Chapter 10 is available. Let me know what you think.
For obvious reasons, it has some fairly strong religious overtones, you might say...

I hadn't noticed...
Question:
Can a non-mage really distinguish between an actualy divine visit and an illusion by a powerful mage?
My own views on the matter are somewhat similar to Kevin's, but...
Does a personal divine visit not impair my free will. Is it still free will if God commands me to use my brain? _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

I see it as being a difference in the feel of the power. You can sense the power, but all magic seems to start from within the mage, so there is a feeling of that person, of mortality (yes, even if the person has mystically granted themselves immortality) when you sense that magic.
Divine power, on the other paw, comes from withOUT; from somewhere outside the mage (cleric). The individual channels the power granted them to the purpose at hand. The feeling of OTHER is noticeable.

Good question. I see it as having free will until the point where God tells you exactly what to think. You're not being told what conclusion you need to come to, so I see it as still being under your control - hence, free will.

Understood. Brittany is, at best, a supporting character. Others may show up, but...

Okay, people!
Remember how I was holding a contest for Chapter 11? Well, the Chapter is now posted at kinsfire.net!
Go there, and then come back and tell me who wrote it! (There's a couple of people out there with the info to know - please don't answer it yet...)
I'll let you know on Friday who the winning author was. (And the other one and a half writers? Don't worry - you suggested things that'll show up as well.) _________________ That which does not kill me probably hurt like a sonuvabitch. |

I gots to admit, I dunno... but I like, yes indeedie, I like.
Hm. I'll hazard a guess. Cateagle. But I'll hold off on saying just why I suspect my fellow feline for the moment...
Of course, this could just be a bluff... Thought I'd get that said before someone accused me of it... _________________ Galadrion - Member of the Longbottom 3. |

That was a pretty good chapter.
Unfortunately, I have no idea who wrote it. _________________ I'm a nut, but there are those who appreciate me for it. |

Soooo... when do we find out who wrote it, Kinsfire? Inquiring minds want to know! Ah, well, I'll probably find out when I get back. If you've announced it by then. _________________ Galadrion - Member of the Longbottom 3. |

Well, it's now Firday, and I said that I'd tell everyone who wrote it.
Galadrion came the closest. (Then again, he was the only guesser. ) He had part of the name right.
It was Catspaw who wrote it. _________________ That which does not kill me probably hurt like a sonuvabitch. |
