Hey, Ryo has a past. Who knew?

Excellent work, Dix. It's an excellent introduction.

Your favorite goddess, Ileana

Great job! I love the way you combined everything in some way Keep up the good work!

It's like a cool one shot, the beginning partner to the first couple of chapters of Dragonia. It honestly doesn't need anything else since you've already written about the camping trip in CoC. Okay comments about the sections...

Cye: I want to huggle him. Which means it's a seriously good section since he's not my favorite Ronin. (But I have to say that Cye being the ONLY Ronin to get terrorized by Cale besides Sage, does raise his worth. Cale is obsessed, I swear. I mean he sends his sword to kill Kento and hangs Mia in a waterfall in winter and then freezes it, but that's to mess with Sage. When he messes with Cye right before they crack Kayura's neckplate is the only time he's ever personally interacted with any of the other Ronins. Sorry, Cale's my favorite Warlord, did you notice?)

Kento: I love him. But anyway, does his willing away of his Seer abilities have anything to do with his forgetting stuff?

Sage: Ouch, while I do kinda like or at least respect his grandfather, so how did his parents end up raised in the Middle Ages? So, he's not a virgin? Considering Trulpa's banking on the potential virgin sacrifices she possessed, the consequences of the discovery of this could have been 'heehee' surprising; for her.

Ryo: I don't see where having an imaginary tiger friend is any worse then a boringly typical imaginary friend would be.

Rowen: I'm just guessing here, but I'd say that Rowen's mother is probably Dragon Kin from Dragonia, or whatever AND bonded to Lucky's mother as well. Is she still stuck driving up to visit Ryo and Rowen or has she at least gotten up to the house yet?

One thing I also want to mention though...

In Ryo's monologue, the last sentence is "I thought it would be a good idea." In Rowen's it's "...and we're all going to go camping and have a blast...". Shouldn't the optimism go in the first section and the ominous foreshadowing go in the last section? I think ominous foreshadowing is a good thing in this oneshot but, Ryo's sentence really sticks out, especially as the only Future is (Bad) in Past Tense. My suggestion is to either switch Rowen and Ryo's sections, or make sure that Ryo speaks in present tense.

So Freedom's likely to be updated next? Cool! I've been wondering what the rest of the Ronin Senshi's reactions to Sam's attempted suicide would be.

Wonderful Dixxy. I love this, The Rowen part was really nice. Did I see that dangling plot point we were talking about hanging around in there? And Sage had his Random Girl! That was so great! Don't sell yourself short, the Ryo part was great. I know he's harder for you to write, but you still did well! Can't wait to see more of Freedom!

Very nice Dixxy. Now we get some insight into each of the charachters of the Ronin Warriors before everything hit the fan! Now, a small request: I know its not exactly what you would do normally, but how about a little piece with Mia's thoughts on all of this. It would be interesting to see what is going on in her mind with all of this, and how she is holding up.
