The Eternal Chain: Chapter 12 Draft 1

I've posted chapter 12 of the first draft of The Eternal Chain, and it can be found at the bottom of this page.

Again, this chapter is very similar to those that it is replacing in the original version of this story, but at the same time very different.  Where I played the capture of the main characters more for comedy in the original, here it's a lot darker and more serious.  People are not going to be cracking jokes while capturing the man they've been chasing for seven years because he slaughtered over two hundred of their fellow soldiers.  They're going to be openly hostile and murderous.  We're introduced to Tristam here, and he gives some subtle exposition.  I've also given you an extremely huge clue to a later plot point, but I'm not going to say what it is, or what it pertains to.
