Chapter 10 is UP, finally. Shocking, but it got long, so I need to finish up the second half of Conclave which is the very oldest part of the story in my head and very visual and so I've struggled with it. But this is still 9,000 words or so, so, yeah, time to get it UP AND DONE. The full exchange between Pierce and Maeve is in this chapter. Heh. Pierce is such a GUY and Maeve has turned all gooey.
I've picked up some new readers and such so I do hope you all won't be strangers!!! Songstream, HikalnStyle, and EleanorJane, thanks so much!!
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose
With Link fixed!
