I loved this chapter. There's not a lot of action, but you manage to pass a lot of information in digestible portions rather than in one big info-dump; that's a mark, IMHO, of a good writer. I rather appreciated the info on the tatoos, the pendant, and the various relationships around there that we didn't know. 'Twill be interesting to see how things go from here.

Hi Evan!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad that the blend of information was a good one. I really had wanted to bring the twins back before the end of the story; at the same time, I wanted Lord Aramys back , too.
Lots of action in the next, and final chapter. Though I still feel like I have so much more to tell about these two. Well, maybe in the future, the second act of their lives will be written: 'The Lion and the Hellion'
Thanks for sticking with the story for the duration!
