Waking up in the nip, in the middle of nowhere, rolled up in a bearskin rug, sounds like something that could have happened to me in my younger drinking days.
So, I added a Drow character (she even has a name: oh, fun fact, "The Dullahan" is a monster in Irish mythology, depicted as a headless rider on a black horse - is this perhaps a portent of things to come?). I'm curious to see what you good folks make of her.
Another fine effort. Kudos to you. The switch between Povs was clever and balanced. You continue to improve and the cliff hanger you left us with was one of your best. Keep up the good work. The other Dave
A vicious foe for sure .
I also noticed a lot of particular attention to Muriah and the securing of her eventual successful future . It seems you have some long term plans for ths tale .
I need help folks, Im looking for your opinion.
I was writing this as a trilogy and the end of this chapter takes this second volume up to 125k words roughly.
So, do I use this sort of fairly virulent event at the end as a fire-break, end volume 2 here and start volume 3, or do I put in another couple of chapters, maybe taking it up to about 150k words?
Opinions please.
I agree with James Duncan, the dark humor is quite delicious! Gortmundy, this latest chapter feels to me more like the start of a new volume, not the end of one. So I think a few more chapters to find an endpoint is the better way forward.
Yes yes I as waiting for dragons to do something! Great story keep it coming
In an effort to read more than one chapter at a time, I waited two whole days before reading this one. I really did try. But, I failed. [sigh] And now the wait begins again.
Very good. I don't care whether you call it a new volume or another chapter. I just want you to keep writing and ultimately finish the story. I have been captured by several episodic stories that ended in the middle, so I hope you stick with it. Kudos.
I've read all 28 chapters in 3 days. I need more! Great story! So much happening and no clue as to what will happen next!
Hello Tipp McClure. Clan Macleod hail from Skye if I recall. Just like Scathach, and her Castle of Shadows.

And then you come up with a new character, Chulainn. With few words you make him a real person who the reader can identify with. Amazing writing, thanks for sharing.
