This is a wonderful gift. I remember when I first posted this story, I invited someone to write the Dark Side version, because I had no idea how that would work, and I really wanted to know. And here you've gone and created it! *dances*

Darius is the perfect choice for Kronos' guide. The antagonistic interaction between them is completely different than the original characters, but the format and the FEEL of the story exactly mirrors the original. All those empty landscapes.

Kronos has is larger than life, even in death, just as he should be. I loved the way he immediately wanted to find and punish Methos, and his astonishment that Methos had won, and survived. The verbal intimidation and the way he grasps control of the landscape are exactly in character. I hadn't realized until I read this how strong his desire for slaves, victims, an audience, might be.

Darius's smile is a little less beatific, hinting of a man who has valued conquering and is not disappointed by the outcome of Kronos's fight. Oooooh, very nicely done.

This was great! I really enjoyed it and have always liked a well written Kronos story. It fits the bill on all counts.

Many thanks to keerawa for pointing me in your direction.
