Exile Chapter 3 rewrite

I've finished the second draft of Exile Chapter 3 and it can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Not much really changed in this chapter, mostly it was just rearranging the wording of sentances and paragraph structure. Generally I just went through and started ore paragraphs/sentences with action words, and made everything more coherrant.

Also, one thing to note is that this chapter takes place 14 years after the chapter before it. I've used a common, recurring event to bridge the space between them. That way, even though it's been 14 years, and clearly so, it still seems like it's the same night. Sneeeeeeeaky.

The first draft ended at 117,352 words.
The second draft is currently at 121,608 words.

The second draft may end up at half again the length of the first at this rate. There are still a few chapters that don't even exist in the first draft I plan to add (including the next chapter), as well as several things that need a heck of a lot of fleshing out later on.
