Bravo! That was splendid! Loved the last line! In fact, loved all of it! Great job!

[rickashay1]

Thank you so much! I've had such an odd weak, writing-wise, getting the feel for a villain really helps me just "get" it. ;) I am so happy you mentioned the last line, I was worried whether people would think I wouldn't need it, especially because I write Ryuukotsusei way too often for it to be normal. ;) Thank you so much for the compliments and it's always great seeing that you've replied. I keep rereading your reviews to my brother, he thinks you have a fantastic vocabulary.

Great prose. Love the dragon's reaction

Thank you for the compliment to the prose! I've been struggling to get my instinct to write it all flowery but I'm glad that you mentioned it. One of my favorite styles to explore. ;) The reaction was a bit odd, I kept thinking of how to make him reach a point to the breaking point. I'm writing an original story that is a bit similar to the idea of the Betrayal of the Clan series and exploring both sides is something that's been interesting me lately. Thank you so much for your compliment, it means a lot to me. :)

Very nicely written. You do such a great job with characters that are often overlooked or hardly mentioned.

Awww, thank you so much! These characters have come close to my heart recently, I always love the villain's, especially the smaller villains. The complexity of his insanity is one of my favorite things to write and read. Thank you so much for reading! I really appreciate it!
