So tell 'em it hurts like hell and you can barely see straight.  Bam!  Emergency.  (I'm worried that's actually what's making me feel ill these last couple days.  I know I have teeth that need to come out.)

Maybe you should get some Naproxen Ghostium so you can get your teeth taken care of.

For non-demi ghosts, Naproxen Ghostium is called Jack Daniels (Number 27 Gold).

Not if your body is alcohol-intolerant, it isn't.  I'd puke that shit up long before it reduced any pain.

Thanks so much for writing off a chapter I had a REALLY hard time writing, as "blah".

Eric Storm

Damn man had my eyes watering quite a lot in this chapter. Laughed out loud when the king said David didn’t have to worry about getting disemboweled. Wish there had been something a bit more concrete on the school/ Daily front. Although I do enjoying David pushing the bureaucrats around I do hope this break does help rein in his dark side. All in all another fulfilling chapter. Eagerly awaiting the next one

I KNEW IT!

Zyla is the ONE, that's why Olissa never said anything before.
With Joe still alive and being Zyla's husband, it would not have gone well if she had say anything.

Good chapter.

Mad at you about Virtue's part, you SADIST!

I'm glad the king refuse David's request. I'm not glad the Kyle's family is still alive though. But hey, can't have everything in life.


I was surprised with the woodward's part. I didn't think that you'll put that in here. We don't learn anything new though, was it just to remind us about this sub-plot ?
I find it weird that no one from The school tried to contact David. Emile especially. Is it some kind of hint that Emile interest in him was just for Dailey ? I wonder.

Really the part with Zyla, well I saw it coming miles a way. I hope you won't go the cliche route about the development of their relationship, it would be disappointing, great I bet but a bit disappointing.

I have to say, the scene really felt different than all the other. I can't put my finger on it though.

I do have to wonder why the part about the Zombie Guy. Hint at David finding a way to de-petrify him and take over his body ?

Well great chapter, keep up the good work.

Do not take this as confirmation (or denial) of your assertion, just a clarification:  Zyla and Olissa do not know each other.  They have only been in the same room together once, and that was at a Christmas Party where they never interacted.

Not true.  We now know that there was some kind of activity going on to, at the very least, keep tabs on David.  This was not something that was confirmed before.  As to why I put it in there... well, because David would have wanted to check up on it.

I find it weird that no one from The school tried to contact David. Emile especially. Is it some kind of hint that Emile interest in him was just for Dailey ? I wonder.

They know David's busy.  They would assume, since he has not contacted THEM, that he doesn't have time to socialize.  Not to mention, they have a school to deal with.  Out of sight is very often out of mind.  And keep in mind, they no longer have the simple communication method they're used to:  Mirrors don't work now, which means communicating requires using some other means.  I imagine Dugerrans don't write letters any more frequently than Technos do...

Really the part with Zyla, well I saw it coming miles a way. I hope you won't go the cliche route about the development of their relationship, it would be disappointing, great I bet but a bit disappointing.

What would you consider the "cliche route"?  You obviously believe they're going to end up together, but your comment implies you don't want them to.

The pieces of the OP will have to come together fairly quickly and would need seemingly disparate parts to come together to make the whole thing work.

To clear up another apparent misconception:  The elemental shield has pieces hidden in various locations.  The OmniPortal just needs to be built.  The problem with the OmniPortal is finding its location, not in building the gateway.

I don't often get to correct you (with certainty - remember, it's your worlds) but Zyla and Olissa were both present at David's Potion Masterpiece Presentation Day during his fourth year and at the celebration party afterwards. In fact, Zyla presented Grace as proof that David permantly cured her Wilburwarts ("The Council members turned to look at the little girl, who Zyla gladly held up to show them was fine and healthy.") Everyone in the room would have turned to look at Zyla and Grace, including Olissa.

Also, they were both present when David was made a full Rimohr in March of year seven.

Wonderful chapter.
I didn't really enjoy Virtue's part, but ... exigencies of war and well portrayed. Do all self-aware creatures have ghosts?
With the situation developing between David & Zyla (with no expectations either way about her being "the one"), I have to wonder if Joe will make another appearance.
I liked David's dealing with the job and, in general, the entire time that he spent with the king. Gave an insight into how much he has his fingers in David's situation.

You weren't supposed to.

Is there a map available for Woodward?

Dugerra Map Thread  This forum thread has a link to a Google Maps overlay for Dugerra, along with some description of other place names that can't be put on the map due to Google's limitations.

So far each chapter is just adding more awesome to this story. My only burning curiosity at this point is if Dean Lengel was working for Dailey, will she survive David finding proof of that? Her actions, if they were planned and deliberate, cost him someone dear.

... Okay, you lost me.  Who did David lose due to Dailey's plan?
