to "waist". Not bad for someone who English isn't their primary language. I've corrected the typo and it's awaiting approval from the site moderators. Thanks for catching that.

@[Glennyboi](/user/show/917433) Hihiii :grin: the next chapter is about half-done, it's going to be a longer one :stuck_out_tongue:

@[SleepyAsh](/user/show/10046846) So excited 🥵🥵

@[Glennyboi](/user/show/917433) It's almost done now, got just two scenes left. I didn't expect it to end up this long :smiling_face_with_tear:

@[Finchy](/user/show/930308) thanks

@[Anon](/user/show/10049352) Well, I was gonna show how Forlorn corruoted others in this chapter, but that would make it even longer, so I'm saving that for the next chapter. Basically, he is an erotic dream who has domonion over the mid of othersand can manipulate them to an exteng few other demons could. Disguised as a harmless cleric, any human who receives his healing will drow more and more demonic over, it is his way of ensuring his spawn could go undetected and bring as many into the fold as possible before they are found. He can even visit people in dreams and corrupts them in their sleep while they had the most arousing wet dream of their life. Maybe he does all three combined. His powers are twisted attributes of Collin's. Edsie will unfortunately stay and fight to cover others' escape, his duty demands him. Maybe if the evacuation goes, he may join them, but not a moment before. The nature of spul is complicated. Even if Collin has been Forlorn for so long, much longer tgan he has been Collin, would that not say tgat Forlorn is Collin's true self liberated from his moral restraint? Or that the soul itself has innate imprints of personality, which is another point of interest. The Wolfmen will have a hars tims accepting people who maintain the worship of dawn and dusk. Pb is very vocal about Gis enmity.

@[Pcm](/user/show/10039396) Forlorn's methodology reminds me very much of the folklore of incubi and succubi that seduce people in dreams. Him disguising as a cleric and using magic to infuse people with demonic influences is a tragic corruption of who he was, but also fitting narratively. There also a subliminal horror in how a cleric, somebody you can trust, is now you potentially must run away from. Eddie staying until the end also makes sense. He is dutiful in every sense of the word. For me, the enchantments that made Collin Forlorn are ultimately based in a lie. Therefore, at most Forlorn is a twisted bastardization of Collin and his worst aspects brought to light imbalance without any of his positive qualities. For those who are unaware of the old reality, your analysis of Collin is correct- he will be seen as Collin's true self- because Collin no longer really exists and has perished. I do not see him as Collin's true self, but aspects of himself horribly distorted by demonic interference. That isn't really him anymore. When it comes to the soul, growing up I was taught of a concept of the inner soul (the ego) known as the nafs. While it is often seen as something to be controlled as it's the source of one's desires in it's most primal state- it in itself is not evil- but as it's the source of one's desires and wants- it can become bad if one does not control it. The nafs however can be controlled, restrained and eventually made to be a force of good rather than evil however- this is not done by merely suppressing all desire (as the eastern knights did which led to disastrous overcorrections, but by restraining and channeling it appropriately). It is not inherently evil on it's own. The concept has been seen as similar to the Ubermensch of the philsoopher Nietzsche, to the point that the indian philosopher Muhammad Iqbal thought Nitezche plagiarized the concept of the nafs from eastern sources and made it his own. The demons have essentially been degraded to the lowest level of the nafs which is mostly focused on self gratification- and are essentially slaves to the demon overlord. However free they think they are, they fundamentally are chained to him. The wolfmen will have a hard time accepting those of the dawn and dusk as they likely see them as foreign, oppressive deities (but as eddie mentioned, the beastfolk are also mired in sinister dealings), but they will have to come to some sort of accord regarding them. The easterners are not all going to convert wholesale to the primal beast- before the east had the demons to deal with, the west and east were at war with each other. The royalty of the west will likely not be a fan, but will need to probably accomdoate for political expediency. The northern variant of the beastfolk are likely much more moderate regarding this, and personally I find them to be the most well adjusted- unlike the demons and the western beastfolk they have not let their impulses rule over them. In that light, Collin and the others have been altered to have their desires overtake their entire personality in a sense. A person who is enslaved to his own desires is no longer their own man, but merely a puppet for internal and external forces. No matter how alluring their situation is, it still is a cage.

@Anonymous Eddie can become just as perverted as the rest of the demons.😀😀 He never has a good father before, so Abandon can be his ideal daddy who will show him real manly paternal love. That is one way this could go.

@[Corin](/user/show/125990) I just checked. Chapter 3 will be posted some time on September 4th. From that point on, a new chapter should post every 3 days. And in total, this series has nine chapters. Every chapter has been edited and submitted for GSS for publishing. But yeah ... sorry about the wait. I've never agreed with Netflix's model to release content all at once. This way, it allows readers to read the stories, and hopefully give some kind of comment to the author. I learned that when stories are published all at once, it's hard for the author to gauge whether their stories worked or didn't work.

@[rubbrsome](/user/show/13662) No, it's fine... I actually prefer it that way, too. And you're publishing it quickly enough. To publish the whole series all at once would be overwhelming for my dick anyway. So please go on just like this :)
