This chapter was fun to write, I recall. It was the first time I really got to push the potential of witchcraft to its limits, by showing too powerful witches really tearing into each other. :)
AAAH! :( Poor Dara, she must feel so alone, her only friends turned against her and her house, where she could find rest and solitude, crumbled around her. You did very well writing her increasing despair/hopelessness in this chapter.
"Witch Stone, Jalon," Dara said sweetly. "Witch Stoooooonnnnneeeeeeh."
Haha, when I first read that I was like "Wh-what?" because the Australian accent draws it out: Stooooooone-uh!, a hard stop at the end, not a more raspy hiss.
"Please stop saying those things," Jalon said miserably.
"Fascinating," Jalon said tightly. "Can we please get out of here?"
Hahahaha, Jalon is the best. I would be totally like him in a crisis, it would be like "*Witty retort!* Now LET ME GO HOME :(".

Thank you. :) This may well be Dara's darkest hour. Her usual means of dealing with problems have all proven insufficient in one way or another, and now even her beloved Witch Stone is turning on her. But she's certainly determined to fight to the bitter end with every scrap of power or ingenuity she can muster.
Hahahaha, Jalon is the best. I would be totally like him in a crisis, it would be like "*Witty retort!* Now LET ME GO HOME :(".
Poor Jalon. Dara, Aseena and Rinabaar all signed up for an adventurous life, even if they are currently getting far more adventure than they ever wanted. Jalon just wanted to play music and hang out with his mates down at the pub. ;)
