Chapter Fourteen - Part 2
"You know, Sylvia, you need to learn how to sing."
Oggelly was working with the violin as they walked. He was simply trying to pull pure notes from the instrument as he plodded. It was bothersome as long screeches or wavering notes disrupted the peace of the wooded landscape. Feladin had left to stroll at a distant parallel to see if any fresh meat would be acquired for supper. Sylvia worked to keep up some chatter to ease the passing of time.
Our heroes get involved in a major situation as their new lives begin to find focus.

Chapter Thirteen - Part 3
Keir Thyyellinth was glad that things were finally returning to normal. His prayers were being answered with their usual efficiency. No answers came concerning She-Who-Sings-In-Trees' period of silence, but most people were simply glad to again have the goddess active. King Dureillorshin was concerned with the lack of an explanation however, and had summoned the castle priest to the royal chambers.
It was a very private chamber in the back sections of the monarch's private apartment that Keir Thyyellinth was escorted to. Only a few plush chairs were present along with a small writing desk set in one corner. One wall had a slightly large painting of a view of Castle Nochwellin, but the priest really had no idea what the monarch used this room for except for holding very private meetings. Aynaglitian was seated in a chair, but Thyyellinth considered the royal mage to only be a bother. Throulloss was also present which did concern the priest, although he liked it when witches sought divine guidance.
The story advances as schemes are developed and facts are discussed.

The human awoke very refreshed. He sat up to see the half-elf missing, but Sylvia eating a pear. A smile passed between them.
"Okay, Feladin," said the elven lady, "how did you pick that name?"
Events turn as the story picks up and starts to head in a more serious direction.

Chapter Twelve - Part 2
Rain was coming. The three were traveling west along the river that flowed in the opposite direction to Echinarsh. Spending so much time in the city yesterday, they had not traveled far before deciding to make camp. All studied the holy books that evening, but they spent more time with the structure of the texts than with the words of the texts.
Both holy books started by speaking of the founding of the world. Neither text stated who created the world or how it was made. Both texts said that humans were already here when the gods arrived. From there each book drastically altered as different stories were told from the early days of the world. The books joined again in telling the story of Vintagelle winning his way into the realm of the gods and demanding order. With the establishment of order, something that did not happen until Ristally was convinced that it was good, each book again diverged as it explained each god's part in the present drama of world events.
Plans for the future are made as the last name is chosen.
