One chapter to go! A little over six pages in the next-to-last chapter. I could probably have made it longer, and it may grow on revision, but I found a good puncuation point for the chapter. We'll see how it reads. One chapter left. Their goal, the Eyrie is before them. This will be a triumphant chapter but a bittersweet one as well. Jael returning to her duty means parting from Jacob.
Believe it or not, I'm still toying with what the Great Eyrie should look like. My first thought was 'grand and magnificent'. Then I considered a mostly-subterranean network of tunnels with just a few sturdy buildings. I'm not sure what I'll go with. A vast mansion would be more impressive but humbler accommodation might signal that the life of a Rider is not as glamorous as Jacob thought it would be. That's a theme I have planned for the second book. Or maybe the view is magnificent but the rest of it is spartan.
No matter what, this should be a cathartic chapter. Glory and honor and fame for Jacob. Healing and a return to her family for Jael. But behind that, the sadness of two people who love each other, parting.
