This is actually beautiful. You are too talented, it hurts.

XoXo

I'm glad to hear you'll be working on Haunted City soon (I noticed the second chapter was missing). I wasn't too interested in the summary for this one, but because I've come to see you as pretty amazing, I gave it a chance. I'm very intrigued. Your characters (and by extension, you) are quite intelligent. I'm enjoying it a lot. I feel so sorry for our Dragon here. Looking forward to more!

Cheers,

i love azi ^w^ keep up the great work

uh oh, Greg better watch out. Azi and Owen have such a quirky relationship at the moment, love reading about it. Hope you update soon, I'm really getting into this story :D

OK now you have to tell me if it was Azi who made the earth rumble or if it was someone/thing else? I'm loving the story so far. Like all your stories the characters are often complex and you write the way they think and how they come to conclusion or action. It's fun to see how they adjust to certain events. Thanks for the update!

Update soon please!!

I love how he could either be a crazy old guy, or an actual dragon, your writing style is fantastic!!! And if you are looking at requests...I think it would be awesome if he still had power left and finally snapped and tried to "own" Owen...or maybe a backstory on his past treasure and how it/he was taken.

Oh my. I am quite happy to have happened upon this piece. The premise alone is fascinating, then when you add onto that brilliant characters and compelling writing, there was no chance I could escape without falling in love with this story! It's greatly satisfying to have something that sprung up from a writing prompt or drabble to gain shape and turn into a worthwhile effort. Azi is fascinating and memorable character, and you've portrayed him with just the right mix of restrained power and frailty. I simply have to have more of this story.

As far as possible suggestions for future chapters, I want to see Azi slowly recovering some of his power, and have it subtly influence his surroundings; just small inexplicable things, that Owen notices, and point to Azi's true nature. I'd like to see Owen's assumptions erode, and turn into something more like awe.

Regardless of what you do, I am definitely waiting eagerly to read more. Keep up the great work!

Love it. And I learned things. Really interesting about that Revolutions quote, and now I'm curious about Anaximander. I've never read of him before (to my knowledge anyways, was kind of drinking my way through my ancient phil course, rather than absorbing anything, but yada yada). So dragons are not moral relativists (at least in their rationalistion, instincts aside) but they (at least azi) believes (or least, finds the concept interesting in relation to their experiences) in this aperion? Kind of a version of monism then, like everything in the end is formed of itself, this concept of the Universe. And I found it very interesting that you then had azi go from that to the asking about the origination of that Universe, and therefore everything. Sort of reminds me of someone i've read about recently, F.H. Bradley, who used that monist view of metaphysics to justify the necessity of a religion. Bradley (though maybs you already know this, and have different opinions) believed in this idea of the Absolute (sounds essentially the same as anximander's Universe), and argued (roughly) that since everything is this Absolute, and that our thoughts must derive from the Absolute, but are obviously limited and not aware of everything, this limitation, this individual intepretation of everything, illustrates God. Most of his concerns are epistemic, rather than metaphysical, but still think it's interesting to consider. (interesting points from sep, 'Bradley's answer is that we cannot understand this in detail, but can get some grasp on what he means by considering a pre-conceptual state of immediate experience in which there are differences but no separations, a state from which our familiar, cognitive, adult human consciousness arises by imposing conceptual distinctions upon the differences. Reality is like this primitive state, but not exactly like, for it transcends thought rather than falls short of it, and everything, even conceptual thought itself, is included in one comprehensive and harmonious whole'....thought this sounds like Anaximander's defining reality as existing between elements that seem to be opposing, light and dark, hot and cold... and, just thought of this...that reasonates really well with eliot's the hollow men, last section. Bet eliot would have been interested in anaximander, he was hugely influenced by bradley).

kgjhkjgh...sorry to ramble at you. Point of (in seinfeld imitation) 'all of that' was, really, just to illustrate how engaging I find this story. Honestly, the sharp little scenes, snippets of well-crafted dialogue/action, interspesed with snippets of mediative thoughts, make it flow beautifully. Tbh, think (in terms of writing, and that surrealistic attention to detail), this is my favourite story of yours.

Hi, Just thought i'd jot a quick note to let you know I'm reading and following the story. (I'm a serial lurker but thought it was about timeI left a reveiw).
Wasn't real into the story after the first chapter, but since the second chapter its really drawn me in. I really like the idea that the dragons treasure is a person; and the pet name is cute.
I like Birdbrain too, reminds me of when I had a crow (I was taking care of this injured one)and for rather noisey, messy carion eaters they have a rather scarey sort of intelligance.
Anyway thanks for the update...

YAYYY! Thank you for updating pretty damn soon! I am luvin this lots so far xD Awww, feel bad for Azi since Owen has Greg as a bf. I wonder if he'll REALLY kill him or hurt him in any way! Anyways, please update asap!
