    Yep! Those bad guys are rather bewildered with the way their plans have gone awry. The Auntie Arika healing was one of those times when the characters kind of took over from the author. It felt right and very much what Rhys would do so I left it there. Bulldozers - next chapter.
  3. WIDDERKIN VOE. Chapter 12. The adjudicator moved to his lectern. "Ladies and gentlemen, after that extraordinary performance it is time to continue with the primary purpose of this meeting. I invite anyone with comments or questions to come to the front of the hall where we have a microphone available.

    Thanks, DD, The chant, a mystery courtesy of Tan, is a background of influence and power througout the story.

  18. WIDDERKIN VOE. Chapter 11. Kieran's mind switched from contact with Maurice and opened himself to the general feeling of the people gathered out in the council hall. Yes! Excitement and tension, noticeably stronger since the arrival of the elders. "You don't feel distracted now, so what did Maurice say this time?" Kieran wondered why Rhys said ‘feel’ instead of ‘look’. "Nothing, really. He’s amused because I keep making checks for Ranevargar when I don't need to." "
