Now why this took so long.
I went through FIVE versions of this one chapter. I had massive writer's block and I was hating everything I put out. After a few weeks of working on something else, I got over my writer's block, and got the chapter done.
Sneak peek...Subject to change due to editing.
Wind whistled, thunder cracked and rain hammered down on the platform just outside the door. In the mouth of the door stood Corvo, winded, out of magic power and ammunition. At the end of the platform stood the lord regent, who at the moment was holding a squirming Emily.
The assassin, overcome by the sight of Emily, began walking onto the platform, ignoring the shouts of the former spymaster.
“Stop right there Corvo! You had your chance to be a hero!”
The ex-protector, oblivious to the shouting, kept walking.
“In a minute, this will be just another bloody mess you’ve left behind!”
Corvo’s pace increased.
“You want your honor back? To save the lady in distress?! Oh no, Corvo, that’s not you!”
Just as the assassin passed the halfway point on the bridge, The spymaster, drunk on power, jumped off the platform.
the ex-protector broke out into a run, charging towards the end of the platform, and diving at the last second. He threw his hand over the ledge, but caught nothing but air. Emily and the Lord were already well on their way down the “cliff”. Though Corvo could no longer hear their screams, he knew what Emily was shouting.
He had failed her.

In my "down time" I wrote another story you can see here.
I will be writing another chapter for that story, before the next chapter of RA.
