Thank you so much! :)

If you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer or point you in the right direction.

The first half of the story follows two separate paths - the knights (Ski, Lyssa, Rune, etc) and the necromancers (Kairn, Sethan, Reida, etc) - you can pretty much follow either one separately - and then they get all tangled up with each other.

This was a fun piece, I think I will do a few more for the other MC's.

Ooh, again with the magic, I like it. It's cool how you partner Kairn's personal story together with revealing all the uses of sigils, and how he struggles to master it and where he's kind of led to with it. He is so lovable! Not in a condescending way, just a hugely sympathetic and relatable way. Excited to read more~

Thank you! :)

Kairn has gotten to be one of my favorite characters I've ever worked with. I give the poor guy so much crap, but he still keeps going.

I enjoyed this, and it makes for a good starting point. You mentioned up there you're going to do more of them; I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you! :)

okay so when I read the second to last one I was like :D :D

then I read the last one and was like O__O THE CREEPY STUFF IS BACK.

This is teasery, but at the same time it says a lot about your world/the necromancers. And I want to know what is going on in that pocky with Daliver!! IIRC, we saw that kind of glove used before and I can certainly guess what happened but...I still want to know more!

[shayna611]

Thanks! :)

You know me, I like to tease.

The Lyssa one was one of the last, if not the last one that I wrote. It was almost sort of an afterthought, like wait a minute, if I'm doing a Kairn montage, she'd better make at least a little appearance in it. And I had to end on the creepy, wouldn't be right otherwise.

I so need to work on Daliver. I seem to be making this habit of killing people off in pocky and then promising to get back to them. I don't suppose it's a good habit.

LOL! I like the hints and humour that run though this, especially Kairn's reaction to the sigil in Lyssa's blouse and the reanimated rat. Always nice to see more Kairn :)

Thank you! :)

I think I had the most fun with those parts too :)
