The Quest: Chapter 15

And Lord Follyn is dead. I've had people tell me that they don't believe he's really dead.

...

NOT TELLING!

I've changed my mind. I really don't want people to walk away from this chapter thinking Follyn is going to come back. He's not. Sure his body is missing right now, but that's it, it is his body that's missing. He is dead. I promise you this.

Oh, but I introduced a Winter Court sidhe, think she'll show up again? Fun fact, while I knew who I wanted this character to be, I wasn't sure what gender to make her. I had good reasons not to go with either one. I finally decided on female because, while the two main characters are women, all but one of the major supporting cast are male. So I added her as a... her to balance that.

The Quest: Chapter 14

And here we see how Gabriel ended up in his chair. There is more to this back-story, but I won't spoil that here. What I would like to point out is fight in the motel room in Chapter 2 might have a little more meaning now- as this incident is referenced in it.

See? I planned ahead for this!

As for the vision, the purple-green stone is alexandrite. Although the internet has been really stupid about being able to tell me how large the biggest alexandrite is, I am pretty sure the don't get as big as the one in my story. Particularly ones cut into shapes. Anywho, a stone that size would be worth more than just about any other shiny rock on the planet, and its magic!

Edit: I didn't have a name for the doctor while I was writing this, because he wasn't that important, so I just wrote 'Dr. Something'. I told a friend about this and she suggested that I call him 'Dr. Sumtin'. XD

Clearly I went with it, and since none of my beta readers caught it I call it win.
