I don't even know what to say. Great chapter yea, but horrible cliffhanger. Now I have to wait a entire month to find out what happened. That being said keep up the good writing.

Spoiler alert for those who have not read the chapter!!!

Any way Just wow... Of all your stuff this... I'm not worried over David because if you killed him now it wouldn't make any sense, however it does explain one of his readings. What I'm worried about now is the possibility that you may have killed off Jillia as its still possible that he was in the line of fire.

SlaveMaster:

Jailla landed on the parapet of the building, which puts him to the side of the rifle. It would be impossible for him to be in the line of fire. "This can safely be revealed as it is of no significance whatsoever." (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

I'm glad everyone loved my chapter ending so much... misch_smiley

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

Youch! You don't make it easy to wait another month, do you?!

Fenixreign · 2016-10-02 03:50:23

Please. It doesn't even seem like much of a cliffhanger based on the conversations from here and what we have been told. I mean, yeah it's "meta-gaming" but we know the series is projected at 8 books and the MC is kinda stuck. We haven't even seen him STABBED yet. NOTHING (that I remember) that would have physically altered him has really happened except bruising and even that was just him feeling pain. There were no spoken of ACTUALLY broken capillaries to cause the bruising. It's more llike magic says "Yeah you are stuck, but I KNOW when you should be broken so.... here's a shitton of pain so you remember it and because pain has a purpose in nature.

Eric Storm · 2016-10-02 05:28:47

Um...

Year 1: Fell off a rock lift 80 feet into a moat. Broke five bones in his legs.
Year 2: Stabbed by Rob Beckel at the criminal management facility. Left a wound.
Year 3: 3rd-degree burns from boiling oil dropped on him by Prof. Quayde. Left sufficient damage that Healer Hall would not allow him to touch anything.
Year 3: Suffered a gash on his face from fighting with Brent.
Year 5: When ambushed by Clan members in a hallway, David suffered four broken ribs, a broken arm, and a crack in his upper leg.

Clearly, David can be damaged, and seriously so. Hell, when he initially became a demighost, his body had to repair the damage done by his death. That didn't just instantly vanish. David is quite capable of being damaged, even catastrophically. Can David bruise? No, he cannot. Bruising requires blood, and he hasn't got any. A bruise is nothing more than the place where blood leaked out of blood vessels and "died", turning an ugly blue/black color. No blood, no bruise. To suggest that a high-speed bullet plowing through David's head isn't going to do anything to him is... ludicrous. I can absolutely guarantee you that, no matter what happened in the seconds after the end of Chapter 10, David is injured to some greater or lesser extent.

As to the series being 8 books long:
1. I could have lied to mess with everyone's head...
2. I could have changed my mind...
3. I have enough other characters that, should I feel the need, I could follow their lives as they recover from his destruction. This would be an especially interesting course, given the near future of Callamandia.

However, the point that I think a lot of people seem to be overlooking: Whatever has happened to David, there is actually a much more important question that has to be answered:

...

...

...

Did the KING survive?

Jennatalia · 2016-10-02 06:13:40

Fair point.

Money is on yes--but dies of injuries while being attended to by a healer which prompts an invasion from the north attacking Woodward which David takes up arms to defend while in ghost form.

riun · 2016-10-02 09:21:21

Option 5 Sadly David lost all of his memories being shot in the head. Just like Wolverine.

THE CLIFF!!! omergard the cliff! It's such a huge drop!

Eric you are so evil!

You forgot disintegrated by a dark wizard.

Fenixreign · 2016-10-02 13:12:46

So this post will contain spoilers:

Ok, so let me be honest here. Last night I was a LOT drunk and could barely remember my own name. Hell, I don't remember writing tha post. You are right, but to be honest, the death or survival of the King really doesn't matter to me because, while he seems a decent cat, he's just a side character at best and is more of a plot driver than anything. If he dies, more drama in the LBC. If he survives, more drama in the LBC. It is the plot against his life and the reasons behind it that matter moreso for the story (in my opinion) ultimately than his survival. Besides, between David and the helmet, the likelihood is that the bullet (even one from a high powered rifle) was caught. Hitting David in the head should have caused enough loss of energy (assuming the shot didn't come from the 50 .cal sniper rifle used for the world's record for distance for a confirmed sniper kill) that the balllistic helmet (which I am assuming is similar the the one the U.S. Army issues it's soldiers) would have been enough to trap the round on the backside of David's head.

Eric Storm · 2016-10-02 16:12:32

Zipybug: I didn't forget it. The effects of the disintegration spell never came to fruition, because David was turned into his ghost form. The time he spent in the infirmary was not for being disintegrated, but for smashing into the unbreakable window.

Fenixreign: But you hit on my point right off: The king is a plot driver. Whether or not he dies in the assassination attempt directly affects what happens next in Callamandia. (And just for the record, I had to go to the Urban Dictionary to figure out what the hell "LBC" was. Not being from California, I'm not familiar with their demilitarized zones.)

Okay was just thinking ( ya I know that's almost always a bad thing ) that some how the missing items are going to come into play against Callamandia's future. Also who the hell leaves a artifact with mind control powers under simple glass. The scroll that got stolen earlier in the series had way more protection and it was more or less a diary. Its also funny to think that nearly half of all wizards are from earth and no one took the time to show the army modern weapons.
