Rebecca's story isn't over; it's just begun. We check in on her family on Earth as they move on, and our favorite narrator has a few things to say about that.

Previously on The Queen of the Underverse… Lyrie chose to stay behind, freeing the remaining Memory Orphans. Chalky and S’Rah, left with no good options, improvised a plan to save Rebecca. Sometimes a plan is just waiting and hoping it holds. Then there are the plans you don’t survive unchanged. Ye saga continues…

A Note from Yuunral Naretar, Archivist of Questionable Accuracy, Interrupter of Authorial Intent: So, our dear Foto Dono claims he is “knee deep” in final edits for the book. Let me assure you, readers — I’ve seen the drafts. He is not knee deep. He is swimming in edits. He is marinating in edits. At this point, he is 73% caffeine, 12% panic, 9% misplaced semicolons, and 6% “WHY DID I WRITE THIS SCENE LIKE THIS?” He insists the book will release on December 15th, “whether he’

From the unofficial biography of Queen Lyra - Monarch or Mad Immortal Woman, written by Yuunral Naretar. This is the introduction from the twenty-volume set, located in the biography section of the Unwritten Library, situated on the eastern shores of the Fallen Sea. A Brief History of Queen Lyra - The Last Queen of the Underverse - By Yuunral Naretar

Previously on The Queen of the Underverse…Trapped in a sealed room with no clear escape, Rebecca finds herself at the mercy of Kai and Asher. Her greatest fear isn’t for herself, but for S’Rah, the Memory Orphan she’s sworn to protect. Time is slipping through her fingers, and the walls are closing in. Meanwhile, Chalky and Lyrie begin their search. Together, they’re the Underverse’s last, best, and only chance of reaching Rebecca and S’Rah before it’s too late.

She once drifted beside Sarah Mitchel, friendship forged in silence and oxygen. Together they laughed at the absurdity of surviving in space—until the stars lied, and the Doorwhere opened. Rebecca Lopez fell through light, memory, and myth into a world where dreams have teeth and gods forget their names. She found allies, a child, and hope. Now the void has swallowed her—and the hope she called S’Rah is lost.

Previously on The Queen of the Underverse…Commander Rebecca Lopez, an astronaut lost in space, stepped through the Doorwhere from Everywhere into the Underverse—a realm of memory, myth, and madness. She’s found unlikely allies: a marble woman, a half-lizard Provider, a living blanket, and younglings born of memories. One—S’Rah—has captured her heart. But darkness has found her again in Amberford, where memories are currency.

I still remember the first time I saw one of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photographs. It wasn’t about sharpness or fancy gear — it was about timing. That impossible instant where movement, emotion, and geometry align for a heartbeat, and then vanish forever. As a photographer, I’ve chased that moment more times than I can count. Sometimes I find it; sometimes it slips past, just out of reach. But Cartier-Bresson made me realize that the true art of photography isn’t about pressin

Previously on The Queen of the Underverse…Rebecca’s world tilts after saving Shean and the younglings. Chalky and Firecloak hunt her trail through Amberford’s winding streets. In the corners of the Market, Kai’s shadows wait—and hunger. Now comes laughter, shopping, and memories… before the dark remembers them back. Ye saga continues…

Previously on The Queen of the Underverse… Rebecca finally made it to Amberford—after a few totally unplanned detours and heroic delays. Along the way, she discovered some new abilities and saved an entire bus full of kids (because that’s just how she rolls). Now- She takes a breather… and learns that Amberford isn’t quite what it seems. Ye saga continues…

Ever looked at a photo and wondered why some scenes feel almost flat, while others pull you straight inside the frame? That’s the quiet magic of expansion and compression—the way your lens can bend space and perception. In this post, I’ll show you how distance and focal length shape what you see (and feel) through the camera. No formulas, no rocket science—just a little visual wizardry I use every time I shoot.

The AI Brain Tremors are Comming! The problem with artificial intelligence starts with the name. “Intelligence” suggests something human, conscious, and self-directed, but today’s AI isn’t any of those things. It doesn’t think in the abstract or reason about the world. It produces results by recognizing patterns and reflecting the data—and the prompts—we feed into it. The real danger isn’t that machines are becoming human; it’s that humans mistake mimicry for mind. AI is not

Previously on The Queen of the Underverse…Rebecca is on her own — but along the way, she ends up saving a bus full of kids… or younglings, as they call themselves. In the process, she discovered a side of herself she didn’t know existed — one that could fight, bleed, and protect those who needed her most. Now— She’s finally reached Amberford, marking the first quarter of her journey home. Hopefully, there won’t be any more delays… Ye saga continues…

Tales from the Memory Market were never written down. They can’t be. The Memory Market Council wouldn’t allow it. However, they can be found in the Unwritten Library located on the eastern shores of the Fallen Sea. There are over 1000 volumes. The following tale is from a collection of stories by a Memory Market Merchant called Auntie Myne. She likes to think she’s being kind. This is her last story before she disappeared.

Queens leave fancy notes. Providers leave warnin’s. Blue moon’s up. Aetherrucks hummin’. Younglings in cages tryin’ not ta cry. I’m bleedin’ a bit—don’t make a fuss. If ya see a dagger in mah back, do me a kindness and don’t pull it out. Cursed things got rules. Rebecca? Folks whisper Queen when she runs past with that big damn tree. Maybe she is, maybe she ain’t. Crowns don’t matter much when bars need bendin’. She laughs in a storm and still carries ya out of it.

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world around me. Living in Florida, with its diverse landscapes and breathtaking night skies, I find endless inspiration. Over the years, I have developed a deep passion for capturing these scenes in a way that transcends color - through monochrome landscape techniques. This approach allows me to emphasize texture, contrast, and mood, creating timeless fine art prints that tell a story beyond the visible spectrum.

Ah, Chapter 15. Strange, isn’t it? I’m dead, and yet my voice still trails after the story like perfume on an empty throne. That’s the trouble with queenship in the Underverse — you never quite leave, even when you’re gone. Rebecca thinks she’s only carrying a tree trunk. She imagines herself improvising, astronaut-turned-barbarian, battering her way through mercenaries. But we both know she’s hefting something heavier: the kind of weight that decides who lives and who doesn’

Photography is more than just capturing moments - it’s about sharing a story, a feeling, a connection to the world around us. For me, that story unfolds in the breathtaking landscapes of Florida and the mesmerizing Milky Way above. Through my lens, I strive to freeze those moments in time and transform them into fine art that speaks to the soul. If you’re looking to buy landscape photo prints that bring a piece of that wonder into your space, you’re in the right place.

Ah, Chapter 14. Rebecca stumbles forward, clinging to her little notions of courage and family. She believes she’s rescuing children, defying mercenaries, and being the noble astronaut. What she doesn’t see is how easily her newfound “strength” could crush the very things she’s trying to save. She thinks it’s training. It isn’t. It’s corruption. The Underverse doesn’t hand out power without a price, and I know exactly what that price is.

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, primarily through the breathtaking landscapes of Florida and the mesmerizing Milky Way. Capturing these moments is only part of the story. The real magic happens when these images transform into fine art prints that bring a piece of that wonder into your space. Over the years, I’ve discovered how photography printing services can elevate your work and open new doors for artists and collectors alike.
