Yeah, insert random witty disclaimer here, since I know you're clever enough to think of some, because I'm fresh out of ideas.
Review Responses! Woohoo!
Feifiefofum, dude, your killing me man, I am perfectly aware the Realms has an 'L'; but since it bothers you so much (to tell you the truth I didn't even notice it was missing from about five places, I don't know what I was thinking,) I'm fixing it. I might eventually get around to fixing all the other chapters to but when I say 'eventually' I mean an indeterminate place in time that could be anywhere from a week from now to never. I still don't knew what you're talking about with the 'knew' and 'new's, I actually looked at every single place where I used the word new or even used it in part of another word, and they were all correct.
You think Providence is funny? Do you mean funny as in he says amusing things, or funny as in he's just some random entity floating around and looking in on everything that people are thinking and doing, some of which is undoubtedly X-rated? If it's the first one I think you're weird. If it's the second one you probably have a run-away imagination like me and I can't say I blame you even if it sort of goes against the whole seriousness of the story.
I will tell you that Providence doesn't see things in that way. I won't tell you one way or the other as to if or what Providence's gender might be but I will say that Providence is an ether-being: take a guess, you're a smart fellow.
And I know it's likely annoying to keep hearing this from me, but we actually will get more information concerning Providence as the story goes on, last chapter you got something, whether you realized it or not.
Total Fan of Yours!, Yay, I have a fan! Other than the ceiling-fan in my room! Cool! You know what? I'm your biggest fan now, too. Keep reviewing, I love reviews, and I'm sorry this is later than usual; there were some more computer custody issues with my sister as well as an atrocious family camping trip. I really wanted to update for you I swear! And you really think this is the best? I know I think pretty highly of myself, but it's always great to hear it from others, thank you! So you guys know, I've got some other Tortall series fan fictions in mind later, and I think you'll like them.
Ace Ryn Knight , I'm glad you thought Gainel's inner monologues were good, I was actually kind of scared he'd sound too Emo or something. He really is going through a tough time and he doesn't have anyone who can help him, not even Mother Flame as you saw. But he's doing his best, he's a good guy. Thanks for the review and review again! Also, I don't think you're strange; hell knows I'm the strangest one amongst us all, except for maybe fei, he's pretty weird, just kidding fei.
Nativewildmage , Gainel's gonna need a lot more advice by the time this is over, but don't worry, I hate sad endings, so you can bet it'll turn out okay, but how you ask? I'm not teeling you'll have to find out! Review!
Ivory Nightshade yeah, this story is turning out to be the best I've written I think so I want to get it all out for you guys, so I'm doing my bets to update quickly. School starts next week so expect a slow down in updates, sorry! And so glad you like it too, keep reviewing!
Read and review people, sorry it's another short one…

Interlude 3The Threat of Chaos
Uusoae had never felt guilt for anything she had ever done. Guilt was the voice of reason interfering with ones desires and Uusoae desired freedom. To spread her chaos to the Living word, to break the bonds and restraints made by the Greater Gods who called her sister. Order, reason, restraint and stability were her enemies and spared no expense to vanquish them.
It might be hard for one to understand how a Queen of Chaos could plan her escape with such care to detail; to use the mental reasoning that was her nemesis. But the truth was that her very existence was a temporary fixated manifestation of Chaos, and she would once again dissipate into that substance of disarray once her desires had been met.
When the Mother Flame and Father Universe had created the realms and all that dwelt there, they had taken Chaos and shaped of it, the Humans. Mother Flame had shined and from her light had been created the Great Gods. But her light also shown on Chaos and, taking the light into itself, she had been created.
Many times had she battled her Sisters and brothers, and always they had over powered her. But this time, she didn't plan on giving them a chance to fight back, she would free herself into the Living realms, where their powers were limited and hers were made stronger by the presence of the Mortals.
This was a plan she'd had for quite sometime, but until recently, she'd never had the means to put it into action. What being could bring her from Chaos into the living realms? No god would do such a thing, no god could do such a thing, it was not only against their nature, but the laws that governed their kind.
And those laws were all but unbreakable, even by her.
No, it would have to be a mortal. But what mortal could do such a thing? None could, and so she'd forgotten her musings and continued to plot other schemes for release, only to fail, and fail.
Uusoae had been quite surprised when her constructs had witnessed a mortal within the Nether plain; who had apparently come their under her own power.
And she knew. This was the one in whom she had waited for.
It had seemed the strangest coincidence that she should also choose to find herself in her Divine brother Gainel's Realm: the one most accessible to her.
Gainel, the Dream King. When Mother Flame had created the Great Gods to govern the Realms of the Living after the creation of mortals, a place manifested within the Divine Realms and Chaos. A strange realm in and of itself, containing a substance as of yet foreseen by the Great Gods, or the Creator Gods: A mixture of Chaos and Order that did not fight or destroy itself, but existed in tranquility.
When Mother Flame came to examine the substance, her light was taken in and a being manifested itself. Mother Flame gave it dominion over the small realm.
The realm was Dream and the God was Gainel, and he had always existed in his own world, barely moving to help or hinder either Chaos or the Greater Gods and she had left him alone.
To say that he had shocked her with his show of strength and possessiveness over the mortal would still have been a gross understatement. This unexpected behavior was bound to haven sometime, in Uusoae's opinion; he was of course created from both order and Chaos, and she had still not expected, it none the less.
She had grown complacent, expecting him to react the same as all her other Siblings, she had opened herself to the threat of stagnation; the threat of Order; her greatest enemy.
But she would learn from this, she would not make such a mistake a second time. Or perhaps a third time; it seemed to her that the first stirrings of his unusual behavior had been when he'd thwarted her effort during what the mortals had begun to call, The Immortals War.
He had indeed been furious with her when she'd used an immortal to set her free from her prison, and she was more than furious with him for unexpectedly disrupting her escape.
It was clear to Uusoae that she must somehow incapacitate Gainel and the immortal that he had sent to protect the mortal, or else she would never be able to capture the girl.
The law which prevented the gods from destroying her, also kept her from destroying them. But what could she do to one of the Great Gods? There was very little that one of that the Great Gods couldn't bounce back from.
What didn't kill them outright only slowed them down and she couldn't risk his interference. Though he couldn't enter the Living realms any more than she could, his construct had as easy a time as hers, and he could always intercept them while Uusoae's minions brought her into chaos.
Oh, now that was a good idea…
