65. Scrim at Large
In drawing all the threads together, I’ll be hopping from one to the other of the main characters, while also attempting to set the different groups on their subsequent life paths and leaving no threads dangling.

Lodestar 64, Ahni & Kes
Here’s about half a chapter’s worth … Ahni’s and Kes’s ongoing journey, which I’m taking into a fog of indecision, it feels like. I’m forging into new territory and I have an inkling that I should’ve perhaps forwarded a few other characters onto the scene before further progress by these two.
This is one problem with publishing while writing. Times like these I wonder whether Charles Dickens ever ran into similar troubles. He also published serially, chapters in a monthly magazine.
Lodestar 63, Ahni & Kestrel
Lodestar 62, Kestrel & Ahni
Here’s where we switch back to Kestrel’s and Ahni’s stories. Ahni rides a camel, blind-folded in front of Lyris, who is getting paid to take Ahni through the Party Dome. This a short chapter … let me know if the switchover from Ahni’s POV to Kes’s POV makes sense and is not too disruptive?
Why The World No Longer Makes Sense

About five years ago, I reworked what would’ve been the next couple of chapters to submit to Worldbuilding Magazine, for an installment they were running on relationships, V3I3: Gender & Relationships
Since I was extracting the story from an ongoing Lodestar Saga and wanted eventually to be able to come back to it—as I am doing now—I changed Srese’s name and backstory. But, although she is called Kate in this chapter and has a whole different history, she is still Srese. As you will see.
Scrim’s parts in the whole deal have not changed, and that part of his life–as it is described here–fits in well with what’s coming for him.
Enjoy!
