Hi Everyone,
With the resistance out of the way, Tiberius shifts his focus on Orcilla and the cult tribe. He decides he will go to the West Camp to lead a military campaign against them. He leaves his adopted son, Duffo, in charge while he is gone.
Orcilla has recreated Pardi’s 19CE serum. She tries it out on a follower, and when it proves successful, she gives it to the High Philosopher. A short while later, Demadrian finalises his version of the serum. He instructs Orcilla to administer it to him and Julio. Demadrian goes through a tumultuous transformation but is able to survive. Julio does not seem to respond at all but remains alive in a deep coma.
Miro comes up with a plan to drive the cult tribe out into the open. This involved disrupting their power supply and source of light. The High Philosopher, Orcilla and Demadrian decide they need to act before they are forced to the surface. They make a move towards the Downs Region. This forces Tiberius and his enforcers out of the West Camp to confront them.
The cult’s bold move towards the Downs Region left the underground city unguarded. Tiberius anticipated this would be the case. He sent Cecil and another contingent of enforcers to invade them.

I am writing a trilogy of books titled Sapien Loop. The first in the series is Sapien Loop: End of an Era and the second is Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time. I published both of these books as ebooks on Amazon, and I have posted completed chapters to my 
In 2025, I wrote a short stories book about some of the characters and their adventures. This book is now available on Amazon. I have also posted these stories to my
This story is based on the fictional planet Sapia and its sole country, Sapey. Sapey is portrayed as a form of utopia for all its citizens. No poverty. No war. Almost no crime. Opportunities for all.
This was enough for most citizens, but not all. In one of the small regions, some of the citizens had become discontent. They felt something important was missing in their lives. Their discontent did not go unnoticed. Some of the Sapey elite wanted to weaponise this discontent to gain more power. This created more chaos than they anticipated. This led to further widespread social unrest.
On top of the chaos, ambition and greed provoked another enemy. This enemy was on a mission to settle both new and old scores.
This story is based six years after the original story. The Downs Region is still suffering from a serious health crisis caused by the contaminated water. The main characters are desperately trying to find a cure for the illness that has been caused by the water.
One of the main characters has discovered frozen humanoids in hidden chambers. It appears they have been frozen for a long time. These chambers connect to a vast network of tunnels. While exploring the tunnels, one of the frozen humanoids disappears. It appears he has been stolen.
The story takes a step back in time to tell the story of the frozen humanoids. How and why were they frozen? This part of the story also explains the fall of ancient Sapey and the birth of the Sapiens. Can those from the past be able to coexist with those from the present?
