“What time is it?” said one woman in the Alliance of Light. “Early….not yet Dawn,” replied another. She said, “I dreamed I saw a great wave climbing over green lands and above the hills. I stood upon the brink. It was utterly dark in the abyss before my feet. A light shown behind me, but I could not turn. I could only stand there… waiting.” “Night changes many thoughts. Sleep. Sleep while you can,” her friend said. And she did sleep, as did the others. But when Dawn did arive, she was nowhere to be found. A quick search produced and expected result. She was dead. Her face, quite peaceful, looked as if she had been dreaming yet again, but this time \*\*Chronos is dead. He was Eowyn, member of the Alliance of Light. Eowyn was close with Aragorn and found his special items when Aragorn died, though she did know exactly how they could be used. \*\* It is now Day 7. Day 7 ends in 48 hours, ---

Farewell **Chronos**! A very short Day toDay. I’ve expressed suspicion of **Inner Stickler** , has anyone else got any other thoughts or suspicions? We’re missing a claim from **Doctor Who** , I think. ---

Dammit. As for who’s next, I’ve no idea. My scum detector is all wonky: for a while there, I was certain that \*\*Nanook \*\*and \*\*Pleonast \*\*were scum working together for mutual cred. Then I knew (I just knew, I tells ya) that \*\*MHaye \*\*was out to get us all. Clearly, none of those scenarios are correct. So I got nothin’. I’ll try to do a reread, though, to see if I can come up with anything. I do think it’s interesting that **Doctor Who** hasn’t claimed anything. I was also rather nonplussed by **USCDiver** ’s claim of Gamling - I had no idea who that was and had to look it up. But we also had Treebeard in the game earlier, so perhaps it’s not so far-fetched.
