All right, ladies. Time to head into the last section of chapters in this book. What do you say we spice things up a bit?
Also, I should warn you, this is the longest chapter I have ever written.
COME ON YOU TWO! SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF THERE!
Okay Linus, now I’m mad.
I KNEW IT! I knew he was going to try to convince Alan to go back to magic, I just didn’t know why, or that it was such a big deal!
You have me a little panicked and thoroughly intrigued.You foretold this well and set the stage in a solid and intriguing way. Well done on that!
Oh man, I can see where this is going. I don’t think Alan will do it, but that’s going to lead to some pretty awesome scenes. After all, he’s not tasted much of “the cost” that your book is titled.
Oh I’m really liking this now!
Man is born for the fight, to be forged and molded into a sharper, finer, stronger image of God
btw, why isn’t the new Alan in your art collection?!?

I do what I can. *smiles smugly*

Thank you! Some of the things in this chapter actually snapped into place as I was reading it. Like when you make a jigsaw puzzle and after hours of staring at it, you suddenly realize you can put several pieces together. I forgot to warn everyone, but if you look back at Cyrus’s character earlier on, you may see some contradictions, because I didn’t fully understand him then.
(The funny thing after I made this realization about Cyrus’s motives is the very next day I was watching an episode of some show, and a character in there did something very similar to Cyrus. I won’t say what the show was and definitely not what the episode was because the similarities didn’t end there and you might be able to use that to guess what will happen next. I’m still going with this though because there are still differences.)
Oh man, I can see where this is going. I don’t think Alan will do it, but that’s going to lead to some pretty awesome scenes. After all, he’s not tasted much of “the cost” that your book is titled.
So what do you think ‘the cost’ is? (I am not going to make any response to your answer whatsoever no matter how close or far away your guess is. I just want to know what your prediction is.)
Oh I’m really liking this now!
Thank you! I’m glad to hear that! I’m hoping that as we go through the climax, you will continue to find it interesting. But ultimately, I hope this will glorify God.

I forgot to upload it, but that is done now. Thank you for reminding me.
well, I feel like Alan’s choice to A.) step away from magic, and B.) (the most important thing) follow God, (the Saviour) has been fair sailing. What did it cost him? Things are a little tense with Tyn, but that’s always been the case for one reason or the other. He hasn’t lost friends, he hasn’t lost freedom, he hasn’t lost respect, (he never had any in the eyes of the army to start with), and he certainly hasn’t gone through any physical abuse or had his life threatened in any significant way. However, he gained a community of people who love and even respect him, he gained his father, and he’s got a pretty nice stress-free environment. And of course he now has spiritual life, freedom, and salvation. He gained in just about every way possible, and lost nothing that really matters. So far being a believer has been nothing but fine sailing.
so, the non roundabout answer to your questions is I don’t know what’s going to happen, but being a Christian needs to start hurting. So far Alan hasn’t had to take up his cross, and I want to see that happening.
I hope he gets captured and won’t comply with the king, and then the king loses his temper and things go down hill for Alan, but really anything would be good so long as Alan comes to understand that there is a cost to following his Savior.Man is born for the fight, to be forged and molded into a sharper, finer, stronger image of God
