 Heart of the Demons 2009-05-08 . chapter 1What a spectacular "W.I.T.C.H." one-shot. Miranda, having served under Phobos, repents for her crimes, and dear Elyon grants her release, even though Miranda pretended to be Elyon's friend. But not everyone is as forgiving as Elyon, oh, no. Through bathtime, eating, and drinking, she faithfully pledges her services to Elyon and becomes a *real* friend. Of course, she's made friends with Nagadir, Elyon's maid, also. I'd give this a 10 out of 10. |
 Sokai 2009-05-08 . chapter 1Ah, nice to bump into you again, Robert. And, this time, for a W.I.T.C.H. fic. ^_^
Honestly and overall, I rather enjoyed it, and thought it simple, yet effective in the overall story/plot's conveyance. However, about the only thing I had qualms over was the whole oh, you'll have to wear this collar and do as I say, when I say, or else go live in the kitchen quarters and do what THEY say, like Miranda's some pet of Elyon's rather than the so called friend she'd so yearned for, apparently.
And I don't like how she'd taken away her shapes shifting abilities which, according to you and your little back story, is as much a part of Miranda as the air one breathes. It just doesn't make any sense, especially since Elyon was apparently so up to date with Miranda, how she felt, practically what she thought, and how she'd truly reformed and was remorseful.
If that's the case, then why bother to put the freaking collar on her as precautionary measures?? You'd even written how Elyon, even though within the dark and dank prison area, wasn't afraid because she could easily take care of herself with her immeasurable powers.
Just saying, all of that really bothers me, probably more than it should, lol, because friends don't do that. True friends. And even if they'd screwed up royally (no pun intended), and granted a FEW conditions may be laid out, they shouldn't be like THIS, where you basically have to do as I say, or else, queen or NO queen. She wouldn't treat any of the Guardians that way if they'd lived in Metamoor with her or in general, so she shouldn't treat Miranda, someone she so called missed so dearly, that way, either.
Anyway, I get what you were trying to convey in this redemption-like story, and really did find it enjoyable and some parts touching, but as I'd said multiple times already, that whole collar and explicit guidelines is a tad irksome to me.
Still, at least, into the faves it goes. ^_^ |
