This was the only time I can remember not wanting to come home. The gates were open and the guards were quiet as we passed through. They courtyard was shortly filled with servants and villagers, all come to see what was happening. And as they realized what it was they began weeping and wailing. The sight was almost too much for me to bear. No. It was too much for me to bear. I left Balor to the task of securing the body of my father until the funeral, while I went to find Mother. She would not handle the news well, but it had to be done. She would already be hearing that we had returned and likely the news of her husband’s death would be reaching her ears soon as well. I needed to be there.

And Chapter 9 before bed. I am ready to sleep, but I am still a bit uneasy. Parts of this story are attaching to me. Or, perhaps it is the steroids. They said I would have some emotional effects.
It has been a long time since I wrote the short story that spawned this story, and now I am going back to fill in the origin. I wish I could add that story into this one, as it would fit quite well. I have to decide how much I want to adhere to the rules of NaNoWriMo, or just finish the book as I want to be be.
And, as promised, the quote from Felicia Day. I am very excited about this, as this quote truly drove the chapter. I held back tears as I wrote. The next chapter starts getting exciting again, as we will deal with Damon's preparation for Vengeance and all the lessons that come with it.
