    • Yeah I am not surprised Cody knows, I guess it should be more surprising that Kayda and Tansy thought it would work on him

    • After rereading this (and knowing the stories of Lanie's survival {The Haunting of Jennifer Kelly}) I'm left with three unanswered questions...
    1) Where is Kodiak!?
    2) Where is Grizzly!?
    3) Where is Mustang!?
    Oh and probably #4 How did Kayda pull this off without all three of the above raising unholy ned!?!

    • Makes me begin to dread the reunion, more and more, every time.

    Wyatt sees the brighter side, in what Kayda and Lanie saw in Tansy, but the hurt will only get so, so much worse. The dagger in his heart now, will become a horrible spiral of guilt, fear, shame, and who knows what else once the children find out. If they find out.

    I can only imagine at this point, how gut wrenching the next few segments will be for everyone involved, and for the readers. Or the author for that matter.

    He says he got over it. I struggle to believe him, once the all the gears being put in place begin to turn.

    Tears And Fears Part One wrote: The twins looked at each other, then back at their father. "Dad?" Junior asked carefully.

    The big Alaskan worked his mouth for a moment as if trying to chew the right words out by taste. Then the air shimmered next to him and the room was suddenly crowded by the massive form of his spirit. "You both know Kodiak," he said evenly. "You understand he is my spirit and lives within me."

    The twins nodded.

    The Kodiak vanished again, but only to the Astral Plane where he stood dourly behind his host and Wyatt placed his hands on the table and leaned forward.

    The Haunting of Jennifer Kelly Part One wrote: The woman who looked like Elaine Cody stopped by the cordoned off access point to a side tunnel of Kane Three Twenty One and stared at the last known location of so many friends, mentors and surrogate parents. The woman who had saved her life had lost hers somewhere down this tunnel and into the darkness, but no! She wouldn't think that, she couldn't think that. Somewhere, some how, Elizabeth Carson was alive and needed help and the woman who called herself Elaine Cody wanted desperately to find out how to help her.

    Staring at it won't bring her back, Grizzly whispered in her ear, ever practical. Tansy sighed in frustration.

    He's now teaching at Whateley Academy.

    Wyatt then looked her deeply in the eyes. "But even the strongest oak breaks if the wind is too fierce, and the wind's been blowing pretty hard in your life. I've got a bit of knowledge and experience at being a windbreak, someone to listen to you without giving a damn about anything else."


    If you mean The Kodiak?

    Not far.

    *Not quite the same, not quite the same, I'm sure. At least I only had to deal with one overbearing royal, who needed a paw slap on occasion.* the spirit of Kodiak rumbled back.

    • Is Wyatt underestimating himself? Is he doubting his own ability to help Tansy with her own grief? It just seemed kind of off to me that in this story he talks about people underestimating him and trying to help the students out of their own self imposed prisons. Yet here he is neglecting the walls he himself has built. And maybe he has tried to help Tansy come out from behind the "Lanie" mask only to get shut down. Very interesting stuff happening between his ears...

    If I recall correctly there is an out-standing debt that remains to be paid, even though the terms of the deal have been modified by first, second, and third parties. I'll be interested in seeing if the creditor ever gets paid on that score... Which brings us back to Mustang, who strikes me as the sort to (very reluctantly) decide that if someone needs to be the adult in this relationship mess it might as well be him.
