Thank you! It's great to have a new reader around who writes reviews. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Josh I had just entered my room when I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I got it out immediately and looked at it, only to grunt disappointedly. Jacob will most likely come to the park, just like we agreed. Don’t worry too much, that won’t help anyway, Luv u :* Reading Ethan’s message made me smile and I felt my heart warming. I sighed as I put my phone aside and started to get undressed. As I took off my chain, I stopped for a moment and looked at the silver Gemini pendant in my hand. I

Hey, thanks for sharing that story! Glad to hear there are people out there who care

Interesting ideas! Sorry for the very long delay. You should learn more soon.

Hey, sorry, seems it took me longer than planned, but I hope this time you didn't forget all. There should be an update very soon.

Well, better late than never, the next part is going to come some time during the next days

Lol, so always two... now the question is, who is the apprentice? It should be telling that I got that reference even though I never heard that line in English, only in German. Anyway, I liked the chapter, great work. I'm not sure Konstantin's plan to go on the offensive is the greatest idea, but then, anything else would sorta suck for story development, I guess. As long as he waits until the internal problems are resolved... then again, actually being at war might make his job a lot easier (that is, as long there is war against an alien race, different human fractions tend to get along a lot better... Yugan, Dagen, Shay... the whole thing is a bit confusing in the details, I might have to go over it later one more time. But all in all very nice. I sorta knew/suspected that reason for Yugan's race to withdraw from technology etc. all along, but having it confirmed was good. :3 I do like the idea of the whole rebirth(?) thing. If I get it right, Shay thinks that Yugan is Dagen? I hope I didn't get it all wrong. Anyway, can't wait to see how that will end. Great writing, I hope you will find the time for another chapter soon and from Germany

heh, sorry I didn't really see that you wrote another comment until new, sorry. I'm glad that our public transport is a lot better organized. As long as you live somewhere close to a city you are going to be fine. But really, if you have enough time you can get from most any point to any other in the country by public transport. But then, everything is a lot smaller and closer here. And lol, interesting story. People hardly ever talk in public transport here (except for some very long train rides... I did have some interesting conversations during my trips to Denmark, but other than that...) Well, thanks again for commenting, and I'm happy to have given you something to think about.

Hey droughtquake, I'm sorry to hear that. In Germany it is usually not that bad, but if you struggle with walking at all, or with carrying weights, then every meter counts... and while the mall where I work is sitting at a crossing of two major roads, there is actually pretty much no place where a taxi could pick you up, the closest being the loading area at the back entry of my store. Were her bags filled with groceries or gifts for relatives? This is a very good question. Two of my German readers discussed the question whether she wouldn't be celebrating with relatives, considering she bought a whole duck (or whether she just bought it for melancholy's sake and threw the rest away or ate it later) - and back then I said, since the story is based on an elderly lady that I actually saw and talked to, I really don't know, but my own take is that she celebrates alone. However, your question actually brings something up that I hadn't really consciously taken into consideration. I don't want to tell you it is one way or another. I can only tell you that my own take is that yes, she did at least buy some gifts for people who couldn't, or wouldn't celebrate with her. As for Jesus and Muslims: Yes, that is correct. However, I do not have the impression that the majority of the German Muslims really realize that. Even if they do, I think that the way Djadi put it is not an uncommon way of thinking. Additionally, even if Djadi is considered a Muslim, I don't see him actually believing in much anything of it. He really thinks and acts more like an Agnostic than anything else. I don't know if the story got that across but that was my thought on the matter. Anyway, lol, I wrote a lot. Thanks for giving me something to think about as well! And thank you for your review! I wish you merry festive days, as well, whichever you celebrate

Thank you for your review! I'm glad that I got the woman across so well. A woman just like her that I saw and talked to during a short break at work (the smoking employee at the loading area) inspired this story, so it's nice to see you picked out exactly that to comment. :3 Thank you again, and a merry Christmas to you and yours, too

When our religion teacher asked the class what Christmas was about, the reactions were divided to either yawning or people rolling their eyes. “To not know that,” the resident teacher’s pet, Theodor, said. ”Well, that would be sort of embarrassing.” Then people started to discuss Jesus, Mary and some kings with gifts, but by that point I had already switched my brain to “stand by”. Honestly though, nowadays Christmas in Germany is nothing more than one big celebration of consumerism. In Septemb

Everyone knows what Christmas is about. Jesus, of course, some say. Excessive consumerism, others reply. But is that really all there is to it? Two young teens learn that it might be more than that. A short story for reflection.

Hey, only a short review, since I'm on my mobile and away at university. It was great to read a new chapter of this story! awesome writing! Its always great to read more about Mira and Shay aaaand I like where the plot is going the pov of the alien/evil thing was great to read looking forward to reading about the exploration of the planet love Sammy

Well, cheery (and beery) best wishes from Germany, too! All the best for the coming year in your life and all that will follow! Love Your bro from Germany ;3

LOL I was actually like going over wast to write in this review when I was about done with the chapter and one of the things on my mind way "I wonder what happened to Emma". Well I guess that question was sorta answered then. So yeah, you did provide me with a number of things I didn't expect.^^ Actually the whole plot thing... with the murder and all, I really didn't it coming at all. The writing was very good, though some scenes between Silas and the Pastor were probably a bit too cliche (and lol the scene with the police officer and the gun at the end was sorta,,, way cliche ) :3 That was fine though. I really liked how you made the whole story so compact/short yet still great and that it feels like nothing is missing. I also loved the whole band thing. Looking at it seems a bit cheesy (plot-line-wise) but lol I liked it and I don't think I've seen it ever before. Anyway, it's late so I am going to stop rambling and just go to bed! Great writing, thanks for sharing it!

Hey Bro, I finally started on this story and I must say I love it. Started this morning before work and read during all of my breaks and on the way home. I just had to stop for a review with this chapter. Just... wow, that was emotional. You almost made me cry. Really great chapter! As with most stories, some things (plot-wise) are easy to guess for me, but some others, such as Emma suddenly appearing... well I totally didn't see that coming. I really love it. Looking forward to reading the rest! :3

Hey Graeme!:3 Great chapter and I was about to say "this is the end? really?" But then i saw that there is to be a sequel! Considering that, it was a good point to stop;3 how long do you think it will take before you start posting? cant wait to see what the main plots will be? will it start right where this one stopped or will it be with some time in between? :3 xx Sammy

Wow, this is the beginning of the end, is it not? I really like this story and it's going to be hard to let go of the team in a few weeks (or hopefully a bit longer...) Great writing, can't wait for the next chapter!

Finally I have the opportunity to write a review! First I have to say this was an amazing chapter! I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of information, some of which I probably will have to go back for to reread, but well, I was waiting for this so I liked it! :3 I really loved the naming of their ship. Great choice. :3 Also, this gets ***** + ** stars, the extra two being for the German beer. Finally something of my country in this story... The information on how politics work were interesting and I can't wait to see what will happen to Konstantin... things play together nicely, first Konstantin gets this promotion and then Shay and Mira bring back all the necessary information - if only there wasn't that alien ship that followed them. I'm positive Liberty can kick it's ass though. Will Yugan appear in the next chapter or is that one also focused on Shay and Konstantin? :3 Love Sammy <3

Very thought-provoking and well written!

Aw so many more wishes! Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate it. Haha, true, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks guys! and bleh, nosty, don't remind me! also, leave me some cake <3

Thank you all so much for your wishes! I haven't been around a lot this year but it makes me happy to see that some people still remember me. Today I will sadly be very busy with school(first day there for my apprenticeship), but hopefully i will find some time later for a little celebration (with german beer of course ) Anyway, thanks everyone and have a great day! Sammy

I love this series! Great to see yet another book and another ton of drama. I can't wait for Will's plans to unfold. I think he's going a bit too far, or at least he goes at it too dramatically, but we'll see how it turns out. I think compared to many other things he has done lately this is going to actually piss of Brad, not just annoy him a bit - and that is not something one should do. ^^ The end of JJ and Alex was sorta expected. Looking forward to reading what JJ will do now. Keep it up!

Great chapter! The Jeweler is creepy and it's annoying how much Justin doesn't think, just expects things to happen his way... throwing pity parties for himself and being hormonal... basically going through life like some 14 y/o brat... ooooh wait... :D Awesome writing! Also, the Jewel graveyard thing... I actually really loved that.. no idea what problems others got with that... ^^ Anyway, can't wait for the next chapter! :3
