Yep! New situations! New characters! But still Widderkin! 😀
-
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and support, @Philippe. This new part of the story is (mostly) confined the Human World so the 'mystery and excitement' might present somewhat differently. At any rate, I sure hope you enjoy it.

Widderkin VOE. Chapter 5. "No, Woorawa! The National Government claims ultimate sovereignty. Disregard any fine sounding words of recognition and cultural understanding. In the final analysis the government takes its sovereignty over the continent as a given. The prospect of so much wealth will make the sacrifice of a few minor cultural sites nothing more than the price of progress." Tan arced up at that. "Minor? You shouldn't say that, Professor. The whole district is protes

I had to look up 'earworm'. What a wonderful description. I wish I'd known it when I wrote the chapter. Lol - Rhys would have had a field day with it. Hmm! Yes, I suspect the crew are in for a bit of a wake-up.
-
Thanks Dathi, It was a fairly quiet, getting things together kind of chapter really - but!!!
-
Yes, the 'evildoers' (I love that description) are starting to react. I wonder how far they will go? Time constraints? Surely the friends deserve a bit of a break? - They've got four or five days before they're due back for the public council meeting, so some relaxed self time might be a great idea, especially for Woorawa. - Hmm??

Widderkin VOE Chapter 4. The flight to Melbourne was over before they knew it. First off there was quite a discussion about Woorawa’s welcome home gathering, Auntie and little Jarli in particular, and then the light show, as Rhys called it. Next was one of the practice sessions both Ranevargar and Burrimul had pressed as a priority. The plan for it to be extensive and comprehensive folded after half an hour when Woorawa, usually the main motivator, closed his eyes in the midd

Yes! Kieran's dramatic touch might stir the waters a bit.
-
I'm so glad you enjoyed the Happy Dance and the way it affected the kids in particular. I've got a real soft spot in my heart for little Jarli, Woorawa's young cousin. Yes, you're spot on about Auntie. - watch for developments.
-
Lol! If the iced water turned out to be more than just a threat I'm sure that Rhys's response would be, well, - interesting. Yep! A bit of theatrics to help spread the message.

Widderkin VOE. Chapter 3. There was one car in the park when they arrived in the minivan and, loaded with supplies as they walked the short distance to the gathering area, Kieran realised that daylight viewing effectively made this a new place for all the companions. "Hey! Are we going to look at the caterpillars while it’s still light?" "We’ll look at everything, Rhys, with a short explore so we all feel a sense of place." Kieran understood well that Woorawa and his peo

Me too! - and now that you've mentioned it, the chorus will be stuck in my mind for days. That gem of association wasn't mine, though. It came from the creative mind of @Philippe,

Great to hear you enjoyed the chapter! 😀 You're spot on about Auntie - as we'll soon see.
-
Thank you @Daddydavek. I've been wondering how the amount of time passed might affect readers' recollections, so to hear you're 'right back into Widderkin world' is very affirming.
-
Hmm! This made me think - there are unpleasant elements in all walks of life - we're people! 'Awesome' ? Wow!

Widderkin VOE. Chapter 2. Next morning the minibus pulled up behind an old ute where five or six people were gathered, listening to directions from Auntie Arika, and Burrimul turned to the friends with a big smile. "Auntie Arika enjoys organising so she’s running the protest tent. She might act like a general with all her orders but just go along with them and let me know if there’s anything important." Woorawa led the way and, after an onslaught of hugs and excitement when A

Word of the day night. -
We meet various new characters too and the friendships widen. 😃
-
Thank you. 😃 I hope your anticipation gets satisfied.
-
Great to hear! This section of the story is mostly in the Human World but, somehow, unusual things keep happening. We'll meet some new characters too and I hope you find them interesting. 😀😃😀
-
Hi @Dathi, Lol, It's been so long I wondered if readers would remember me. Your kind comment sure counters that. The story stands at just over 100K words at the moment and breaks down to something over twenty posts so I hope there's enough action and ideas to hold interest Yay! Great first comment. Thank you.

Widderkin VOE. *** Raptor eyes blinked at a flash of reflected sunlight, swivelled to a passing view of steel, concrete and glass, then focused on distant movement. Behind the momentary mirror, human eyes turned from the sparkling blue of the harbor below. "Thank you for accepting my invitation, gentlemen. I am looking for your assistance with a project of international significance. Please make yourself comfortable, and I will explain." Three government ministers settle

Kieran and his friends, returned from the Realms, face troubles of a human kind.

I'm delighted to know you enjoyed the story. And, yes, a bit more 'language of Aus' does turn up in my other stories. One of my readers of 'Widderkin' featured in the comments with his translations of 'Australianisms'.

Yep! Ive known it as scroggin for about sixty years, trail mix for about twenty.
