Heh, the soul mark of Edwin sounds very, very much like him. Looking forwards to your next chapter :)


I thought it would be something he would like. Next chapter is up and running away!

Hey, it's 'Misery and Happiness'! I first came across this on gamejag.net, and really enjoyed reading the on going Anni-saga. I have a lot of catching up to do it seems, but it's nice to see you continuing it :) Good luck with it in the future.

Thanks! It's still on Gamejag but I brought it here too and finally caught it up to pace with the main site of the story.

Hey SaintZenn, I love your new background on Sendai here! Not only is it a good new chapter, it really fills out the character as well as giving a background to some of the minor characters from the game. Interesting work. :)

Through lightning, travel shadow,
Through hell and all above,
Surviving sword and arrow,
Bound stronger by the love

And in the end a witness,
To where the death has lain,
Silent through the sorrow,
Where innocents lie slain

Thank you! I really feel that some of the Bhaalspawn need better lives than they were given. Don't expect all of them to be so nice. :devil:

Whoah. Very nice twist near the end, SaintZenn. And the scene with Bhaal and all the others was strangely heartwarming too. ^_^

Looking forwards to seeing what will happen next to Anni, and how Minsc and Boo got involved.

You'll find Bhaal is very heartwarming when he wants to be. The taint unfortunately is not. But that's for later. :devil:

I love your writing style, SaintZenn. Everything is written in such a lyrical style. So, is Anni going to say 'yes'? I'm eager to find out.

Soft and beautiful new chapter ^_^. Can I really say more? The way you write Edwin is incredible.

Thanks, I try to balance his eviliness with his total awesomeness. :wub:

There will be more to come as you need to know Jessie's teenhood and stuff. Hope you like Boba!

The relationship between Valygar and his daughter was portrayed beautifully... with the part near the end being particularly foreboding. I'm eagerly looking forwards to more of this, SaintZenn :). You really manage to bring a nice touch to many characters from the games I'd never thought too much about.

I swear I should (and possibly will) kick myself silly for not posting sooner, but eh, anyway.

The new chapter looks wonderful, SaintZenn. :)

Got an intense feeling for what Jaheira was going through, the dream-like experience which tormented with her psyche and the fact her friends and husband were dead - very well executed. ^_^

I think the thing that hit me the hardest was to find Edwin Odesserion as the one she went to, quite the opposite to what you'd normally expect. :lol:

Anyway, I loved the new addition, and the take on Jaheira's inner thoughts - priceless.

Lovely new chapter. Can't wait to see what comes next. :)


One mistake, though:

Chapter 45: Goes together like a horse and carriage....


Above her beloved?s head, another head appeared, this one with shockingly white hair that had once been white. Something in his young life had scared the man until his hair turned white. He had survived but he still wasn?t as brave as her-



I think that second "white" was supposed to be something else, right?

A very powerful chapter SaintZenn... which only goes to show that hey, I don't think any of us can be the best writer in the world. But even then, you're still a very good one. :). The messages and the underlying meanings behind your story always shine through, and your latest portrayal of Jaheira and Edwin was intriguing.

Please do continue writing, SaintZenn. You're better at it than you think. :)

Writing should be fun. Don't worry so much about perfection/being the best. Focus on your own work and just enjoy the ride that is life.
