A sexy look for Molag, too. Glad to see it wasn't so enticing to Serana, given all she's been through.
Great bits too with Phobia, and with Kyne's messenger giving Grim the reminder he needed. And I have to wonder what might've happened to Despair had Molag not snatched her home like that!
Well done, both pics and story!
Glad you are enjoying the tale!
you did it Wolf.. the tense cliffhanger from the proceeding chapter, the dismay of what could have been.
All wiped clean. This has been a perfect end to get rid of Despair and a great beginning of a new bond of friendship between creatures that should be enemies for eternity.
I will merely accept that the proceeding chapters surprising damage to Wolfgar was just a trick by Despair.
Your writing, the use of the images, and the music always leave memories to think of as the days pass. Inspirational work, showing that the spirit always is stronger than others think and most of the time surprises ourselves in the depth and strength of it.
Well done Wolf
Edit: Now time to sit and write a comment that a work like this deserves. What a massive amount of work you have put into these chapters. The set up the way it all played out , so very impressive and I know how hard it must have been to write some of this as for example the part with Wolfgar and his paws, that was just heart breaking and I was very surprized by the darkness in that part and Serana wow ......how hard that must have been but I did laugh right out lough with the line "Molag ran a strong firm hand slowly over his glistening and toned body, reaching down to his favorite weapon of domination and stroked himself as he let his presence and will overwhelm Serana"
I was like well damn that line is both creepy but also a bit sexy...... and understood where poor Serana could and almost did get lost in his pull again, very tempting offer when you feel you are a monster to just let the king of monsters back in but was impressed how she stood her ground and let her memories of Dannee pull her back from that. Very well written indeed, felt like it was a scene from a movie.
The way you let this play out , the battle , the shots, all had that feel of a great piece that you pick up the book, a cup of coffee and 3 hours later you find your coffee cold and are going well damn that is amazing. That oh I know I have things I need to do but hell with them I need to know what happens now, and back to being lost in the words on the page you are again. You have a way of pulling us in and showing us the feelings behind the story, and letting us have a small peek at what you feel for your chars and I do know this had to be hard for you and Grim, Erik, Wolfie and all the others char in your stories mean something to you ....... not just a toon in a game you feel connected and I understand that as you know.
I was lost in the story and wondered if even Grim could pull this off and get out of this mess, seems almost a loss no matter what happened and waited on the death of one of them and kept on the end of my seat hoping it was not any of the chars I knew and cared for in your stories but then thought all of a sudden they all mean something so do not kill any of them please..... how you managed to save them all , amazing and still have a mind left to carry on to the next task at hand was amazing .
The fight with Despair, the queen of the dread and death, evil is as evil does kind of girl was nothing short of amazing. How you showed each feeling on both Grim and her part, and the ending. How Grim pulled in the power around him of the good, the power of nature and then to see Fleur was so very moving. I wish I could endose this a 100 times as all the work and feeling you put in to this deserves it but as I can not I give you a heart felt hugs and tell you what a story my friend.!!!
Shots btw are stunning........ this this maybe is your best story yet for me ......... enjoyed it so much can not give you the words .....
You wrote about the battle of life, between darkness and nature in a very wonderful impressive way.
I feel the warm emotions of Grim and his friends...
It was a great pleasure, to read this part of your story connected with wonderful illustrating pictures and great ideas.
Pleased you enjoyed this story about Grim and his friends, as well as the images
Glad you enjoyed the story and all the suspense and cameos by guest stars like Fleur. It was one of my largest projects (this whole story line) to date and a lot of fun to do but also nice to finally bring to a close
All along I was wondering how they would deal with Despair if she unleashed her full power. Interesting twist that Phobia was brought into the story! I never read the chapter where Erik was given that coin. Brilliant! I can only imagine Phobia's shock when she teleported into that! Epic WTF!!
The scene where Grim was pitted against Despair was epic, the light against the dark in it's most classic sense. Molag ain't gonna like this!!
This work is your best ever. Have you considered professional writing? If not you should. This was truly brilliant.
Thank you for sharing your great work here. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Aye it was all one mean illusion. I had a few clues on it. I also based it off what Phobie did to Erik way back when in that story by Liadys. Seems the Daedra like to use illusions to make their aura's all the more deadly.
I loved the idea of Phobia being surprised by who it was that Erik was up against. Not just another Daedra either - Phobia and Despair go waaaay back with their history and they hate each other.
So glad you enjoyed it as it was a very big production
Was great how you depicted Serana's struggle against her depression made stronger by Despair's power, her seeing her selfishness in her near betrayal of Dannee. But it seems she had the strength to shake off those dark thoughts, them replaced by memories of the trust Grim had showed her at the soul cairn, her mother speaking of wanting her daughter back, Wolfgar licking her hand and her joking with Akrioh, drawing strength from them to overcome the spell cast on her for a moment. Was heart warming how she was touched by how Wolfgar was standing where he could protect her.
It is unfortunate that she had to face the sight of that dark place were some of her darkest memories reside. She showed quite the will in facing Molag, fighting his words with her own, telling him she would never again make the mistake she had once made, that for her family could only exist with love like that which she shared with Dannee and Sofie, that relationship giving her true strength. Serana shows her sharp mind in having figured out a way to use her connection to Despair to her advantage, interrupting Despair's spell much to her surprise, then using the time she had to drag Grim outside, knowing that he could drawn power from nature, it is fortunate that they had a discussion about his connection to nature previously. You really created some great tension as Aela moved quickly as she could to shield the others from Depair's full power, quickly ordering Wolfgar to follow and Erik to change into his wolf form, all while the seconds ticked down.
It is good that Erik thought of an idea to protect those without the wolf blood, calling an unusual ally to help, Phobia drawn to their realm by her curiosity about his call. It is good that she was quick to react to unexpectedly dire situation her caution with her wards wise. She certainly weaved an unusual illusion considering her sphere but I guess in her understanding of fear she knows how to keep it at bay as well. It is good too that Lotsi saw the truth in her words, sensing the state of his friends.
I like how you described that aura of Depair with Serana's magesight, that shadow as dark as the void itself, devouring light and hope, really give the sense of her power. Grim is fortunate that Kyne still watched over him as carefully, able to send one kind in her place, to speak just the words he needed to hear to connect fully with nature. Was quite a clash of will in that night air, both meeting like blades. Was beautiful how you described the sounds of the wilds making a melody, a sight of that connection to nature. Seems the shadows of Despair's will were not match for the good of nature, pushing her and her aura back. It is good to see Molag snarling at his failure and that of Despair with all he put the group through. Was nice how Grim learned to accept help, letting Serana help pull him to his feet and how Serana could see the sincerity in Grim's kind words. A wonderfully weaved chapter, Jonathan, with its tension and action, really drew me in
I am glad you commented on Grim's stubbornness as that is a core part of him. If you have ever tried to train a dog you will know just how stubborn they can be. You need a lot of patience to train one and Grim is part wolf. My trials with my own dog has show me just how stubborn he is - and my patience never seems to outlast his stubbornness lol. So that was my inspiration for Grim. It is his animal like tenacity that helps to make him what he is.
Also great you picked up on all the things I built upon for past stories with Serana so she would have those memories fresh (recent) in her mind for fighting off Despairs aura. She is mostly resistance to the unnatural aspects of Despairs aura but is still susceptible to having her own natural depression manipulated. I saw you also remembered that Grim did tell Serana about his ability to connect to nature - which was also something I had laid down far earlier in the story.
I spent a lot of time thinking about all the interactions of the characters with Despair, each other, and how they would react. Aela is a true fighter and I wanted to show that - she is also quick on her feet and her thinking. Granted she was wiped out but I had to use a little literary leeway in that aspect. But everyone had their bit to play in this long story (not just this chapter but all of them) and as you saw they all came together in the end. All doing their part - Losti especially had his big part to play.
I went for a good ending as I felt they had all been through a lot. They went to the pit of despair and then back (all of them at one point or another over the course of the story line) and felt they came out all the stronger in the end for having survived that journey.
Thanks again for the very nice comment and glad you enjoyed it!
