Q - How long is an average fantasy novel in chapters?
A - Science fiction and fantasy novels typically have a word count between 90,000 to 125,000 words. The sweet spot, according to Donald Maas, is 100,000 to 115,000 words.
Q - How many pages (words) are in an average chapter?
A - Some will tell you 2,500 words is the average, while others will say that 3,000 to 5,000 word chapters are more likely to be the norm. Most agree that under 1,000 words would be rather short and that over 5,000 might be rather too long. As a general guideline, chapters should be between 3,000 to 5,000 words.
^Probably good to keep these notes nearby.
Thanks, Google! XD

Part 1:
Heart of the Reborn
Heart of the Reborn
There once was a Bird in a tree that reached high among the clouds
Singing songs of a Great Fish
Until a Serpent climbed up and devoured the Bird
And then there were no more songs...
Overture
"Where is it, Adarethue? What have you done with my Heart?"
"…You will never find it.”
She posed beside by her husband and king Deth'rakhaz with head held high, their beloved son just below in the folds of her white dress.
The opposing beast, the Meidran Royal-Master, molded his face into something of animosity towards her. At his side, his Commander awaited orders on how to proceed with this apparent trial.
No guards on either army were present.
No handmaidens. No servants. No citizens.
There were no other witnesses.
"If you will not return what you have stolen from me", the Royal-Master growled, eyes flashing a sinister shade of red, "then I will take what is most precious to you. Gemel, bring me the boy!" His Commander responded without hesitation, marching straightforward to retrieve the child at her feet.
But Adarethue did not waver. No matter how agonizing it was to watch Gemel pry her baby from her hands. Not even when her husband looked at her with desperation. Even when the Royal-Master smirked back at her, it only strengthened her resolve.
The monstrous man turned, walking back towards a swirling rift from whence he came, saying, "Nocture belongs to me now as long as you remain hiding my Heart, Adarethue. Return it to me in M'Xelninun, and you'll see your son again. Until then..."
She watched them disappear from the grand hall, tears now streaming from her mauve-colored eyes.
A whisper managed to escape her.
"We did it to save you..."
