Luke better get used to pig’s blood. It’s the only blood he’ll be allowed to drink while at the castle.
Ah, Julian is finally mentioned by name. He was seen during the dream sequence in Chapter 5.
Rose started out as a random background character in Chapter 1; however, as I wrote about Bo’s past, this simple background character took on a personality all her own. I knew from the start that she would meet her end at the hands of Luke, but I underestimated how popular of character she would become. And she become a favorite character of mine, as well. I even entertained the idea of seeing her interacting with the others at the castle. But those moments had to remain as “wouldn’t it be interesting if” collage in my head. I had to stick to the story, and in the grand scheme of things, her death will mean much more than a simple “loose end”. As I mentioned before, this whole scene was originally part of another chapter (Chapter 20), but it never seemed to fit its narrative. So I ended up placing it here. It felt better to have it at the end of this chapter while the events were still fresh. Yes, Chapter 20. It seems like a long time away. But *if* I can get back to 2 pages a week (and perhaps 3 times a week someday), then Chapter 20 isn’t as far off.

Chapter 7 starts next week! :D Gotta keep this train a ‘rollin.
