Killer-Kate and Luke Lackland: 600 words. Something went wrong, and nobody knows what, except that most of their best-beloveds are off somewhere else doing hair-raisingly dangerous things. Kate and even Hero-Father reach the end of their respective tethers here. This concludes Kate Scene I from Garcastle.
The other half of Kate's scene belongs after Bonecold Refugee's, and fixes the timing. If I really wanted to kaleidoscope this chapter, I could give viewpoint to Hero-Father instead. That might be taking things to the point of self-indulgence, though it would explain why the Event that gives the chapter its real title is intelligible to the person who perceives it. H'mm!
Ruddy long chapter, this is shaping up to be.
