All I got is...

From his dreams earlier about the tower, his steps have been leading to this. Now...how does Darren get to the tower, through a dreamscape, and what of the one who bound his power to the Deathbringer? Where will they be?

Hope you have a fan or two, no @weinerdog I meant the kind that blows...air on you... I'll be across the pond in November, hoping cooler weather hits by then... Loved this Thursday short!!

Both are very strong, and valid points....

Now...if he were to be a doctor, one has to wonder what his medical specialty would be???? One million worthless bonus points for the first correct answer...

Dang it...and here I was hoping for a meteor hitting that mud puddle I mentioned in the last chapter... Seriously tho, well done and enjoyable!!

The snippet below informs me that the god fearing wann-be christians have crossed several legal lines, with serious consequences. While not conversant in Australian law, it is based on the common shared English principles, and I'd throw the F'cking book at them... Liam kept a protective and reassuring arm around Mark as he talked. “They even started harassing the company Mark worked for and accused the company of all sorts of things just because Mark worked there. In the end it got too much, and that's when Mark decided he had to move away from Adelaide. He moved to Sydney. His company was supportive and helped him find a job here. He's been staying with his aunt. She’s Mark’s mother’s sister and she has never been associated with the church, so she was OK for Mark to stay with her. But somehow the church found out and now his aunt is getting abusive, harassing and even threatening calls and messages.” The following is not far off the mark, and it is very concerning For those who wonder how something like this could happen...the following link will give you pause.... Warren Jeffs - Wikipedia

Time to do some quiet investigating, hire a lawyer, and why do I suspect the news won't be good and both boys do a runner???

With this author...it's gonna take some time, like not tomorrow, the day after, not the week after with so many chapters remaining...

Such interesting creatures we humans are, the ability to create or cause pain in others we can't see or feel...They say time heals all wounds; some will take a lifetime. Be well my friend.

From the Prologue...And out of curiosity, what exists now at the location of the modest stone hall mentioned below? Along the shore stood clustered cottages with smoke drifting from their chimneys. Nearby lay a small market square where nets and barrels were stacked, and beyond it a modest stone hall that served as both meeting place and refuge when storms came down from the headlands. While it may not have anything to do with anything, it just stuck out in my mind.

One might say it was a sharp and pointed day...

What better way to script an ignominious end than to land face down in a pile of horsecrap... I've often thought that shining a light on ignorance and stupidity is one of the best ways to combat it, especially when asking those who spout such drivel to ask them to intellingently cite their sources. Or, as Jack Webb would say in the old TV show Dragnet, "just the facts, ma'am, just the facts, ma'am".... When found to be spouting nonsense, humor, laughter is a disinfectant par none....

In January of 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill south of San Francisco. By April of that year, word had gotten out, causing a stampede west of inconceivable numbers. Fortunes were made and lost in supplying those with gold fever. Many businesses went belly up while a few succeeded. Yet in Hawaiʻi, fortunes await to be made by those who grasp how the island's economy runs... This should be very interesting...

How many of these lives will he remember??? Will they learn something to break the cycle?

Settling in has become part of a routine that has yet to form into something that can be identified....Marcus learns that everyone says things with words they don't believe

Just loved it...checkmate you old gezzer.... "I assure you, Mr. Tyrell, my intentions for this evening are entirely honorable," Declan said smoothly, his tone even and entirely devoid of fear. "Furthermore, I have already taken the liberty of reviewing Aethelgard Omnicare’s recent SEC filings for the third quarter. Given your current aggressive expansion into the European pharmaceutical markets, your immediate liquidity is simply not structured for a hostile land-acquisition takeover in this zip code without triggering a massive federal antitrust audit. Sir." And kudos for the leather jacket...now aim for the return of the pompadour.

I'm sorry, most everyone wearing the heavy armour of asshole, that I've had the displeasure of meeting, is, was, and always be an asshole.... This "date' coming up should be interesting, and remember Andy has topped that little energizer Siberian husky, AKA MacDaddy....sup brah....dig my rizz?

Lucas and Ronan are just something else...they will end up ruling the pack as an earlier commentator suggested... Now...How does Barnaby fit in to ending Andy 's father? Another immortal????

Poor Andy, caught between the pharmaceutical companies who want his secret to longevity and his sire. Hopefully they take both of themselves out, with the aid of a fluffy husky... and a determined pack willing to defend their own. Anyone got a cup of silver nitrate??? Perhaps Mom has it in the spice cabinet... Esca’s smile returned. It was a masterpiece of cold, calculated terror.

A ploy that could have backfired,... ‘I’m trying out the number of Sander B.’s missing phone in the hope it’d start ringing in somebody’s pocket here in the crowd. It did not. I guess it isn’t here or it’s turned off.’

Not only is it a comedy of errors, but it is also becoming predictable. In the next chapter, a meteor hits a mud puddle while Mark approaches, but Sandro's back is turned....Oy vey....

My prediction.... When they look back on the beginning of their relationship, it will always be about the boots that started it...that's my story, and I am sticking to it...

Loved this chapter, brought back memories of hiking in the White Mountains in New Hampshire, obviously no comparison to the Alps. One favorite three-day hike: From Appalachia Trailhead to Madison Springs Hut, the next day up to the top of Mt Adams, then to Mt Washington and overnight at Lakes of the Clouds Hut, next day down to Crawford Notch. What I loved best about this chapter was the time spent above the treeline, stargazing, as it was one of my favorite parts of hiking. Oh, the memories...thanks!!!

@centexhairysub, best comment of the day, well done... Now the following gives me pause “Aaron isn't himself right now. You don't know his history. Perhaps you will one day.” Her gaze drifted toward the window. “But he has suffered a loss no one should have to survive. Men like Calder have a vicious way of dragging that darkness in him back to the surface. If I don't give him a legitimate transition of power to focus on, he's going to find Calder and execute him.” Then, this makes me wonder if Austin's father will somehow be incorporated into the mix...used as psychological warfare or Calder turns the father...oy vey...ay caramba... "Once you are turned, no one from your civilian life can know about your whereabouts or our existence," she said. "I understand your father is still alive." "He won't come looking for me. Nobody will." And I'm selling shares in the Brooklyn Bridge and house lots in the Everglades... Next chapter please and thanks!!!
