How come all my repairmen are old, overweight and balding??? I want the eye candy you came up with!!! I loved this story Rush. It was great, easy to read and while it only had about 4 characters you never noticed that it because it was so engrossing. I know your writers keep you busy but I really do hope you finish whatever "that" story you are talking about. You've got a great writing style and every once in a while a hea story just makes me smile

My own demon kitty.

Thank you Tiger. Sometimes the bid for power or control is all that rules people. There is a reason why the Lords of the Trialedes had to protect Tarenna and the artifact, one beyond simple revenge on the invaders. But that is to come in Honor Thank you Owl. There is hope, there always is. I very much wanted to have a chapter or story that showed the Lords coming into being, this was my way. You will find out much more about the Lords in chapters to come. You know Rush, I didn't think of a specific generational gap between the Lords and Bel'lel and the Tarenna that Bel'loc now loves. The time has been long enough for the origin and the names of the Lords to become wreathed in legend and the true nature of the artifact forgotten by the Trialedes, if not greedy outworlders. A few hundred years? A thousand? As long as it takes for the oral tradition to become cemented I guess. I'm so glad you liked this bit of Tarenna's history, Wildone. I didn't fully explain how the Lords exist simply because while this was a prequel to my story, The Price of Honor, it still ties into what I am currently writing. There will be more explanations about the artifact, the Lords and what exactly happened post this story in later chapters, yet unwritten. If you want to read more about the planet and the people try my story, it is about 2/3rds done. Thanks so much everyone for commenting! I also have to say thanks to Lugh, Nephy and Bugeye. They all helped me by listening, reading and editing this story for me.

Knowing several people who have been affected by this very issue I actually knew a bit about it. But the story doesn't just emphasize adoptee rights. It also brings up things like safe sex and family planning that a lot of teenagers don't think about. Not to mention the issues with schools today in regards to many of the more controversial issues they would prefer to sweep under the rug. I like that not only did two teenage boys stand their ground and provide a thought provoking display but backed it up with information and facts, not just their justifiably strong emotions on the subject. The family and peer support is great too. I love this story, it's so true to the facts of life that people in the situation that Trey or Daniel are face. Oh and the line "There will be no cultural revolution over bastardy" That was too funny! Great work!

I know I did Owl, it was great!!! Abe and Tristan apart are hot and as a couple, whew, smoking!!! It took me a little bit to settle into the story but once I did I was hooked. The ups and downs for both of them kept me on the edge of my seat wondering how it was all going to turn out. The scene where Abe shows up at Edies and confronts Malcolm gave me shivers. So commanding! This is a great story as it is and I'm always eager for you to write more on your other stories but I soooo would not complain if you continued with these guys sometime in the future!!! Great job!

OMG, I laughed and laughed with this one. The song, the getting busted with the texting, Mona Lott... I'd be impressed and touched by any guy who'd wear a corset just to go to a dance, those things bloody hurt! I wonder if people will clue into the names of some of the characters Great job Linxe, funny and touching all at the same time!

I enjoyed this story the first time I read it and even more the 2nd time . Aslan is quite a complex character and this story shoves a lot of complexity and thought into one short page. Your last anthology delved into the brain of a conflicted character as well, the way you do so in a fictional tale is aboslutely wonderful. Great job!

I really liked your story. It was almost poetically written with some very eloquent phrases. The love that Matthew has for his mother is so strong, it makes me hope that my son would feel the same when he gets to that age, he's only 3 now and is at the wiping away Mommy kisses stage already Matthew's devotion to his mother and his sadness and fear at disappointing her only serves to emphasize how much he loves Chi and his desire to share that with his mother, no matter what. Great story!

I love this chapter. Billy seems so close to finding a way through his mental jungle with the help of his friends but his insecurities are very strong. I can't wait to see how he reacts to David's dream. Pretty hard evidence to deny but one never knows. I loved the conversation between Walker and David, I almost expected him to open up to him but I think that with his loyalty Walker will speak to Billy before anyone else. Sam is a great character, she's a bit pushy and obviously puts her foot in her mouth quite often but she seems to mean well. Even so I'm glad David finally let her have it, the city kid/country kid is a pretty clear division but not all city kids are useless wussies, just most of them LOL... jk, but I get it as a country kid myself. Great chapter, I can't wait to read more but I'm dying for more Lover's Blind...don't forget Zeek and Jake

Things are going to get serious fast in the story and Darea provides me with an outlet to inject some sarcastic humor. I love that sort of dry badass woman with a mouth on her type LOL. I don't know, an armed shuttle and the viscious Princess in the village, I have a feeling that storming it isn't in the cards. Somehow they will make it in but we'll have to see how they work it. I'm glad you picked up on the connection with Tarenna. While it was a small scene it will be important later on Things are finally starting to come together in the story, a journey lies ahead and we are going to see a few new characters and a few old characters. I really can't wait til I write it myself, lol As always, thanks so much for reading, reviewing and taking the time to comment here. I appreciate your comments so much

He's a cutie Now where's a pic of Konstantin??? LOL Chapter 2 was great. You introduced Mihai's daily life, several new characters, explained some more of the powers and have several great scenes. I really liked the story about Queen Orla You bring to life a very rich story, one with a varied cast of characters and a very interesting setting. It's in Texas but it's not really. I might, maybe, possibly consider visiting that hole if the magical world was really there. Well....probably not, it'd still be Texas LOL, jk. It's a great story, I love it and can't wait for you to keep writing so I can learn more and more.

awww, that's perfect

I love your new signature Tiger, did you do that? Oh...rating, 9.5 cause I love all the varied blue colors

IDK Nephy, a dare from you? LOL...Yours goes to your stories, I must love it. I put a few links in mine before but I must give props to Linxe who made me the banner one night out of sheer boredom.

I want Isaac and Connor... they will most likely be my favorite two characters in Nephy's stories. Hmm...super handsome, both with accents, one a 'tough' guy....drool! River and Silver are a close 2nd though And for a single man in bed, Rix from It was a Monday by Lugh. A guy with purple hair? Oh yeah!!!

It's wonderful, great, awesome. Very inventive and there's lots of action! It's a great story Tiger!!!

Two posts from Owl unanswered 8) Sorry! I'm glad you liked 17 and 18. I had a few characters flesh out a little, introduced Darea I'm loving her too. She kind of came to me out of the blue but she sure is fun to write about. I had to get the plot worked up to them being back at Tarenna but I'm loving them being back on the planet. There is quite a lot of adventure awaiting them, if they can remain undiscovered. Willim is quite the devious one though and the Shilan is sooo not going to be happy when he hears his plan to get rid of his son failed. Oh....and I think someone will be coming back to the story that will be completely unexpected... hee hee, well soon, in a chapter or two, maybe three Thanks so much for continuing to review and leave comments here Owl! I always love to hear what you think about the lastest Bel'loc and Cale are up to!

I have many times in my life and I'm sorry, not even Walla Walla Sweet Onions can make that stuff palatable. Ewwww.

I know, interesting title right? Got you in here to read this I bet Well, if you think this is about sex, ennnhh

Too true, you would like to think that people are more enlightened than that, but it's just not the way we are hardwired. There is a fascination in the human race that simply will feels the need to rank themselves, by physicality, brain power, money, influence...even children do it. Look at the way they pick each other for teams, it's a clear social ranking that begins from a young age. And Nephy...we lubbs ya anyhow. The concept of a closed system seems quite impossible, not with the way all life is interconnected, even if you disregard the 'magical' bit. Oh, and I think that honestly skin color to determine race is not entirely accurate. There are well proven anatomical differences in the way different 'races' have a different bone structure and even are prone to contract diseases differently and have them progress differently. Perhaps that is why people who are in a region of the world that in one way would not be considered 'caucasian' are classified that way.

Happy Birthday!!!!

For Jack!!

snickers, I watched that show too. Gotta say I loved the dog gargoyle. I always wondered why he was so animal-like when the other ones weren't though.

Well, I do have a few ideas about Nat and Marc. I've been writing down a few things that could turn into something. I know this story was short compared to most but I had fully intended it to be a single chapter short story when I started. Things just developed a bit more t han I thought. I've a few things I'd like to work on, but I do hope to come back to these characters in the future. Thanks for the comments, Nephy and Fishwings!!
