The new chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting.

This week's chapters are very busy. Craig and Jorani visit the Department of Public Security, which has an unfortunate accident. They follow that up with a visit to the Army camp, where unfortunate accidents continue to occur.

Later, he takes Tsepak with him to visit the remaining local government building which also has an accident. At the Army camp that day, they learn about the trouble in Lhasa.

Craig and Jorani return to the government food warehouse to pick up another order after visiting the Department of Communications for a time.

Later, Craig visits the food warehouse again alone. The guard there doesn't wish to challenge his Dragon.

Craig starts thinking about returning home, but there are things to finish in Tibet first. The Queens of Old show them how to return home.

These two chapters were enjoyable to write and are fast paced. Not a lot of research was required for them.

Enjoy these chapters, more next week.

I wish all of the Readers of Stories On Line the Very Happiest and Most Prosperous of New Year's.

The new chapters have been sent to the Moderators for posting. This week for Christmas I have posted three chapters.

This week's chapters open with a discussion of the Black-market and stores. The following day they decide on the Dragon's answer. Following that, they learn about the government food warehouse and have a run-in with the police. Jorani solves the problem with Magic. The security detail sent when alerted to her use of Magic doesn't understand what had happened.

That night there are many questions about the food warehouse which they check out the following day along with other government facilities.

That night, they visit the food warehouse and pick up an order. They arrange for the Black-marketeers to deliver the food.

Their first target to cause trouble is the post office. The following night they target the White Palace creating quite a bit of trouble.

The following day is spent inspecting the Tribute at the Nest. They make some interesting discoveries. Later they check out the Army camp. Meanwhile, the Chinese authorities become aware of their presence in the country.

These chapters were very interesting to write, but still required a good bit of research.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

I wish all of the Readers on Stories on Line the Very Merriest of Christmases.

This week's chapters open with the General in Charge of the military in the Tibetan Autonomous Region receiving a report of the destruction of the missile site.

Meanwhile, Craig and Jorani go through the portal to the location where those working for the Dragons created things for them. They eventually learn where they are when they meet a monk and he explains things.

Later, the Queens have things for them to do, and while out looking for a meal, they meet another even older Dragon.

The following day they meet the contact arranged by the monk and learn about the plight of the poor and the old. They also go to the Barkhor Market to see where many Tibetans shop.

These chapters while somewhat easier to write still required a lot of research to develop the information and background in them.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

This week's chapters open with Craig and Jorani approaching their destination. They stop for a meal. The following morning, Craig transfers them to the Dragon-lands, where they meet an old Dragon. Later they return to the Human Reality and fly around Mount Kailash.

They are fired on by a Chinese missile site, which they deal with. From there, they fly in search of the Nest.

Jorani knows how to access the Nest. She becomes the Dragon Queen of the East when they reach the assembly hall. They sleep in the queen's nest that night. Jorani is anxious for sex and gets pregnant that night.

They continue exploring the Nest the following day, and eventually come to a large cave with two lakes. At the back of the cave there are two portals. One leads to where Humans made things for the Dragons and themselves.

These two chapters were easier to write and required less research, as they drew on material from Dragon Wytch.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.

This week's chapters open with Craig and Jorani receiving help from a Tibetan Lama in exile, so they can reach Tibet. They are helped with lodging, equipment, clothing, and transportation in and around Kathmandu.

On the fourth day they are flown to Simikot, an airfield in in northwestern Nepal. From there they travel to Hilsa, a small town on the boarder with Tibet. That night they fly into Tibet in Dragon form to a deserted ancient fort to spend the night. The following day they visit Taklakot for food and other things. That night they fly to the area near the two large lakes near Mount Kailash.

These chapters presented a different challenge. While there were numerous accounts of trips or pilgrimages to the places in the story, there was little agreement between them.

They originated from numerous locations and with various modes of travel, even from the same location. The names of places were often different for the same location, and the distances traveled plus the time required seldom agreed. The distances and names used in the story are the best that I could discover based on maps and the various accounts.

Enjoy these chapters. More next week.
