I rather enjoyed this, I must say. As a first chapter, though it felt more like a prologue, I ended it wondering what would happen to Laura, Richard and, especially, William. What great things will he do? That is the most pressing question. Will you update or is this a one-shot?

I loved this story as soon as I read the summery. That doesn't happen often and I hope you continue it; it sounds like a very imaginative story.

This looks really good so far! Keep it up :)
