"Cara could only slap her hand on her face and wonder how fate had provided her with a child naive enough that it would stroll into a Mord'Sith temple without a second thought and get out alive." -- Noa is definitely Kahlan's daughter.

I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard: "What did you do?" [...] "put her hair in a bowl and spit on it?"

The wizard snapped his neck towards her. "Did you spy on me?!"

I really like how you emphasize Noa's desire for everyone to be happy as a sign that she's make a good Mother Confessor.

Heart-breaking because it's both true and not completely true right now as Cara and Kahlan aren't together: "A floor away Cara had a watchful eye over the bonding of daughter and mother, protecting the two most important females in her life with her presence and finding her own thoughts linger on questions she was unable to answer now.

But there was one truth she was sure of.

This is my family."

[dark_kurai]

She totally is. It's the genes, I tell ya!

I swear, I was musing about how Zedd might find out about the magic and suddenly I had this crazy image in my head of him spitting in the bowl and watching how it looked in the sunlight. And then I had to add it :D

For us, they totally are a family <3 (and I'm sure they'll get enlightened too. Someday.)

Sleeping in after bbq with my best friends, choclate-cake made by my lil' sis, chilli-cheese-nuggets + a cold beer in my hand AND an update by you... can my b-day get any better??
...uh, there's a surprise too? Could it be...?

[dark_kurai]

Wow, cool birthday :D I hope the bonus update made it better, 'cause birthdays need to be awesome! *wants chocolate cake too*

[dark_kurai]

Ha, cool that you think so! I'm always contemplating what could be something from Kahlan, what could be from Cara and what is pure Noa. It's actually much fun to juggle those three parts in her :D

She became better. She's in therapy. I heard they gave her a special patch of grass, too.

*points and laughs* Cara did a face-palm, Cara did a face-palm *snickers* and Noa going balls out to a temple to steal an Agiel *claps* Epic! XD Why don't they just name her Seeker as well? XD

*points at Kahlan* Don't you get all huffy puffy about Noa using an Agiel, Miss I'm Engaged to the Seeker *glare glare*

[dark_kurai]

Not just one, believe me :D Maybe they think if they add one more kind of magic, then Noa will spontanously combust or something (and, well, Richard is the true blablablaaa..yadda yadda)

Well, she did calm down pretty quickly... although I still think you're right XD Bad Kahlan, bad!

[synergyfox]

Or it might even out for once, she's got three, one more and bam. Poor little Zedd and his hair change...

Hermph... she needs to be scolded.

[dark_kurai]

Maybe they can try it. Once they catch the girl. I think she's running away over there, in terror at the thought of even more duties *snort*

I have the perfect person for that! *singsongs* Caraaa~aa, one scolding in room 3, please!

First I gotta say something. You wrote somewhere that Confessors are trained by the Sisters of the Light or something. I'm pretty sure though that they don't have anything to do with each other at all. Confessors are only taught by other Confessors. And Sisters of the Light pretty much keep to themselves, except that they train young wizards.
Hope you don't mind me saying that!

Ok, now to this chapter.. OMG I pretty much laughed through all of this XD it's EPIC :P Okay, I wanna read the next one now *goes off to read part 22*

[dark_kurai]

That's actually a point that has me scratching my head. At first I didn't mention anything about the Sisters of the Light 'cause I thought "Okay, they all get trained in Aydindril, no question there", but then I watched episode... 5? And Kahlan says that the Sisters of Light took care of here where Renn is taken (something with an A... a magical valley or something). And then I was confused and thought "Okaaaay, maybe she wasn't trained in Aydindril then" and changed the sentence. Maybe they mistranslated it in the german synchro or maybe I didn't listen correctly. I would be veeery thankful if you could tell me what they said in that episode :] I think I'll take the Sisters out anyway, Aydindril and Confessors training Confessors really makes more sense.

It was as much fun writing it as I hope you had fun reading it :D

[synergyfox]

Renn gets taken to Thandore where Kahlan was trained (according to said ep) with the magical valley thingy.

[dark_kurai]

Why, whyyyy do they need to confuse meeee? *sobs*
