That was ... very romantic. Cute!

What a job... What a world! What a story! Thx!

Thank you! Indeed. It is a bit much, isn't it? Yes, he did. Jordan's anger is perfectly understandable. Yes, Alrik's opponents have cause for concern. No. There are ... ways Yes! Indeed! I wish him luck! I keep that close to my chest in case of a sequel. Sorry! Glad you enjoyed!

There are foreseen risks.... as we will find out in the next chapter

I am sorry to read about you loss! All best to you and Michael!

Thx for that! Made me smile.

Thx, @mcarss, that was horrifying. I water deeper than I can stand with head above it!

That was wonderful. We should listen more to mother nature and it's manifestations! In Finland, the family consider me a tree-hugger, because I rescued saplings by replanting them instead of ripping them up...

@Valkyrie fixed it.

Thank you! I will do my best, but first, I need to go where many have gone before ... space

Yes, that was quite an abrupt change, sorry! Glad you enjoyed it in the end! I remember a quote, but not where it comes from: "The path to disaster is paved with good intentions."

Thx! That is want I wanted to achieve... Sometimes, very cold indeed.

Hi, Someone found a character name mistake in my Anthology story "Eternal Love". I remember something about not editing a submitted story while not being published. Can I fix the mistake now or shall the story remain untouched? Thx, Law

Not quite, sorry. You assume Alrik had crafted/created the necklace, which he did not. Now, the providence of the magical items in his possession I have not outlined, but obtaining it was part of the "gaining power" part. Magical knowledge in nearly all fantasy settings means spells and, to a lesser degree, theory. This is not the "wise, old wizard" kind of knowledge and power, but the necromancy and planar travel kind. Excellent find. I remember something about rules for making changes to "special" stories like Secret Author or Anthology. I will ask whether I can edit that. Many thanks!

If the GA statistics on the stories are correct, you have had more people looking at your work than I had looking at mine. The idea of more followers, more readers, more awards, more likes ... more ... anything is unfortunately how Social Media aka "the internet" nowadays works. It is so bad, people even "buy" likes... Ignore all that! Makes life so much easier! I know this is much easier said than done, I struggle sometimes, but I think it is worth it. I think the main question for you to answer is: why do you write? As long as you enjoy it, go and write!
