very detailed...interesting

Woohoo! So glad to see ya using my advice! I loved this chapter. Wei Fei is awesome, loved the fluffyness between them. And you described firebending so well! I felt like I was actually bending or something as I read it. Great job, I commend you!

Ok, well, very good, you did good with the Fluff part!! sad though... keep up the good work!

Yipes! Poor Aang, poor Ming-Na... yipes! Good work!! Can't wait to help you with your next story! Do you have any idea of it's title yet?

Wow is all I can say. that was awesome! I can't even form words good enough to gush about this chapter! You really take the reader and plop them right into the story. I bow to your mad writing skills! (bows) I'm so sorry it took me so long to review! I feel really bad. I just haven't been around my home computer that much. In fact I'm doing all my reviews and replies from school right now. So, I have no idea what's going on and that ain't a good thing. Oops. Oh well. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Good Job... he he, poor Ming-Na... you gotta feel sorry for her... either way, I saw the Avatar season finale a few days ago... did you know about the moon spirit? GAH! Either way, puhleese do you think you could give her a brief scene? thaks!

Eep! Sorry it took me so long to review! This entire week has just been a waterfall of...stressfull...stuff. I loved this chapter! Each piece of this story just becomes deeper and deeper as you go along, it's great. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Aw, this was all sweet. I giggled when I saw the "cleansed by fire" line in there. The interaction between Ming and Sying was really good and I liked the story that Ming flashed back on. Pretty much I liked everything. Yes, I did side with Wei back there for a minute. Even if a society has a ritual of suicide as a last chance, I think it's kind of the cowardly way to go. The "easy way out". But that's just me. I don't expect the world to change because of what I believe.

Nice work going into the history like that... I'm guessing that Rebecca cried at the time when the lady's dead husband came to visit her... that was SAD!

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT RESPONDING!! SORRY!!

This is REALLY good! Very interesting... the whole story about her relationship with Zuko is REALLY sad! keep up the good work!

GOD! Wow... the dream was preety sad... I remember Zuko having that scar on his face... wouldn't it be cool if, in the show, they show the EXACT moment when he got that scar? (or have they done that already??) Either way, keep up the AWESOME work! and you still have everyone in character!

AWESOME!! Great job Melissa! You did VERY good with Aang, and the part with Sooka was very funnY! (That IS how you spell his name... right?) Either way, keep up the good work! You must have done TONS of reasearch for this fic!

You tell her, Wei! Anyhoo. Snakes rock! I luv 'em. That's great that you named yours hermione. Do you like Hermione, or do you think she's a snake? I personally think she needs to be slapped most of the time. I though Jun was a cool character, but they over did her. It was kinda corny that she was super strong and everything. I'm not a particular Zutara fan (I think Katara is kinda wussy and needy) but I'm sure that Zuko and Katara are going to hook up in the series. There's just too much subtle foreshadowing to think otherwise. Well, great chapter! Can't wait for more!

e! the end is a little different, but i like this. hey, can you possibly put the lines betweent the places where you switch "positions"? it gets a little confusing there. You're a really good writer. i also want to publish sometime, and i think i'm getting really close, too. anyway, i'll have to read chapter 2 another time cause i got to go now. bye!
my pen is my sword in writing...o-dragon

Hm, I have a snake up my sleeve. No, seriously! This silly thing climbed into my hoody and I can't get it out! So I'm typing this one-handed and it's a bit awkward. Anyways, great chapter! This story is just getting better and better! Are you sure there ain't gonna be a romance? Because it sounds like Zuko and Ming could have sum'm goin' on. Yay! There's a character named Lin! I feel happy now even though it prob'ly isn't me. I loved your description of Zuko from when he was younger! I can't wait to see who this Wei-fei guy is and you should totally do one of those fics! But I'm not the best person to ask for suggestions. I get creative bursts for my own stories, but unless I concentrate super hard I come up with squat for other people's stuff. Wow, try typing with one hand for a while! It's exhausting. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a five-foot-long bull snake I need to pry off my arm. At least it ain't around my neck anymore, I almost passed out it was squeezing so hard. I still have red marks!
