Wow, Slay, that was an incredible chapter. I could not put it down, in the sense of the metaphor. Excellent work, and great to see that this still has momentum.

Of course, the perfectionist in me could not go without pointing out that there were a few spelling errors. The only one that really stuck in my mind, though, was: "Galleons of blood had been spilled," which should be "Gallons of blood had been spilled."

Keep up the good work!
