    Yes, the race is on!

    Chapter 29. Seventeen proud Panthers, their minds awash with the elevated guardianship responsibilities relayed from Ranevargar, stood guard while Pelnor and the other Lake Grove hosts rushed to ready everything for the race to the Realm Boundary. Rhys had his arms wrapped rather awkwardly round George's neck for a fond farewell and Kieran watched Manon and Deltor clip the last of the extra water skins to Krol's harness. "Our thoughts are with you for this strange journey, Kieran. Krol h

    As Rhys says, 'Gods! Everything's complicated.' - Whoops! That's much later in the story. Lol - and in the Darkness binds them!

    Thank you, Centex. That quote is one my father loved to use and has a special value to me. lol - and it's so apt too.

    Yes, you've picked up that the Opal is very much an enigma. Even Ranevargar, who's looked at it closely, is baffled. The next foray? - The Dragon quest, as Rhys terms it, surely ... Hmm?

    Thank you, Philippe, for your enjoyable exhortation and your encouraging words. So many interesting conjectures! I wish I'd thought of using the Realm breaches strategically like that. Analysis like this makes me aware of the possibilities I haven't considered.

    Whoo! Given Maynor's elven life expectancy he's got a long time to oil his way out of such a drastic situation.

    So? You must have a rather inquisitive outlook then?

    Omg! - several millenia? - that's an awful lot of boiling.

    Chapter 28

    Chapter 28. Kieran toppled, along with everyone else, and his mind registered a snapshot of countless Spooks and people with strange golden heads. A jolt of pain when his face slammed against the grass passed and was forgotten as his mind raced with shock and attempts at understanding. A terrifying scream of defiance and rage paralysed his thoughts till the sudden cut off built an extra thread of fear that Krol had just been wounded or disabled. Helplessness surged. His body was useless. The
  11. Wow! I started watching and then couldn't leave.
  12. Congratulations, Tim!

    Yep! You sure can! Next weekend's post is quite a large one with MUCH happening.

    Chapter 27

    Oh my! You sure got that right. Poor old Ranevargar - what a day he's had - what with a wonderful gift of healing from Rhys and Keiran, a whirlwind tour of many of his Groves, concentrated teaching sessions with Keiran, the huge decision to awaken his Dragon construct, and now suddenly stricken with paralysis - Did Keiran's portal effort malfunction, or is it something even more serious? - 'sidetracked' has to be an understement.

    Extension ropes? - lol - Hang on - that's a bit of a stretch. - or maybe stringing people along.

    lol - no comment - except to say the next post ends where logic dictates it should.

    OMG! This comment is an inspiration in its own right. I'm working on it right now - well, not quite - I use the mornings to write new stuff and the evenings for revision and editing - but stuff's definitely happening.

    In fact I love my Dragon software. All my writing is done longhand in notebooks and this two finger typist would go crazy without the transfer to computer by simply speaking. The drawbacks like homophones are minor compared to the drudgery of hunt and peck.

    Yikes! - as you command so be it! The good news - I reckon it will be ready to post on schedule - despite the extra effort.

    What? My nice little corner with the window that looks out at the local mountains? The bad news is that last night when checked I realised that storywise I need to combine the next two chapters for the next post. - extra time and effort.

    Lol - I'm working on it - but there's bad news and good news.

    Cliffie? What's that? 😉 Yes, who? - well, I suppose we have some idea - but paralysed and helpless and he's a Realm Lord - what can that mean for all the companions? We'll have to wait and see - oh! that kind of cliffie -fancy that - drop over in a week's time and much will fall into place. Whoops! The coarse words are now running as they should. Thanks for pointing that out. I blame (1) the speech recognition software for making the change from my hand written notes and (2) my poor old brain for not even noticing. (Ironically the software is called 'Dragon')

    Chapter 27. "Kieran, to prepare for our journey to the heart of the Unordered Realm, we must return to the Central Grove. I have sent word for provisions and a cohort of Griffins to be readied and told all my Guardians of my coming absence." Krol's head lifted in distress. "Not you, Krol. We need you with us for protection and transport." Ruffled feathers flattened and Kieran sensed the flash of fierce pride and pleasure at his inclusion. "Are we going to fly into Dead World
