The response I got from the last chapter was amazing! I never expected that much after not updating that long.

Oh.. and it was 35 degrees celsius...

And I have to apologise beforehand. My sentences and just english in general today feel horrible. I am so sorry if this is cringe worthy.


Will was broken from his long period of boredom by a knock on the door. He sat up straight, stopped acting like he was insane in the hope that it was another ranger and answered with a 'come in'. To his own sorrow it wasn't another ranger waiting on the other side of the door to release him and allow him to go back to Alyss, instead three knights came barrelling him and manhandled Will to the door.

"Why do you feel the need to drag me to the door as though I was some large criminal accused to treason against the king?' he asked and allowed himself to be pulled along. The knights remained silent and continued in their job. Will was starting to wish that Horace was here, at least he would have had a decent conversation as he was being dragged willing down a hall.

Strangely enough the odd group didn't pass anyone as they travelled through the normally bustling castle. There was a sense of baited breath and as a ranger, this made Will nervous. They turned down multiple corridors until everything started to make sense and Will realised that he wasn't being sent to talk to Crowley somewhere where they were able to restrain him just in case his "crazed" mind went walking, instead they took him outside.

It was when they reached the stables that Will started panicking. He thrashed around for a moment before admitting that even though he knew he was skilled at fighting, having two no brain, bashers, who constituted of all brawn and no brain, he wasn't going to win. Especially when there was a third walking close by.

"Where are you taking me?" Will attempted to ask them.

No response.

"Do you know who I am? I'm Will Treaty! Why are you taking me places?" he quickly said, half to get the knight's attention, half in the hope that someone nearby who might not be able to see what was going on but could hear, would intervene.

Two minutes and they continued dragging him without a response.

Will gave up and slumped down. If they were going to drag him somewhere and not answer any of his questions, he might as well make their job harder, it wasn't as though he was a prisoner of war and was likely to get in trouble if he didn't cooperate.

They reached the stables and let Will stand up by himself. Thankful for the small reprieve, he got up off the floor and started walking over to Tug to get him ready.

"No."

It was the first thing he heard the knights say and it stumped him for a moment before he continued.

"No. You are to use this horse," the knight continued and point to a horse to his left. Will cast one more longing look at Tug before walking over to the other horse.

This is going to be a challenge. I learnt to ride on a ranger horse. I hope we aren't going far, Will thought as Tug neighed in confusion in the background.


I was just exploring the login section of this site and found out (actually I knew it before but never really bothered) that you can read the reviews that you gave once upon a time. It records your latest 300 reviews and so, being curious I went down and looked at the earliest review there.

I was disappointed to note that it was from 2011.

Having only reviewed 30 times last year, I have decided that it was a selfish wish to ask for more people reviewing my stories when I spend most of my time not reviewing myself. So instead I have decided to work on something this year.

I am going to review what I read. I understand that there are a lot of people who already do this and have committed to review everything they read, but I am wanting to take it one step further.

For every person who reviews on my stories, I am willing to review one of theirs (obviously there are limitations such as anon reviewers and those without stories). This is going to be my thing now and I expect people to hold me to it :)

Don't be afraid to review and then later on comment on how I haven't review yet.
