It feels like impending doom. She could be killed. The Russians are not forgiving. Zachary would find it hard to forgive his father for placing his mother in the risky situation--if and when he finds out.

Oh my--Otis is so clueless and needy and hopeful. He is painfully innocent. As long as he is around good hearted people, he should be OK. A mean or deceitful one can really confuse and hurt him/ I am impressed by Hudson. He really likes Otis, He could be boyfriend material. Actually, they both could be boyfriend material I am hopeful we can find out about his forehead scare and the drunken, hateful person who verbally abused him years ago.

Jamie shook his head. "No. We are duty-bound to assist Sedwick, both as our prince and as our friend. But the goal of finding a way to reverse his problem may be only a part of our end game here." They are facing a huge problem which is not yet defined. Special vehicles are being used for transport in the tunnels. They are astounding--maybe mag-lev powered. One tower has been inspected and they are on their way to inspect another. They now have a map. Jamie will sleep tonight and seek to solve another defense need. But, I fear Jamie and the others need to make a huge or quantum leap to be able to wield more enriched and capable magic. The beings they are going to find with Urvan must be on scale of terror and awesome strength beyond what Jamie has yet dreamed of facing. Time for the lens and nether to come through for Jamie. So far they have been safe and not hurt. Can this continue?

I did not expect this outcome--love between two former very different enemies or rather two who hated each other . When I saw the term pet, I thought he would eventually be a sexual slave. The human was not worthy to be more. But, it turned out the chief and human grew to fall in love and the human grew to love Orc culture and their way of life. He was rejected by his village people and by being a partner of the chief and showing his skills he was accepted by the Orcs. The human expressed no regrets. This is an interesting and uncommon tale of bonds formed by very different souls.

The challenges increased significantly. The forest is many, many times larger than first estimated. The number of locations built by the ancients and number occupied by other beings are enormous. Urvan could be located in one of hundreds of locations. The search could take a long time. Maybe, Urvan will seek them out when they become better known. They gained a slight increase in magical capability. They will be able to be guided by small dragonettes who have great eyesight in the dark, They are working through traveling in the deep underground tunnels built to last by the ancients. They figured out how to use a car to move along a tunnel. It will not take them long to reach their next goal. They have building blocks for future safe travel. As they find more things built by the ancients, maybe they will find out what happened to them or led to their demise.

Bizzzare. Matty outed Rusty to John who does not believe him, But John crushed on Matty and they end up on the floor connected. John is so sexually frustrated. He has the hots for Matty and must have had a thing for Connor who has now rejected him. It seems the Cat Boy suit was seen in Zoey's closet by another person. She is now seen as on the cat boy's side by Connor and his crew. John who brought Zoey to the group is suspect also. Zoey and John joined a large Connor meeting as were accused of being traitors and held hostage, Matty received a message from Zoey's phone asking for help. He ran to Rusty. Rusty was with his whole group and they were all incensed and left to free Matty's friends. Dex broke the dorr to Connor's meeting down. They stared down Connor and friends and rescued John and Zoey. Dex was crushed by Zoey who ended up holding him and thanking him for saving her, She has a secret crush of /Dex, It seems Conor is going to complain to the Dean. Jonathan will protest Connor's actions to the Dean also. Xpress has joined in against Connor. The Dean will have a mess to resolve.

They all were transported to the ship and were in the room with Hamiliton. They were too late. The missiles were just launched and the torpedoes were identified as soon to hit the ship. Zachary did not kill Hamilition. Touma's note said to kill Lowerstoff. Neither did what their notes said. Things moved differently. Most woke up in their last place with wired attached. Zachary found himself with his parents in the gallery being pursued and running, He jumped off a railing as his father suggested and expected to de after a long fall. But , he awoke in Paris in 1975 and all the crew were present. Will they recycle again or have they reached a stopping point? The next chapter will guide us.

Hmmm so from the Kandic universe . Jamie could be helped perhaps by a legendary or highest ranked shaman, ruinseeker, mind reader, great Sand Dragon with a molten sand breath weapon. Prince Xavier would be very easy to work with as a half-elf until he changed into a huge dragon with enhanced magical power. However , as I see Jamie growing and maturing and training others, I think he and his friends are well placed to surprise and fight their enemies with help from the nether.

It is fascinating to see Jamie go into the nether . Then he learns and applies and shares the skills and magic. They have exactly what the need for their next challenges. They are more powerful and less vulnerable. Taking on the monsters fighting the humanoids was heroic and successful. They save the humanoids and they are grateful. They have new friends and another safe place to stay. So far they are always making progress. I hope they are ready to fight the mages and other associated with them.

Thank God Andre was able to escape from the vampires. They intended to damage him, wipe his memory and leave him in a desolate , hidden place that would be hard to find. All looked lost for him. A miracle happened, His friends arrived disguised as the vampire leader of the group. The leader ordered his captors to leave them alone,. Andre and his friends ran away in a tunnel whose exit was hidden. Their flight was noticed finally. They were chased by vampires who hated them. Andre used his magic to stop the vampires from reaching them. But the vampire attacked his efforts repeatedly and broke through. Suddenly, a mechanical animal appeared and fought the vampires as a delaying action .Then the good guys found and used the until now hidden exit. They ended up in a garage and strange place with more friends present. Andre was so lucky. He had committed friends who risked their lives to save him. He could have been lost or been turned into a vegetable if not saved. This was a scary story that turned out well.

I was taken by how much they both enjoyed the experience when Julius drank from Sam. Sam was entranced and in the zone as his blood was draw from two places. He was a bit of a masochist who liked the pain from biting and Julius noticed it and liked it too. Julius realized he cared for Sam and wanted to be mindful of him and respected his limit. I like how he gave him a hickey to show even more Sam was his. Julus found he wanted Sam to be with him as he traveled away from the island. He asked him if he would go with him. Sam said he did not know. If they are to be together ,I suggest Julius needs to consider some options, if he is open to change. He has given Sam more reasons to stay. Until this experience where they both connected with pleasure, Julius thought of him as a slave or pet, He has to wear a collar signifying his demoted, subservient role. He did not speak of him like he was a friend. So Julius has set up emotional and personal barriers. Plus Julius has promised him a fortune for a short-term relationship. He has financial security--possibly. Any change in his offer that would not please Sam would push him to stay on the island. As a minimum if he really wants to keep Sam he has to decide what he really is offering Sam. Does he still want a subservient pet? Is he going to be a sexy juice box and nothing more. I think if he wanted Sam to now be a collarless friend who would be part of his adventures, then Sam might be tempted. Will Julius reconsider and upgrade Sam's role and propose a new role to him ? Will Sam accept a new offer that changes his role?

Changes and Curveballs---Zachary was .... committed to playing his part in this attempt to reverse the expanding hole in their reality and seal the breach. It was, they had all agreed, the best shot at stopping the chaos that would otherwise inevitably ensue.+ He alone was transmitted to a new location--London. He meets Violetta who introduces him to Christoper. He is taken by him to a new location and device that will take him to a parallel universe somewhat distorted. Quickly he shifts after stepping on a platform. He lands on a ship and finds a note pinned to his clothing. It says Kill Hamilton. If he does this, the breach should be sealed and churning of the multiverse should stop, He is the man of the hour!

Wow--Feno arrived with a huge number of children from the village. Life became more complicated, but people pitched in without complaint. The visitors will have a wonderful time in the US, I expect. Carl considered panting a nude picture of his girl. After talking with Armand, he will hold off till they are fully committed. Armand is finishing his princess paintings. I think money from the sale will be welcomed. He paid for the move of the children from Italy. He is spending his money to help others without worry.

I was impressed by this insight-- Garvin laughed. "Is our world any different?" The big knight sighed and shook his head. "No. But that very fact serves to illustrate that the ancients were no better than we in dealing with matters of living. Their science was great, yes, but in the end it only served to make their destruction more complete." I hope Jamie and his crew will be better able to deal with the matters of living. This next step allowed them to increase their abilities and add magical power. Now they have individual shields and an ability to be indivisible. They have grown deeper in their friendship and respect for each other. At the end Jamie was taken to the nether and it seems his knowledge and powers will be expanded. He should be better prepared to fight their enemies and could pass his knowledge along. Each new level of knowledge helps him and gives him a base to raise up to another level, The nether and his lens acts in a step-wise fashion to prepare Jamie for the future,

Finally, Beckett is properly outfitted. He met a cast of characters with Valrinda's help. He can travel warmly and always with water. Valrinda takes flight with Beckett. Beckett , I am sure, will see some astounding sights as he continues his quest.

It is a given that Kavan is guided by his emotions and feels triply rejected. His excursions around Venice have not given him a basis to change his mind. Konstantine et al keep on misreading him or not realizing how to handle hm. If the wanted to finally get to him, the messengers should have been two of the people he cared about and made masks for :Aykut and his brother Sebastian. He would listen to them. Gideon who last rejected his offer to save his life would naturally inflame him. Kaven was in Venice to give him the sword and help save his life as he faced a powerful enemy. The rejection after his efforts had to hurt deeply.

New rifts and a different goal. Not stop the missiles in the sea on a US Ship.. Stop the quantum computer from destroying reality and the multiverse. The group is following Bargesan in Tangiers after being directed by Emil's mother who hates Hamilton. They have the computer key and will revise the program on the quantum computer-If things do not change again--and that if a big "if"

Thanks for the fast posting and promise of another one tomorrow. Irik, the wolf, guided them carefully and wisely. The dark area was extremely scary with unusual creatures. One attacked them and was cut in half and later turned into carrion for others. They finally learned about the forest surface and its deep , very wide hole that kept all the monsters inside. Plus, for some unknown reason 4 rockets are made automatically and sent daily away. They are resting comfortably and safely. They need their rest, ."Tomorrow would come, yes. And then, the real journey would begin.? Wow--if this was child's play, the danger must increase exponentially for them.

Magic, mystery, machines.....There is a story from history I read in college. Westerners appeared near a South Sea island in a large ship and took row boats to the shore, The natives marveled at the row boats that seemed to be of a familiar size like their boats and ignored the larger ship. They did not comment on it. After talking with the natives, the westerners discerned that the natives could not figure out what the larger ship was or how it was connected to the rowboats. They had no useful frame of reference. They ignored it.

OK--this is insightful--Emile tells Zachary-- Well, yes. The main players mostly remember every rift. But don't try to put things in any order, that was no more before than this is after. It was more simultaneous." Zachary thought he had things vaguely organised in his own mind, but now he wondered and started to question his own organisation of events. "Don't try to work it out," Emile told him. "You can't. You can only deal with one reality at a time Emile and the three fly to Murmansk and take a Russian helicopter to meet a US ship commanded by Admiral Hamilton. He wants to release missiles to explode in Russia.The Russians intend to snk the ship before the missiles launch. Emile, Zachary, Houma and Lowerstoff will try to stop the Admiral However the Admiral fled after shooting at Lowerstoff but hitting Zachary. They move to flee to the lifeboats and mysteriously end up back in France where this rift started. Emile said to them, the scenario will begin again. He is not question. They see this makes sense. When the get back to the ship in a future rift, they know they have to take over the ship's bridge and get it farther away from Russia and stop the missiles from being fired. Now the boys have a plan that makes sense. They will be able to stop a nuclear war. The repeated rifts seem all be aimed at educating them and getting them able to save the world from destruction. Good Luck!

Thank you for continuing this very interesting story. This is a great holiday surprise. I say this to suggest your readership might be lower than normal since many in the US might be involved in festivities with fans and friends, I lay the fault for the blow up with Konstantine. He knows Kavan and knows his rejected history with Gideon. He could expect Kavan to blow up and suspect he was being banned in favor of Gideon. He would think Konstantine betrayed him and showed he did not care for him. Konstantine did not properly or quickly explain what was happening . We still do not know the whole story He let Kavam jump to conclusions before he was able to fully explain his or Caspian's reasoning. Kavan has had a great time with guides exploring the city. He got into the nitty details and visited so many places that others could not. He veal his shadow ability to one of his guides. The Count knows about his ability and was very interested. I think he would like Kavan to stay and help him. I expect he would accept Kavan's family in Venice. Kavan is not considering or fully understanding the significance of him staying in Venice. He feels rejected by Konstantine and Caspian. He might get to the point that he wants to build a new life without them. Now Giden shows up. We do not know why. Kavan rejects listening to him and quickly leaves the room. He treats Gideon like Gideon treated him when he offered to help him. Both as very hard headed, Only the Count can bring Kavan back to hear Gideon out. I hope the Count makes the effort. I do not know what Gideon could say to get Kavan to come back given his past positions. Who knows, he might Give Kavan Caspian's blessing to stay in Venice?

So , the boys are considering time is layered and interconnected like a bowl of spaghetti. Currently one change in an earlier reality is not impacting the present reality--yet. Unlike time travel, where one change in the pastcould have disastrous ripple effects later. But in this reality/rift, Emile and his mother are safeguarded away in a luxurious guarded villa. The boys cannot get in. Unless they meet Emile at the arts festival, they will have to work another angle. The villa owner likes boys has them in for dancing and sex. The boys could find a sexy or dancing boy to take Emile a message or as a last resort pose as sex workers/dancers to get in and find Emile. What could go wrong? Lots.

Thank God they were not incinerated when the huge rocket took off and blasted the tunnels. They were scared. A mysterious large wolf spoke to them and guided them to safety so far,` Luck continues to be on their side.

Good, We learn Caden is much better and healthy. Ludwig is happy and confident enough to offer Sam a job so can live independently if he wants. Sam and Julius continue to not truly understand each other, but like each other in some ways. Sam wears his collar showing he is connected to Julius. Julius wants Sam's blood but will not take it what Sam says no. They have limits. Julius is in pain and sulks away. Sam shows he cares for him. "Fuck, I guess I don't really have a choice then. Nervously, Sam inched his way closer to the moping vampire, and asked if it really wouldn't hurt if he bit him." After feeding on Sam's wrist, will they try to understand each other better when they are now in good moods?

Jamie is learning from the lens, his extensive readings and his friends plus what is thrown at him by the Red Mage, other mages and attacking monsters. He is a generous soul who would give credit others. One of the famous lines from the history of science was said by Newton. “If I have seen further,” Isaac Newton wrote in a 1675 letter to fellow scientist Robert Hooke, “it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
