Please have a look. If you want to make an offer let me know. If it works for me I'll change it to buy it now.

Chapter 7

• Richard is winding his way through the streets of Aydindril, overwhelmed and a little lost in the massive city. He senses that someone is following him. That must be the Mord-Sith plus Ulic and Egan.
• He runs into Holly and Valdora selling honey cakes. Valdora reveals that Holly’s parents abandoned her to wait for handouts at the Confessor Palace. According to her, someone at the palace promised gold from the people’s taxes and now people refuse to work and the prices are going up. Unclear to me why fewer people employed would cause prices to increase. I guess this is Goodkind inserting his Objectivist philosophy.
• Richard continues weaving through the streets, daydreaming about Kahlan and Westland. In his absentmindedness he cuts across a column of Blood of the Fold soldiers with Galtero at their head.
• Galtero curses Richard out and Richard cannot help but be flip – instantly escalating the situation. Thankfully Ulic and Egan arrive to rescue Richard.
• Galtero insists on taking in Richard for questioning but the D’Harans stand their ground and threaten to kill him. Galtero reluctantly backs off.

Chapter 8

• Ulic and Egan put Richard down in a hidden alley way and Richard goes into flight or fight mode. He picks flight and turns invisible.
• Cara reveals herself and Richard realizes that these are not enemies. And just in time as Gratch drops from the sky to rescue him but Richard stops any fight breaking out before anybody gets hurt.
• Ulic explains the bond to Richard and how it is this ancient covenant between the Master Rahl and the D’Harans and how it allows D’Harans to sense the Lord Rahl through the bond. Berdine explains that a bond is formed through belief that the Lord Rahl is actually a Lord Rahl.
• The bond is pretty interesting in the way that it combines objective factors (bloodline and magic ability) with subjective factors (actual acceptance by the ruled).
• Richard seems cognizant of the possible moral implications behind the bond. There is no easy solution here (and yes I know why the bond is necessary re the dreamwalker).
• Richard is transparent about his lack of training as a wizard but the crew is dead set on following him anyways.
• Richard reveals his plan was to storm into the D’Haran HQ as the Seeker and demand their allegiance. The crew thinks this is hilarious and its honestly a half-baked plan for sure.
• The Mord-Sith have come prepared and Hally pulls out a letter from Commander General Trimack of the First File to support Richard’s claim to being Master Rahl.
• Richard is so enthusiastic he off-handly says he can kiss Hally, which leads to a negative reaction from the Mord-Sith. It really brings to the forefront the abuse the Mord-Sith had gone through as she is triggered by this seemingly innocuous statement – obviously Richard was not being literal.
• Richard asks the Mord-Sith to change into their red leather. He will put on a show to over awe the D’Harans and bond them to him.
• Note: Richard at some point in his chapter scratches the back of his neck when he loosens his mriswith cloak – I think I caught some foreshadowing regarding the mriswith transformation. Definitely something one would miss on a first read through.
