It's so much fun!! Thanx…and here are my notes to all of you wonderful reviewers!
Wildmage101: Yes…you are not home…dance…talked to your brother for like ½ an hour 'til he said so…my life is chaos currently…check your message machine for full details…and I'll see you tom…

Anastazia Silverwind: That is true…considering I only joined in October, but let's let it stay that way…Glad you decided to read more…You will see where I am going, (if you keep reading, that is…) and why is the "transported to Tortall thing" pointless if you don't even know what my eventual outcome is? As I like to say, life is a marathon, not a sprint, and in the end it may very well be worthwhile…
Milko01: What is not fair? (Besides the obvious twist of me killing off all of the main characters) hehehe sorry…I'm a bit tired…Yes!!! Keep reviewing…and thanks for the review…

Witchblood13: You really got it? (My point in life is clear again) Cool…Numy is lost sometimes…but so is Amanda…so…I read fanfics during class sometimes too…(or at least I used to) my technology teacher lost her mind and decided that ff.net was an "academic website" better for me, I guess…thanks for reviewing (even if they're not all at once…) it's something to look forward too…so when you get a chance…review more…and tell me what you think…
OoOliviaOoO: Thanks…glad you updated…I'll read if I get a chance sometime this weekend…Thanks…and read more and tell me what you think…

Roccovende: Yes, it is fun…Thanks, I'm glad you like it…I would leave a longer response, but it's late, and I have to get some sleep…sorry…Thanks, and the angst was good for only a bit, it's ending now…I don't really like writing it… that was a greatly appreciated, long review, and I hope you read and review more…
Whew…now that that's done (it took forever to type) the chapter is here! I know it may be a tad on the short side, but they will get longer, and I update pretty often, so the cliffy's don't last for too long…Read the note at the end for more info, and happy readings:

Of Gods, and of Mortals
Amanda was nowhere. There was no up, no down, no right or left. All was darkness around her. Then she saw tall figures surrounding her in a circle. There were men and women, animals and beings the likes of which Amanda had never known. They were gods. There was another being in the center of the circle surrounding her. It kept changing from a person, and an animal, and non-living things, never lasting on anything for too long. This was Uuosae, the queen of chaos. She stepped back, horrified at the very sight. There was a balance, between the realms of chaos and the realms of the gods, and in order to break through this barrier, Uuosae had been using Ozorne, a mortal, to help her. This she was forbidden to do. Amanda knew this from the book The Realms of The Gods, in which similar events had occurred. Suddenly, from all around Amanda, a voice spoke. It seemed to come from above, but Amanda could not see through the blinding light above her.
"Uuosae, my daughter" Amanda covered her ears with her hands, and doubled over in pain. The voice was great and terrible, never meant for any mortal to hear. It wrung out endlessly in her mind, and hurt terribly. A figure stepped from the circle, and put a comforting arm around her. The pain subsided, and Amanda was able to hear again. She looked up gratefully to see Daine, who smiled down at her. The voice seemed female; it must be the mother of the Tortallians gods, Mother Flame. "You have attempted to break through the boundaries set for from the very beginning. For this, you must be imprisoned."
The retched creature that was Uuosae raised its head to look up at the beings that Amanda could not see. A male voice spoke, that of Father Universe, the father of the Gods.
"You will be confined to your own realms for four centuries" T
There was a deafening crashing, and Amanda closed her eyes, when she opened them, Uuosae was gone as well as the blinding light above her.
A woman spoke to her now, the Great mother goddess, Amanda looked down in respect, as she was fixed with two deep, sapphire eyes.
"We have you to thank for this," she said, her voice wrung with the babble of a running stream, and the roar of a great fire. "Without you, we would not have realized what Uuosae was doing until it was too late. You will have your life back, since you should never have died of chaos poisoning."
"But why?" Amanda asked in disbelief. "Why will you give me my life back? Why won't I just die and go to the realms of the dead, now instead of later." Her voice dropped almost to a whisper "There is no use living anymore"
There was a long pause during which Amanda stared straight into those dark, bottomless eyes and did not flinch. Then the Great Goddess said softly.
"Because, Amanda Wettle, that is not your path."
Then, her voice taking on a more formal tone, she said, "If there is anything we can do to repay you, simply tell us."
Amanda looked up at Daine, a pained look on her face. "The one thing I want, I will never have again." she whispered.
Daine nodded, as if she understood. Amanda closed her eyes, and Daine placed her fingers on them.
"Time will tell."
