Mother of Learning Chapter 46: The Other Side, a fantasy fiction | FictionPress

The Other Side "I'm ready," Zorian said. "You can start casting whenever you want." Estin, his current practice partner, gave him a solemn nod and started launching magic missiles at him in quick succession.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! Cause I was busy, I need to reread 45. Ah! So excited. Thanks Domagoj! (How do you even pronounce that? Domagoy?)

Croatian names (and words in general) are virtually always pronounced exactly like they are written. So yes, it's basically Domagoy.

I think you meant to say chapter "46" here?

Wow. That was a great chapter. I'm so happy to see some action. Two questions. That mansion was the one he flew to as an eagle, correct? Also, did the switch reset the whole loop early like Zach, or did it just send his soul back as if he died? Oh yeah, one more. Will we be seeing any other switches soon? I can tell that the other ones will be seen later because foreshadowing. Something something, Zach knows (or forgot) about the switches. Also, I did not expect switches to be a thing. Actually, thinking about it, Zach probably never knew about the switches, otherwise this never would have happened. Scratch that, he probably sent them back in the first place when that happened. I dunno. I hope that the switches would let Zorian fix the entire thing, also adding his soul to the white list. Even more, adding other people, like Taiven, Kael, Raynie, and the rest of the sparring team. There is some foreshadowing to it too, why spend so much time on it as a writer? Anyways, great job on the anti-spoilers. It must be super hard to do as a writer, but you're doing it really well. I'm sure you will do well to even my speculation. It isn't very good speculation, though. There has been several events that were not predicted, like the switches or the aranea soul kill. Lastly, if you're willing to share, why does it take three weeks, besides quality? You literally only have to say one of my two options: procrastination, enough work that you could theoretically fit in the writing but you're tired, or nearly full schedule? All, both, neither, etc? You can just not mention this in your response if you want, cause I don't want to pry. I will say that if it's some type of procrastination, I can totally empathize. I'm taking a writing class right now, and it's hard to keep on top of my procrastination even though I love it and want to write more after the class finishes. Even worse is a nonfiction class I have to take right after. The worst. Anyways, about you, it's so cool that you've gotten into a three week groove recently ("recently"), and have been keeping this up for years. Scratch that, it's facking amazing! You know, I bet you have some tips for keeping it to three weeks. If you have any procrastination tips/ideas, I like to get my hands on as much as I can get. Especially for writing now. Please share. Anyways, cheers for your amazing story and may it never die (until you want it to, you murderer! :P )

I really loved this chapter. Though it made me realize how much everyone has crappy situations in their own lives, other than the problems that Zorian has, or people getting killed, that Zorian might hopefully be able to help with when he manages to complete the loop. Let's see where you go with all of these tiny little plot threads, shall we? Goodness, I want more so badly.

Man this chapter was tense, Zorian faces down his first necromancer and walks away with his soul intact! Thanks as always Domagoj.

Yes, Iasku Mansion is the same one he visited as an eagle. You'll get the answer to the second question in the next chapter. And I'm not answering anything about the marker and how it functions. Three weeks thing: Mostly procrastination. Work explains some of it, but I should be able to write a chapter every two weeks easily. Hell, even a chapter a week would be doable if I was really in the mood. But I spend too much time on unrelated worldbuilding projects and writing outlines for future stories (that I'll probably never write; but I thought that about MoL too and just look at it) and my inspiration has a curious habit of being most active as deadlines are approaching. :P And if I knew how to deal with that effectively, I'd publish sooner, so I can't help you there.

You posted this like two in the morning? Thanks for being sleep deprived, I guess! ;) Love the chapter. As always, great writing, and amazing plot. Keep it up! PS: Now I have to wait another 3 weeks?! :'(

I'm glad to be able to read it. Keep entertaining us, and, I hope you will celebrate christmass and then publish an extra chapter ^^ Yeah, dreaming is a nice thing.

A nice chapter, I enjoyed reading it. I wrote a big review on fictionpress, and only just understood it contains an unwarranted assumption: we actually don't know if reset switch embedded in Zorian's marker resets the loop for everyone, or just for Zorian. And, I only just finished reading it and already I crave for more. At least it's not a cliffhanger. Once more, thanks for this great story.

Eagerly awaiting the next chapter today! F5 F5 F5

How's the chapter going? Hope you didn't procrastinate too much. :) The ending hyped me up so much; I'm so excited! Don't give me specifics (I don't want to give you a hard deadline), but do you think you'll post soon? Either way, keep up the hard work!

Green0Photon

Just finished this chapter and I am super hyped. Also, come on Domagoj, do you have to stay up past 12? (Do you use 24h time in Croatia?) :P About done editing I hope? I also just realized what your profile pic is. I'm such a dummy. Hype! I have no idea what Zorian is gonna do now. Hype!
