A lot to unpack from this chapter, it may take a second read...what was the reason for the argument between the siblings? We still don't know who the two people are who died, were they part of the disagreement between Marc and his sister?

I have been suitably forewarned..... Occasionally things happen that prevent an author from meeting the deadline. If you need an extension, contact Valkyrie before the deadline (not the day of or after), and something may be able to be worked out.

And we learn another valuable use for baseball bats and the applied physics of cranial interaction...Right now the best that could happen is for the cabin to burn down... How in the fu@k do we go from this to the end of the evening???? "Yeah," Nate said. "It was just you and me for so long. I wanted to give you the world. But...things change, kiddo. And that's okay." Caleb's frown deepened, his arms tightening around himself. "But what if it's not okay? What if...what if I lose you?" Nate's expression softened, his eyes warm with reassurance. He scooted closer, wrapping an arm around Caleb's shoulders and pulling him into a loose hug. "Hey, listen to me," he said firmly. "You're my son, Caleb."

I can't disagree with any of the comments, hoping to all get out that Peter Motts not only emasculated but castrates his youngest daughter. That as a neutered person, she's left to wallow in her own self-made misery... This was another standout chapter with so many interconnecting threads and yet again, the addition of two new 'lost' boys and the discovery of more names belonging to the deck...the trail is no longer cold but getting increasingly warmer... For what it is worth, this story reminds me of the Bayeux Tapestry, link below, not for what it represents but the enormity of life it portrays. Bayeux Tapestry - Wikipedia

Just who was/is the man with only one eye left in the chair???

Anduin is a troublesome snake and Clair is troublesome, we need a revolution and upend this society....

What could possibly go wrong/right???

A parable and some foreshadowing here....

Do pen lights count? Ralph shrugged, “OK. Do it.” He turned to Ivor, “So, our crotches are going to be all over the internet.” “Milly says I need to stop hiding my light under a bushel.” Beth laughed, “So, that’s what it’s called.”

Glad to see they have expanded their numbers to properly defend themselves... Not sure I would seek employment servicing/maintaining the castle, the HR Department must be non-existent and the benefits don't pay enough if one messes up feeding the pets..... Thomas smiled, a sinister glint in his eyes. “He is much calmer than before. He has been handled,” he replied, his voice dripping with satisfaction. “That is good news,” Vladimir said, a cruel smile spreading across his face. “And so has Elena, who fed the wolves. It was so kind of her.”

I sense a fated mate out among the asteroids...and high time for a plasma burst or two up some pirate backsides...Mike is a conundrum, no???

Time to call Gramps..... Mom does need to lighten up a tad...And Dad needs to take better care of his health...

Very intriguing to say the least

And what services will the boys be required to perform????

Oh my...no rubbers....what could possibly happen/not happen.....
