Well, damn. My whole review was lost again because of a glitch here...

I liked the chapter, although I have to admit that I really missed Baisyl and Kedean. Everybody seems to see that they are kind of perfect for each other, except of them. I am really eager to see how their relationship developes further after all the strange events that happend.
Back to the chapter: I loved Melsinna - strong, cruel to her foes and a protective mother. Great character and a woman that is standing proud...
And the chapter was a nice mixture of action, suggestion and revelation. It is strange that the little brother has a powerful magic seemingly unlike the normal one, while nobody has a clue that he has it. And the plan backfired a little bit, didn't it? Now it seems the main characters are scattered around the world.

Crossing my fingers that you find time to write and update the story soon...

Awesome!

I love how majestic Baisyl was in Kedean's eyes. It reminds me of many quotes about the Doctor from Doctor Who. All that power, comparable to fire and planets, and just... wow. Some people have the authority and power of Time Lords contained within their beings, even though they definitely aren't Time Lords. Anyway, wonderful elaboration on the magic of this world. I really have a sense of what it feels. Though I might like or lust after quite a few people, there's this feeling that you're the one and this magic is a manifestation of that concept.

I'm totally on Baisyl's side about pregnancy. I do not want to get pregnant, ever, and yeah... sex with men is not something I'll ever be having, for several reasons. So yeah... Kedean gotta learn self-control, even though the last line, often used when things are about to go wrong on FOP, indicates that Baisyl will get knocked up.

Great chapter!

Great story!

I'm realy enjoying your story. You write beutifuly and I simply adore Basyil and all his complexitys. I have particularaly been enjoying this story since the chapter that they jumped in to the sea. I like the visual image of Basyil leting the spell wash off him. Keep up the good work.

i think that teaser about not inpregnating basil at the end was the first time you've really mentioned the prophecies. I wonder why kadean hasn't thought on it some more. He thought it was all non sense but he has got to think that the first one came true and he knows someone with whom he could fulfill another, shouldn't he be thinking about why in God's green earth he may have to kill his own brother?

Although the previous chapter left me a little confused. So i'll probably have to reread the story from the beginning and see if i can figure things out on my own, if not i'll just ask you.

Sorry for not reviewing the last chapter: I was away from aff for awhile due to work. So I've just read both last chapters together, and loved them both very much. :)
Baisyl showed he could make even Kedean - obviously the most patient man in the world - snap. Good for him! And will you ever finish Kedean's tale? I've always loved fairytales and I'm left hanging here...
Also, Alroy has more secrets and could play a bigger role than I thought, but if he doesn't betray Rhyan (who's quite adorable) he's still good in my books, and apparently quite smitten with Zyric even though he's a flirt. And I really wonder what he knows about Kedean that the latter doesn't... Does it have to do with his ancestry too?
Rhyan seems to have the most magic out of all the Merseille brothers, but does that mean both his brothers have magic? And Baisyl seems to have more magic than expected if you count instictive magic. Actually, it seems that both Rhyan and Baisyl use more powerful magic drawn from emotions... Speaking of emotions, Baisyl was close to saying the l word at the end but I wonder how rubbish he really thinks this 'soulmates' thing is when it concerns Kedean. I liked that Baisyl's magic reacted favourably to Kedean and the latter could witness it too. How sweet.
Another thing: were the beasts who attacked Baisyl sent by the ship's captain or someone else? They were trying to kill him so it could mean that there's someone else after him. Poor Baisyl and Kedean - how will they ever reach their target safely under such difficult circumstances?
Now, will Baisyl jump Kedean in his female body after getting drunk...? And will Kedean impregnate him??
Thanks for sharing, I'll look forward to the next chapter of your fascinating story!

I was so excited to come online and see that you updated! I totally and truly love Baisyl's character--he's such a confident little flirt~ I can't wait for more; this happens to be one of my favorite slash stories on the whole wide interbwebz. Oh, and I'm sorry China sucked for you, but at least you got your money back! :/

Sorry your time in china turned out badly, but as a pick me up, this chapter was fantasic. I always get excited when you update. I just can't wait to see how the plot develops further. I absolutely loved the whole magic bit, the way you described it was awesome. The sparks were literally flying! I look forward to the next update! :D

I love this story... You know it would be all kinds of bizarre if he did happen to "impregnate" Baisyl...Eeeeuuuww!
However,I much prefer Baisyl as a man.
I'm+ sorry to hear that you had such a poor time in China. I'm glad you're home and hope that you're doing well.
