Author's Note:

It's time for Idol Rabier to be killed (we'll be returning here later on for the canon event of them encountering the Tyrant Dragon) and for a huge training montage while the party gets itself ready with the time they have left to face the Waves with Sadeena's help. You might want to put on some Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" on whatever app/website you use to play music because that's what I have going on right now while writing it. Well, honestly, just listen to this Spotify playlist, it's 80's Training Montage Playlist by NDTheKing32 and you'll get the idea. I probably watched too much Karate Kid, Rocky among other 80's sports movies.

On a side note, I have a poll up, as I have forever disliked the fact that after Queen Mirellia comes back and puts Malty/Bitch and Aultcray/Trash on trial that even though she sentences them to execution, which considering all both have done, more than warrants it decides to commute those sentences because Naofumi wanted to be petty and change their names to something insulting. The poll is, how many of my readers at the end of the Three Heroes Church arc which is many chapters away, want to see Malty/Bitch and Aultcray/Trash actually executed or how many wish to spare one or the other or both to have one/both of them thrown into the dungeons in chains to live out the rest of their lives?

I want to once again thank Allen Blaster of Virtue of the Shield Hero fame for his comments, suggestions and encouragement and I urge you to read his fanfic as in my view, it is excellent. I also again want to thank Robotech275 of Crafting and Cooking Hero fame for all his help with timelines, Weapon Forms and other comments on this story. He too is a great author and I also urge people to read his and other stories in the Multi World Project like Kampfpanzer. His work Locked and Loaded in Another World is very good and the best example of a Gun Hero that isn't either far too overpowered and a Matrix/John Wick clone or else a try hard and edgelordy type loser. I would also like to let people know that MeTal from my Discord server is now my new beta reader and editor that I rely on for help in crafting this story of mine.

Review Responses:

To BLACKSERFT98: Thank you again, I always appreciate your reviews and the information you give me, it does get used eventually or at least incorporated in.

To MaxPrime: She'll have her moments, but she won't always be in Naofumi's party as she's a bit too OP for the early story. But don't worry, she won't be left completely on the sidelines.

To Northernmegas: She's about where she was during the Zeltoble arc, and she was able to take on Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo in canon until Raphtalia made her realize who she was fighting. Besides that, a non-classed up Raphtalia was able to defeat Rabier after the Lute Wave thanks to her Hero bonuses. That said, Sadeena won't be always in the party as you're right, it would make things far too easy, please keep reading as you'll see what my plans going forwards are.

To Azure–Star-Dragon: To be fair to Sadeena, she didn't expect Naofumi to show up and let's not forget she was drunk, very depressed and thinking that Naofumi was there as a looter or slaver and wasn't really in the frame of mind to look too deep into Naofumi's identity until she heard Raphtalia.

59 Reviews, 49 Favorites, 73 Follows and over 6200 views and counting. Again, thanks to everyone who is supporting me, you are one of the main reasons that I write and will continue to write. As always, I will try to release a chapter bi-weekly, but it will depend on work and life. Let's dive into the story.

The Struggle of the Shield Hero

Chapter 8

In The Eye Of The Storm

"I know you are in a mess and you can't see a way out of it. Your eyes only see to the horizon though. You can't see what is around the bend. I'll be waiting there for you. In this uncertain world you will always face uncertainties, but I am going to walk the journey with you. It may not be clear to you right now, but I will cause all things to work together for your good. I am in the business of making beauty from ashes, of redeeming what seems hopeless and crafting you into a work of art that shows the world My mercy and goodness. I know you are hurt and angry, but don't lose hope. I am with you every step of your journey, even through the darkest valleys and in the middle of the scariest storms.

Ryan Stevenson, Eye of the Storm: Experiencing God When You Can't See Him

I stood up with Sadeena and we went to go find the girls who had finished their business and were a bit shocked and upset at seeing us together. Sadeena had suddenly chosen to once again grab onto my arm and press her voluptuous chest into it once we were outside the house we had decided to take over in the village. I was about to say something and try to remove my arm from her grip, but because of the level and stats difference there was nothing I could do. I could see this was only inflaming the jealousy of my other party members and Raphtalia was the first to arrive to try and pry Sadeena off of me, saying sharply,

"Big Sis Sadeena! What have I told you! Leave Master Naofumi alone!"

I heard her mutter under her breath,

"I'd rather it be me doing that…"

My headache was getting much worse as at that moment, both Rifana and Keel came and I felt like I was being pulled in two different directions as Sadeena had one arm and was laughing softly, holding on as the other girls had a grip on my second one and were trying to pull me away. After some back and forth Sadeena, with a teasing tone, said

"Ara ara, now aren't you lucky Little Naofumi, having multiple flowers on your arms."

I sighed and finally had enough of the love comedy being played out in front of me. I wasn't a virgin anymore, nor was I a lonely otaku that stayed in his bedroom at home with no social skills to speak of, much less dealing with girls, so I told them,

"Ok, that's enough, ALL OF YOU!"

I glared first at Sadeena, because she was the instigator of all this, and I was going to have to deal with her first before Raphtalia and her friends. I continued,

"We have too much at stake to be fooling around like this right now."

I glared then at the girls,

"As for you three, I've already made my feelings clear on this point, IF I choose to start a romance with ANYONE it will be only after the Waves are beaten. Too many people need us, and besides that, no matter how old you three look you are still 10 years old and in my world that's considered a crime to have a romantic relationship with someone that young. We call them lolicons, and I don't particularly want to have that moniker stuck to me."

The girls frowned, but released me, Sadeena on the other hand pounced on that statement like a dog gnawing on a bone,

"Ara ara, but I'm much older then they are, does that mean that I qualify… you'd have to outdrink me first but…"

I cut her off immediately as a vein began to pulse in my forehead all the irritation. Maybe it was a mistake to have partied up with this big breasted big sister type, I was never very good with them, despite the fact that they happened to be just my type. I shoved that thought aside, deep inside the box I kept for my dark past and said,

"No! I mean it! Now stop… besides, we had something we were going to discuss with the girls anyways, DIDN'T WE?"

Sadeena smirked, but finally let my arm go, and turned to the girls, who were now curious, and turned serious as she said,

"Having heard what happened to you all, Little Raphtalia, Little Rifana, Little Keel, I felt my blood boil and I wanted to go on a rampage for a little bit. What would you three say about going on a small trip with Little Naofumi and myself… to get rid of the pig known as Idol Rabier, save whatever slaves he has in his dungeons and make sure no one can repeat what happened to you in that place ever again?"

The girls looked at each other and then looked serious as they drew their weapons and yelled in unison,

"LET'S GO!"

We gathered up what little supplies we could from the village, just enough for us to make our way to Idol Rabier's territory. I checked the hourglass in the upper left corner of my HUD and saw that we had just under three weeks with which to train and get our levels up in time for the Wave. I hoped that with Sadeena's help, we could maybe make it to level 30 or higher by the time it hit, which would give the girls and myself a good safety margin, especially with Sadeena being in the party.

Since it would take at least three days by Filolial to get back to Castle Town, We headed to Reichnott's and asked to rent a cart and maybe even George if he was there in order to cut down on travel time. We were hoping to use it to be able to get to Castle Town hopefully a day or two before the actual Wave to finish up all preparations, pick up my armor and get new weapons that would be able to scale up as we grew. I also hoped that I would be able to at least talk to the three morons and see if I could get them and me on the same page and work out how we were going to handle the Wave itself and, if possible, get them to tell me any details about the one coming up.

I would have paid Reichnott rent for his cart and filolial , but he was gracious enough to let us borrow them for free, as long as we brought it to his contact in Castle Town who would see it returned later on. I felt it was satisfactory, but gave him a gold anyway, not as payment but as a token of my appreciation for his generosity. We all piled in and with Sadeena sitting next to me and made our way to Idol Rabier's territory.

It was slow going sadly, I had forgotten the girls' motion sickness, and we had to make a lot of stops for them to get used to the ride. It didn't help that this cart that Reichnott gave us had a much bumpier and more painful ride than the one he used to come and go himself to Castle Town. As we got near the manor that housed Idol Rabier, I pulled George over to the side and hid the cart and ourselves in the bushes where hopefully the guards wouldn't patrol. We needed to discuss how we were going to approach this.

Sadeena was all for kicking down the doors of his manor, calling him out, and then annihilating him with her lightning magic while the rest of us used her as a distraction to go to the dungeon nearby and rescue the slaves still inside, if any still lived, and help bring the bodies of those who died to be properly laid to rest. That plan did not please me, or the girls, and even though we could tell that Sadeena was powerful that still meant she'd have to take on both Idol Rabier and the vast majority of his guards at the same time. Not to mention that the girls also wanted their pound of flesh to boot.

That said, when she explained to me that Rabier was a war hero and probably high-leveled as well, the girls and I had to agree that it was unlikely that we could face him ourselves even with the Shield bonuses we had. I decided to compromise and told her to take care of Rabier while we would focus on eliminating his forces ourselves, as it would have a greater impact on him than if she wiped everything and everyone out herself.

She agreed to the compromise and we got into position. We stood in front of the courtyard in a line, drawing the attention of all the guards as Sadeena called out, slamming the butt of her harpoon into the ground,

"Ara ara, Idol Rabier! Your reign of terror ends here, I'm coming for you and to take back the slaves from Lurolona and other places that you tortured and killed. Come out and face us, you big, fat, limp censored piglet. Waddle out that big ornate house of yours and let's get this party started!"

A slimy and oily voice comes from a very fat man which made me understand why all girls call him pig, as he stands in the middle of a balcony overlooking the front door. His expression is one of a sneer and superiority as he looks down at us from his nose,

"Oh how delightful, a dirty demi and her friends have come to challenge me, after hearing about my wonderful hobby. I'm so blessed, now don't you worry, once my men capture you all, I'll make sure to give you my 'special' attention with my friend here…"

He unwinds a whip he carries on his belt and snaps it, the crack is ominous. The whip is blacker than midnight and seems somewhat malevolent to me. I noticed the girls all glaring, clenching their teeth and white knuckling the hilt of their weapons. Even Sadeena wasn't unaffected by this, and I was worried about her most as she was a real wild card in a lot of ways.

I spoke up quietly then, as leader of the party, I had to make sure my group didn't lose focus and play into the fat pig's hands,

"Calm down everyone, stick to the plan, he's just trying to provoke us into making a mistake. Remember, our ultimate goal is to rescue the prisoners he keeps in his dungeons, killing him is a secondary goal. Even if we can't kill him now, we win if we deprive him of his toys to play with. You girls want to show him that you're strong enough to stand up to him, don't you?"

The girls all nodded and seemed to calm a bit and my words even made Sadeena a bit less ready to go wild. As I was talking to them, I was watching the guards begin to surround us and started assessing who were the biggest threats. I continued and said loud enough for Rabier to hear,

"We'll take care of his guards, they don't look nearly half as threatening as the two-headed dog monster we killed in the mines of Lute, after we do, the fat little pig-headed pervert will have to come out of his shed and face us. Or maybe not, he's probably a coward aswell."

My words made the girls start to laugh and loosened them up like I hoped they would, while at the same time, it has the effect of wiping the ugly sneer off of the fat pig's face and made him snarl,

"How dare you! Oh, now that I look at you, I can see how much you resemble that Demon of the Shield everyone's been talking about, I'm going to enjoy breaking you all. Guards! Get them!"

I smirked, this was one time I didn't mind the poor reputation that I was saddled with, I held up my shield as the guards started to charge and said,

Shooting Star Shield

A semi-transparent bubble appeared around us and as they tried to hit us their weapons all bounced away and sent them flying back. It gave the girls a chance to get into position and for Sadeena to hold up her harpoon and yell,

All Dreifa Chain Lightning

A huge thunderstorm built up over the courtyard and a huge amount of thunder bolts slammed into the guards around us, killing most of them with only the strongest still able to stand, albeit with very little health left. My skill ended right after that and I got far too many notifications of EXP and Level Ups to count as I said coldly to the girls who were waiting,

"Let's finish this, go Raphtalia, Rifana, Keel!"

We moved away from Sadeena who's eyes were focused solely on Rabier while he was screaming at his soldiers, foaming at the mouth. I couldn't hear what he was yelling at us because I was too busy bashing the remaining guards and their reinforcements with my shield and tossing Air Strike Shields in front of the girls whenever they needed them. I'm sure whatever that old fool was saying was just piggy noises anyways and unimportant.

As soon as the girls had dealt with the vast majority of the remaining guards and the rest decided discretion was the better part of value and started to retreat, I noticed that the fat pig no longer was on the balcony and was coming towards us from the front door. I called out to Sadeena and said,

"Do you have this?"

I figured she probably did, but I asked anyway because we were going to move to phase two of our plan and rescue the prisoners. She nodded and planted her harpoon into the ground and transformed into her orca therianthrope form and said,

"Ara ara, oh yes, Little Naofumi, I've got this… I also don't think it'll take that long at all, so you and the girls run along and steal the witless, censoredless fat little piggy's toys and I'll make sure to slaughter him for you. It's too bad that his meat is all spoiled with hate, malice and indulgence or I'd have you cook him up for us to eat."

I kind of shuddered a bit, damn, that woman could be scary when she wanted to be. I honestly believed her when she said she was going to slaughter him for food. She was that convincing. I touched the girls on the shoulder and whispered to them to leave the rest of the fear stricken guards, so that we could head over to the dungeon.

As I left the scene in the direction of where Raphtalia and the other girls were heading to while watching their back and covering them with my shield, I got a glimpse of what was going on with Rabier and Sadeena and most of it was posturing and bluster on the part of Rabier and laconic disdain and that scary ominous aura coming from the Sadeena.

We quickly lost sight of the battle and I turned my attention to a set of stairs we found near the side of the manor that led down. No guards followed us thankfully so we were free to head down. The first thing that hit me as I entered was the smell. It was the smell of rot, blood and death that I was sadly slowly becoming accustomed to.

We came down to a row of cells with demi-humans in them, many of whom were badly injured and many who were clearly dead. Raphtalia noticed the dungeon keeper and quickly killed him and I took the man's keys and started unlocking doors while handing out medicine and health potions left and right and instructing the prisoners to take it. There were 5 living prisoners in total as I told the girls,

"Get them upstairs and await my return. I'll bring the cart here and we'll load them in. After that, we'll start bringing up the bodies. We'll get them out of the grounds to safety and then come back to back up Sadeena if there is a need for it and retrieve her."

They nodded and started bringing the beaten and broken demi-human prisoners to the stairs as I climbed up first. There was no soul nearby and the smell of ozone from Sadeena's lightning was heavy in the air. I looked towards where Sadeena and Idol Rabier were fighting but didn't see them. The manor however, was almost completely destroyed and clearly their battle must have gone elsewhere. I headed for the place, where we stashed George and the cart. They were unharmed so I drove it next to the dungeon stairs and called for everyone to get into the back.

The girls started helping the former prisoners up into the cart, one at a time. I noted that they were all around the girls' age, and when I asked if there were any adults, I closed my mouth at the looks I was given. I knew those were likely most of the bodies left down there. There were two of them that the girls seemed to know and were talking to them quietly. One was a young bunny demi-human girl named Delia and a cat demi-human boy named Dalton. I made sure everyone was safely inside the cart and quickly left the grounds and hid the cart and them in the forest outside.

I went back alone to see if Sadeena needed help but was shocked to discover her walking towards us nonchalantly. I called out to her, a dumb question because I could see her health almost at full,

"Sadeena, are you alright?"

She had transformed back to her demi-human form and there wasn't even a scratch on her. She laughed politely and grabbed on to me affectionately as she said,

"Ara ara, were you worried about me, Little Naofumi? The little piglet was weaker than I expected for supposedly being a 'Great Hero of the Siltvelt-Melromarc War'. His skills must have atrophied in the meantime because he was barely a threat to me. No no, there's no need to bother about it, he's gone and I've had to kill more dangerous individuals than him in my time. Let's not leave the girls waiting shall we?"

I had my doubts that she was alright, killing a person no matter how much it was deserved, never went without consequences and I kind of got the feeling that Sadeena was hiding a lot of unresolved issues under her "Drunk and flirty Big Sister Sadeena" persona.

Despite that, it wasn't my place to pry, so we hopped into the cart and headed back to Lurolona. We would need to make it our base for the foreseeable future and take care of the slaves we freed.

We got back the next day to Lurolona. While we were on the road, I checked my timer on my HUD and it read:

19:02:32:19

So about two and a half weeks left before the Wave hit. I wanted us to use about two weeks to train and then quickly head back to Castle Town to get our equipment ready, and, hopefully, catch the three idiots and see if we can figure out some strategy. We were going to leave Sadeena here to protect the freed slaves while we took on the Waves as we couldn't bring them with us, and leaving them on their own would make them too vulnerable to being retaken by slavers once more.

We were going to spend our days rotating from training our bodies, training our skills with our weapons and having Sadeena take us out deep into the ocean to kill monsters. With luck, by the time we finished up, we'd be close to level 40 and strong enough to face whatever the Wave might throw at us. We started that very day.

"Eye of Tiger" by Survivor plays in the background:

Risin' up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet

Just a man and his will to survive

We started by running on the beach barefoot, as the sand pulled our feet into it, as a way to train our stamina. We kept running the length of the beach and persevered, trying to get faster, trying to push our limits. When we got good enough to run at full speed on the sand we switched to having Sadeena help us with our weapon skill.

So many times, it happens too fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive

We had gotten this far with only indifferent training with our weapons, some lessons from Erhart that only gave the very basics, but it showed that we had a long way to go. Sadeena couldn't help us all, but she had been trained as a warrior so she could help with footwork, and sparring to show us about our strengths and weaknesses. I even took advantage as I was going to be the one up front and she helped me learn how to block and parry different weapon types as she had the girls gang up on me all at once with her commanding them.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

We then went hunting to gain EXP, Sadeena took us out on the ocean and weakened strong aquatic monsters and brought them up to the surface so that we could finish them off. It had the added bonus of giving us fresh ingredients to help feed all of us plus the freed slaves. We also hunted on the land to be able to keep from being specialized in only fighting aquatic creatures.

Face to face, out on the heat

Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

They stack the odds still we take to the street

For the kill, with the skill to survive

We then spent some time helping to repair a house nearby that wasn't too badly damaged so that the freed slaves would have a place warm to sleep at night. I had Raphtalia and Sadeena stay with them that night because I was sure that they probably would have night terrors as badly as Raphtalia did and the other girls to some lesser extent.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

The days started to repeat just like that, although we would vary the schedule a little. We also started to add heavier and heavier weights to our back, wrists, ankles, legs and arms to provide harder training. We wanted to do all we could to get better as fighting the Wave would require us to go beyond our limits, especially if the three idiots didn't do their job properly. We were also aware that we were probably going to have to help protect people who were caught up in the Wave and evacuate them to somewhere safe. Since we didn't know where the next Wave would hit, we had to stay sharp.

Risin' up, straight to the top

Had the guts, got the glory

Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop

Just a man and his will to survive

We also spent some time during our training to work on our tactics. The girls needed to learn how to move to put themselves in the best positions as I started to put into practice what I learned playing real time strategy games and MMOs back home in my otaku days. I had to concentrate on where I placed myself so that I could cover the group, while being out of the way when they were about to attack.

I found that before we did this training, I was tending to sometimes get in the way of Raphtalia who was best at hit and run tactics where she'd dart in, make an attack then pull back. Keel wasn't as bad as she primarily used a spear and could be trusted to stay to the side of me and strike whenever there was an opening but thanks to our training, those openings became more frequent and therefore easier for her to attack. Rifana, being our back line mage had perfected her Erst Fire Arrow and thanks to pointers from Sadeena, was able to economize her MP use and expand her magical attacks with Erst Fireball and Erst Flame which were the typical fireball attack and a magical flamethrower one.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night

And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

We pushed ourselves as hard as we could, realizing that levels and stats didn't mean everything, that even a person who was high leveled and had high stats could be beaten by much weaker and lower leveled fighters who had better skills than them. The previous Wave took down an entire village, it wasn't out of the question to think that this upcoming one might be even worse. It was the thought of preventing any more tragedies like Lurolona that drove us to do all that we could to survive.

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger

Finally, when my timer reached roughly four and a half days before the Wave was due to hit, I felt it was time to head back to Castle Town. For we had preparations to make. I removed Sadeena from the party so that she wouldn't be transported with us and we had a tearful goodbye with Delia, Dalton, Mia, Amber and Harris, the slaves we rescued from Idol Rabier. We attached George to his cart and headed towards Castle Town.

As we were driving, I glanced behind me at the girls who all looked like they had finally finished growing. Raphtalia looked like a college student while Rifana and Keel looked like they were in their last year or so of high school. They had all grown beautiful and mature in mind and body that made it very hard for me to remember that they were still only 10 years old.

That's not to say that I pushed them away when they tried to be romantic with me, and I definitely didn't reject them, I told them that I just couldn't accept their feelings when so much was undecided and with the danger we were in. They had matured enough to understand, but I don't think they really accepted my answer of "Not now", they were bound and determined and that really scared me. Not as much as Sadeena because there were days I had to decline her trying to get me to come to her secret base out in the sea to drink with her after the girls mentioned that whoever outdrank her would be the one she marries.

We did a small amount of trading as we traveled. Mostly to supplement the money we had from helping Reichnott back in Lute. It also allowed us to make contacts in some of the smaller villages along the way that would be beneficial going forward after the Wave was over so I can get my trading business that I had planned to start. Most of our freed slaves were not interested in fighting, and who could blame them, they had suffered enough. But a couple of them had parents who were merchants and had learned a little from them so I would buy a cart and Filolial for them along with myself to start my empire here in Melromarc.

As we got closer to Castle Town and passed by Lute, the tension in the air began to grow. At least the Trash King got the word out that the Wave would be here soon so that the people wouldn't be caught off guard. We made it through the gates and found Reichnott's contact so that we could give him back George and the cart. A hard thing to do, because by that point we all had fallen in love with George and he too was mournful when we were forced to leave him.

We got ourselves a room at a decently priced Inn nearby Erhart's and decided to turn in. We would go to the Old Man tomorrow bright and early and then get ourselves geared up for the Wave before we wait for it. I hadn't seen or heard of the three morons and I assumed they weren't in Castle Town yet, or else they decided to go and stay in the castle where I wasn't welcome or allowed to go and gave up on trying to meet them before the Wave to plan. We're just going to have to make up for them if they weren't going to take things seriously and act like this was just a game.

And there we go, the party will consist of Naofumi, Raphtalia, Rifana and Keel for the Lute Wave. I thought about having Sadeena join them, but remembered that the slaves would be left all on their own with no way of protecting themselves and felt this would be a much better way of handling it. Plus it makes it so that this Wave isn't trivialized by having Sadeena nuke the Chimera or else me having to pull some BS to try and make the wave harder and more dangerous than it is to make up for the party being too OP. I know that a few of my readers questioned my decision to have Sadeena this early and to go after Idol Rabier, but I do have plans going forwards I assure you.

The next chapter is the Lute Wave, and it plus the next chapter which is the Duel will likely be the biggest chapters I write yet. I am starting a new job which will likely take up a good portion of my time that I normally use to write, so I may not be posting as frequently as I used to. I will try to keep posting at least a chapter a week, but bi-weekly might be a stretch unless I'm posting a main story chapter plus one that will go up on my Interludes spin-off. Speaking of, please do check that story out, I will have an Interlude detailing the points of view of each of the Three Heroes and what they were doing after the trial and all but abandoning Naofumi after the first arc is over with.

Also, I have a question of my readers, who would like to see me do another spin-off that deals with Kizuna and what takes place in her world with meeting Glass, L'Arc, Therese, Ethnobolt and the rest and defeating the Dark Dragon Emperor before she is imprisoned in the Infinite Labyrinth and then meeting Naofumi and Rishia there? I might start it once we get past the Lafan Wave and stalemating with Glass. It wouldn't be updated NEARLY as much as the main story as that will be my primary focus, but I'm curious as to what sort of appetite for it might be.

I have created a Discord for those who want to follow along with my story. I will have a channel for discussions of my fanfic with myself and others as well as a channel where I will post my W.I.P. documents so that people can be spoiled if they like future storylines and events.
