abuseI'm definitely very interested to find out what you've got planned for this incredible setting you've created! So many stories on here - esp horror ones - just jump right in with the 'scary' parts without bothering to develop anything before or after and it's such a turn off. I admire the pace you've chosen; it shows that there is a deliberate plan behind this story.
Great chapter and very unusual names for the characters. I really like that you are letting them unfold on their own - like how we saw more of Zaffrie in ch1 and now Alastine and Nikras in ch2 - since I prefer stories that don't have an obligatory "Who's Who" paragraph, but let the reader 'discover' rather than just be 'told' (if that makes sense?)

abuseThis is a fantastic start and I can't wait to see where it's going! The characters feel very natural and you set the scene without tying it down with heavy description; every word was deliberate and necessary. Really great job so far :)
