I just finished the next chapter which will fit under the whatever-mega-byte-upload-limit this time. Also don't patronise me. Now I need to make the picture to accompany that (insert display of grief here). I've already started the next chapter which introduces one of my favourite characters. Here's a small snippet of what they're like:

Metal, it is the last element created, and it is not the strongest. It's bitten by fire, water, air, and time alike. It is the heaviest element, all with lithium and beryllium exempt created after carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which form the basic foundation of life. And despite its weight, metal can be bent, melded, malleable, or brittle. It takes many forms: iron, copper, zinc, nickel, silver, gold. Solid and liquid. We value it more than any material. We treasure it. We gift it in the form of a ring to the one we desire. It is the very core of our entire world.

Can you tell I'm a scientist? Yeah, thought so.
