I've had a couple of comments about how chapter 4 ends at the same place as chapter 3. I was fighting with transitioning to the next major event and the more I wrote, the more it felt like Mera's side of events so far made for less bulky explanations and world-building for the next chapter. This way, Ashur can move forward without bogging the story down.
Chapter 5 will start from the cliffhanger and start things rolling to the next part of their adventures.
I promise!
