Yay! You started writing on this again! I love this, but I had to reread everything again because its been so long since your last post.
This chapter was really good, but I can't believe Deka left Rigel like that...I mean didn't he pass out when Deka was still there and there was still some sunlight out?

This is a great story, your plot and characters are developed very well.
You manage to keep the reader's attention with details of action, information, and about every thing else.
I hope you continue to write this wonderful story, I would hate not to read the end.

O, creepy. Poor guy, that must have been unpleasant. Interesting, but unpleasant.
We finally have a clue to the title! Yay! I always love finding out what titles are supposed to mean when it's not obvious. It's just fun.
Keep it up! Description is as good as always, and the dialogue between Rigel and the hidden entity is well done. I'm curious to find out whether Deka really left or not, too. Only one grammar mistake, and that was early on in Deka's dialogue.
"I was never meant to supposed to..."
You can take out one of those, one's good enough. ^_^()
Waiting on more with eager brain! ^_^

Just like a dog, eh? :P
That's a really neat concept for training the senses. It would probably work in reality, too. Neat stuff. :)
I'm glad you're writing again. I've missed seeing this be updated frequently. I hope you won't keep us in the dark for too long after this; it was a pretty short chapter, and I'm wanting more. ^_^()
I think there are a few places where you're either missing words, or have extra words. I think you meant "trained to BE the best they could be", as well as "he didn't think HE ever would." You also repeated "I'm supposed" in a part of Rigel's dialogue.
We want more story, but don't rush! Always take time to get those little mistakes fixed. It makes a good story that much better. :)

OO, nice twist. I didn't see that one coming.

Couple grammar notes: you have "please" instead of "pleasure" in the first paragraph. Also, the long paragraph right before the last dialogue could use a comma in the last sentence. It's a bit run-on, I had to read it twice before it made sense.

I like your names of characters. They're not overly complicated, yet they sound like fantasy names. I just thought I should add that. :)

this is a great story so far. i haven't finished it yet but i will. I like the anti religion stuff it makes the story more realistic and interesting. keep updating

Oh my gosh! That locksmith stole the maps! OH, I hope he gets whats coming to him.

The chapter was a little short, but again it was good. There was also great detail too, keep up the excellent work!

Hm, interesting development. I keep seeing subtle signs of possible magic, though nothing obvious or even partially hidden. Nice.

I also like how you're revealing the ways of the world to Rigel, and we're seeing things through his eyes in the description. We learn as he does. It's a good technique. :)

You have an extra word in the fourth paragraph, when Deka's speaking. Other than that, this is flawless, grammar-wise.

I love how you have the accents, it makes it so much more real. I'm actually anticipating each chapter. Keep writing!

Rather foreboding, that Rigel would need a bodyguard just to walk into a city. Nice suspense tool. I like. :)

No spelling mistakes, but I caught a grammatical one.

"One, however, was missing their blade."

Change the "their" to "his". It is only one person, after all. You don't say "He is missing their blade." ^_^()

Sorry for nitpicking. *cough*

What's nice about this chapter is that this is informative without being as direct as the fifth chapter. The information is interesting, and helps the story, but you might have wanted to put that in a prologue instead of the middle of the story. Just a suggestion.

I still love your ideas and how you portray them! Don't think I don't! Keep writing! :)

That information adds a lot of color to the story. I liked it.

Wow.

Other than a few scattered typos, this is fantastic. I love your description, your originality, your combining magic and science and different technologies. Wow. I'm not sure where you're going on the topic of religion here, but that's good sign. Keep surprising the reader! :)

Either way, I can completely relate to the theme of opposing religion, and having difficult choices to make while doing so. Though this isn't a part of the story I'm writing right now, it will be in several stories I plan on writing someday. Please keep writing this, I'm eager to know what happens now.

Ohh, so are all of his companions dead now? I hope not. Hmm, maybe they are just really hurt and they will come back in later chapters. Ohh, now I wasnt to read future chapters more to see what happens!

Oh yeah, the first sentence kinda threw me, I think you left out a word: "In the days that followed, Rigel with his new companions." yeah...just sounded weird.

Another good chapter, but as I was reading it, all I was thinking was 'add more personality traits and detail.' But it was a good chapter.

Heh heh. Looking back, I must agree, Lielay. I edited it to try to make it a little more believable. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hm, the boy seems quite eager to follow this guy who was just about to have him killed. I didn't like that part in the chapter.
