And the Brit is not doing to shabbily at all. I've got 3 out the 5 confirmed results, so I'm happy. The Eastern Conference going down to the last games is not doing my nerves any good though.

I am in. The only words I need to know in French are "l'escargots" and "les cuissons de grenouilles" - yummy . Just need to make sure I don't get the beurre a l'ail all down me like usual .

Wow!! Vivipority in birds?! It's not just one Sri Lankan vet who has never seen this before, nobody has ever seen this before. All birds everywhere are oviporous. **wonders if this is a late April Fool**

Welcome to all the newcomers. Yes plenty to read, plenty to review, and yes chat can take over one's life. Enjoy all.

This continues to be a great story and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's really well written and I feel for the boys. Can't wait to find out what is in store for them. Keep it up.

Being from the UK I only ever saw him on the reruns of The Pyramid Game, the US version of The Krypton Factor and the Times Square New Year's show. My prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

Thanks for reviewing Dolores and glad you're enjoying it. I hope to be able to post chapters more often than once a month, but I'm going to be losing a lot of the time I use for writing, especially weekends. Any parts of the story involving dragons or the Draig-Cyfrinachau are made up, however the rest is historically accurate (near enough). For example, the Breton's did support William the Conqueror's invasion in 1066, but they also did support England during the early half of the Hundred Years War. The modern day Celtic languages (such as Welsh,Irish and Manx) are believed to have developed from a single language called proto-Celtic which experts are reconstructing (the other language mentioned, proto-Indo-European, is also believed to be a real language which is also being reconstructed) - although neither is thought to have been a written language. The Roman Empire's conquest of Angelsey (the last area in Wales to fall to the Romans) in 60 AD was delayed by the uprising of Boudica (Boadicea), who was from an area of England where they would have spoken a Celtic language called British - The Welsh were hiding British peoples on Angelsey, so these two were in theory allies. I have taken some poetic license in weaving these historical facts into the story, but there is nothing that is wildly inaccurate or made up. I hope this answers your question. Though I'm glad people are getting so into the story.

Thanks for the review. I really enjoy writing the history segments in the story so nice to know it's appreciated.

I was never enough of a werewolf fan to have a preferred type. But since I was a big Hammer Horror fan growing up most of the wolfies I've seen are of the furry human variety.

Hope to see you and Paya there, even if you just drop in and say hi.

“Thomas, what you have just read is an extract from one version of the story of the arrival of Yddraigfawr; the Welsh version. It is one of the most secretive documents in our archives; if the full story ever saw the light of day, it has the potential to cause the complete collapse of our order. For the past two centuries, the very existence of this document has been denied by everyone who has knowledge of it. In recent times, we have severely limited access to this document. Only three peop

I normally sleep nakie, always have and always will. The only exception is when there are kiddiewinks in the house.

I have done some editing and beta reading on site and we all have our own opinions on characters, plot, grammar and what have you, and they can, and sometimes do, differ from what the author thinks. You do make an excellent point though which can be easy to forget (by both editors/betas and the author), in that the story belongs to the author and they have to feel free to do what they want with beta/editing suggestions.

I love that song KC. It's called "The Clapping Song" and was originally sung by Shirley Ellis, it's from the mid 1960s. I miss the old nursery rhymes. I was fond of "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" and "Old Mother Hubbard".

We have a similar problem here in the UK with the grey squirrel. It was deliberately introduced into Europe in the 19th century by curious wildlife experts who wished to study it, but is now causing such havoc and destruction of our wildlife (primarily being responsible for the catastrophic decline of our native red squirrel) that the IUCN (The World Conservation Union) have now listed it on their list of the 100 worst invasive alien species (in this case meaning non-native) globally. There are those who advocate the extermination of the grey squirrel (either by trapping and shooting them or with the use of warfarin poisoning, which is highly regulated in UK law), however we are faced with the problem that many in Britain actually love the grey squirrel. New Zealand has a similar problem with the possum, which was deliberately introduced to establish a fur trade (even at its height, trappers were killing 20 million possums a year, and this did nothing to their overall population). They are literally eating the New Zealand wildlife out of house and home, they will even eat the eggs and baby chicks, and are classed as a pest. They are now spending millions of dollars trying to eradicate the possum. I do not advocate the wholesale slaughter of a species, but I do understand why those affected by these pests do feel that way. We think nothing of exterminating a virus or bacteria that is affecting flora and fauna, such as foot and mouth and bovine TB, but we suddenly think twice when it comes to an animal.

Looks like it to me. Paris here we come. **promises to be a good boy **

I try to avoid describing a story, book, chapter as "dark". However, on the rare occasions I've used it, "dark" is what it is; it's a story, book, chapter that is completely devoid of hope or love, or one that is full of evil, malice or hate.

A well written chapter. Leaves us with more questions, than it does answers.

It had been almost twenty years since the war had ended. Nobody knew who started it, or how it started, and in all honesty, the surviving population didn’t really care. Regardless of who started it, the United Kingdom finished it; and boy did they finish it. It all began following a worldwide famine in the early part of 2027. A new type of locust had been genetically engineered in an attempt to control a recent population explosion of locusts. Unfortunately, things did not go according to p

Even in a post-apocalyptic world, life must go on. Mustn't it?
