Thirdly

Yes. But, I think in the next segment we’re back to Hazeth and Winter. I’m surprised no one mentioned the hilarity of Jack and his mates having gone undercover before Andy and Tyr even got there.

Actually, I'm just a very visual person so I always use or make pictures to keep a clear idea in my head. I want Renke and Penni to be official, too!

This is the only collaboration we are working on bit by bit every other day. In this case, we began work on the chapter we just posted around May 15 and it's taken us up until now to complete that one chapter. So, if all goes well, other chapters should follow in at least a "once a month" fashion. This chapter also took a good long while because I had to compile all of the important bits of information we needed (things like Kimset's eye color, Alain's origins, Renke's origins, etc.)...I also made an "escape map" from Rathburn's estate to the portal in the woods (as seen below). So, I can only hope that the chapters that follow will be rolled out faster than anticipated. Areas that were mentioned: Woods- Woods surround the mansion. It’s where Andy and the twins met. It’s also where the twins hide Kimset and their “secret base.” Not only that, but the twins found a portal in the woods and were already planning their escape bit by bit, through its use. Hallways- From where the twins are always keeping tabs on Andyvion from a distance. Tub/Pool- I can’t remember which, but at some point the twins were bathing in a very large bathroom in which Andy rushes into in his Unicorn form. Laundry room- Andy’s seen with sheets and laundry often, bustling about doing his job. Rathburn’s bedroom- Self explanatory. Rathburn’s office- Where he puts on a grand show to the twins’ parents to torture them. The Twins’ bedroom- Where they huddle away and try to heal one another. Servant’s/Keeping quarters- Where Andyvion’s room is. That being said, I borrowed a mansion blueprint an edited it to get this: Which means that the best path for both teams (Jack’s and Andy’s) would be from the “bottom right” where they enter through the portal, sneaking in through the laundry area, past the keeping quarters, and then to the Twins’ room. Usually there are guards all over the outskirts of the mansion, but Rathburn took most of them with him, leaving only about eight guards in each shift…

Tyr and Andyvion made for quite the sight as the two of them rode their respective mounts and trekked across the snowy terrain of Peraza towards the portal that would jump them to Cha Borolan. They were well-prepared for the weather, but packed lightly. Both had experienced losses while traveling in the past. Though Kimset’s displeasure of the snow sticking to his fur was apparent, his amber eyes were sharply focused and his gait was steady. Though Button generally took the lead in everythin

Both...it was temporary on hold before this chapter, and it's currently on hold at the moment...BUT, as of today (6/02/2020) she did say: Robin: Prophy has been bumping around in my head lately. I should write. (to which I replied with:) Thirdly: omg yes prophy is my drug (So maybe we might get another chap in the upcoming month or so!)

I know, right!?

We're glad you enjoyed reading. Thanks for the comment!

Really? But that ending was so well-rounded and thought-out. I mean that line about their discussion not being finished was pure platinum!

This was quite intriguing and lovely. Felt so much longer than a short story due to the gravity of the situation they were both in. Super relieved with the ending.

Not really an oversight, Mick's had so much on his mind he hasn't ever stopped to notice those mundane details.

Our poor cinnamon roll.

Once again, the fact that Mick was able to sense/feel/see all that is both freaking amazing and horrible. It's great that his powers are more accessible to him. Sucks that he still doesn't seem to have full control over them. That Lester is still alive is both awful and a blessing in terms of the law. As a complete afterthought, what color would Zeru's glamour make his red eyes appear as? Brown? Hazel? Blue? Since he's 'the golden' I also imagine he'd either mid-toned or tanned. Did I miss any mention of his human illusion? We already know the other guys since we met most of them in their human guise, bur Zeru's vice-versa.

Gideon is the alarm system. And their senses were as asleep as they were. Jed was out cold from having been taken over by his dragon side for so long, and Gid and Reg wore each other out.

Nice choice!

LMAO! Good point! Though, there is a version of a Jacuzzi for dragons and their mates...water boiled from an underground volcano .

Absolutely! Though, to be honest, Jedrek's beast only wants Honey to be happy and to pet him. He'd happily take over if Jed's not doing right by him!

Good thing that shirt is huge.

A few yards away, the god Ra comforted a saddened king while the queen cooed all over Honey. "You don't have to come to see us all the time. I would love to go visit you, as well," she suggested as she subconsciously raked her hand through Honey's soft hair. The woman was tall and elegant. She had long, dirty-blond hair and violet eyes that were a shade or two darker than Jedrek’s own. "And you mustn't leave until I get you dressed. I want to challenge the royal tailor to find fabrics that match

The wolves in this story's "universe" can't assimilate each other's feelings. Regan also mentioned how shifting into his wolf form, he didn't feel much of anything in terms of "magic queasiness." Unfortunately for Gideon, the silver wolf seems to be a lot more sensitive to magic than his partner.

LMAO! Yes and no. While there is still more to this story that we have to wrap up (it's not done just yet), we do have the "real" CTM sequel to eventually work on. I am also going to be playing around with a solo dragon story of my own while I'm on this week-long break, though it probably won't be in the same "universe" as this one.

LMAO! Yes, it's so sad that Jed's animal nature is a lot more considerate and caring at this point (which is how Jedrek should have been with Honey the whole time, but fear can twist a person's actions).

You have every right to be displeased with Gideon. No one is judging you for that.

Yes. We haven't mentioned her since, but you can safely assume that the red convertible was her vampire beau's car. For him to trust her with a car that nice means he's either a very old vampire who wouldn't care if something happened to the car or he genuinely likes her enough for something longer than a one night stand...or maybe something in between? We never got that far, but we do know it's his car.

LMAO! Didn't think about it that way, but totally true!

Technically, it took someone stealing Honey for Jed to accept his mate. The divine intervention was more sorely needed for Gid and Reg. XD
