"Are we human, or are we dancers? My sign is vital, my hands are cold, and I'm on my knees, looking for the answers. Are we human? Or are we dancers?"

Oddly enough, I was singing that just the other day.

And I know that you will read this review perhaps before, perhaps after the one for the previous chapter, yet I will thank you again, even though in my efforts to remain coherent as I type (it is 1:25 AM), I have lost my grasp of... word... contractions. Thank you. I am ten days younger than you, and these tales have been a comfort and joy to me through some hard times. Thank you.

I look forward to your next piece with joy.

Over and out,

:D CD

-tight hug- Interesting how your birthday and mine are ten days apart. I wish I had known.

Excellent as always, except that several chapters have some formatting errors. Also, in one of the chapters which I forget because I could not 'put this down,' so to speak, and it is quarter past one, Wren 'pored' over crossword puzzles, not 'poured'. I note that this is a common error among many writers, so do not feel too bad about it.

Thank you for this. And thank you for letting me be a part of this. I was happy to take a bullet for Charity.

:D CD

I wasn't certain before, but now I am. Nat is and has always been my favorite character. Even knowing what I know now. -Especially- knowing what I know now.

:) CD

For the record, thank you for the Dr. Who reference.

:) CD

I am sorry that it has taken me so long to return to reading this. It's excellent.

I'd like to note that the first half of this page needs its formatting fixed, though.

*Hugs Nat.* :-D

Aw; I'm gonna miss these characters. :( I know you said you're done with them, which is kind of a shame, since (I'm biased, I know) Nat's background sounded like it would make a really interesting story in and of itself. It's too bad such a special and deep character doesn't get the deep development of others, but I love all of them. Thank you for the random, happy-making Nat cameo at the end. :) Gosh, I sound like such a fan-girl... And I totally just realized your books were on sale (last chapter)!! I'll have to figure out how to use the online purchasing thing and buy them. :-D Said I would, still plan to!

NO! NAT!! *Long, tortured wail.* *Pouts.* Poor, poor favorite character. :( I'm pleased he got to help save the world/his "family" and that we got to finally figure out his background, but I wish he didn't have to die. I'm glad Ferdinand finally made him happy, though. Poor tortured boy deserved some happiness. (I don't suppose La could make a deal with her divine connections and help him out a bit, huh? ;))

Hello again! :) I'm still reading your utterly fantastic story, though I've been a terrible, terrible reviewer. Know that I feel very guilty about that, by the way. I haven't logged on in forever, but I wanted to thank you so much for your message to me. It makes me feel very special. :) Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see me pop back up! I wondered where I went. ;) Odd that La is a priestess; my major in college is Religion-Philosophy. Lovely coincidence. I'm glad there's a bit of a reprieve for our group; they needed one. Also, I'm very pleased to meet Derrick's father! Now the mystery of his powers is finally explained. :) I'll continue to read, and hope to review more regularly. Where have all your reviewers gone, I wonder? You deserve hundreds more.

Brilliant chapter. Absolutely brilliant! I was so concerned and upset when Creed risked Taran's soul like that in a battle against the devil, but when I found out the twist at the end, it was perfect. :) I loved two lines particularly: When Creed told Satan to return to Hell and Derrick's closing line. Again, BRILLIANT chapter (though the formatting is a bit odd).

YAY, UPDATE! ^_^ *Failure to review properly commences.* It's very useful that Felix can cause meditative trances and calm people, especially at this time period. I'm also supremely glad that Myra's awake. I hope things start to get better for Rivki soon, but I'm fairly certain things have to get a whole lot worse first. And I got all fan-girl excited when he referenced the time you gave me a guest appearance. ^_^ I wait with patient excitement for the next chapter to your story.

Wow; this is serious and harsh. It's epic, and it makes me afraid for my favorite characters. I'm intrigued, and I can't wait for the next chapter so I can see what happens next. Awesome emotional writing as usual (but up at the beginning of the chapter there's a jump that doesn't make sense, where Rivki asks Jai "What's this?" What's what? Etc). 'Til next time; your faithful reader, La.

Everything's underlined, and the upper section, until "sutteerak," is italicized. Oh, and there's a fragment. "If I had been"

-laughing- After all this time, Nat can still keep up at least the facade of a sense of humor. I admire him for that.

-cracking up- I LOVE KOKOPELLI!

-nod- Very cool. -rubs hands eagerly- This is getting FUN... I mean, it's sad that everything is going to hell (literally) right now, but everyone's working together and it's SO COOL.

:D CD

Here we go... it all begins to tie in.

:) CD

Woah. This is getting really deep and serious. The story does seem to pass major events quickly and with little detail, making it a bit hard to keep up, but it's still very good. I must say, that Satan thing is quite the scary and interesting twist, and I'm intrigued as to why Myra chose Rose to save from nightmares. I sense important plot developments in the future. :) I look forward with fascination to your next update.

-shudder- Derrick is right Derrick is right Derrick has GOT to be right... -shudder-

Love as always...

:) CD
