omg this is awsome, If this wasn't already a game this could be a freakin' book. It's too bad about the long wait for an update though.

Nice Story so far!

At first I thought that was some sort of retelling of the game, but I'm glad to see that you're story has taken it's own direction.

I must say, there are many awesome figthing scene, especially the excellent written hydra attack. And you have a very desciptive way to picture the enviroments and the situations as well. Also, it is very pleasant to read!

The only thing that bothers me is, that you're story is too plot-driven for my taste. Sometimes you could allow your charakters some rest to go into their emotional world. I mean: despite the fact, that Sareth is some sort of unholy messiah with demonic powers, he is a healthy, young man who is surrounded by two beautiful women, who fight for his attention. And unlike the game, they know of each other (awesome idea, by the way!).I mean; what is he thinking? How is he dealing with it?
I'm sure, there are plenty of ways for you to deal with that situation, humorous or dramatic ways. The bed scene for example was a nice beginning. I hope to read more of it in the (near? ;-) ) future!

So, please don't do the same mistake as the Arcane Studios: they took Valve's Source Engine , which has a brillant facial-animation-system to show emotions and they didn't use that certain strength of it.

Oh, and don't let it get you down, that there are so few reviews. That's propably because the game hasn't it's own section at FF; your story was really hard to find. But it was worth it!

So: keep up the good work and I hope you update soon!

And sorry for my bad English. I try my best! ;-)

Yay! Another exciting chapter! I love this story so much. When is he going to find out about his demon powers? AGH! I can't wait for the next chapter.

It is good to see you haven't abandoned the story and in fact have updated as well.

The chapter was good, but be mindfull of spelling errors; I counted quite a few throughout the chapter.

Ah, another chapter gone. Eaten up in a fury of reading. Well done.
This is a great story, and I'm glad to see you're back. This story is very exciting, the plot enticing, the characters believable. I look forward to reading more from you.

-Darth

No! No! Please don`t stop dead now!

Very good fic! I love the way you've captured the story between Dark Messiah and Heroes of Might and Magic. Even the characters seems right to me.

I look forward to reading more from you,

your loyal reader
bob

ps you got one dark sense of humor, i like it

...Brilliant. I could not have been more impressed with a story so far. Everything that you write in this story simply makes me want to read more. It's captivating. It's also on of the best stories I've read so far. The game was good, but you gave it meaning, feeling, something that would entice you and make you keep on reading. The plot is thrilling. The peoples that you have populated this world with are believable. Just the whole thing is incredable. The way that you're devoloping the plotline, the depth that you give these characters, it's just mind boggeling. I like how you're not unwilling to describes scenes. The battles flow smoothly and the non-battle things give you information that you want and need.I think that you have a very gifted talent as an author. As I've only written one story myself, and it wasn't 1/4 as long as this, I know that it's a pretty big job to do. I admire your persistance and your dedication.
There are only a few things that I noticed. There a few spelling mistakes, and I don't know if some of your wording fits in places. But other than that, this story is just plain delicous, alomost as much as food! (and I'm a big fan of food)
Can't wait till the next chap! So excited!

Cool! Please update a little sooner next time (cheacking on your story has been one of my first things to do in the morning this past month)
I really love how the story is progressing, and the interactions between Xana and Leanne was somthing i missed in the game.
I cant comprehend why you dont get more reviews, cause you deserve far more credit than i can give you.
Well too bad, just know that your story is highly praised by me and a lot of my friends.
Please update soon!

This is incredible! (fav story, fav author,)
You've really done a good work with the characters, and besides some minor insignificant misspellings, the story is fabulously written.
Though i don't think Xana is a succubus in the original game...
Definitely a demon of some kind, but not a succubus.
Never mind that, i seriously love the scene in the bath, its fantastic to perfection.
Please update soon, we need some good Dark Messiah fictions about.

For a while there I wasn't sure if you still were written this. I am glad to see that you are. good job on the chapter nice length.

A foul hydra huh? Sounds like trouble. can't wait to see what happens next.

Well the story is very good,actually is great!
But untill i see the final part(btw, when is going to be placed on internet?)i wont say anything else
So go to work and finish the story! :P
Best of all,
AleX

An interesting fic. Keep it up!

Oh my... A Dark Messiah story? Not only that, but what appears to be the only Dark Messiah story on the site is a good one too? What are the odds? At any rate, this story has been really interesting so far and I certainly intend to keep an eye on it for updates.

The fact that you've essentially reworked the majority of the Dark Messiah plot seems to have actually been a good thing so far. The world you've been building in this story has more depth, races, and politics than the one in the game. I have no experience with the other Might & Magic games so if you've blended Dark Messiah with others I have no way of knowing but, regardless of origin, the end result is that it works.

This story looks like it's heading in a Sareth/Xana direction as far as relationships go, which I find highly relieving. I don't know why, but personally I really couldn't stand the original Leanna. Xana made it oh so fun for me to be bad. The Xana in your story is quite different than what we saw in Dark Messiah, but I still find her character to be far more enjoyable than Leanna's, even if she doesn't seem to be as 'evil' or manipulative as the original.

Blech, there's probably a lot more I could cover in this review but I'm tired and have to wake up for a class in six hours. So, I'm afraid this will have to do for now. Till next chapter then.
