@KiltmanBagz No problem at all. It's nearing the end of semester for me and finals are approaching. Busy doesn't begin to describe me.

Act two of the original three is done. It is about 100 pages and 23k words. I'll be merging the first two acts into one and the book will end up being about twice as long as originally projected.

Act 1 of 3 is done. It’s about 100 pages and 23k words and has a prelude, 8 chapters, and an interlude. I’m looking at 100k words as an approximate goal.

Thrawn: "I have read about the nightswan. Have you?"
Nightswan: "You refer to the fact that it sings only as night is falling?"
Thrawn: "Yes. You do not expect your stand to succeed, do you?"
Nightswan: "I know that it won't succeed."
Thrawn: "That does not necessarily mean the end. I can give orders for you to be taken unharmed."
Nightswan: "They will be ignored. Half the troops here are Batonn Defense and Restos is determined to get rid of me."
Thrawn: "Then come with me now!"
Nightswan: "A man must do what he must, Admiral Thrawn. Even if his stand is against the fall of eternal night."

I don't notice the filter on my copy
What's with all the hypotheticals around spam recently? Also I wanted to use this opportunity to make a page called Topic Title
I've got a military character I'd like to dust off
So I'm almost done with Skin Game. They're all really good books. If you haven't read them all yet you guys really should.

“Yes, part of what I'd like us to find out by the end of this is how he's been reincarnating himself. Off of the top of my head I'd say that he may be transferring himself into another's body before his own dies.” He let that sink in for any who hadn't faced the necromancer yet. Then he added; “Each time we've encountered the man called Kemmler he has worn a different face and body. I assume that he's not cared for his old one or that he switched with someone else, this given that it takes more effort than is necessary to actually fabricate a body." He ground his staff into the first and grass. "And, no we have no intention of burning London down. It does seem like he needs to be in London. This is aided by the fact that it's the symbolic center of the world.”
Most wizards understand that symbolism isn't just symbolism. While London isn't actually the center, because the world’s round, it appears roughly as the center on a world map and so it is symbolically the center. This symbolism gives it a kind of power. Melvus understood this and assumed that everyone present did as well.

“None taken my friend. Words cannot hurt me while I serve God and his greater purpose.” His accent wasn't very thick. It sounded as though he was born in the US to French parents. As he said the words he glanced upward. “Now, master wizards, how do we plan to get to London? This is your quest, I've been placed here as a humble helper and nothing more.” He said the words as though he'd just finished Sunday service; cheerful and full of delight.

“My first thought was the Nevernever. We could open a way into London. The only issue with this is that Kemmler might have guards near the entrances…” he took a moment to think, “we could use a mirror… more dangerous but possible and can get us past whatever defenses he has in place.” While Melvus allowed the others to discuss how they'd get to their destination, he removed his formal robes, revealing his casual clothing underneath. He replaced the formalwear in his bag and fastened his woolen overcoat around himself.
