Thanks, DD! Ranevargar is a wily old bird who has taken the friends under his wing. (to toss a few cliches around) I don't think his effectiveness is in doubt, but the different time rates might hinder his timeliness.
-
Wow! There's a thought - with a bit of help from Maurice, Kieran does have the ability to bring down the wrath of the heavens in the form of a mighty storm - something to remember. And I surely agree with you. Scary governments abound.
-
Hmm! Kieran, with Ranevargar's help, has done some mind altering but it's pretty much been as a defense. Having his own mind altered seems to have made him reluctant to do the same to others.
-
Yes, the bulldozer have been halted, but they're waiting in the company yards and Morrison is taking things, 'to a new level'. Ominous indeed. You are so right about influence of the mining companies and the friends are starting to understand just what they could be facing.

WIDDERKIN VOE. *** The convoy of three rugged four-wheel-drive vehicles took longer than expected to reach the Valley of Eagles, and the brothers with their bore equipment watched the eager get-together of the friends. Kieran and Rhys had travelled with the boss brother in the second vehicle, a kind of backup with camping provisions and bore accessories, Mr B with the younger brother in the main vehicle, and Woorawa and Tan leading the way with the ranger guide. "There’s too

Lol! Wouldn't it be great if we could all have a panacea of some kind to zap all the stress out of our lives!! - Hang on! If there was no stress we might get bored out of our brains with the blandness of everything - which would be a stress of a different kind, requiring a magic stress reliever of a different form. Yikes! This could go on forever.
-
Wow! I'm so pleased that the story is 'getting better and better' for you'. You've got Morrison and Harris's measure well pegged - Morrison in particular is a conniving 'old so-and-so', to use Harris's own words.
-
Yes, 'catastrophic' really describes what could happen, particularly if the autocratic sections of the world came after them. Luckily the friends are fully aware of Ranevargar's wisdom and factor in his advice. (as much as is possible.)
-
Thank you. It's great to see the older stories resurfacing and I surely hope you enjoy this one. Lol - As you'll discover, Andy's up for just about anything.
-
'ugly!' Wow! You've really got the aggros for the minining company. We'll see.
-
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.

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. Please introduce yourself by stating your name, and show-" He broke off, startled by the yells of a group of five men who were rushing forward. "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" Th

Yep! As I think Rhys would say, 'Without magic we'd be cactus!'. (It's a strange saying but it expresses the sentiment well.) We'll see Benton's initial reaction in tomorrow's post.
-
Auntie Arika makes a special impression on almost everyone who comes in contact with her. Rest easy - there are no immediate concerns with the 'special' quartz.
-
Lol - I did spend about an hour on the next chapter this morning. - maybe this urgency and seriousness warrants a delay so the anticipation can build to new heights????
-
You are so right about the media manipulations of, 'big business and big government', - a scary part of today's world. Kieran was outraged when he saw Benton's plans and I think that was a moment for realisation of just what they might be up against.
-
Thanks so much, @jkeeling. I hope the coming chapters will hold your interest too. The 'great story', as you put it, is still in the early days of it's unfolding.
-
Thanks, DD, The chant, a mystery courtesy of Tan, is a background of influence and power througout the story.
-
Yes, a world-wide mining corporation has formidable resources at its call. Thank you for your wonderful feedback - every comment is an affirmation that the story has some value.
-
Thanks for the 'Wow!'. Yes, they sure close ranks when the need arises. 'thwart' - I love that word. 😀 - BUT - there's trickery ahead.
-
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." "

Thank you, @Jabba, I am in awe of many facets of our First Nations culture and I'm chuffed that it comes across for you.
-
Thank you! Yes, I reckon they'll 'stand firm'. Rhys hasn't been designated, 'the Warrior', for no reason. And you're right. Michael will continue to 'play a part'. - BUT - I wonder what that part will be? 🦈
