abuseI'll have to go back and re-read this one sometime. I liked what I could understand of the ending, but I think I haven't read your stories for so long that I lost track of how to read your style. I could hardly tell what was going on in the last two chapters...

None the less, while details escaped me, the full picture was intriguing and generally awesome. Dusk shipping is the only way to go.

abuseWow. Just wow. I thought I would never be able to read this, but I proved myself wrong in a single setting.

It was a bit confusing in places and deeper than a bottomless cavern (*groan*), but perfect all the way through. The ending caught me by suprise though (and made me cry a bit too :().

I also really liked the way you portrayed Felix. I agree that he's a 'gritier' hero than Isaac and I'm happy that's how he came out, though you showed he also has moments of tenderness and supreme guilt.

You are truly an inspiration Sunny. I wish I could write as well as you.

abuseYou really are an exceptional writer, Sunny. I owe it to you for getting me into writing properly (and that was four years ago now!)
And this is no exception - a wonderful development from beginning to end - you've made Felix more multi-faceted than ever.
The Epilogue particularly really resolved all themes and ended wonderfully - beautifully, even. The fact that I felt all of those emotions running through Felix then, shows that this is a success of a creation.

(On a side note, I have to point out that it's 'Deus' Ex Machina, Deus meaning God).

abuseI truly enjoyed the epilogue. It tied all the ends together really well.

abusewow...thats all i can say, and this chapter completed it nicely, i believe...Maybe a sequel is in order? Like karst and Felix show back up in Vale...and what if Alex survived also? You have near endless possabilities for a sequel if you look.

abuseGreat edit. I understand what's happening now :D (The prior chapter left me very confused)

Looking forward to the next one!

abuseSo, let me get this right, Karst is alive...but only because of her Psynergy? and she is a ghost? Then how did she end up in that prison when she died in Mars Lighthouse?

abuseWhile I suppose a sad story every now and again is something called for, I don't feel like there's enough Felix/Karst to justify any tragedies... I suppose this isn't one technically but meh...

In any case, it's well written and an interesting story. I'd still like to see something more than a pining Felix, but I don't suppose I'll see that now will I? Regardless, I await extensions.

abuseNice chapter, Sunny. ^_^ I wish I had more time to leave a better review, but I have homework oy so I'll make this brief. You did a good job here with actually getting to the meat of the story, and although your prose sometimes seems to collapse with overintrospection/description, it sets a good tone for the story. The constant delusionary Karst sightings was nice, with the face on the other side of the flame, and the body leaning behind him especially. Looks like things may be wrapping up, so I look forward to seeing how it ends. ^_^

abuse^_^ It's fine, Sunny. I should've been reviewing anyway.
Anyway, good job with the chapter here - it's good to finally see some action being done - and you know, you're practically writing a mystery genre, here. (lolz, Sherlock Felix)
Good touch with Hamma's tone of voice being soft but like steel - it's good to see minor characters getting more development and attention like that - hell, you've been doing that the whole story, with her, the Chief, and the Fortune Teller.
Speaking of which, it's good to finally see Moapa laying the smackdown. He's the friggin' man.
Hm... even more on that mystery genre, I still don't see the connection (yet) between the cave there and Karst's death. Why is he tortured with that, of all things?

abuseM… the plot thickens further. You do irritatingly tantalizing hints very well. I still can’t tell where the plot is going. Which means the chances of me stopping reading this are a million to one. Congratulations.

The thing with the mountain and the spirits and the cave full of bad memories is… strange. The way the story’s going it kind of seems that the Shaman have been giving the cave the through it the mountain all their shame and guilt and sorrow and its somehow been building up there for years and years.

But why the illness and why now? Alchemy? Or something which somebody did to offend it?

… I still don’t get it.

Hope you have a happy New Year and please update soon.

abuseWell, Sunny, you asked for a review, so here it is. ^_^ And... I hate to say it, but I was a LOT confused from this chapter. It's kinda hard to tell what's going on, but are you saying that whatever's drawn on the cave walls gets cursed? Or something?

abuseI really like your story, particularly the way you’ve portrayed the relationships between the elements and the bias different people have towards them.

However, where Hamma is concerned I would have thought that she would have been more... understanding of the nature of the elements after the whole 'the world will freeze unless Mars Lighthouse is lit' thing. While I see that she wouldn't be likely to think poorly of Jupiter I somehow think she might take the idea of Mercury bring involved somehow more seriously. Perhaps I'm just more inclined to see it that way because I'm familar with stories about kelpies and ice witches and other werid watery things.

So far as the duskshipping is concerned, is Karst actually going to turn up in the story or is it just Felix angsting about her? It's hard to see how she and Felix could manage to meet face to face again as she's dead. Still, the mountain is werid and creepy...

Hope you're able to update soon.
