This piece was very interesting--not many stories mention the internet and dragons together. I liked the clash of modern and midevial. Nice perspective.

My apologies for taking so long to send you a review, but I felt I needed to with all your nice reviews for my story. It's been a while since I read this story, but I remember it being among my favorites because of the attuide and characteristcs that all the people in the story showed. Reminded me a lot of Ghost in the Shell. ^^

Anyways besides some problems with background knowledge this story was very entertaining, and thank you for giving fictionpress a story that will make it a classic among authors.

oh no, you killed them! :(

but then again, there is always hope. =) I would very much like to believe that Dr Kerner helped them escape. After all, I think they would trust him only, of all living humans.

But it is a good thing that Dr Russov was finally dead, I don't like that guy. In fact, I detest him intensely. *gr*

The paragraph on Ryth and Relaeth purring was quite confusing though. Who started purring first? I assume it should have been Relaeth, and then Ryth would be the one who relaxed. But then again, who's the premoult? Assuming it was Relaeth (no wings), then Ryth shouldn't have been so terrified of him.

Apart from that, everything is pretty clear. =)

Good that you ended it (despite the WAY you ended it)... this story was still best as a one-shot.

Very nice, I see that the story comes in full circle in the end.

Guess I see now that some of those scenes were from ancient times. Must've been a major dream ressructing the 'extinct' dragons like that, but guess time repeats itself in the end.

Still, doesn't seem if anyone knows if they're really gone for good..

Looks much deeper into the characters of the two dragon brothers, that's for sure. Seems both of them have had issues in the past...

poor Aeon. Looks like Russov still haunts him even after his death.

so - Relaeth only has artificial wings, but Aeon has natural ones. And with their appearance Aeon seems to have gone into a totally different state of mind and character entirely.

I assume part of it is due to his fear of Dr Russov's drug cocktail, but obviously some of it is actually natural to him. Perhaps some sort of genetic thing then... since Relaeth does not do such things. But then again it might be too early to tell.

The second half of the chapter appears to be set in a totally different time and place - rather like medieval times! But the relevance is definitely there. Aeon was right in stating that they were not the first. Ryth, obviously, was an earlier dragon. But apparently without wings, which is surprising.

I like Kerner. He is very cute, although he doesn't have many lines.

Relaeth himself is quite a character - gruff on the outside, he is actually quite emotional and feeling.

Dr Russov is, however... extremely creepy. I hope he is permanently dead.

The world you created is excellently described - while I initially had the feeling it was somewhat like the matrix, it's now slightly clearer towards the end that actually it is more of a state of mind, or an open network that sort of exists, powered by the nodes and such.

This is brilliant; and would is good even as a stand alone chapter.

Boo.

My my my, haven't we become quite the professional author! The descriptions, the plot, the character development, the action... it's all amazing! You've come such a far way since the last time we met!

This fiction had an almost Ghost-in-the-Shell feel for me, and I adored the way you seamlessly incorporated dragons into the tech era. Relaeth reminds of Calcifer's darker side. This is premium-quality fiction, no joke.

Keep it up, old friend.

I enjoyed that thoroughly. Characterisation was very well done, especially with Relaeth.
Not sure if it was an accident with the upload, but the paragraphs ran together in a way that made it very difficult to discern where one part ended and another began. It led to a bit of confusion.
I certainly like the techno-descriptions. Your ideas were very good indeed. Reminded me of Ghost In The Shell. Very inspired.
From time to time, it got a bit confusing where we were supposed to be. Perhaps some more setting and locations description would suffice.
The bonding between brothers was also quite sweet, a little emotion amids the techno-sterility (No part of that was a criticism, by the way!) and the end had a nice ring to it...
All in all, a very nice peice.

Quite a fascinating approach here with the technological dragons here!
