this chapter leaves me with varying emotions i must say. Firstly i was disappointed that there was no fight, but i suppose that was the best option, one must learn to be flexible and go with the flow this was very wise of Dalen instead of fighting with the super powered mage lol. Secondly i was confused, why is the guys anger abating, and why is the old quenk' (Selenay) congratulating him for being chosen. I was confused because didn't she really not want him to be chosen, you know the saying misery loves company kind of. Is she finally showing her soft side, or is it that she actually wanted to get chosen as well, so she is congratulating him for what she was not able to attain, well as i said confused.
I was also angry with Dalen for giving in to the mage and a little confused at his response and reactions. And i was a little bit angry at Selenay not as in the previous chapter but still, she is just too happy go lucky for one who is basically selling out her country, even if it is for peace, seeing as the enermy was set to fight to the death so to speak.
The i was relieved and happy and excited when i finally realized what Dalen's plan was so i am anxious to see how this escape plan plays out. Brilliant piece of magic there, to be able to communicate through the mage lights genius. A great chapter as usual, A story is good when reader can love one character and love other, when the readers are getting emotional over the activities of the character as if they are real, this proves this story is great.
