    Chapter 8

    Chapter 8. "Is everything alright with Woorawa? He seemed to have something on his mind when we got home." "I'm not sure, Tan. It's like he's got a fixation about that other student. I started to get a headache from all his questions." "It's not one of your migraines is it?" "No, it's gone now so it can't be. He’s ringing his Uncle Burrimul to let him know he got here okay and then he’s having a shower. What do you want me to do to help?" "Nothing really. Set the tabl

    Lol - Bad guys? Aren't they trying to 'help' Keryth so he can be successor to the High Throne? Just apply a bit of gay conversion therapy and everyone wins. ... Hmm! Yep! 'Dark Child' was simply referring to his ancestry. - but you're onto something with the rival powers bit too.
  3. I'm currently reading 'Silver on the Tree' the last book in The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper. This is a beloved series I re-read every four or five years which always leaves me with a feeling of wonder that someone could write such stories.

    Hmm! I wonder?

    Lol - the next reference to the old rock is just a few paragraphs away. Blame my chapter spacing (the next chapter's a big one).

    Chapter 7

    Chapter 7. Kieran opened his eyes, immediately closed them because the light made his head hurt, then when there was no let up with the ache, opened them again. Not another migraine. What was the time? 10:30 AM. WHAT? How could that be? He never slept in. Kieran sat up and put his hands to his temples. Rotten headaches, and the doctors were no help. 10:30? Tan would be wondering where he was. Twenty minutes later and feeling quite a bit better Kieran knocked on the door of Tan’s roo

    Chapter 2

    I'm delighted to know that you're enjoying the story. Lol - there are many chapters ahead for you, so I hope your enjoyment continues.
  8. Yay! Keep up the good work, Drew. Your question about responsibility can't really be answered properly by an outsider. Lol - too many variables: The quality of the teaching. The effort on the students' part The volume of material covered Support mechanisms available

    Chapter 6

    Many, many years ago (lol - about 50) I was privileged to be invited to stay for a time with First Australian people in a 'bush camp' as they called it - eating wild honey, turtle cooked on a beach fire, and kangaroo - camped under a shelter with no walls and layers of bark for a roof - and having a talk with an Elder which is is strong in my mind to this day. Still one more member to complete the group - next chapter.

    Chapter 6

    Oh my! You sure are seeing many interesting ideas, some which I wish I'd considered. Remember that Keiran is the son of the High King and that he is 200 years old.

    Thanks DD! Lol - the orange rock is not really an orange rock - as will soon be revealed.

    Chapter 6

    Thank you I very much agree with you about First Australian culture. 60,000+ yrs of culture and harmonious interaction with the diverse and mostly harsh Aussie environment boggles my mind.

    Chapter 6

    Chapter 6. For the next two days the College group was exploring and camping at Kings Canyon so it wasn't till their return to Alice Springs that they caught up with Woorawa again. He stayed talking for almost an hour and his news was that the eye doctor had run a whole barrage of tests which all showed his eyes were in perfect condition, and that everything was organised for the special trip they'd planned in their talk at the corroboree. The original plan was for an evening meeting but whe

    Chapter 5

    Thank you! I plan to post the next chapter tomorrow and in it, as well as visiting a special setting I think you'll remember, Kieran is guided to some interesting self discoveries by the wise elder.
