This chapter would have been posted sooner, but my computer seems to be barfing all over itself. In fact, as I type this, I can hear my hard drive rattling away like it’s going to try and take off helicopter style. What better way to spend a Saturday night that troubleshooting your own computer…
Anyway… One of my favorite places in the Tolkien books was Rivendale. A place of solitude where you could rest and recuperate without the intrusions of life barging in. The Village is my Rivendale.
Chapter Notes
In this chapter, we take one burden off of Rebecca. Not that makes her feel any better. However, we are in a place where she can take some time and recover. Things have been drastically unpleasant for the past few chapters. Now, perhaps, she can reflect and together with Silver Sky finally make some decisions that need to be made.
For the curious, the name Jomei comes from an ancient Japanese emperor with a flair for poetry. His reign only lasted 13 years, and he died fairly young. Our Jomei has some talents of his own, as we’ll find out. Hopefully, though, he’ll live to a good old age.
