abuseYou yet again, you always confuse. You would say that this isn't confusing, but think hard about it, and you'll understand my train of thoughts. Wow, I'm starting to act like Kiy. hn. Good poem, when you finish this story, I'm making it into a book, same thing with the VDD offshoots. I'm going to Russia, and I'm taking all that you have typed up by then with me. By the time I get back, you shall have two killer books. I'm learning how to draw Celtic knots, so now I know how to draw the key. Fear me and my power to make books. ^_^' I'm starting to design a cover, and so far it's very wicked. it's still kinda rough though. Could you post a desription of Kiy? I just need it for my cover. And which one is Kiy? Form the poem I mean? Update soon. And I'm leaving for Russia a week after school ends, that Sunday. Update soon.

Hn. ja ne.

abuseI'm not sure why, but this confused me: "Kiy was brought back from the past as the woman said, "I’ve got to get going. Thank you for telling me this, and I will keep it to myself for as long as necessary.""
When you said Kiy was brought back from the past I thought you were saying she was brought back to the present in which that man was talking to her about Kietags. So when you mentioned the woman I was very confused *Lol* But now that I figured it out it does make sense. Just thought I would make a note of the fact that the wording confused me at first :P
Anyway this was good - I like the images I get in my head of Ta'kar having a tantrum *lol* Kiy grows increasingly intriguing also! Will read on later :)

abuseWonderful, absolutely wonderful. I can tell you've begun to gain a lot more respect for this story. Very nice. Also, I think that you ought to start a new story for each of the seven, this one alone is 18 chapters, which is impressive.

You've got a lot of beautiful descriptions here, the only negative thing I found, I felt like I was disconnected from the characters. That might have a lot to do with the fact that I haven't read this in awhile, but it felt like Cy'torin was lacking in the personality area. Anyways, great job. Absolutely beautiful, and I like the song poem so far. ^.^

abuse"Priests. They serve us, but we do not order them about. They chose to be led by us. We only give them guidance, not order them around."
I think you could strike those last four words, 'cause it sounds a bit repetitive as is.
Here with Kiy's thoughts: "*You’re so close to his domain, all he has to do is push you off and your under his command for the rest of your life.*" You made a mistake with 'your', the first 'your' should be 'you're'. :)
As you can see there's really nothing for me to criticise. I love your writing style. This is an intriguing story so far. I love Kiy! She rocks! But anyway, will be back later to read more!

abuseWooh! Intriguing so far :) Reading on. But also wanted to mention that I second your message (in bold) to those who write "can't write summaries, just read it", 'cause unless I already know the author (as I have on one occasion from memory) I will NOT read it unless I'm in a masochistic mood *lol*

abuseEach of them has their own weapon of power. Kiy becomes Wanting. Her sword is her weapon of power. Please tell me I'm getting this right.

abuseOOh, I like the poem too. Sorry if I was slow on reviewing this, I haven't been on FFN (FP?) lately because of illness and homework. But I'm back now and I updated a lot of stuff, including Weaver!

Back to the chapter, I liked it, although I personally think you're playing too much of a game with us. You never completely reveal anything, and although that does make it interesting, it makes the reader feel dissatisfied too. We don't know why Mei turned into a sword, or what Kiy remembers. You call this the end of Kiy, and yet we still know nothing. If you want to play that sort of hide-and-seek game, then at least give us main events and action as well, instead of just watching Kiy walk back and forth between deities who speak in riddles.

If you are going to be doing a story from Aurilae's viewpoint, I suggest you just write it as a new story. If Kiy must discover Aurilae, I would leave it on this story until Aurilae takes control and becomes the main character. That way you can name each of the books after the main character - or after what they are (Forgiver, etc.).

Sorry I bashed you, your style is good and your characters are interesting, but it seems like all the plot is doing is leading us around in circles. You never reveal anything, there are no main events and no action. We need some at least some semi-climatic events, and now that Kiy is over it seems like we won't be getting them. :(

abuse"Not all sightless are blind"

*squeezes Kiy plushie* I loved that line at the end and I love your song-poem thingie as well. Very pretty. Heck, I loved the whole chapter overall. I'm curious, how long is this story? Ah well. It's a good fantasy story, one of the few good ones I've found on this site. I mean it too.

Oro...sorry for keeping this short. Have to go to class. I'm running late...again. Keep it up.

(I'm doing a little better, thanks^_^)

abuseI loved it! Thanks much for the prono guide. I still love the names. And the poem is awesome!!! The plot thickens... can't wait for the next part. Sorry if it seemed like I was rushing you; didn't mean to do that. And yeah, nothing ever IS as it seems... if it was, then life would be so simple, and we can't have THAT, now can we?!

abuseBefore I give my own scene, muahaha, I need to know, are you planning on including the other seven in this? Because if so, I want to do one of those! Yay for them! Anywho, anexcellent chapter, though I'm thoroughly confused now that I can't remember who anyone is.

You seem to be getting into the funk of Kiy again, however. Yay for you! Anyways, I'm off to your website, excellent chapter!

abuseInteresting. Can't wait to meet Destiny. I'm sure there's significance to the pey'reshken, since you take the time to explain them... but why would Cy'torin's castle feel like them? I said I didn't like him much, now it's kinda reinforced... and watch, Ta'kar's probably bad, and Cy'torin's probably good! Oh well. I can't wait to read the rest of it, but take your time getting it out. I'd rather wait for a good chapter than rush a lousy one. I could probably have made better comments in the bast fifteen reviews, but you seem just fine and it's YOUR story, not mine, so really, what purpose would it serve? (Although when people give me constructive reviews I try to compensate... *Shrugs*)
