I'd say 'wow', but that would just be redundant, I think. The glade bonding stuff was not what I expected. Though it makes sense.

Orestaphal... now that I did expect, somewhat. He was too good an elf and too good a father for his own good. I'm sad to see him expire for such a worthless son, but apparently he felt that it was worth it. I honor his sacrifice.

Sally and Carthe was interesting, in a side-note kind of way. Their first meeting kind of got drowned out by the whole fix the world deal, but hey, that's what was happening at the time. Besides, Sally needed someone to take her father's place as an anchor.

It remains to be seen what will come of all this, but I'm looking forward to it.

I was so excited to see you had updated! And of course, the update was well-worth the wait. I just love how the elves are bonded together, and how much Heero has put himself through just to be with Relena. And now Zechs and Noin are okay again. Carthe being Sally's half-sister is an amazing twist to the story as well.

Can't wait to see what happens next, Star! Drop me an email when you have time. I'd love to see what you've been up to!

Okay, so I jumped online, read the chapter and wow... amazing! I wasn't quite sure what to expect this time, but there was such a depth of emotion from the characters that I actually almost cried by the end. Orestaphal's sorrow is too real, and his grudging respect towards Heero in the clearing was probably the high point of his day.

Likewise, it was nice seeing some of the other characters reaching their destinations, although Dorothy has a long ways to go still. Be interesting to see how that turns out. I hope you've found the ideas for that tangle.

Wow, way to go with this chapter! Kudos to Orestephal for figuring out who had cast the severing spell. And I hope Heero figures it out, as well. I liked seeing Zechs and Noin repeating their bonding spell, even though they are no longer bonded in that sense. And I'm glad Trowa showed up; I think his words were very much needed by both the council and Relena.

Awesome chapter, Star! Now, don't keep us all in suspense!

Oh, you're evil! Such a cliff-hanger! But what an awesome chapter. I see that the piece of insolent dialogue didn't slow you down at all. Very nice. I loved the part where Heero told Relena not to fear Errandal, that he'd have to go through Heero to get to her. Very nice. Can't wait to see what else happens. I feel so sorry for Zechs and Noin...Errandal will get his, though. I have the feeling Heero will do some major damage to him...

Carthe was the older brother, right? Sally's, I mean...

The evil plot is getting thicker. The interplay betwixt Trowa and Catherine was amusing, whilst that of Errandal with Relena and Heero was simply evil.

Yep, you'd better keep writing, cause I don't want to hang on this one for too long.

good chapter..sorry I must have forgot to reveiw :( plz continue ..I'll reveiw when i read the next chapter promise..this story is good you have to keep it up

Hey Star, you aren't complaining. You have every right to want more reviews than that! And you definitely deserve them. This chapter was solid and moves your story along. I'm glad to see that not all the council members were complaining; I mean, they should take time to really look at Heero and see how he treats Relena. It's so obvious that a human can be bonded to an elf, and that it works!
As for the Glade of Elai, that really is a shame. I hope that Relena discovers more of what was going on while she and Zechs were gone. And yay for Duo being able to keep the beserker below the depths...but if anyone gets on Hilde's case, he won't be able to hold it down.
I just love this story so far. I hope that you get a lot more reviews, because girl, you DESERVE them!

Well, have to say that getting Duo and Hilde there on time turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. Kudo's to Duo for being able to hold off the berserker instinct. Heero really is wicked, you know? LOL.

Anyway, good job. Orestaphal is thinking, which is a good sign. Now we just need to see what is up with the last scene there.

Wow! I love your story. I actually started reading Until the end of tomorrow first and then went back to read the first story. Good job with the characters.

This is story is shaping up nicely. I hope that you continue so I am not stuck here in suspence..

YAY!! Relena and Heero have a supporter (maybe)! ...who's Mella? >.< is she going to hurt Heero? PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!

Sorry that I wasn't able to review this sooner, Star...

And wow! Things are really getting interesting now. I still really love how you portray all the characters, and I love the fact that Wufei and Meiran are together. One thing that has my interest really piqued is who Sally will be with? And will Dorothy and Quatre be a couple?

As always, love Heero and Relena's interaction, and thought Zechs was great, coming to rescue his lifemate! Great story so far, and I hope you can update it soon. I know how busy life is.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Beautiful writing, as always, Starlight. Awesome! There is just too much emotional stuff in there to comment on other than "it's awesome".

:)

Can't wait to see what's next!

Orestaphal... What a great name. ;P

Anyway, good work on the chapter. It flows really well, and you can get a sense of all the undercurrents that are flowing beneath the civil exterior of elven society.

I could almost see the capital as Hilde began to describe it, too.
