This is great. Can't wait to read more...
Yes, SRD is occasionally heavy-handed in using names to evoke archetypes. We've known that for forty years...and y'all know me to be a fan of wordplay.
Spoiler: The choice of name for a certain character beloved of two brothers is interesting... |

Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

That countdown is a bit cruel. Only 257 days left.
Oh well, something to look forward to. _________________

Given that there are folks like Way and Av who forego the preliminary chapter releases and wait spoiler-free for the entire book, and also folks who read anything they can as soon as they can, do we need to follow the practice established during the Last Chrons of creating a limited access subforum for discussion of the new series? _________________ Love prevails.

For one chapter, I don't think so. People can start a thread with a warning. Maybe if there's a lot of interest we can do it.

"Now, if faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do. It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us."
