    I've read the first storys with him now, and I really, really love him as a character.
    Quite cheeky, fresh, somewhat charming... dunno, he is great! Well done, dear! <3

    Oh, this is so cool, the way you make Leif into a totally innocent, clown-like character, while his more brooding brother gets constantly annoyed and sometimes dismayed with his bold, brash, carefree, wiseacre attitude.

    Leif clearly has NO idea what powerful events he has already inadvertently set into motion, and the awesome forces he's about to unleash!
    Endorsed. Warm thanks and cheers, dear!

      Thanks hon! Glad you like it and the brothers! Yep, he's about to realise there are some DAMN big forces at work in Skyrim!

      If only the Nexus had a "vote up" button for these couple comments, I'd definitely be hitting it right now.

      And thanks, Jess, for inadvertently inspiring me lately!

    Great and fun story telling Jess. This sentence, "who were more likely than their mummified companions to rise, and pre-empted their return to ‘life’ with a well-placed arrow." made me smile as Grim was always sneaking up and taking them down first. I like how you "explained" the easy way to get them. Grim used them for sneaking practice

    The images are great and fit the story you told perfectly - a very nice match of text, images, classic well known story with the added depth of having "real-life" people actually doing it as part of their life and not a game. All those little touches, as others noted, really add up to give them depth and character, adding zing and life to the story.

    Lastly you managed to completely surprise me in two ways. First I don't think I have ever seen you write about a dragonborn (not sure the Nigheim character really counts) and I was totally not suspecting it. I was expecting you to skip that part in some manner and just have them as two people living in Skyrim, as it were. So this has added some extra excitement to his tale as now I can see how you work that this all together.... course maybe you have a trick card up your sleeve and he won't be the dragonborn but your own creating ... but either way I am sure it will be a good read.

    Second ... well Faendal is alive O.o I was sure he was going to be joining the Draugr and Leif would blame himself for his death.

    Which means great ... I now have the suspense of waiting for the proverbial ax to drop! :-)

      Thanks dear - I'm pleased I could 'surprise' you! I had no idea people may have thought Faendal was going to die in BF Barrow! Geez I really am a monster aren't I? No, Fae and his 'big' bro are well and truly a duo.

      As for Leif being the Dragonborn, well, I thought it's about time I have a play with uh, the main POINT of Skyrim tee hee. So this will be my take on it.

      And the ax? What makes you think there'll be an ax to drop?

    I'm really enjoying this series. You're telling it well, and I love how much a character Leif is!

    I also like Rayek's comment, about "reading a story you are familiar with...but it's told in a different way." That definitely fits here!
