At last, another installment, huzzah! You'd think after all my talk about trying to be more efficent in my writing, I'd be getting these out more frequently, right? <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="380" title=":( (Sad)"/> Still, hope you all enjoyed, despite the wait. As tough as this chapter was to write, I did have fun with it, as like Morrigan and Flemeth, Shale is one of those characters with such a distinctive voice and tone that she really writes herself. And yes, the Sagramor/Leliana pairing is definitely going to pick up as time progresses as well <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/><br /><br /> In addition to this chapter, I've also been working on a few short stories, including one for the current Collaboration Contest being run by <a target="_self" href="https://www.deviantart.com/the-bards-college" ><img class="avatar group" width="100" height="50" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/the-bards-college.png?5" alt=":iconthe-bards-college:" title="The-Bards-College" /></a>, so I'm going to try and get something else out for you guys by my birthday on the 15th. As ever, appreciate your support and patience, and let me know what you think!<br /><br /><b>First Chapter:</b> A Day for Celebration -&nbsp;<a href="https://thephoenixking.deviantart.com/art/The-Grey-Path-Chapter-One-A-Day-for-Celebration-311164927">The Grey Path - Chapter One: A Day for Celebration</a><br /><br /><b>Previous Chapter:</b> Fadewalker -&nbsp;<a href="https://thephoenixking.deviantart.com/art/The-Grey-Path-Chapter-Twenty-Three-711021789">The Grey Path - Chapter Twenty-Three</a><br /><br /><b>Next Chapter:</b> Truth and Reconciliation, Part One -&nbsp;<a href="https://www.deviantart.com/thephoenixking/art/The-Grey-Path-Chapter-Twenty-Five-Part-One-753850055">The Grey Path - Chapter Twenty-Five, Part One</a><br /><br />Preview image done by <a target="_self" href="https://www.deviantart.com/poly-m" ><img class="avatar" width="50" height="50" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/poly-m.gif?1" alt=":iconpoly-m:" title="poly-m" /></a> , used with her permission.
