Thank you such a wonderful comment.
Two of the answers to your questions are in previous chapters. Azrael and Theo had a chat after Sablo left (see the end of chapter 9), and Diego sent him a text saying he was OK with being shot (see the end of chapter 8).
They may not need arrows, but you can see it as official sanction of their (potential) love and relationship. No one will dare to scoff at Diego for dating Death, when he got hit by a silver arrow.
Val answered the male/female question - BUT you'll learn more on Thursday (next chapter). Same for why the pendant shimmered. For now it's
I'll let @aditus reply to the barefoot question.
@ColumbusGuy I'm glad you liked the sight seeing trip, even if you may have problems seeing the wonderful photos in the links. The Penis Museum is all Val's fault. At the first mention of them going to Iceland, she said: "Is it bad that every time I hear Iceland I think of the penis museum?" Naturally, we simply had to include it after that. I've sent you a description of the comic.
Thanks - always nice to have another SATW fan around. I think you're right about them getting some Iceland sparkles. Maybe that's why their auras were extra bright ?
Don't worry, Azrael and Diego won't fade. Diego is immortal now, and Azrael has just gotten a huge incentive to live forever.
Ha, ha - I guess you'll have support from both Team Rob and Team Jazz for that idea. Now you just have to sell it to Ayil (or Aditus).
Aw, that's nice of you to say. But now I'm a little sad most of the comments are about this and not the chapter content.
And no one has spotted the hidden clue yet. Our editor noticed right away. @Valkyrie
Yes they were, which is one reason Diego felt the whole silver arrow thing was silly. But he's happy is done, so he can focus on building a relationship with Azrael.
Thanks, Parker. I'm glad the chapter resonates with you. We worked it over several times with help from Val, because this and the next one are the crucial chapters.
Lex' mum would be very sad to know her first and most important letter wasn't delivered, but happy to see Lex' dad and his family at the wedding. The story about Cassie and Lex discussing who they would marry was hilarious. I'm glad they got someone professional to take the photos, they should have thought of asking Shelley. Good thing she offered and Casey accepted on their behalf.
You're welcome to borrow a Guardian Angel or a Cupid from @aditus and me if you want to add something to you story.
It would be really cool if you made a list of the characters you took from favorite worlds / books so we can see what inspired you.
I always feel both sad and elated about the start of this story. Sad for the ill treatment George has suffered and the loss of his best friend, and happy Arthur came to rescue him.
They achieved everything they set out to do. But it was terribly sad when Morgan died. But at least he was in Jon's arms and he'll be born again and be of the Light. Tyler came full circle and he and Jon can be together for the rest of their lives.
In their hour of need they found help. And those who helped were reminded there are still people who are of the Light. And Carlos learned an important lesson, and he also got his wish to go on a quest and learn to use his magic.
(PS you may want to edit the story for the empty lines which appeared after the latest update. They make the reading less smooth.)
