I apologize a thousand times for my late review, dear writer! My archaic PC broke down and I just got a new one a few days ago. When I returned to this site, I was hoping you had updated at least two chapters but was disappointed when I saw only one! Oh well, the chapter was amazing and you explained a lot of unanswered questions! I have so many more now, like is Fedor going to turn against Raven, since Topaz is a cunning, mischevious beotch? Is Raven really the bad guy (girl) in the story like Topaz presumes? I like how you keep us wanting more and more importantly, guessing the motivations of some character, specifically Raven. What Topaz said did get me questioning about Raven's motives, so it's understandable that Fedor would too. Let's hope for the best, and please update!

Wow...just wow...
Poor Fedor, the truth does hurt :(
I can't believe what Topaz revealed to him even though it makes sense. Almost as if everything has clicked into place. But Topaz is still the same manipulating b****. Can't wait to read more!

finally an update! *smackz you* this chapter was sooo good and we got al ot of answers! please keep going at a faster pace! i cant believe Celeste is Fedor's mom! it makes total sense tho. is Fedor going to join Topaz? Noooooooo! i hope Raven knocks some sense into him! this chapter did get me wondering who the real bad guy is and i like that about this story. its always having us to tink twice about characters!
on a constructive notie, i think this chapter could have more descriptions. thanks for answering a lot of questions your readers were having! its all tieing together nicely!

Awesome fight scenes, Topaz and Nightstrider's fight was definitely a suprise when I found out it was just a distraction. The Divine Counsel seem badass with their robes and all, although they need to be smarter :P

whoa, that Eric and Kate scene was sexy! they really got into it didnt they? everyones reactions was priceless especially Ravens! i like how Bast stood up for Raven but is also wiling to fight her if he needs to. cant believe the ending of this chapter tho! how will topaz die nwo? will Raven become a shadowheart again? she cant use fire so she has to use her sword. ugh update quick please! wait is kiling me!

Wow what a looong chapter lol. Raven's reaction to Fedor's absence was about to get friece! Thank goodness Ellen cut in with that funny shocking info xD. Yayyy! Its about time Eric and Kate got tgether, though they instantly went off doing their own thing lol. I died of laughter at Raven's reaction when Ellen told her to come here. Raven never fails to surprise me.
I'm glad you shed some light on Bast's and Venice's past with Raven, poor girl :( And now Raven is posioned and can't use her fire element, and she has to rely on her sword possibly and maybe even Ellen...ah hell. Waiting on the next update :D

*Wipes sweat off brow* Whew! What a read! So much occured in this one chapter and I absolutely loved it! [spoiler] Finally Eric and Kate recognized their feelings for each other! Though, is there more lust than actual love between them? Hahahaha, fooling around. I'm glad we learned a little more about Raven and Bast, and that hopefully Eric has moved on from hating her. I felt bad for Gust and wished he would've been in the story more but it doesn't seem like it. The ending was a shock! Now Raven can't use her powers to kill Topaz! A lot of funny dialogue here and also serious moments and it was mixed together nicely. Favorite chapter, hands down. I just like it when all of the characters talk with one another and we learn more about each one of them. Now we just need to know more about Fedor!

That's awesome Kate turn's into a Kat! :P And hilarious imagining her getting punted across the field..too bad it didn't happen..

Sorry for my long awaited review " anyway...
I was happy when Eric finally amitted his feelings for Kate, now all he has to do is evenutally confess to her. The fight scene between the siblings was epic yet hilarious especcially when Topaz was covered in cow poo XD (take that punk! Lol) In the end I was proud of Fedor's choice. He knows its difficult but if he can achieve his goal, he'll hopefully be able to uncover more secrets about himself and his powers. Can't wait for the next chapter! C:

I KNEW that fight between Topaz and NightStrider was a distraction! It was way too lame! Although, I liked how Topaz was thrown in cow poop. XD
And Fedor has finally figured out tht he was tainted?! OMG!
What I don't get is why does he think that to calm his anger, he needs to SIDE with Topaz?! I mean, she'll just make him angry anyway cuz look what she did to Kate!
While Hunter is not looking forward to telling Raven, I am very eager for it! Give em' hell, Raven!

Like Kate could take Raven! Topaz isn't as smart as she looks...I wonder what she said to Eric :O

Glad to see more of the friendship between Eric and Fedor in this chapter, and I think you should do it with the others as well! I had been worried that Hunter wasn't going to appear again because he went off a few chapters ago. I really hope Nightstrider isn't dead; he seems like he would be an interesting character to develop. Also hoping he plays a pivotal role in the overall story, like help with defeating Topaz. Fedor is brave to go back to Topaz after he pwned her, which was absolutely brilliant! I can predict that Raven will be none too happy.
Sweet chapter that provided readers with more character development, especially with Eric. Take your time with updates!

Elders suck at fighting, LOL! Topaz has nothing against Raven when they do fight. stil lwaiting for that, BY THE WAY! good things come to those who wait i guess. did Nighstrider die? cant wait to see Ravens reaction when shes told Fedor left! good chapter, man! oh and Eric wasnt annoying in this chapter.

KATE TURNED INTO A CAT?! Kat, omggg. Eric is a funny dumbass! i wished the fight with Raven and her lasted longer but then again its Raven and no fight with her lasts too long :P i always like it when Bast and Raven talk to each other. they ahve chemistry. i wouldnt care if you got them together even though Bast is so much older then her. they are like brother and sister to me i think. i also wished Ellen kicked kate because that wouldve been HILARIOUS.

That fight with Raven and Kate was super intense. I'm glad Bast talked some sense into Raven before she almost killed her. Its cool that Kate can shapeshift, what an awesome power to have but I bet it hurts like hell :P and p.s. Eric is an idiot. Lmao
