  1. Welcome and congrats, Mike!

    Chapter 16

    Hmm! Keiran's abilities had no effect on the Fetches. The hold up while the triads and High Lords recover might be a godsend for the companions. (lol The 'might' allows for all sorts of eventualities.)

    Chapter 16

    Great thoughts, M! It's my impression so far that the High King believes he's working in the best interests of both Keryth and the Realms. I wonder what else we might learn? A worrying Wall? A portentious portal? Maybe even a baffling barrier? - drama could well be imminent.

    Yes, the High King's problems are definitely compounding while he's forced to wait for Maynor and Uirebon to recover.

    Chapter 16

    Because Keiran is widderkin, his father, the High King, seeks great secrecy and so doesn't want to widen the already growing number of elves being involved. At the moment there's no one in a fit state to help, with the triads back-lashed, Maynor in a healing trance, and Uirebon clobbered. The High King can't really send anyone new, or even go himself, until he finds some way to locate the group. Whoo! After migraines, memory changes, Rhys taken twice and now the Spooks, there's a great deal of negativity and suspicion against the perpetrators. - a big task for any emissary. We'll see!

    Chapter 16. The High King sought a way through this inconvenient but concerning health report. "Fragile? Maynor could never be described so. He has strength and resilience to match anyone in the Realms. All I seek is a moment of wakefulness. Surely with your support he could manage that?" "Not under my watch, My Lord. I can assure you that, with adequate rest and constant supervision, he should make a full recovery, but not with another interruption to his healing. Look at him. My he

    Lol - I hope you're moved to make lots of clicks. Details to come elaborate on Mr B's important place in the story.

    Chapter 15

    Lol - I promise! Strangeness will be brung. Hmm! Keiran's companions have successfully protected him from the fearful Spooks on two occasions now. I wonder if they they can continue in that vein?

    Curses! This author reluctantly admits to inadvertently letting slip a minor spoiler. 🤫 Quite minor though and more will be revealed in the fullness of time.

    Lol - Prepare yourself for even more strangeness. That mysterious White Wall is ahead.

    Chapter 15

    The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men, Gang aft agley, Keiran has not changed physically but human clothing and the mannerisms he's picked up through life at College might act like a kind of disguise. - lol - We'll see! And you assume correctly, Tim. Woorawa is well experienced with the ancient camping routines of his People.

    Chapter 15

    Wow! I love the 'golam' description of the Fetch. I left the description fairly indeterminate on purpose but that's very close to my own idea of what they're like. And, yep, the elven king's not a happy chappy.

    Chapter 15

    Chapter 15. The next step after catching the fish was to get a cooking fire going and everyone gathered closely to watch Kieran make yet another call on the Opal and ignite the handful of carefully chosen dry grass and leaves. Rhys cheered and Tan gave a whoop of delight when the first wisp of smoke changed to a healthy little flame. Woorawa took over and methodically added small twigs, then sticks, and then larger pieces of wood he'd previously gathered, till the fire was burning strongly.

    Chapter 13

    'Power vs. Love' - I love the term. There are many adventures ahead of any such resolution. (lol - I kind of know, but not with certainty - that as yet unwritten part is still evolving in my mind.)

    Chapter 14

    Thanks again chs. Lots of quite momentous events are approaching so I hope your anticipation is suitably rewarded.

    Chapter 14

    Definitely cheating, as Rhys expressed - but also very effective. Yes, I continue to be surprised myself at how well and how quickly he adapts - I wonder what's going on there?

    Chapter 14

    Yikes! I covered the sharp eagle talons at Keiran's first encounter at the Valley of the Eagles but didn't even think about it here. - minor revision and editing required. Thanks, Timothy. Lots of exploring ahead ... and survival is definitely on the agenda.

    Chapter 14

    Yep! You're nearly right - they're caught in the RealmS for a while. The Wall confounds the companions and leads to situations that are indeed malevolent.
