This is probably the most well written chapter I've seen in Circles of Arven. It's concise, sharp, simple, fable-like. There was also tone present in the narrative, too.

I'm thinking that Orowen is like... the personal Jesus of the Denidaine. It's pretty interesting that he comes randomly when they're being hunted by the humans. So, does that make Laronre a demigod or -all- of the Denidaine demigods, or is the color change just a sign that they've been touched by a god? It's crazy though, that the Denidaine could unlock the wrath of Nature-that one time that Azuren went crazy, was he summoning a nature spirit or something, or is he just insanely strong?

It took me a while to get back into a reviewing groove, but I'm back. Thanks for dropping by the site, Wolfblood.

Wow, so Julia is Ilgen's daughter. I don't understand why Lyren thinks it's important to let Azuren know that-is it because Ilgen was Thelanor's friend, so it kind of completes the circle, or what's going on? ... also, I find it creepy that Lyren's been out of sight this whole time but still around. lmao

The parallel between Thelanor and his lover and Azuren and Julia is simplistic. But it is effective. I think that as Azuren learns to be a ranger, he'll gain a sense of maturity. I still remember the earlier spurt, where he was thrown into the woods to fend for himself. I want to see this guy mature.

Wow - can't wait to read more - I love wolves.. xD I'll read more when I get the chance :)

Wow... I Love this prologue _ so much history! I love it It sounds awesome, can't wait to read the next chapter (I need sleep right now ) Great work :D

~FoxyWriter

I must say that I'm impressed. For a prologue this was really good. The story seems well-thoughtout and also well-written (though I had a weird feeling it was greatly inspired with Tolkien works, especially "Lord of the Rings" and "Silmarillion"... it's nothing bad, since my stories used inspirations from time to time too... heck, in my "Dragon blood" I made the necromancers ALMOST exactly like they were portraited in "Diablo 2" _').

The only problem I had with this really was that it felt like info dump. It may be personal preference, but I usually prefer to find out things on a go (especially since I kinda doubt that knowing all the Gods will be really necesarry to understand the story). Even more so when there's this much information. To be honest, although I just rea it, I already can't remember the names of any of the fourteen gods, besides Irunar and Marath... and that Orewen guy who fought Marath. This is just an example, with which I wanted to prove my point.

Now I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to present it all at the beginning, I just think it's not really that necesarry.

Aside from that I find this an enjoyable read and certainly will return to read more in the near future. Hard to say when that will be exactly, but I will.

Naturally, if you wanna read my stories, feel free to do so. regardless I shall return XD

Take care.

Very good first chapter, and I think its good that you have the habit to go back and revise your earlier chapters. My only critique would be that the phrase "and thus" appears a lot in one paragraph which makes it appear as though the train of though is ending, but in fact it continues into another paragraph.

Other than that small problem, this seems to be another good story worth my reading.

Well, for this chapter, I don't really have much to say except:

(mimics the voice of the announcer guy from the movies)

"And so... it begins."

Lol XD

I really wonder what's going to happen to Azuren next.

Uh, hi it's me again... if you didn't get a review for the last chapter, I blame fictionpress. They're not allowing me to review. -Troublesome-

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I knew that wolf sounded familiar! And so, the plot thickens. Well, I gotta go now, so I'll review your other chapters in the near future.

Ja-ne!

Lyn-san

Hey! I'm back to review some more chaps! Yay :]

Ok, this chapter was short, but I really enjoyed the wolf scene. The cub was especially cute. KAWAII! Anyway, I'm movin on to the next chapter.

Ja-ne!

Finally reached the current last chapter you have up, and I liked this chapter just like all the others. Nice end to the battle, I feel sorry for the Darkenkin...T.T Seems he wasn't a total dark being, huh? Heh, Eldan. I should have known he'd show up. All I've got to say is: Go Eldan! I'm sure he'll find his own cute girls to rescue...XD Anyway, great chapter, wolf-essaan! ;)

So...I only hope when I return in a month or two you have another chapter up, for this and TEC. I also hope to see your reviews for my stories when I get back! XD

Sorry about mixing up my reviews I don't know what happened. Anywho I like this chapter very much. What is a scimitar?

Ok I'm getting used to the cliff hangers now, (just a little bit)

Whoa! you can go easy on the cliff hangers.

Eh, sorry for the belated review...

Wow. Really exciting chapter. I love your battle scenes, man. XD The Darkenkin's abilities are very interesting, and I can't wait to see how Azuren gets himself out of this. I was almost scared for him for a minute, I admit, but seeing how this chapter ends my hope has been renewed. Anyway, amazing chapter, wolf-essaan! One of my favorites so far. ;)

Oh yes, I noticed a few things, you know the drill - take 'em or leave 'em: 'but he was still convinced that he’s able to win this fight...' a switch from past tense to present. It'd be better if it was: 'he would be able to win...' Know what I mean? I do that sometimes inadvertantly, too, so no fault there. XD

'His instincts could sense where the Darkenkin will strike, but before he could react, it will score the hit first and continued its confusing movements.' - Same thing here: I think It'd sound better as 'it would score...'

Don't know if you agree with me, I'm just trying to be constructive. :D Anyway, like I said, I really liked this chapter. I'll be reading the last one as soon as I can! XD
