I liked it . . . Alot . . . Maybe he's realising, accepting, that he shouldn't marry Keaira . . . All dangers lay there . . . ? Glad he took on more bulk . . . Mmm Is he . . . ? Could he . . . ? Be a 'first' . . . Ooh . . . I think so!

You just can’t appreciate my art.

Besides, you can turn the page. Everyone else had to scratch their head for days.

OK, I admit I was confused this time.

So yeah I thinks it might have been said already but what the hell???

The scene change would've helped if there was a curtain or something.

Either way kudos, I like it.

The beginning was disturbing, but then it strongly reminded me of Luke Skywalker's dream scene where he fights pseudo Darth Vader-Who-Is-Really-Luke.

Poor Tiergan. The last line had so much emotion and sadness.

No, Vercin, I meant that knowing Chris as I do I cannot believe he would ever want to spend any significant amount of time in the viewpoint of a character like that. But I could be wrong. Tomorrow might see the dawn of a new serial, The Tale of Butch The Meaty Fisted Bastard, just to prove me wrong.

Sarah—you mean he’d never -live- to write a main character like that? Without being quite as sure as you are, yes, I’d say the angst is a good sign.

ShadowKat . . . .you’re close. If the dream was precognitive, I would say that he would have had to turn into a more Faolan-like person in order to marry Keaira. Think back to her father’s ” . . . when you can take her from me” comments and the fact that he’ll probably have to go through Faolan to get her. Fighting fire with fire is effective, but most of the time, you end up on fire.

Around about the time of WR30, I was debating allowing more mythology into the story, but, since writing WR30, I seem to have gotten it out of my system. The thing runs in a physical universe, and I guess that’s the way I like it.

So, in short, my intent here was not a prophetic dream. It’s just Tiergan torturing himself, as he is wont to do.

Now I’ve just got to figure out what is going into WR58. To be honest, I wrote this installment at least in part to buy some time, while I figured out the next scene, but it doesn’t seem to done any good.

re-reading WR30 reminded me that at the time I read that chapter, I thought that the werewolves might have a goddess or something, some kind of magic, that watches over them and guards the ones who should survive for the sake of the race. why not have omens and warnings come into dreams? whether it be from a higher power or yourself? one of my worst fears is waking up to find that I don't even recognize myself anymore. sucks that Tiergan had it. nice to see that he ended up marrying Keaira though. which might have turned him into a more Faolan-like person. too bad.
