Look, it’s a travelogue chapter! Yep, that’s what Chapter 15 turned into. Strangely, that made it harder to write.
Anyway, Shade is in the place where so many of his questions will be answered, and he’s about to receive the quest that will take him to the end of the story. Kellis can catch up in her own time. For Chapter 16, we’ll start with a lot more scenery, I think, but that should go away at about the halfway mark, when the plot comes barging in. And speaking of halfway, I think I’ve crossed that mark now.
