Born of Rage
UPDATE: Change Logs and Other things
Previous ChapterWhile Born of Rage is technically finished, it is still a work in progress.
BoR-v1.12 Change Log
As of today, I have added extraneous media segments throughout the story to provide music at key events in the story. This is more for personal aesthetic reasons than anything else.
What follows is a change log containing information on what media was added, and where it can be found:
The Chapter 'Born of Fire' now contains the audio track 'Main Title' as heard in 'The Return of Godzilla'.
The Chapter 'Bathed in Blood' now contains the audio track 'Battra Attacks Nagoya' as heard in 'Godzilla and Mothra; Battle for Earth'.
The Chapter 'From the Sea' now contains the audio tracks 'Junior Vs Destroyah II' and 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah V' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah'.
The Chapter 'All Brought Low' now contains the audio track 'Destruction God's Descent' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs Spacegodzilla'.
The Chapter 'By Vengeful Hands' now contains the audio track 'Godzilla Vs Biollante - Wakasa' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs Biollante'
The Chapter 'Righteous Fury' now contains the audio track 'Oxygen Destroyer' as heard in 'Godzilla'.
The Chapter 'Roaring Storm Clouds' now contains the audio tracks 'Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah II' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah', 'Hyper Battle Area Suspense Normal' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs Spacegodzilla', and 'Main Title' as heard in 'Godzilla and Mothra; Battle for Earth'.
The Chapter 'Blackest Day' now contains the audio tracks 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah: Main Title/ Hong Kong Destruction', 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah I', 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah II', 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah III', 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah IV', 'Godzilla Vs Super X III' and 'Super X III Sortie' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah'. Also included are the tracks 'Godzilla Vs Mothra' and 'Battra's Theme: Faster Version Full Size' from 'Godzilla and Mothra; Battle for Earth, as well as the track 'Farewell my Homeland' from 'Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah' and the track 'Godzilla Arrives at Oshima' as heard in 'The Return of Godzilla'.
The Chapter 'The Final Say' now contains (in addition to the already present track 'Ending' from 'The Return of Godzilla') the audio track 'Godzilla at the Ocean Floor' as heard in 'Godzilla'.
The Epilogue, 'Nature Has a Way' now contains the audio track 'Ending' as heard in 'Godzilla Vs Destroyah'.
...
The First three chapters have also undergone minor editions in spelling and punctuation. However, nothing of import has been truly changed.
A new side-story has been uploaded to the site. It covers an unseen moment that takes place during the chapter 'Roaring Storm Clouds', and follows the character of Hauptmann Spitzer as he confronts his father for the first time in thirty years. The link to it can be found HERE.
Finally, I have two new art pieces pertaining to the story. They are actually fairly old, but I could never find an appropriate chapter in which to put them.
This is one of the first concept pieces I made, shortly before publishing the first chapter. If it looks rushed, that's because it was.

This is the revised title piece, which I finished around the time that 'The Hand of Fate' was published. This would, in theory, be the actual cover art for the story, however, I decided against it due to the fact it is not colored and I really didn't want to spend so much time messing with it in Photoshop. Perhaps in the future I might do it though.

BoR-v1.23 Change Log
Minor typographical errors have been corrected
Work has now begun on an official timeline for the BoR cannon, as such, many errors involving given time have been corrected in anticipation of the published timeline.
The Chapter 'Bathed in Blood' - An instance where Gho'Zra was spelled incorrectly has been corrected to coincide with later chapters.
The Chapter 'From the Sea' - the length of time that had passed from the atomic test to the present time of the chapter has been changed from eleven weeks to sixteen weeks in order to correct a discrepancy in the overall timeline (had it remained eleven weeks, this would have meant that Gho'Zra would have had to have gone back in time after destroying the Happy Dragon No. 7 in order to arrive on the island when he did).
The Chapter 'A Rising Flood' - The chapter has undergone minor editions to textual and typographical errors, as well as the restructuring of a few sentences.
The Chapter 'Darkness Spreads' - An instance where Gho'Zra was spelled incorrectly has been corrected to coincide with later chapters. The ethnic name of Promised Point has been correctly changed in order to line up with prior chapters. The chapter has also undergone slight textual corrections. A handful of extra words were added to insure clarity was maintained during dialogue.
The Chapter 'Across the Land' - Major textual inclusions have been added to this chapter for the sake of coherency; I have had to add entire sentences in order to make sense of some portions of the story. I was most likely inebriated when I was typing much of this chapter. An instance where Gho'Zra was spelled incorrectly has been corrected to coincide with later chapters. Finally, an entire footnote was actually added, because I somehow missed it! Furthermore, I've reconfigured the footnote system to conform with those found in later chapters, as this was the first chapter I used footnotes in, and thus it was highly experimental.
The Chapter 'All Brought Low' - Words have been changed for portions of this chapter to allow for more clarity. Formatting styles have been implemented, and a few spelling errors have been corrected. Superfluous words and statements have been redacted, and at least one paragraph has been re-positioned in order to better streamline the overall narrative.
The Chapter 'By Vengeful Hands' - Only minor changes to grammar, and few spelling errors have been corrected. Finally, a footnote has been added to explain one potential discrepancy.
The Chapter 'Righteous Fury' - Entire sentences have been both redacted and added for the sake of clarity and consistency. Punctuation errors have been fixed, and grammar structure improved in several key areas. References to prior events have been normalized into the overall flow. The occurrence of no less than three repeating sentences has been removed.
The Chapter 'Burning Hate' - Nothing major, just a few textual changes and punctuation added. Form-tense of several words have been changed to allow for smoother reading.
The Chapter 'None Can Stay' - Mention of 'Operation Feuerschein' has finally been added to this chapter - it is in my original copy of this chapter, and I can't for the life of me figure why it wasn't in the final draft. I'll chalk it up to user error and leave it at that. A very minor change in regard to verb-tense has been added in several places to insure smoother reading.Format style changes have been added to many words which should have had them to begin with. Several instances of run-on sentences have been corrected, and a number of new words have been added to better facilitate sentence comprehension; there were several instances of entire sentence topics being dropped in favor of tangents. The number of days alluded to in the first section has been changed from two to three. Handful of words have been removed for the sake of clarity. Major changes have been made to the beginning of the second section to comply with the actual time of day - e.g. it is cold in the morning, as opposed to hot. An instance where Gho'Zra was spelled incorrectly has been corrected to coincide with later chapters. The world 'Colonel' has been completely expunged from this chapter and replaced with the analogous title of 'Oberst'. A series of strange style formatting phenomena have been either corrected or removed. Reference to the Wüstenläufer Regiment has been reinstated as well.
The Chapter 'The Hand of Fate' - Extremely minor editions made. Simple two letter words added, and one word reconfigured to convey a less ambiguous meaning.
The Chapter 'Roaring Storm Clouds' - Several editorial omissions, including one extreme instance of timing inconsistency. Reference to Katzereich colonial holdings have been made more overt to further build upon prior portions of the preceding chapter. The rare occurrence of a dangling participle has been ruthlessly eliminated, and replaced with a proper sentence structure at the beginning of the act two.
The Chapter 'Blackest Day' - very minor editing of punctuation - a lack of closing quotation marks was notable for much of this chapter and can only be attributed to the effects of my insomnia. The word 'pintel' has, strangely enough, been added. Further expository language has been added to a scene in which Gho'Zra falls into a minefield in order to provide better clarity. The word 'rolled' has been substituted by 'cart-wheeled' in order to better convey the action of a particular scene.
The Chapter 'Death Shall Have' - Several lines have been rewritten in order to comply with prior paragraphs. Further lines have been reorganized to allow for better comprehension. A few words that should have been there to begin with have now finally been added. There have also been a few spelling errors corrected. Surprisingly, there were no punctuation issues to speak of.
The Chapter 'The Final Say' - An entire sentence was added to the tent scene in order to correct a intro-canonical error. Punctuation errors were corrected, and a few minor words were added to fix certain mistakes.
Work has finally come to a close upon the short story, "Born of Rage - Night Terror", a side-story which covers the fate of the Pegasus Fluttershy, and takes place between the chapters "Roaring Storm Clouds" and "Blackest Day". It has finally been approved, and can be found using a link provided on Born of Rage's synopsis page.
BoR-v1.3 Changelog
A new original cover image has finally been made and implemented.
A third round of editions have been made to insure integrity of the story.
Work is currently being made on the new story 'Born of Rage: Underworld'. It will be finished most likely before February of 2016.
Author's Note
Sorry, this isn't a chapter; it's a change log - one that will continually receive periodic updates until at such time as I have perfected this story and feel that there is no more need to update it.
You are free to ignore this and go about your business. However, I would strongly advise rereading the entire story with the new elements included; I actually finished doing just that, and I'm actually fairly impressed with how good it managed to come out in the end!
However, if you don't feel like doing that, I would instead make a request of you; please, spread the word about this story. Provide links, offer reviews, what ever it takes. I want this story to be seen by as many people as possible. If this sounds selfish, that's because it rather much is. I've spent a lot of time and effort in making this story, and while I have been nothing if not pleased, I would nevertheless like it if more people were to actually read it.
All in all, this story has been a fantastic experience, and I'm glad I wrote it. Thank you all, and God bless.
Sincerely,
Gustauve Drakenhime III
