Haha, Rowenna strikes again!

Legate, will we ever get to read about what seems to be an intriguing backstory on Hilderinc?

Eventually, I think, hopefully yes (it would be nice anyway, backstory loses half of its meaning if nobody ever learns anything about it ). But there is no need to push it and Hilderinc is not, hm, the most extroverted person in the world, so it may go slowly, bit by bit. But I am sort of giving it its natural way, and it seems fine this far. The opportunities to unveil parts of his backstory are coming rather nicely by themselves, it seems.

As for Rowenna, that was a bit of spontaneous action on my part (and Hilderinc's ), but I thought it would be fitting.

Very nice!

I'll try to bring in something from the POV of Stigend for a change as well, in a day or two.

This is looking good!

I hope to have a chance to read Legate's post right now, but I wanted to take this opportunity (while the internet is working here) to say - don't wait for me for anything because internet here at camp is spotty, at best, and I cannot promise to get on and post anything until Friday, at the earliest. I may be lucky and manage to post before then, but don't count on it.

Hi, all! Sorry for disappearing... again... Hopefully I'm not too late to get back in on the action though.

Squee! I am going to be reading all of your posts very carefully from now on; I am on the edge of my seat to find out more about Hilderinc's past!

And I just finished reading a book that has a great deal to do with 'lovers being driven to do the most irrational things'...no, no, it's not that kind of book, it's got swords and battles and magic in it, too, I swear... And reincarnation! (Daggerspell, first of the Deverry series, highly recommended)

*facepalm*

Okay, nice to see people liking it - you shall see, you shall see... it's not anything that big, however... or, maybe it is...

Anyway, I really like it how lively it starts to become nowadays, the only bad thing is now that I am going to be away for about a week and actually even later during the summer my participation will be rather here-and-there from time to time, randomly, as sometimes I will be in places without internet access. But anyway, I will try my best to participate - just it might be a bit more messy. And just saying so that until next Saturday you should not count on Hilderinc participating in anything major (but I can, of course, write stuff later from Hilderinc's perspective if something happens and such).

Hey! I was going to write them riding into the courtyard, and then realized I had no idea what the scene would be like.

Will people be out to meet them? I know no one knows that Eodwine was that near and therefore is now there, but will someone see them? Where will Leof be at that point? Will everyone come out of the hall, or just a few people?

I'd write it from my own imagination, but too many other characters are potentially involved.

Yay! Firefoot and Lhuna and Durelin all in our midst again! I am excited!

I took your hint, Lhuna, and went ahead and posted, bringing them into the courtyard. I dislike the post, but at least they've arrived.

Foley, I put a bunch of words in Saeryn's mouth. Please check them and let me know if and how you want any of them changed.

Posted. Yes, I know this doesn't settle anything. Nevertheless, Eodwine felt that it was important for him to do it.

Nogrod! What are you trying to do? Get Athanar eaten alive??

I am working on something right now, but once I get it finished, I may be able to post again this evening.

Lhuna and I prepared posts at the same time, and hers needed to go ahead of mine, so she messaged it to me and I put hers at the beginning of mine.

By the way, Eegads! What has happened to Saeryn?
