This weekend I'll be posting what are probably the most consequential (and disturbing) chapters of the Challenge-Quest. Chapters 9 and 10 were extremely challenging to write... and they aren't very happy ones. Note the Tearjerker code. Chapters 11 and 12 are nearly equally important as well, seemingly when the worst is over.
There are consequences in life... and especially with magic. Lydia and Linda, and now directly also our other heroines, discover that even very old debts must in time be paid for. That more than anything else was my purpose for this sequel.
Anyway... about ten more chapters yet to come - depending how much of the follow-up 'Afterwards' I decide to post. Sometimes, less is more.
