Me too. Me too. I wanna play.

Fixed that for you!

NJC,

Not in this particular situation. I went through a phase where I collected curses.

I'll rework that..

So Anver is something like a Founder, but he still has the use of his staff and does not need to learn how to tap the Nexus?  That might be an advantage if an adversary can impair, poison, booby-trap, or otherwise sabatoge the local nexus.

Excuse me!  Kha killed a dragon.  Granted, she came back as a woman and took to his bed, but whe was still a dragon.

That humankind is the most dangerous creature gives an air of deep truth to the story.

I'm wondering ... Kha's cleansing in Sil's power comes before or after Anver's staff gets to regrow?

It would be something if the whole titanic battle/campaign turned on Kha's unselfishness in returning Sil's power.

Absoletely no rush. Enjoy your vacation. I'm busy ripping my hair out over Joseph's latest chapter. If you never hear from me again, it's because the chapter bored me to death.

Crystal dragon?

Okay, but how is Anver's timeline linked?  Or is it?

No pressure, but I'm suffering withdrawl from your story.

Withdrawl corrected. The updated chapter 18 is up titled, 'Zylph.' I corrected the deficit in Tazar's perspective instead of glossing over it. The activity in Straya is pretty much the same. Anybody have time to let me know what you think? If anyone wants points, tell me I will wipe it out and repost.

NJC, Anver's story starts after Kha abandons the Mage Academy and starts up about two weeks before Kha returns.

I'll be back on track soon. Leaving the campground tomorrow, rain or shine.  Talk then!

KH, I just read your last reviews on Sylph.  I'll say the same thing I would say about Shelob: this milieu is more than just setting.  Leave her alone.  Whether this develops fully as a Milieu Story or not, Sylph is as important to the story as the University President is to yours.  Meaning you could put something else in her place, but the something else has to fit the place.

The University President couldn't be an old stoner whose conversation is interrupted by recurring fugue states.  (Or maybe he could be, and maybe you'd like to take up the challenge, but it will be a distraction in the story.)  So too Zylph must be a critter of the wierd.  She doesn't have to be an ant colony.  She could be a sentient slime mold or an eight-foot porcupine with blinding speed, but she has to crepulate us or horripilate us, or both.
