This is fantastic. I'm going to go off and read whatever else of yours I can find on the site. You write with elegance and skill and your characters are believable and three-dimensional. One question: have you read the Illuminatus! trilogy, or is the stuff about the Apple of Discord and the Erisians' connection to the Illuminati more common knowledge than I thought? I haven't seen Gargoyles in many a long year, so I'm not up on what esoteric mythology they use in the episodes.
