Okay, now I'm recovering from my unfortunate mental health hiccup I should get back to posting Lawgiver's Blade in the New Year.
I think on a more manageable Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule.
But I was halfway through Chapter Four when everything fell apart.
Should I:
1. Pick up where I left off
2. Start again at the start of Chapter 4 with links to the archive for 1-3
3. Start again from scratch?
“The staff can,” Kadria said. “It's a way of helping people back into harmony. What I did with it during the invasion is not its primary purpose.” She smirked and held it out to Mayin. “Would you like to test it?”
Mayin bit her lip but her eyes were curious. “Is it really allowed for a peasant to...”
“Yes, of course,” Kadria said.
Mayin reached out hesitantly and touched the staff. After a moment her eyes widened and she sank to her knees. “Ugh.”
Tamasa's eyes widened. “The Staff of the Law? Isn't that overkill? Natlin's a peasant woman not an invading Arissi army.”
“I know,” Kadria said. “So I don't expect her head to explode or anything so dramatic. I'm not planning to call the Lawgver's judgement down on her unless she forces me to. I just intend to connect her to him and let him explain it to her”
“A good question. I don't like punishing heretics unless they are actually doing harm rather than just believing wrong things. But this… I think she is doing harm if she's making people question their own value in Rindalam's eyes.” She whiispered something else under her breath and a small wooden staff appeared in her hands. "I may have to use this."
