lizzledpinkEek! I keep forgetting to keep up with this. Sorry. Chapter three, entitled "Shatter a Mirror," is now posted on FFN.
And behind the cut, a sneak preview of Chapter Four's events! Whoo-hoo:
“You’ve brought me a – a parasol.”
Eriol resisted the urge to grin.
“Yes, actually. A parasol. Actually, I thought it was an umbrella, but you are free to call it whatever you like, of course. I’m sorry I was unable to get a pattern. Solid blue is so boring.”
“Why have you brought me a parasol?”
“It is a gift, Ronald, of goodwill. I dare you to test it later. You will find that it might as well be military-grade steel. Not a single ray of sunlight will pass through that parasol. In short, with this over your head, you will be able to step out in daytime. As long as you’re careful, that is.”
Ronald’s eyebrows rose. “That’s quite a gift. Must have been expensive. Where did you get the money?”
“Oh, surely I can have a few secrets, after giving you that precious thing. All I ask is that you ignore that secrets, and accept this as my thanks for helping me find my way home. I hate getting lost.”
“But that you would spend so much… Do you really want to buy us off, Eriol? We are greater in numbers than you. Greater even, than Andrea and all her followers, yourself included. Could it be you fear our rage?”
Eriol’s eyes flashed.
