I’m with Cegiel-FINALLLY! The only real problem here I imagine will be Mentl’s insecurities. Zona’s tribe has a long history of understanding magic being used to make “friends” / control people according to the history that Tula shared with us. I am betting that The Holy Trio of The Mother, The Shaman and Holy Priestess will have a way to check….BUT that it will NOT be cut-and-dried.

…Now that’s an interesting question. If they have to part ways for, oh, say, six months…does this count toward the silver chain path partnership parting-of-ways-for-six-months, or whichever one it was?

Well, I guess it’s time to separate the two main characters, as well as nerf Mentl’s enchanting towards Zona, and see if after all that’s done that their hearts stay where they are now.

Only then I believe any doubts will be erased. Of course this will fill many a moon and many a comic strip’s pages… ;2)

You Just have to know that in all this magical land scape there is a test for true love that can be administered by Tula any time Zona asks for one.
Though Zona probly does not want to know the truth right now since she is so sure of her love for Mentl. As the song goes “Tell me why cant”this be love.”

/I have a sneaking suspicion that when Tula finds out what’s going on, one of two things is going to happen: If Ipola & co. have been respectful of Mentl and are just trying to sort out what’s going on as carefully as possible, she’s probably just going to tell them to stop being rediculous and get down to helping him control his magick a little better. If, on the other hand, they’ve actually managed to trample on Mentl’s self-confidence and convince him that the only reason Zona loves him is because he’s enchanted her, I suspect that she’s going to blow a gasket or three, and probably with some considerable weight behind it given her position and power level. Plus, it’s quite possible that the fact that she’s watched their relationship blossom, both socially AND magickally, that she can prove how far off Ipola & co. are (at least I hope they are - all indications have been that Mentl and Zona’s relationship is NOT about magick - at least no more than any real love is).

Ipola may be Queen, but she’s not infallable - and if Zona hears about this and gets her blood up, there may be more than a balancing of cha to deal with…

Tula made her comment about Zona and Mentl's being balanced before she ever heard Mentl sing. While we're at it, it seems apparent Zona was affected by the song, but the obvious impact was to get her in the mood right then. I don't think it affected her long term feelings.

So cruel you are JED. You just might be cruel enough to make it that Zona was indeed enchanted, and that once the enchantment’s removed not only will she not love Mentl, but she’ll hate his guts for enchanting her!

But no, you wuoldn’t be THAT mean to your readers, would you? Would you? JED? Hello JED? Hello? Hello? Bueller? Oh crap….

Not much I can say here, that won’t be said tomorrow with the actual update. But don’t worry. Things are gonna be just fine, no problems, no conflicts, insecurities or any consequences whatsoever. Because this is a Disney book aimed at K-3rd graders, after all …

Wait. No, no. It isn’t that. Oh …

So maybe something will happen. Hmmm.

As usual, thanks for all the chatter. It assures me that Mentl and Zona’s story is at least interesting enough to keep your interest.

Zona is under a spell. The question is will it last and is it something that would have happened without the musical assist. I think it will survive the upcoming crisis of confidence. If not then lets get it over with.

But if Mentl IS accidentally enchanting Zona, what happens when the enchantment is removed? Will Zona still love him? THAT is the $10,000 question that will haunt Mentl from this point on until it’s resolved, one way or the other.
