Whatever happens, if Duane ever goes to actually read the entire book, I will so just BINGE that... If not, cool too, then I can binge read something :D
Alright, this may be an unusual question, but what is the name of the music in the background and at the end? Really love the feel it gave to the reading. Absolutely cannot wait for the book!
This adds more context to why Helgan was so 'kind' to Hyzenthlay - Hyzenthlay is no threat to Helgan, and thus Helgan sees no need to be aggressive or unnecessarily unkind to her.
That's one of the things I liked about how Helgan was presented. At her first appearance, she made it clear she may not like Hyzenthlay much, but she knew there was nothing to personally gain from being cruel to her.
@@wyntertheicewyvern6226 The way that Sam is writing her, it almost feels like he WANTS her to kind-of adopt a mentorship with Hyzenthlay. After all - she is the first, successful breed, of her kind. She fits nowhere and none would accept her, without scrutiny. While she does not accept sass, perhaps it was Hy's demonstration of courage & curiosity that interested her enough to allued to the fact that she is likely teaching the squirrel economics; after all, profit is power. I'm kinda excited to see if Hyzenthlay gets someone who legitametly grows to care for her, as her - rather than what she was made to do; make a race that is both kivouachian and earthly. A not-entirely immortal race, but a long-living one made to be strong and enjoy slendors of life without growing too bored or too needlessly cruel.
A beauteous creature of refined tastes and a lethal desire for perfection, she never punches down because those below her are the very steps she needs to climb higher in her ambitions. Nor, however, does she punch up, for that would betray her intentions and spoil the surprise. Instead, she plans and schemes and draws in everyone of use until nobody is left with anything worth a damn but her and those she deems worthy. By claw, hand, tail, tooth or foot, Helgan will perch upon the throne of her endeavors and never yield until she has what she wants. Wearing her own tail, still attached, like a feathered boa and strutting upon feet that naturally bring to mind stilettos, both the blade and boot variety, she keeps her nails meticulously cared for and sharpened, so that those she ends need not suffer.. unless she wants them to. Her angular face, captivating and encompassing draws all eyes from its position atop her lithe neck, her messy hair somehow more artfully expressive and colorful than even a field of flowers left untended. The shadows of said flowers decorate her body with their colors, hues of purple ranging from stark to subtle, her presence dwarfs nearly everyone else is the room regardless of their physical size. Such is the majesty of Helgan.
“Those below needed not fear her wrath, for Helgan always looked up... to those above.” DANG, that’s such a powerful quote. Once again, I’m left speechless at the word choices for this book. I’m so freaking excited to be able to eventually read it!! ✨
I love the intense detail because it's so descriptive and extremely interesting to listen/read. I'm so excited for the book just because of the rich wordings, hopefully bringing back this kind of writing style since most books I've read these days don't have such creative descriptions and unique world building.
Full disclosure, I could not stand Helgan at first. I thought she was a total B without much nuance or flare. Now with that introduction, I feel like the story would be robbed without her presence. Great models, great story. I can't wait for the full book to be released.
“Those below needed not fear her wrath, for Helga always looked up ... _to those above.”_ ... I got chills hearing that while seeing Helgan’s expression! 😖😖😖 Ohhh I really can’t stand the wait for this book! Thanks for another awesome teaser FENNAH 💙🐱💙
The descriptions, the tone, the prose... I havent had a story or characters ever grip me so strongly as these do. It makes me want to write again, and I thought I'd lost that years ago
I find myself continuously awestruck by the sheer skill and color with which this story is written and told. I am a fan of colorful storytelling, something that's unusual in modern books. Even when politics don't really interest me, I believe this book will be worth every cent.
Love it! Only bit I would maybe retract is when you were describing her tail. As much as I love the thought of her tail being like a dead animal, I think the latter portion explains it beautifully and more than enough. Also, Helgan and Winifred are my absolute faves.
It just gets more and more interesting. I can’t wait for the day we see Lockets’ original form and find out (hopefully) how Winfried fell from grace, aside from the bare fact Mandus (think that’s right..) was responsible.
She doesn't LIKE Ludwig... She's playing him. She in fact is a turncoat and helped Locket escape but she threw Hayden under the bus to make her look loyal. She doesn't just want Satellite City and even Locket is on her hit list, but she is smart and just goes up the ladder slowly...
All the while this was playing I was wracking my mind trying to figure out where I had heard that music from. And then it hit me. Bloodborne. Excellent choice sir, a perfect melody for hunter such as Helgan.
The wording, the narration and Helgan... Magnificent in every way! And this is almost torturous. Only getting these little tidbits of your book on rare occasion... I need to read it now gosh darn it!!!!
I haven’t been tuned into this channel for a long while, kinda stopped a couple years back... Now I’m rewatching it all, and damn I forgot how good you are at this stuff! Keep up the work, and the book. I’ll take some salt with my tea, thanks
WoW, I can Imagine the Ground Shaking and the Air trembling as She Strolls Past Foe and Friend! I bet when she cast Her stare above, Those She looks at feel a Cold Chill go up their spine no matter How BIG they ARE!
There is something distinctly respectable about an honest monster. The worst of beasts, cruelest of tyrants, and most destructive of plagues are far more often than not the ones that claim to be rightful and necessary. Or worse, beneficent. But an honest monster, one that can know and freely admit what they truly want? In the darkest of times, by their very definition, those are as close as we can get to heroes...
Brilliant as always! You have such talent with description, as an amateur writer i have to admit, im jealous! Im grabbing this book the minute its out.
My headphones are broken in a weird way, where depending on where I turn them, I can only hear apart of the audio. So I was listening to the background music on this for 5 minutes like an idiot being like “where’s the audio?” The background music is hella great though
What type of economy are we talking about in this world? Like, what do people do? Do they have like a food industry, a fashion industry, or building companies? How does a race this compeditive start a company without having it over run? Do normal people have money? What are the books made off of? Wood? What would they get raw material from in a world that does not seem to have any solid matter except for where it is forced to stay put? And a lot of other stuff..
Update: The soundtrack that compliments her attitude, the descriptions of her appearance and how she gained her power, and the general look of the models?? AMAZING!! 💖 I also liked the guest appearances of Wexle (with her hat
I think The August Few is one the only political dramas I'm actually interested in. The way everything is detailed to be so different yet so similar to what we already know in our world is fascinating. I can't wait to read the final product.
With Helgan now having a giant fluffy snake tail instead of legs will you rewrite the description of her showcased here in the book?? Or did she just change her anatomy a bit?? Like, instead of her legs being a retcon, she just canonically decided “nah, I don’t want legs anymore, I am now a snake” or something??
Love the character designs, but I have some random questions. If these guys have been around since before the big bang, why are they on Earth? Were they cast to the stars when the big bang happened, or have they only survived on Earth? Do they have space travel? Interdimensional travel? Did they have a hand in Earth's formation? Thanks in advance?
Another little preview of my forthcoming book, a sci-fi political drama of a kivic breed! The new Yeshua test will be next!
This is so cool!
Always love to see these previews!
When the book is out, where would I be able to buy it?
Whatever happens, if Duane ever goes to actually read the entire book, I will so just BINGE that... If not, cool too, then I can binge read something :D
Omg YAS it's finally out yay its amazing! I rlly can't wait till the book is finished keep up the good work Sam! 😊

"Describe Helgan without mentioning her size"
FENNAH: sweats

Wow, I clicked the comment section at the right time. He started saying this as soon as I saw your comment.
Helgen in a nutshell 😨
"A walking showcase of Overwhelming Body" is exactly how I describe Helgan. XD
Heck yeah boi 😍
Lol we all do
Wexle be like "I wanna be a cowboy baybee"
Okay but hearing her actually say that would be adorable and I would pay money to hear it.
Hell yeah!
That moment you realize that Helgan's feet are FLESH BOOTS
SHEESH, WHEN YOUR SO ON FLEEK ,YOUR PRACTICALLY BORN AS ONE!!!!
I love the intense detail because it's so descriptive and extremely interesting to listen/read.

Indeed so my cunning friend
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
cant wait for the full release, never been more excited for a book
Same
She is the CEO of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss
“Those below needed not fear her wrath, for Helga always looked up ... _to those above.”_ ... I got chills hearing that while seeing Helgan’s expression! 😖😖😖 Ohhh I really can’t stand the wait for this book!
Thanks for another awesome teaser FENNAH 💙🐱💙
The descriptions, the tone, the prose... I havent had a story or characters ever grip me so strongly as these do. It makes me want to write again, and I thought I'd lost that years ago
Everything about this preview is ABSOLUTELY breathtaking!!! The language, the details, everything!!
I find myself continuously awestruck by the sheer skill and color with which this story is written and told.
I am a fan of colorful storytelling, something that's unusual in modern books. Even when politics don't really interest me, I believe this book will be worth every cent.
I never knew Helgan's scarf was her tail! :3
She wears it lie a Boa.
Love it! Only bit I would maybe retract is when you were describing her tail. As much as I love the thought of her tail being like a dead animal, I think the latter portion explains it beautifully and more than enough. Also, Helgan and Winifred are my absolute faves.
Implying it as a dead animal gives credit to it being worn like a mink stole or feather boa.
Considering he redesigned her I think that’s taken care of yeah?
So that's why Fontaine slipped under her radar and in the show she has such a subtle yet pure hatred of him
"Helgan. The only creature in existence that can make Ludwig look like a fucking plushtoy."
-Sullivan Croft
It just gets more and more interesting. I can’t wait for the day we see Lockets’ original form and find out (hopefully) how Winfried fell from grace, aside from the bare fact Mandus (think that’s right..) was responsible.
For she always looked up
To those above
Why is that line so cool
1:52
"Macroeconomics" In other words
*"Bigg Stonks".*
I'm seriously looking forward to this book!
This introduction to Helgan makes me enjoy her a lot more then the scenes we got in Satellite City. I’m very excited to see more of her!
Is that why she likes Ludwig so much? Because he’s shorter?
Ludwig was the first person to publicly humiliate her, so maybe that's it?
She doesn't LIKE Ludwig... She's playing him. She in fact is a turncoat and helped Locket escape but she threw Hayden under the bus to make her look loyal. She doesn't just want Satellite City and even Locket is on her hit list, but she is smart and just goes up the ladder slowly...
@@cjandauntieyaya1446
Werent they a couple eons ago?
@@HeilRay - She eats her lovers... Ludwig still exists...
@@cjandauntieyaya1446
Then she clearly didnt eat all of them. Some might have escaped, or overpowered her temporarily.
*SO* looking forward to seeing how this story pans out!
I couldn't help but notice you used Father Gascoigne's theme from Bloodborne, quite fitting
YES! I was aggressively scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else noticed that-
All the while this was playing I was wracking my mind trying to figure out where I had heard that music from.
And then it hit me. Bloodborne. Excellent choice sir, a perfect melody for hunter such as Helgan.
Hot damn, 20 feet? That’s a lotta woman.
Well she's a giant what do you expect?
I LOVE THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTERS BOTH BY LOOKS AND PERSONALITY, YOU ARE AMAZING FENNAH!
your narrator is amazing, and the story is perfect
I saw that new character. Give me details!!
That's Methusa, she was featured in the original preview animatic : )
I WILL FYUCKING SELL MY KIDNEYS, PLEASE RELEASE THIS PRICELESS BOOK OF ART!!
Narrator: *Explaining Helgan's appearance wonderfully*
Me and Shuck: The big bitch?
1:48 Helgan: s t o n k s
Helgan: Look at this graph.
i just recently started listening to the snips of The August Few and im addicted. Im very much excited for this
The wording, the narration and Helgan... Magnificent in every way!
And this is almost torturous. Only getting these little tidbits of your book on rare occasion... I need to read it now gosh darn it!!!!
Helgan, a show of overwhelming power and thiccness
Your writing never ceases to amaze Sam!!
Every single update you post. Sam I am at a loss of words to convey just how dramatic these updates are. So wonderfully written!
SITTING OVER HERE AND IM IN LOVVEEEEEE
I'm beyond hyped for this book
I haven’t been tuned into this channel for a long while, kinda stopped a couple years back... Now I’m rewatching it all, and damn I forgot how good you are at this stuff! Keep up the work, and the book.
I’ll take some salt with my tea, thanks
I love this but can we talk about Wexle in a hat though
"Yeehaw"
Very well written sir! The description of both her looks and personality are amazing!
Hope to see more animatics like this. Gives me a look into what the world looks like and character depth.
This is incredible! Another bit of master piece that's left me wanting more! I Sooo can't wait for this book!
Absolutely amazing, I'm in awe! Maybe this world isn't so bad now. I may stay a while.
Finally!
I have been so happy just to see this!
WoW, I can Imagine the Ground Shaking and the Air trembling as She Strolls Past Foe and Friend! I bet when she cast Her stare above, Those She looks at feel a Cold Chill go up their spine no matter How BIG they ARE!
I can't wait to read your new book!

In the darkest of times, by their very definition, those are as close as we can get to heroes...
Bruh what a masterpiece. Excellent word choice.💖💕💕
So technically, Helgan is more of the "enemy of my enemy" type characters?
This is amazing! Can’t wait for the full release!
As expected another amazing video! Once the book is done, can you have your narrator read the entire thing? ^_^
God shel always be a dangerous conquest and the end was a perfect thing
I`ve gotta buy this book when im able to love every detail you do it reminds me of the world beautifull yet can be quite ugly at times
Your writing is so much more eloquent than your acting or UA-cam episodes 😂 I can't wait for the finished novel.
I've never stopped drawing so fast in my life. X-x
I literally do not care how much this book will cost take my money!
Your writing never ceases to amaze me.
The lore here is beyond amazing
Brilliant as always! You have such talent with description, as an
amateur writer i have to admit, im jealous!
Im grabbing this book the minute its out.
Can't wait to read the book when it comes out!!!
I demand to know when the book comes out!!! Because omg, you have an amazing way with words on top of your story!!+
Well Now I may have comonalities with this particular avatar ..>..> I love your work!!
Not a too into satellite city, but Helgen sounds like shes got great beauty AND brains. MAD RESPECT
I am _stoked_ for the release of your book!
I love the descriptions and story...and you used Gascoignes theme at the end...nice :)
To be honest the song that fits her pretty well is u96 Club bizarre its pretty fitting to be honest
Monsters and micro economics, a combo I was not prepared for
I hear boss music!
Me: Oh man I 'm loving all this new lorestuff about Helgan. This is some good stuff!!!
Also Me: Beasts all over the shop.......
Why high heeled feet though that is super cursed ._.
And this is why, shes ripe for contortion. Always a spicy beast 💙
Draft or not, absolute excellence!
The more August Few previews there are, the more I want to read it.
Dang!!!! What a video!! Looking forward to the book!!
Helgan has got to be my most favorite character from the seires, I hope to see more of her
What’s so amazing is seeing Helgan’s older model compare to her newer one❤️
the power Helgan holds and..wait a sec her high heels are ..her feet?! o.o wooo
and Markiplier would love to be around her
If that book comes out I will must definitely buy it.
My headphones are broken in a weird way, where depending on where I turn them, I can only hear apart of the audio. So I was listening to the background music on this for 5 minutes like an idiot being like “where’s the audio?”
The background music is hella great though
Superb
Simply surpurb.
Bravo indeed 👏
0 dislikes..
It better fucking stay that way
I would let her stomp on me
All jokes aside, she's amazing and very well written of a character.
What type of economy are we talking about in this world? Like, what do people do? Do they have like a food industry, a fashion industry, or building companies?

What would they get raw material from in a world that does not seem to have any solid matter except for where it is forced to stay put? And a lot of other stuff..
Lotta questions there, but it's all covered in the book. To put it simply, it's a free market economy of barter, services and reputation.
@@S.FENNAH Okay, cool! I think I understand it better now, thanks.^^
I did not know that was a her tail around her neck I literally thought it was a scuff.......now I probably need to read the book
Well. Let's hope our little squirrel doesn't climb too high.
Can't wait to buy this book! I'm so excited.
Yas boi it's here
OH SHIT I SEE MY QUEEN IN THE THUMBNAIL-
Update: The soundtrack that compliments her attitude, the descriptions of her appearance and how she gained her power, and the general look of the models?? AMAZING!! 💖
I also liked the guest appearances of Wexle (with her hat
Beautiful as always

Absolutely stunning
Sam I fucking LIVE for these
