    Chapter 21

    @drsawzall @VBlew Thanks for your answers. It seems that Mirror of Dreams will be the chosen name.🏆 It's pretty certain that Plink won't stop scheming.😁 Encounters between characters like these will add more twists and turns to the plot as different storylines intertwine.

    Thank you for your comment and advice regarding the mirror.😊 It is indeed a good point that Plink's connection to Josel and Zdain may have an impact on Franz's story🧐
  3. Franz Everything worth seeing in Eastkeep had been quickly exhausted - there simply wasn't much to see. Aside from Paidos, Franz had never visited any other town in Andiol, so Eastkeep had come as something of a shock. One would be hard-pressed to find a more repellent hole, despite Ikarr Knobnose’s endless praise. Franz would gladly have spurred Sowthistle and galloped away from the perpetual fog-shrouded wreck of a town. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option. His father, Ikarr, and Kh
  4. Good to know what’s behind this. It’s an unfortunate change, as it might reduce new readers’ interest in GA. On the other hand, it could bring in new members, which might lead to more likes and comments on the stories.

    True. It's unlikely that Josel could ever think warmly of Mocvann, especially if he learns about her actions. Even though Josel does resemble his mother quite a bit in both appearance and temperament.

    Chapter 20

    Thank you! ☺️ It’s certain that it will be a staggering revelation. Josel loved Idalae, whom he believed to be his mother, and if the truth comes out, it will shake the very foundation of his identity. In the next chapter, we meet Franz again.

    Absolutely, Mocvann is a complete monster.😠 It will surely be a shock for Josel if/when he finds out who his birthmother really is. There’s probably nothing more devastating for a person than losing both their partner and children at the same time—and in such a cruel way. In the book, I wanted to show how differently people can react to such a tragedy. Avinnor escaped reality by adopting the persona of Troubadour Kharlin, whereas Marl, after a similar loss, sank into hopelessness for the rest of his life.😢
  9. Avinnor Naldau, Grand Duchy of Malkania, year 1577 of the New Era (nearly sixteen years earlier) "That's enough playing for today," Avinnor Dannkas murmured as he reluctantly set his flute down on the oakwood table. He would have gladly played far more often, but as heir to a ducal house and father of a family, duty came first. Duties that could not be neglected. Avinnor didn't mind taking care of his family - he did so with devotion - but managing the Dannkas family's business affai

    Those are good guesses.👍 In the next chapter, we will learn more about Josel's family.

    Chapter 19

    @akascrubber @Seraph28 I think Anden has no choice but to obey Eistaf's orders. Eistaf certainly has the means to make sure he does. But will Anden still try to rebel? There must be a particular reason why the traitors are so keen to capture Zal. It's more than just because he is on the other side and therefore an enemy. 😬
  12. Anden Darkuria, years 1563–1591 of the New Era "Anden, what is this?" Eistaf Negos asked, pursing his lips at the package Anden Telon had nervously thrust before him with trembling hands. "It's your birthday today. I thought I'd mark the occasion… I made it myself," Anden said, already feeling the flush rise to his cheeks. Why did Eistaf always have to look so annoyingly handsome? "You managed to surprise me," Eistaf chuckled, beginning to peel away the wrapping with his long f

    @akascrubber The Redeemers do indeed have their own religiously motivated goals. That probably doesn't bode well for our heroes, even if their lives aren't in immediate danger. That's what Renn definitely wants. But Zdain's motives will become clear later.

    Chapter 18

    @RainbowPhoenixWI Oh no, I'm ending up in the doghouse again! 😉 And thank you, good thing I manage to surprise you. ☺️ Now that the series isn't even halfway through, Josel and Zdain can't resolve their differences or sworn their love for each other. So I wish the readers patience from here at the back of the doghouse.

    😀Not too soon! Renn is still very important to the story's plot.😏

    @akascrubber The situation does indeed look bad.😓The expedition was of great importance, but it was cut short before reaching the Misty Isles. The only faint hope is that Melgy is still out there somewhere.

    Chapter 18

    @Seraph28 Unfortunately, this is what happened, and I was unable to save Marl.😢 Renn is indeed dangerous and evil—and now Zdain is alone with him. Bad omens are in the air. At this point, the plot demanded such events. True, no one is safe from the touch of the Darkness, not even our young heroes. 😄Oh, I'll probably need to get a defense attorney. I'm afraid it will be necessary.😁
  18. Renn A shade commando never slept too deeply. That's why Renn Tauganei snapped awake in time to sense that something was off. Just a whisper of unease - but Renn was attuned to such things. He sat up on his bedroll and threw off the blanket. The lanterns still burned, casting pale light over the room. The others were asleep. Or so it seemed - one bedroll was empty. Marl Gaidok was gone. That had to mean something. Renn quickly pulled on his boots and checked that his pistol was tu

    Yes, that's how I thought of it 🙂

    Chapter 17

    @akascrubber @drsawzall In a way, yes—but can Rezak be blamed? How much of his later actions are truly his own fault, and how much stems from the Cors living inside him? At this point, when he agreed to Cors' scheme, he was still quite young and naive.

    Chapter 17

    Well said. The lust for power and its consequences are among the central themes of the series. However, the pursuit of one's own goals takes different forms for each character, and sometimes the motives are quite innocent. Bartos's father turned to the darkest forces only because he wanted to win the woman he loved. Rezak, on the other hand, agreed to his actions simply because he respected his mentor Cors and wanted to please him.
  22. Rezak Land of the Ksingis, Year 1570 of the New Era (22 years earlier) Snow had fallen heavily the previous night, and the path was mostly buried out of sight. Still, Rezak was certain they hadn't strayed. He didn't make mistakes - not after years of training under Cors' unforgiving eye. Mistakes weren't an option, especially now, when Cors might not have the strength to try again. The mountain trail twisted narrowly through the icy terrain. With each step, their feet sank deep into

    Thank you! ☺️The final chapter was a really good ending to the story. It's a pity we only got to know Chandler so briefly.

    Chapter 16

    Pretty pathetic effort from Neil's friends. None of them could even apologize. If I were Neil, I wouldn't hang out with people like that.😒 Gerry's comments to Alex were spot on. That's exactly how it goes—he can definitely find himself a boyfriend, and Alex doesn't need to do it for him.

    Lucas is getting meaner all the time. It's hard to feel any sympathy for him. Just like Neil, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen soon.😬
