Update : Will Chronicles of Mystery ever update again? If you're asking yourself this question, then thank you, it flatters me. If you're not, pretend you are, it will also flatter me. And the answer is maybe. Hopefully. When? This is a too precise question. When Ancient Greece will stop having so many dates to remember, when German will stop having such a complicated language structure. I would like to write again but I don't have much time at all. I shouldn't even be writing announcements and should instead read another Wikipedia article about the battle of Marathon. It will get better... In two or three years... Yep. Is this an answer? No, but we don't get what we want in life. Plus I'm planning to rewrite the entire thing but better, so it's not over, more like Sleeping Beauty, waiting for a while in her castle. I will get there.

Greetings everyone (I am a little ambitious in the number of people who are going to read this, aren't I?). This is an update on my incredible life that surely all of you are interested in. I'm just here to give some news and I feel incredibly egotistical making an announcement out of it. I have settled nicely in my dorms and started school. Pressure is... something and everyone is smart, how dare they? I have the pleasure (or not) of getting acquainted personally with Latin and ancient Greek as well as many other kinds of fun, like reading Goethe in German when I barely have the level to ask where the toilets are. Overall, I feel fairly nice and I have found people with whom I can converse and scare on a daily level by showing how psychologically disturbed I can be. And I haven't even started talking about making automatons out of your relatives! I also feel very fancy, because I am right in the middle of Paris and I get to walk around like I am Emily in Paris, except I'm not named Emily, I'm not American and I don't work for a luxury brand. But I'm in Paris! And I can pretend to be smart by going to fancy libraries to work and pretend like I understand how the books are sorted.

@LiebeKlara Thank you XD! I haven't been accepted yet though and I don't know if I will, they only have a very limited number of people who get in each year. Either way, I just want to improve in general as a person and learn as much as I can. I hope everything is going well for you in your life.

@rebecca_batteur Wow! ENS! You’re so smart. Best luck with your exams! I’m looking forward to the new enlightend author Rebecca :)

@LiebeKlara I major in EVERYTHING. No, just kidding (almost). I'm going through a special kind of establishment that prepares its students to pass the exam for ENS (a very famous French school, maybe you've heard of it), so I basically have all these subjects at the same time, learning Greek and Latin, French and English (luckily for me, I was allowed to drop German, because it's a bit too much for me and I clearly don't have the skills). It is a lot of fun, I just hope I'll be good enough. But I can't wait to go back to writing after I've finished these two years. I feel like I'll be a lot more enlightened as a person and an author and I keep having new ideas along with the will to rewrite my entire book. It's quite exciting.

Hello! It's been a while. I'm leaving on Sunday to go set up at my new school, this means a long break from Wattpad (not that I was particularly active recently), though I hope I'll have enough time once in a while to go back and update a chapter or read someone else's chapter. I still don't know just how much work I'll have to do so... Until then, thank you to everyone who has read my story, I really appreciated all your comments and, hopefully, you'll get to read more in the future.

I'm finally done with my big final exams! I just have an oral exam coming up but after that, I'll be entirely free to devote myself to reviews and exchanges for a little while. Thank you for your patience! 
          On a side note, I'm writing right now about young Alistair, his past (yes it finally gets revealed but not now) and, to be honest, I'm comparing the two characters, how he acts now that he is older and, let me tell you, he is a loooot softer than he used to be. I almost can't believe the level of aggression I manage to fit into each of his dialogues.

Haven't updated in a while, I'm caught with my final exams next week but I wanted to get some chapters out. They're not my best ones, they're okay at best. I'm going to tell you the truth: they are boring, very boring. So boring that you'll want to curse but you won't be able to because you don't know my full name. 
          Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. I'll use a bad metaphor to explain: the first one is like a big bad shit you have to take, you know it's going to be terrible to get it out but you have to do it anyway. That's why I'll try to post two today, at least one of them will be interesting. And the second one even has, behold, dialogue! Wow, so much action! I'm shivering behind my screen like the little adrenaline-filled punk that I am. I'm so hip, like the young people say.

@ DeejayDJ010  Yeah, some of mine too but I pretend like I don't see it

Okay, so I just need to make this announcement really quick. I haven't updated Chronicles of Mysteries in a while, not because I don't want to anymore but because I have been particularly busy these last few weeks. It'll be a few more weeks until I'm completely free to do all my late assignments, including the reviews I ought to make. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten, I just have to focus on other things for now. 
          I also wanted to say something more important. In a few months, maybe in August or September, I'll be going on a long hiatus, this means I won't update anymore and won't participate in exchanges like before but I will complete the ones I've started before that. I'll also give up on reviews (not before completing the ones I've already agreed to do). 
          This isn't bad news, nothing terrible is happening to me. This is actually great for my future. This is a bit personal, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. I'll be graduating in less than a month and my exams are coming very soon. I also already know I've been accepted into the school of my dreams but it'll ask me to work non-stop for two years. I obviously won't have the time to properly be on Wattpad. This doesn't mean I'll be gone forever, hopefully, and I still have a few months before me. 
          I just wanted to give some kind of warning, I guess and also an age reveal I suppose? 
          Have a good day and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my story! I appreciate your dedication and I want you to know that this project won't be abandoned any time soon, hopefully.

@rebecca_batteur No worries I’m just rather shocked by your talent compared to your age:P

@LiebeKlara :), sorry I guess. If you want, you can think of me as an imaginary person who's not actually real. Maybe I'm just a robot and lied to all of you

A complete draft of Chronicles of Mystery volume 1 is approximately done (for the fourth time or something) and we're up to a total of more than 500 pages! Wow. It's... somewhat of an accomplishment. I've changed the story a bunch of times but I feel like this time might be the closest to the final product. I guess I'll see. I still need to change a few details about the last part but it's essentially finished I suppose. I don't know how you will find it when you get to read it. It's not perfect yet I fear.

Okay, so, there are a few things I haven't done yet that I need to do, and I'll get to that soon, but I have updated Chronicles of Mystery. From my totally unbiased point of view, I can tell you that this chapter is very unique. To be completely honest, it's not a bad chapter, you can insights (kind of) into the backstories of both Alistair and Lucy (finally, you might say). There are emotions, crying, someone takes their clothes off, it's amazing. It's dramatic, with heavy descriptions because you know me. Why write about something if you don't tell the writers exactly what it smells and tastes like, even if it's hair? Also, I never thought I would get this fast to this part so... This is a little bit scary.

rebecca_batteur

So, nothing really interesting to say (no new chapter, don't worry, one time a week is enough for me too). I've just decided that it would be better to put Chronicles of Mystery as a mature story (maybe you've noticed but it wasn't like this before).
          I thought I could avoid it for the first volume, though I knew that volume two (if it ever sees the light of day) would inevitably be not very PG13 if you get what I mean. I thought that I could keep volume one non-mature but it seems like my unquenchable thirst for blood cannot be stopped (or maybe I just don't do enough to stop it). Okay, listen, given the last very bloody scenes I've written, I've came to the conclusion that this was maybe not very kid-friendly (like being turned into a robot through a Frankenstein-like transformation is). I couldn't stop myself from being extra-dramatic and adding very mature content (it's not erotica, I wouldn't be able to write erotica, even if my life depended on it, my writing would be way too awkward and I wouldn't have the last idea of what to write). 
          But, listen, how many fictional murders does it take for it to count as an actual murder? Because that's the real question here (if you have an answer, email it to me so I can try to put down the mass murders I've created).
