I reread this author's stories frequently, and keep hoping to find her somewhere else or that she will update and create a new one. She seems to have dropped away from everyone and everything. Which is an utter shame, because she has such a fantastic writing style. Get so emotionally hooked on the characters and the story lines, that it actually feels real to me. Especially Neko ones. That's a credit to the writer. I hope she is well, and I really wish she would come back or at least let us know she's okay. And if she is reading this, I wanted to thank you for the stories.

I'm currently re-reading awaken & stoke while I desperately await your next chapter. I have noticed a few things: Their powers has grown exponentially even without actively trying to do so. And so has their endurance using them. Especially Talon's. He could only do short jumps initially. For instance when they first went to Dleth together, he was worn out weeks later and he hated it. Recently, he jumped to Dleth to collect Kalian after he had killed Sumerion, fought past Kal's magik to get to him, and jumped all the way home in one trip. He's jumped people and horses countries away. He can jump farther and more often than before when he had the corruption (which was supposed to enhance it). That's not even counting how they combine their magik. It seems like when they do it, that makes it grow. Like instead of 2+2=4, with them, their magik seems more like 2+2=22. I also think that, ironically, it appears that perhaps Talon was the one who initiated the tether. Kalian is in his closet of a room when he feels something nudging at his magik. Same by the stream after his first attack on his brother and him. And after Kalian accidentally breaks the tether, Talon restarted it, same when Kal is being tortured by Anders, he forced it. Do we know of the lineage of the verloren's mother? Could he possibly be from the same lineage-like Anders was, a descendant of the race that had initially housed kalian's power? Should he be the one, not Kal, trying to make mental connections with the others, like for instance his kids? Additionally, I wondered if, since they can share their power, can they use each other's gifts? For instance kal can heal, but Talon has never really explored using Kal's power to heal. Did Kal ever learn parler noir? What about the other spells that he was supposed to be learning? He can heal, but leaving the antidote aside, it would seem likely that Kal would have some natural immunity to the poison since he's been dosed so many times already... so how is the queen's projectile poisoning him so debilitatingly? Also, how is Kal letting this heifer get the best of him? I mean, seriously.. dude's got almost God level powers. He better not need to be saved. He needs to get creative, (like create the mother of all walls and then flip it over and squish everyone like he's done before on a smaller scale-pretty much one and done) because he seems to be able to create anything he wishes or imagines with his magik. What about something to turn this broad into a tree or something? I prefer a splat on the ground. I mean, after all, she is trying to decimate an entire country. And because, fuck that bitch! Hopefully Eon had a plan in place for when Kal and Talon inevitably deviated from the original plan and broke rank. He had to know that they would. They never listened to anyone else...duh! Honestly, now we know where little wyn gets it. If Kal can take out an entire damn Navy mostly solo, how is he not doing something to this warlord bitch of a queen right here? I am wondering if the reasoning for trying to kidnap Wyn previously wasn't for the reasons we had initially thought? And speaking of their son and Kal's power, wyn doesn't need his hands, has Kalian ever tried to use his power without his hands? And his works differently (since it was gifted and not natural to him) but I wonder perhaps he could have more than one power since his was gifted, if it had not been awoken by Talon would give ended up with another Power later on in life? Could he have more than one like his son? Soul eater did not use his hands either. It was not necessary. Their magik completely differently. It would be fun to see the queen knocked over by having her brother's decapitated head chucked her. Also, hell nah! No way in hell is this chick going to get the drop on Kalian, no matter how powerful she is, he should be significantly stronger. I mean, it's NOT uncommon for this dude to bring people back to life from the dead. Repeat that sentence to yourself again in your head. C'mon. Also, where's the being that's been providing him guidance? I think kal could use an assist or an audible right about now. He wanted him to put good out there in the world, but how is him getting killed so early on in the process going to help anybody? It's a little rude not to explain what all he can do with his power, since he gifted him to him-and no one else has seen it before-and he doesn't have long to begin with to work with it, and no one to teach him, figuratively speaking compared-to others. You only have so long to figure it all out in human terms, considering that these beings had existed for millennia, unless his life is going to be extended due to them? He should not be as vulnerable as the others, and definitely should be more impervious to attacks like this... Like, why isn't Kalian breaking out and jumping himself somewhere else, so he's not restrained to the ground? Frankly, he could jump in and out of reality all around her. Would be funny if he jumped inside of her and made her explode! That would be a fun and creative way to kill this hell bitch! Very messy, ala Talon style... She has got to go. He did say he would wipe an entire map clean, I really hope he does eradicate the threats. Is it bad that I really wish to see him go nuclear and commit mass murder? He could even do his golden wave. I doubt her magik could withstand, and endure, as much as long as he can actually supply, even in his current state. I really want him to impress upon talon and show him that he meant what he said when he said he would raze a country clean and commit atrocities to keep them safe. Without hesitation. I don't think anyone really believes him.

Wyn somehow slipped his leash? Is that who is talking at the end? Is this woman in anyway related to meep? I ask because of her magik. And if wyn slipped by wren, where is our other favorite tiny terror? And where is the baby girl? Ok. Eon is on the battlefield. Tyren was staying in syrin. Where's the murder princes? rah's people, loren, kal & eons family and suman... But especially hanja all unaccounted for? I'm almost disappointed by Kalian's showing. he's right. He IS better than that. I was (personal hope) wanting to see him go nuclear! Ty for the update! Can't wait for the next one!

How the f@@@ do I erase that?

Okay, questions... Will we ever find out the backstory behind wyn? Or will he have his own story later on? Is there a way to unlock his earlier memories? Dealing with that either way, would help him be more secure in his current life. Could he possibly use his power talking to trees to listen in on the enemies to gather intel? It seems that they don't have a lot of choices, and have to use whatever advantage they have, despite the source and the age. And what happened to his pseudo enemy paras? How is nyx? Have they questioned him to determine where his loyalties are? What about all the other people that were supposed to be helping him with the creation of the antidote? A lot of them were supposed to be non-magik, so they should have still been continuing to build up a supply even as nyx recovered... What about the vision that kalian had while he was in a coma? Is that something he can share with talon? Didn't Kalian actually Shield at one point? There have to be others that can do so...? Additionally, since kalian and talon can jump, why can't they sneak in and look at the situation in serran themselves? As talon is frequently proud to admit, he was a spy after all... Instead of being on the front lines, they could show up behind their lines and attack them from behind? At the end of this, since kalian is a walking weapon of mass destruction, I cannot wait to see him go supernova on the enemies. The thing is, no one has any idea really the extent of his power, including the man himself. It seems like he's able to make anything he wants out of it. He needs to start thinking of the box and trying to get really creative. Also I'd like to see him trying to create mental connections with those around him, especially wyn. Perhaps not as in depth as the one with his husband, but some way the telepathically keep tabs. And Wren.. this new changed Wren, I don't know what to think. Apparently he doesn't either.. and I hate not having him and Eon on the same page. Leaving aside the personal relationship-that I'm unsettled by at the moment (I miss their lovely & loving violence), these two actually head both of the military and defense efforts of the country. To not have them on the same page?! Yeah, that's concerning... I actually wonder how effective the little monster actually is right now? Is he still a monster? Damn, but I hope so. I feel bad for lyme, but not that bad. Unless they're going to add him to their relationship? But I don't think he could endure it. And I'm not sure I want him to... And speaking of lyme, wasn't Kalian going to question him to see what other kinds of powers were, for instance if somebody could be a well of energy or power to boost people who are getting tired magically? I would love to see Amaris happy. It sucks that she isn't right now, but hopefully we will get there. I wonder what her happily ever after will look like? I could see her in a three-way relationship... I think it might take something like that to keep her from getting bored. Whatever happened to the other teachers, and phelti and mateo? And the other fighters/Former students? Who leads those efforts? Especially since Hanja left to go with rah? What are they proposed to do with the government now? Oligarchy for the win? Then how would they choose their successors? And will people rejoice at the Duke's deaths or will they be upset? Since krinn is open, they could use that to help house people who have no homes or are in bad shape? Kalian and did want to fix the lower levels after all, at least it would offer them more housing and a better chance? Still wonder what they did with all the bodies from an entire town?! What the hell did they do, teleport them all to the middle of the ocean? That would take a ton of energy, and eventually bodies will wash up somewhere. And the two crazy dysfunctional princes? Loren and Suman, the unlikely couple... That crap needs to be fixed yesterday. Somehow I just like them together. You know, with suman, I'm almost despondent that I never got his point of view at least once, or Loren's, but especially when his grandfather was killed. I wanted to know what he thought of that news. Never got a response or heard about it? That was his life's goal, to see Sumerion die, and it happened. And then radio silence?! Additionally, what do they plan to do after this work? One is a refugee with a bounty on his head from his original country, and the other one wants nothing to do with his birth country at all, save to help his cousin keep the throne, just so he doesn't have to hold it. So what's next, assuming they survive? Ironically, I could see them adopting a mess of kids. And there will probably be plenty orphans to adopt after this war. And at the very end I actually wonder about the true mortality of any of them. Will Kalian and talon actually die or age? I kind of hope not. For their power seems too extreme and eternal, as they were given them by a difference species altogether. And gifted from former gods. And wren would be the other one I wonder about his mortality? He lived over 500 years so far, but is he fully human now? Will he age and die with his partner now? If so will he be resentful of it? All right, that was all my ramblings. I am way too invested in this story. It is so good. I will edit it for free, if you publish this Kindle so I can buy it. I would love to have it and that library or be able to buy it in paper book form. Thank you for the time it takes to put it out this story. I know it's probably a lot of energy and time for you, just wanted to let you know that it's actually appreciated.

The council of uncles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😈

Honestly, they all have terrible backstories, and they all qualify for that conversation. That seems to be the sole drawing factor of their little Entourage of outcasts...However, none more so than 500 years of our resident monster. Seriously, actually shocked that none of them just decided or thought to call it quits before, with all of everyone's histories? I get it, there comes a time where everyone just gets sick and wonders if there's anything more to life than just the fight? There's living and then they're surviving. Seems like most of them have been in survival mode their entire lives. I mean, truly I understand it. I am not suicidal, but growing up, my background was so violently abusive that I even tried it once, until I went to kiss my baby sister who I was raising at 14 goodbye, and she told me she never wanted me to leave her and (she was seven, she had no idea what I had done). That shocked me right quick. Otherwise I might have quit. But I realized I could never leave her in that situation alone. And I know people had it worse than I did. Unfortunately, suicide, that's something that probably does not have enough honest discussion. I've never really been one for depression, but I think everybody has a breaking point, no matter how strong, and if you can't get away from the situation and you're forced to stay in it? One of my adult son has depression. It's a real thing. I haven't lost a kid yet, between five kids and five God kids, but that one? Terrifies me. No parent should go before the kid, but your mind can become your worst enemy. I just don't think everybody fully comprehends just how fully that can be the truth. Your mind can literally tell you it's night outside when it's day...

Also, for the record, Kalian's dad would be in a dank dungeon somewhere for treason. Family be damned.

Whatever happened to the antitoxin or anti venom that was produced? Wasn't it aerosolized? I feel like that hasn't been mentioned for a long time, nor has that been brought up in anybody's plans...

It would be fun to see them merge powers again, only this time to eradicate all of their enemies! Btw, what has dleth been doing? And Talon's sister? Because if something happened permanently to Loren, they are certainly going to lose their prince...

It would be fun to see them merge powers again, only this time to eradicate all of their enemies!

I've missed making them, but you quit writing it for so long on this story, that I thought I jinxed it. Or maybe messed with your muse.

Oh my lord! Little Wyn has some incredible skills! I like that Wren is his caretaker. I hate that he's scared. But it's going to be fun when the dad shows up. And the prince said he didn't think he was anything but just a man... Hope you remembers he asked for it! I hope he shows him. But even more than that, I was really counting on Kalian to step up to the plate. I've been waiting the whole time for Kalian stand up and amaze everyone with this new badass attitude and grip on his powers. I mean weeks after Wren died he was able to bring him back to life, so what else is he capable of? Besides getting knocked out by some deranged prince? Rather disappointed in him so far. I was kind of hoping he was going to do like he did at the engagement banquet with the light waves, but kill all the bad people and let it go around their own soldiers. Something like he did at Ander's trial when he healed everyone? I mean, he literally broke a castle in half...Doesn't make sense that he's taken out so easily. And that he didn't fix Loren? ... Unless he did? And Loren's going to be a unpleasant surprise for his snotty psychotic little brother? And how did they know that he brought it Wren back to life? How are they getting their info? Thank you thank you thank you for the updates! More please?

I'm still dying to know what happened when Wren and Loren were on their trip, and where are the other two missing Versekt members? And when Kalian held Wyn's head, was he trying to establish some sort of link to him like he has a Talon?

... actually, forever and 2 days! I've been counting, and rereading the stories over and over and hoping and hoping for another chapter. I am so happy to see that you're ready to recontinue this! I am so excited! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I miss the story and these characters so very much. I'm so excited to see their evolution. Even if you're not ready to continue the storyline, I understand that you're muse might abandon you from time to time, I'd be happy with just drabbles here and there. Hell I'd be happy with anything at this point. Please don't abandon us again? I was so afraid you'd abandon this story? It is way too good to abandon. You are far too good of a writer to orphan this story.
