****This episode will probably need some sound editing in the next few weeks, but I wanted to upload as I haven't for a while. I will try to keep uploading once a month. Please note I am currently only uploading about once a month, as I revise the previous chapters- not for story, but for performances and sound effects.

MOMENTUS; Chapter 2
The One Hour War of the Exploding Toads
Something is going on? An invasion?
Life was supposed to work out perfectly. Everything was supposed to go as written.
The Prince on his White Horse sweeps into the Satisfied Land to claim the beautiful Princess but is met with a couple of nasty surprises; an invasion, and worst, a romantic rival. The General of the Invading forces is crude, ordinary and full of charisma, and steals the Prince’s grand moment.
In the meanwhile, the government of the Satisfied Land have never even contemplated an invasion and is in complete chaos, the people watch on in terror and amazement, and it is up to the Princess to save her country. Damn the romance, and suitors, she has more important things to do.

MOMENTUS - Chapter 4 - the First Meeting of the Almost-Round-Table
MOMENTUS - A Tale of Toil and Triumph
08/12/24 • 11 min
As the ‘Grand” Prince Aiden and his horse Roger venture further on their odyssey, the Satisfied Land begins its recovery from the invasion. With the invaders captured and securely held in prison, the leaders of the Satisfied Land convene around the parliamentary table to determine their future and the fate of the princess.
The anxious young princess watches in despair and helplessness as she observes her country’s unconventional semi-democratic process. Decisions are made for the future of their country and her own fate, by frankly, a bunch of clueless crackpots.
And then life goes on, as Princess Ayla reminisces about her true love- the love story ended before it began - the fragile moment that changed everything- and realises that nobody cares.
