Warmongers: A Tease

Or, Aphrodisiacs are worldbuilding, too

Published by C. L. Clark in writing Share

Earlier this week, I posted a bit of a process time capsule, something I originally wrote and intended to post back in April. I mentioned in it that I skipped ahead to write a cough certain scene, so I’ve decided to follow that post up with a snippet from that certain scene: the first bone. Ironically, under the influence of a maybe-magical but definitely potent aphrodisiac hallucinogen made of ground bone. Or, to be precise, horn. Actually, to be most precise, tusk.

How many times do you think my group chats have made 'horny' jokes? Whatever your guess is, the answer is higher.
