Update

After some time with writer's block, I've picked up Merlin's Story again and am working at a good pace. As you can see by the new ticker, I have set my deadline for November 1, 2011. At first, does not seem very far in the future. Look again. That's one and a two thirds years from now. That gives me more than enough time to finish if I'm not lazy and encounter few problems to finish writing. I do not plan on being finished revising by then. If I am, I will be genuinely impressed by myself. If I do not reach my deadline, then I will simply set a new one for myself. Kind of defeats the purpose of the deadline, but I'm not just going to throw away Merlin's Story if I don't make it on time.

Below is the next chapter in Merlin's Story. Enjoy! Note: in the final document, Ambro's name has been changed to Ambrose, more reflecting his personality.
