I liked the link back to Phobia's Tale, by Liadys. Not sure how I missed that tale the first time around. (I see I have another author or 3 to get caught up with one of these days. )
Now on to the next to see how they get out of this!
I think that is what Despair wanted to play each thought, feed to him at just the right time , weaking him with each sight, each sound, how else could she hope to beat him.
When I read of what she did to Wolfgar , his legs, the pain, that anger, I though oh thank god my girl is a toon or she would lose it ......... was so hard to read at times , even though I know you so well, I still was worried it was to get out of hand, who was to die, be lost, was to be just a soul or a body, would it be Erik, would Grim ever recover if it was to be true of what happened to Wolfgar, how it would tear at his heart and would he accept the dark offer just to get away from the pain of what had happened......... what a moving chapter........ filled with cliff hangers, amazing shots, you have each chapter out done yourself. I will use Aok words as they are the only that fit
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
Never any rush to get to them either. I know when a new story comes out from other people I follow I tend to wait until I have timer to sit down and enjoy reading and commenting on it. Prefer to enjoy it then rush through it as it were.
Grim was worn down a bit by Despair. He is the leader so he is responsible for everyone under his "command" and hence a lot harder on him in a way. Despair certainly knew just how to find his weak spots!
It was a rough chapter as you saw reading it ... but luckily part 2 was available shortly after
The story line is brillant and I will wait until tomorrow with the next part...
Your illustrating pictures are wonderful, like ever, my favourites are the yellow eyes of Fjorlag, the spiderwebs with the death hound and wolfgar , the bloody Aela and and and...
Thank you for this entertainment. Waiting was worthy
But brilliantly told with fantastic story and shots.
I am glad that I don't have to wait for the next chapter....I HOPE!!!!!
On to the next!!!
how can there be a next part...... I feel Despairs magic even here.
you had better fix this up Wolf.... or Stragon/Níðhöggr may have to make a visit, to get you going in the right direction.
Despair found out quite quickly that even in her state, Aela was still very dangerous, drawing her blood once more with her sharp claws. Serana did well in giving an icy surprise to her vampiric foe, noticing her suspicious disappearance, she is not one easy to outwit. Was great how Grim fought so hard to watch out for his companions as best he could, healing Aela as much as he could in the heart of that heated battle. Was quite the clash of power as Dawnbreaker and Stormbringer met, light an shadows crashing together, startling both foes. Despair shows one of her disadvantages in not having predicted how her foes would fight, her lack of understanding of the mortals, their will to fight. Wolfgar certainly had Despair quite annoyed, being a thorn in her side. Despair was very determined though, knowing the price of failure, making her all the more dangerous.
I like how Wolfgar looked out for Serana, helping her land that killing blow against that ancient vampire, he certainly sees her quite differently than he had at first, perceiving her as one not completely empty. It is interesting how Erik found some strength in his memories of his encounter with Phobia, hearing her wise words in his mind, he was handling himself quite well considering what they faced. Lotsi was certainly fighting bravely thought out matched by Despair as well though it earned him a mighty strike from her blade. That dark servant of Molag certainly is an insidious foe, using the time her now fallen allies had given her to play on the weaknesses of her foe with her aura. Even with her aura effective against most of her foe, Wolfgar was still one she did not know how to deal with. Was sad to see Akrioh in a dire state and to see Grim pained by the sight of Erik. Despair was also very cruel in her laughter after her blade met Wolfgar's paws. They are certainly in quite a dangerous situation. Now on to the next part...
Glad you liked all my descriptive text on the battle, Wolfgar, the fighting, and what was happening during the battle. With so many characters involved I found it very challenging trying to tell each of their stories during the battle without getting to bogged down with points of view. I wanted to focus in on what was happening to everyone, since that is a major part of the story, yet also keeping in mind all of it was happening over a very short period of time. Very challenging to write.
I also went a little over-board with Wolfgar but I adore him so I could not help but make him seem very heoric in this entire story. All to often he is looked at as a side-kick, just an animal companion. But he is so much more than that. He is Grim's half-brother and while he lacks full human intelligence he has more wisdom then most humans will ever have. He is also the epitome of everything that is wolfish - meaning his is the best of all wolves.
