[Nephylim] Enigma II - Fighting the Man

[Ara]

lol gogo Silver. I get the impression these people just arent ready to deal with his skills

 

I also get the impression although we didnt hear from him that poor Rivers gonna be devastated when he sees where he has pushed Silver so even though he didnt appear this chapter ill send him a hug

[Nephylim]

River's so gonna be sorry for what he's done. But first .....

[Nephylim]

So, as promised a new Enigma II chapter is up,

 

River wouldn't approve and I'm sure as hell the Social Worker wouldn't but to hell with them

 

If anyone has been feeling that Silver has been having a rough time lately then this is the beginning of a good time for them. This is Silver at his best, This is Silver's time. For a while this is all about him and god he's good

[Ara]

Why am I not suprised that Silver owned the stage the audience his fellow dancers and hell even his boss.

 

Asher also seems like he could be good for Silver coming to terms with what has happened and eventually making a life, Hopefully with River but meh this is Silvers time he needs to shine and then he needs to go back on his terms Rivers had it far to easy latelywhen it comes to Silver

It is so Silver's time. I thought you were all going to lynch me because of Silver and Asher. Asher is simply a wonderful person and a wonderful influence. Their relationship is just a total fairytale... a Grimm's one Asher is Prince Charming and Silver is... well take your pick

 

I'm glad you appreciate that Silver deserves happiness and River... well he had his chance and he blew it. It's up to Silver now whether he gets another one.

[Nephylim]

You know, this was probably the most absorbing and personally important story I have ever written. River and Silver are so important to me and the story they told this time was very close to home too, drawing on my own professional experience. I know it wasn't easy to read but I had to pull Silver down so that he could rise again and become his own person.

 

I thought that SOMEBODY would have had something to say about Asher and Silver but I have to admit I am really disheartened that anyone is really following and caring about this story. I am thinking that I might just post the rest of the story and move on to something else.

 

It's weird as hell I know.. but that's me... I feel that I've let my boys down. Go figure huh

Weve only really had 1 chapter of them and theres not been alot to go on, Speaking for myself im waiting to see what happens between them Im hoping it turn into a friendship with clearly defined boundries (River Shaped) but who can tell.

 

For that reason I wouldnt take the lack of response to Asher to seriously at this moment as people are most likely waiting to see what you do with him and where he fits in Silvers world and just what waves he makes

Nephy hun? I'm sure that you are all caught up in the ROYAL thingie, but for goodness sakes don't do anything irrational here!!

Can we give the Phana outcast just a few days to catch up (or in this case 'start') reading this story before you 'shelve' it? Please?

I just need a few more moments in time to catch up and then I hope you won't 'toss in the towel'. Please?

I am SO looking forward to catching up with your stories--GODS I've missed them! Huggs!!!

You know that I just came back here. My reason is to help me be a better person--not the asshole that so many people seem to think that I am.

yada yada bla bla

So! I am off to read "Enigma II".

Nighty night.

[Nephylim]

I don't want anyone to misunderstand. I am not even considering not posting the story. I am just considering posting the whole thing and moving on to something else.

 

I'll see how it goes.

 

I've posted another chapter so let's see what happens.

[Nephylim]

Okay, I am now embarassed because the last chapter wasn't the one I thought it would be. This is the chapter I thought there would be comment on as far as Asher is concerned. I hope it will be exciting and shocking and worrying and I really hope you will be happy for Silver.

Lol having read the next chapter now I see why you wanted a response to Asher. Well heres my response

 

 

With that in mind Im gonna cut Silver a bit of slack. I think he sees this as a way he can be himself and get back some of what he feels he has lost. Lets face it while River had the best of intentions they do say the road to hell is paved with them. I still think River and Silver should be together in the end I just think Silover needs to find out who he is and what he wants before that can happen. Going back to River now would not be in his best interests

 

As for Asher phwoar he has some skills and he seems to be providing some therapy, I just hope its short term and these two dont get to involved.

 

Watching with anticiation

I didn't have a reaction to Asher in the last chapter because I thought though they might be chemistry, it'd be one of those scenarios where they both want to but never go there, and be like a guardian angel helping River find himself in a non-hands on way. I don't think I'm as shocked at them doing it as I'm as shocked as Silver's reactions to it and what was going on in his mind while it was happening and the fact it happened again and again.

 

I'm worried because more and more, he has started pulling away(emotionally) from River. I can't say I'm happy for Silver(yet) if I'm being honest as he doesn't seem to be fully happy yet himself. Can't wait for the next chapter, if the auburn hair really belongs to who I want it to be, I have a feeling the confrontation won't be happy.

[Nephylim]

Sorry.... It's no spoiler telling you beacuse i was under the impression that I made it clear enough that it was meant to be Asher. Obviously wishful thinking on someone's part.

[Anya]

Wait...so the person with the red hair Silver sees at the end of chapter 25 is Asher? XD

[Nephylim]

Well, it's not THAT red. It looks redder in the lights of the club. It's actually a rich chestnut colour but with a definite reddish tinge.

 

Now, what would River be doing at the side of the stage in a place like that? Do you think he would actually be allowed?

Re-read it and for whatever reason, my mind had skipped the part that said "on the other side of the stage" the first time. Probably wishful thinking overriding brain.

[Nephylim]

Well ... i tried to get photos into the thread to show the difference in colour. They are similar but different

 

River's is auburn, which is a dark red

Asher's is chestnut which is essentially brown but with a definite reddish cast to parts of it.

[Nephylim]

Okay... soooo.... Another chapter posted. This is one of my favourites. It the one where Silver first realises what it means to be free. It is the one where he defends one friend, is defended by another and faces of the man he saw as his Master. The conditioning is still there, it is still strong but anger is stronger.

 

Okay... here's the score. You know how important this story is to me. I have never written one that is more important, except maybe Enigma I

 

To tell you the truth I would care if no other story of mine had another review if this one did (well maybe one or two) River and Silver have been through so much in my head an my heart and I am SO proud of Silver for what he has become. His painting has pride of place on my wall and his story of of how you can fall to the very bottom and rise to much highter than you have ever been before. I can't bear to see chapters with no reviews at all.

 

I know it is a hard story to read and, yes it was a hard one to write; and yes, I am probably quite insane but I just don't care.

 

I am not going to hold anyone hostage or force anyone to do anything. I have no expectations but if the story doesn't start getting more hits then what's the point of putting myself through this. Yes, it's stupid. It's just a story and I have never felt like this about any other story ever... but there it is.

 

I have asked Cia if the story can be withdrawn and she has said yes, so there will be no more chapters if there is no more interst.

 

HOWEVER I know that there are people who like it and so if I do decide to pull it then I will quite happily email it in its entirity to anyone who asks.

 

Thanks for reading

[Sashamarie]

Oh no! Please don't withdraw the story. It's one of the most emotionally powerful stories I've read here and there are still so many unanswered questions. I really liked seeing Silver begin to form his own identity and start standing up for himself in this chapter.

[Nephylim]

Thank you. You have no idea how much I appreciate you popping in to say that.

 

I have a strange relationship with my characters in that, while I am writing them they are totally real to me. This is especially true of Silver. I don't know where he came from but it must have been somewhere deep in my subconscious because he has had a huge impact on me. I have his painting on my wall... and it is much bigger than it appears, and he kind of watches over me. That's why I felt so responsible for what I saw as the failure of this story. I didn't write it well enouigh .... for him.

 

I fully accept any accusation that I may be seriously insane

 

I probably won't pull it then, but I would always have emailed it to anyone who asked. I owe that to the readers and to my boys

[Nephylim]

So, tomorrow I am going home. WIth all the packing and travelling I think that I might not get around to posting a new chapter; so I will post it now.

[Anya]

If I get to read the rest of the story without having to wait a week for the next chapter....then by all means please email it to me

[Nephylim]

Haha. It doesn't hurt to ask

[Anya]

Lol

 

Well to reply to your answer of my review......maybe Silver and Asher are more equal than Silver and River....but Silver loves Rivers so much. And besides....he just said in this chapter that no one touches him like River does ;p

 

So...how long till we get to see River again? xD

[Nephylim]

Well... this part of the story is all about Silver and Asher. We'll see River later but whether it's with Silver or not I aint tellin'

 

Just bear in mind

 

1. Silver thinks that no matter how much he loves River, River doesn't want him

 

2. River has no idea where Silver has gone.

 

3. River isn't there and Asher is.
