Hey Mistress Elysia! Welcome to Scribbles, and thanks so much for posting your story! It's okay that you have links, although I'm afraid that might hinder as many people from reading your excellent work. If you want, you're welcome to copy/paste your chapters into separate posts. :D

Now, onto the story itself - I know I already left a comment on Fanfiction.net, but I felt it right to tell you how much I enjoyed the beginning of it here as well. :) I myself haven't played HoTU, although I know the general outline, but the way you write fills in all the right holes and makes the reading incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Again, I have to say I love your character portrayals and how real they seem, and I'm definitely looking forwards to reading more about them when time permits. :D

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

Thanks, Shadowhawke (and as I have said before, thank you so much for your lovely reviews on ff.net! :hug:) - I shall post the chapters up here slowly, if Queen Lucy lets me (she seems to have a 6th sense for when I want to write or draw, meaning as soon as I start doing so, she always wakes up / begins to cry / shouts for attention... :rolleyes: If she wasn't so damn cute... ^_^)

Eh, I think it's a mark of how much I love this story that I'm already rereading ^_^. Just thought I'd pop in to say that I do see your battle scenes as absolutely inspiring - I've always had a trouble with making my combat realistic and involving, and you manage to make it both, but also exciting, visceral, and insightful into the characters as well. :D

and as I have said before, thank you so much for your lovely reviews on ff.net! hug.gif)


Heh, don't be absurd. Every writer deserves reviews for all the time they put into crafting their stories. I should be thanking you for sharing this with us... :hug: I must admit, this story has definitely rocketed its way up to the top level of my favourites. ^_^

She does sound adorable. :D And don't worry about rushing and stressing yourself out, hm? Your health does take top priority. :hug:
