Thank you Erik
And it was worse than being pierced in the neck actually. She slowly bled/froze to death. Not pleasant. And she had to die in such a horrible way for it to seem like it was Ariks fault that she died (in his mind).
I'm working on the ideas for another story, I'll let you know when I start it.
If you're looking for something good to read, take a look at the Yanillian Library. There you can find the quick find codes to a good selection of the best stories in the forum (some of them anyway, I can only put up stories that people apply to submit).
wow, Ros*. at first i expected them to go out and "live happly ever after" but i sorta like the way you ended it, not happy. thats one of the sadder stories i have read in the forums. but bene!!
Thanks Bad Boy. There is sort of a melancholy feel to the story (or maybe I just imagined it while writing because I knew how it would end), but the ending really takes most people by surprise. I do sometimes have really predictible writing, but this time I wanted something different. And yes, I wanted to try being a little cruel by making it a really emotional ending.
