Not that this is unusual but for the next couple months I don't want to skip updates but it's a really busy time for me so I might be, ehem, a little late like today, so I will say updates should just be sometime Wednesday-Thursday. Next chapter break I plan to take a little time to build up a buffer but I don't want to stop right now! We're almost there and for the moment it might be a little easier to draw because Casey's leaving the group and that should mean no group shots! Lets gooo!! XD ...not to spoil anything though, maybe I'm lying and there actually will be group shots, I'm not telling. :P

The others continue talking, Casey is about to take a step down the stairs but is suddenly pulled back. Willow's hand covers his mouth and she tells him, "I told you to come alone." She is frowning and asks, " Will you follow me quietly?" He nods his head nervously. She continues, "Then come on." and she roughly grabs his wrist. He looks back at where the rest of the group went to but makes no attempt to contact them. He gets dragged along with Mouse holding on tightly as Willow takes them back through Jaren's room, through some deserted corridors of the palace, then up some spiral stairs.
