The crew of the Fool's Gam8it engage in a firefight; Aurana attempts to regain her matesprit but the Grand Highblood is far from willing to surrender her easily.  Felida faces the consequences of a foolish gambit of her own...

Remember how I said all of these chapters starting with a 6 were going to be huge?  Yeah.  Action aplenty this time around and more than a few surprises!  This one was a toughie to write from an emotional standpoint but even it will pale compared to what's coming next. 

I'm heading out tornado chasing next week so the next upd8 should be on the 26th of May.  Hope you can hold out that long!  Just finished writing Chapter 67, BTW...
