I'm thinking of updating once a week, what do you guys think?
Anyway to the story update...
Four Stones
Cadoc was plagued by questions. "But how? And why? And what, precisely, will they become?" His master laughed as he turned back toward Cadoc. "All in good time my friend all in good time. First you must listen." Cadoc frowned "Listen to what?" "Why to the stones of course. What else? You must listen to them before we, you, can work with them." He picked up the river rock "We will start with this one. Turn it over in your hands feel every facet, every bump. Remember it." He handed Cadoc the stone.
Cadoc turned the stone in his hands over and over, scrutinizing it, memorizing, with his eyes and his fingers every detail. Very slowly he began to hear the soft trickling of a creek. Slowly ever so slowly the sound grew into the loud roar of river rapids. Then slowly the sound subsided into nothing. Cadoc let out a slow breath as he set the stone reverently back on the table. This was no plain river rock. "You heard it didn't you?" the old man asked, voice hushed. Cadoc nodded, dumbstruck. There was a long pause as the old man looked at the stones for a few minutes. Finally he picked up the quartz. "This one next."

AND that's all until you guys decide whether it's weekly updates or not. If not I'll promptly post the rest of what I have. If so I'll post the rest next week. BUT you'll be guaranteed weekly updates. It's your choice.

I don't know, I kind of like being able to read it all once it's finished. When Crystal wrote her book, I read it every chapter or so, and by the time I finished it, I couldn't remember what happened at the beginning. But I am up for anything! :)
