This story is starting to grow on me. I expected the twists, but not gnarled this way. It sets up an interesting conclusion.

"I was in a world without Calcinia. It was a world of subdued colors and meaningless sounds."
Petrefax has it bad. By IT, I mean lovesickness. Poor guy. He survives the bridge collapse but makes a poor deal in order to find Quonce. In the meantime Calcinia and Raven head to the capital to try plead their case, running into all kinds of red tape commonly employed by those in power and bureaucrats to deny justice to the weak and poor. How very typical.
I must say, this has gotten a little more exciting, although the frustration level is rising because I am one of those that does not deal well with injustice. Hoping for a good conclusion.

Another excellent installment, with a giant cliffhanger ending...
