International Women's Day

It always sneaks up on me, and this time I actually thought about doing something, but the avalanche of busy and other not-work-related issues (like a malfunctioning bathroom at my apartment...) kept me from putting hands to paper.

Still, I want to make it clear that this whole chapter is dedicated to International Women's Day, and to the start of operations of UN Women. Despite the opposition they've been facing, Derrexi and the Hawk Maidens still have it easy compared to women in the real world. This is partly because I'm keeping Nahast PG-13 and I'm not a fan of overusing tragedy and abuse as plot twists, nor I favor a political agenda over an entertaining tale (and Nahast is, after all, an adventure tale), instead, I want to present a positive example on many levels, one that is not force-fed to the readers but just plays there.

I have nothing deep or meaningful to say, so I'll return to clearing my deadline queue and work on the next update.
