Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I must say, this has been a great story. I am sad that it is over now, but I guess I overestimated its length-for some reason I expected it to go on for months, which was hardly reasonable ;) . Hard to beleive you added so many chapters in one day.

Anyway, I hope to see you write more stories in the future, and I would even like to see a continuation to this one some day. ^_^

You really are a writing genuis.

More Nildi!
I love his character.
And you do such a wonderful job with Zavistic too.


And I'm especially glad that you didn't make the walk from the inn to the wizard's guild only two minutes.

*Poke*

I finished it at last. Excellent work Dream, most excellent, I am very proud for having read this.

I look forward to your next story, as I'm sure the temptation of creating your 'soul tale' is beginning to strike.

For those of you who don't know what a 'soul tale' is, I will explain.

It is the one story, the one character, the one path you have deep inside of you, that you can always fall back on, always type and feel as if it truly is your best.

Mine will be the Tales of the EDOSTAR, beginning with First Blood.

Yours Dream?

Friendly bumpages are always useful - thanks Maia! And hooray for Maestros - I'll be keeping an eye out!

Hey Draken, thanks for your input. I'm glad you enjoyed the story :)

I don't know that I have a particular "soul story" really cemented into my psyche yet, though Nildi was a lot of fun to write about, and I'm quite convinced he'll be making an appearance again. But until he does, I am thinking idly about what it would take to get this tale closer to a point where I could consider sending it to publishers.

As I see it so far, though complete (in that it's written from start to finish), it is suffering from the "First Draft Blues." I would of course have to remove the references to Runescape and convert it to include wholly original characters in an original world of my own.

Then I'd be able to make a second draft, now that I know so much more about how the characters would act and develop through the events told so far. Nildi and Zavistic need to learn and change within themselves as a result of the events told.

As a stand-alone piece, it also lacks a fair bit in "scene-setting" background information and descriptions of the people and places involved because I relied on the readers' familiarity with most of the locations and so on. That of course gives me an opportunity to expand on the story with more color and artistic license.

So in short, this is not close to publishable as it stands. But it was a great way to improve my skills and have fun doing it!
