Alderpod #18 – Chapter Sixteen: Tarnish
Back to the castle, and the doings of Sylvan and Ellinora (yes a chapter with two…two…TWO PoVs!). News of the dissolution of the Order of the Asp has arrived, and Libby is not happy. Meanwhile, Ellin meets the new Alderdaughters finally arrived from the Territories and beyond, and she even makes a little vialc-laced speech.
And even though Sylvan’s supposed to kill Ellin’s husband, it doesn’t quite turn out that way.
The music is all me, and again I’m turning to real instruments: i.e. my voice and my guitar. So, some harmonies, which I thought made sense considering all the gals in this particular chapter. I had a little trouble with this chapter, but after a ride this morning, and some editing, I’m happier. So, yay.
I’ve already recorded the next chapter, which picks back up with the Asp and Brick, and just have to add music.
And if I should a little more nasal than usual, don’t adjust your speakers. Lingering cold/allergies. Sometimes I just have to keep going, and hope you’ll forgive me!

Natania,
I’m really loving how the story is progressing; the intrigue, the different POVs, as well as the depth and distinction of and between the characters.
Love your harmonies and guitar! It creates a wonderful background and feel for the story, and is quite lovely on its own as well. Great work!

@Mary Laura Well thank you very much! I just released the next installment, and the *next* is in the can. Yay, I’m making progress. Hard to believe there’s only ten chapters left.
