Borden really surprised me in this chapter - things are certainly mobilizing. An interesting way to change gears Rachel. WOW, each character has such an individual potent energy of their own.

I pictured her very vividly. She reminded me a little bit of Eowyn, when she is standing at the Golden Hall when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli ride in with Gandalf. Hair blowing in the breeze, standing tall and strong. Very cool.<br/><br/>Looking forward to more!! :-) I totally agree with Libby: Mirian was striking in this chapter! I pictured her very vividly.

I love this story. The "Presence" and Joachim showing up. It was just so...fitting. And the complexities you're setting up are, as Kirk said, really doing the job of building tension. I can see in small ways how you're preparing for the climax--that mysterious, who knows what will happen? climax.<br/><br/>It's always one character; just one character in each of your chapters who is so vivid, I can see and hear them. Kardas was the one in the last two, Mirian was the one this time. First the set up with Mirian, her fiery hair and bare feet, meeting the soldiers, and Borden's perspective as he sees and greets her. Then the great dialog between them that followed in the hall--the passion in him barely repressed and her spirited but cautious replies. (Am I sensing a little Bois-Guilbert in Borden? Oh, dear. Only he wants to make her his queen, right? Poor, misguided, pride-driven Borden.) Anyway, Mirian was striking in this chapter.<br/><br/>Now I'm wondering what you're going to do with poor Lilia. She's getting so weak. She's not going to make it, is she? How tragical.<br/><br/>Well, I loved it, as usual. I hope you keep up with writing and posting during your trip. Oh, man. I love this story.
