'Fascinating' - great to hear! That's a very interesting thought about the 'sprituality'. The fantasy side starts to ramp up from here on.
-
Lol - the maths is purely to show Keiran's special thinking ability and doesn't really feature much more. 'cronies' - I love this apt description- hmm! getting their due might be rather interesting.

Yes, Keiran is facing some serious challenges rather well. And yes, the elves face their own challenge with Rhys's gift - how will they cope?
-
Hmm! Interesting conjectures. Some answers are soon revealed, others much later from Keiran & Co's point of view. I'm delighted you're still enthralled. I made a big check of chapter 6 this morning and some big revisions are required so it might be a few weeks before the next post.

Yes, the migraines result from Lord Maynor's direction in the Realms. It will be a while yet before Keiran & Co figure out exactly how it all works.

Lol - lots more happenings when actions and reactions escalate. Since you're interested, here are a couple of links to the Caterpillar Dreaming rock art Woorawa shows Keiran and Rhys: http://www.pbase.com/travelgame/image/87433591 and this link shows a broader view - you need to scroll down to the Emily Gap picture. https://www.photoreview.com.au/locations/australia/the-east-macdonnell-ranges/

Chapter 5. *** Rhys was reading a novel outside and his face lit up at Kieran's happy expression. "That wasn't long. You said you might be doing a whole new exam." "They asked me about the methods I’d use instead, and I only had to show them I knew what I was doing. I could tell they were on my side almost straight away. Mr B must have told them about the study method we used because they got me to use it for only one problem." "Just one? And they’ve given your scholarship ba

Thanks, @centexhairysub, for your thoughtful comments. Yes, Rhys is central to the story but several new and important characters come on the scene in the next few chapters. Lol - Geston is an ass - but - remember that some of his assness (if that's a word) is directed and exaggerated by Lord Maynor.

Hi @chybrain, Thanks for your interest. The idea for the title came from a word I've always liked and associated with magic. - 'WIDDERSHINS' I always understood it to mean 'anticlockwise' but when I checked for the story I found out that it's from two words of German origin and means 'against the sun'. - lol - it works for the Northern Hemisphere because the sun's direction appears as clockwise, but in the Southern Hemisphere where I live the sun's direction appears as anticlockwise. At any rate, I used the 'against' part (widder) to represent 'against the norm' for attraction in the Elven Realms, and joined the 'kin' for people or family. So, the title is my creation and not a real word.

Yes, a very true friend and, yes indeed, Rhys's involvement will be crucial.

Chapter 4. *** "That's crazy. He was there in the room with me all the time. He knows I couldn't have, and why’s he getting you to tell me all this? He should be doing it himself." It was a week after the scholarship exam and Mr B. had just told Kieran the senior maths lecturer was claiming he must have cheated somehow because his results were too good to be true. "He knew I'd been coaching you, Kieran, and that it was on my recommendation you entered, so he discussed it with me
