On a more serious note, I think Laura making it through this chapter is about 50/50. Snowball's chance in hell that I going to try to repeat everything in this discussion, but I personally would like to see Laura develop and rekindle the relationship with keith, because I believe strongly in forgiveness. If I remember correctly she has spent 5 years- a quarter of her life, trying to attone for the mistake. I don't mind if she dies because I like Natani pretty well, but I won't be too pleased if it's anything short of heroism. Sorry in advance for all typos and grammatical errors. I'm tired and sick.
I'm not sure you can justify the statement that she's been trying to attone for the last five years. She followed Keith to Human lands, but then went home as soon as he went somewhere that it would have been really dangeorus for her to go. And she stayed home. For years. She only left to go find Keith again
about six months ago, roughly when Keith met Trace and decided to go home himself. That meant that Laura spent most of the last five years safely in her village, until the guilt for what she'd done became too much for her to bear. Though I'll freely admit, I'm not being particularly kind or forgiving to Laura. I'm firmly in Natani's camp. *wry grin*
