It's time. Shorter chapter, better author? Well, I also edited 4 chapters for Volume 1. (19,400 Words)

I’m not sure if what I do is lucid dreaming, I’m definitely aware I’m dreaming and it seems like I’m in control of what happens but if I “try” too hard then it wakes me up.
Thats normal for lucid dreaming
I'm a practicing biochemist and I can help you with the technical biology stuff. I'd be thrilled to know that I could contribute to my favorite epic fantasy in some small way!
Do you think what the other minds have done to her is reversible or has she been permanently altered as a result of her “core memories” so to speak being altered
Well the minds did get dark rather quickly
I knew something was about to go horribly wrong when they explained that you CAN in fact separate from the hivemind. I guess someone is about to get gobbled up.
I like Geneva but with where Erin's story is at, I was exceptionally averse to side stories getting in the way. Until I read it. This chapter was much more concise. In it, nothing went to waste. I highly approve. It made me forget that we weren't revelling in the next steps around TWI. p.s. While I can understand the desire to go back and rewrite the beginning of an already established story, that way lies madness. It's exceptionally difficult to mesh the two levels of writing skill without messing up the story as a whole. I've tried and then stopped because it was doing my head in.
I'm the same way with side stories and not just with the wandering inn. Though I liked this one more, it felt more directly connected to the main story. I think that's why the side story related chapters usually bother me a little, I like the characters, but there are times when I feel it would be more fun to hear about them from brief bits and pieces on the tv, rumors and stories that may or may not contradict. That's why Gravesong really worked for me.
Dayum. That ending gave me interlude - pisces vibes.
That ending I found to be so wrong. 3rd mind came up with it when she mentioned transplantation. After all of her accomplishments I think only 2nd and 6th mind would find what is being done to her as wrong. I think Niers is going to need to wipe this group out after rescuing her, and seeing if he can get her back to normal.
I think what is worst about the hive mind is memories are ever-changing and influenced but your mind knows something wrong... the editing being done to a person the gentle "corrections" to align with the goal n idea of their right or if possible backdoors put into a person to be a sleeper agent. brain stuff is terrifying possible I have no mouth but I must scream the return of the puppet what are poor girl gone through already once...
Mind reading has always terrified me, as the mind is the last bastion one can find true privacy in. To quote someone wiser than me "If Royalty ever finds a way to read a man's mind then peace is lost forever. Because a peasant can kneel in the mud so long as his thoughts are his own, for in his mind he's killed the king and sleep with the queen."
Thanks for the chapter! Honestly the Great Minds have always freaked me out, the most until the dead gods are all the souls. Specifically because of all the mind whammies and body snatching.
