alright back from my meeting which i fell asleep almost half way through it. so i was able to read some chapters and it kinda perked up a bit from the boring slump. so Athos and his son Roaul (yeah i found out he Athos son) they are going to the jail where the prisoner is being moved they are walking and they see a old silver platter with a message saying carved in saying: "I am the brother of the king of France- a prisoner today- a madman tomorrow. French gentlemen and Christians, pray to God for the soul and the reason of the son of your masters." so they start to read it and they here a cry coming from a tower and they hit the deck as a musket barrel shoots at them and the bullet embeds itself in a rock six inches away. Right there i was like... WOAH. one minute observing a suspicious plate the next people are shooting at you. so apparently the warden is supposed to shoot any one who comes in contact with the prisoner. D'Artagnan mediates and they go on into the prison with the warden. as they hide in the shadows the prisoner is taken into the prison and Athos gets a glimpse of him. a man dressed in all black and a iron mask over his face. Now we get to the whole title reference. That's all i read so far. i really think that the author puts in seamless boring bits into the story to put the reader at ease so he can later surprise them with a twist in the story or a bit of action. it made me want to read over it just so i knew what just happened. now i really want to finish this book even more. the story gets better and better. increasing intensity as well as suspicion and mystery. some of the questions that come to mind right now are: What happened to Aramis? Will Athos and his son join with the conspiracy? will D'Artagnan join as well? what am i gonna have for breakfast tomorrow? hopefully i can get some of these questions answered soon especially the last one... breakfast is the most important meal of the day. well its off to bed with me i am so tired but then i remember that i have to wake up at 5 o'clock tomorrow. oh well goodnight world Peace.

by the way that is supposed to be Athos tried to leave with a little humor today... sorry no article link today. :(
