Continuing Readers:  The sad but perhaps romantic end to this chapter.  Trying to make sure I have this up Monday(tonight) although while “editing” I ended up actually adding unedited text. (1300 words became 2100 words became 3000 words became 3400 words. EDITING FAILED!)  This means I may tweak/correct some stuff tonight-early tomorrow.  I may post some author notes as well later in the week as this was a particularly odd chapter as far as easter eggs goes.

First time visitors: You are welcome to join us above with Volume 2, Queen of Swans, or start with Volume 1: “Red Riding Hood” here.  There is no correct path, only a  long, hopefully fun one 🙂
