A new - and longer - part!  Mostly what I thought it would be though the muse gave me some additional things as I pondered that I hope work okay.  Not sure if I'm happy with the end of it, but I'm still uncertain about how these two characters would interact.  Maybe they'll talk to me later for future parts of this saga....

....And *only* a year later, I get a new part to writing exercise (HA!) finally written.

Just discovered music by a company called Two Steps From Hell via a youtube video.  Admittedly a unique name, so I searched it out and found their website (http://www.twostepsfromhell.com/) which told me they write movie trailer music.  Squee!  *And* they have one album out available for purchase called "Invincible" via iTunes.  More squee!!  So, of course, I'm purchasing (right now as I type).  Yummy lovely movie music.  Can never get enough.
