Now THAT was a story. Beautifully woven, with wonderful OCs (my gosh, I love Sivya so much, good Christian representation is rare), a tragic villain, good use of Yu-Gi-Oh lore and filler, and really cute ships. Everything was well-researched and well-written, bar a couple grammar or spelling mistakes that nonetheless didn’t detract from the story. Not to mention the character development for, say, Seto. All in all this was a wonderful read and a perfect way to imagine everyone’s stories wrappung up, thanks for sharing!

Although I'm happy that Marik got rid of his yami, I'm sad that Odion has fallen once more! I feel bad for Marik, since he has to relive that all over again. I can't wait to see how Midas gets knocked off his high horse!

I love how Marik was struggling to come to grips with his growing feelings for Sivya, but I'm sad that she was kidnapped right in front of him. I can't wait to see how his and Tabitha's end game will be!

I loved all of the Marik scenes, especially when you had put "He always had more pants." I can't wait to see his and Sivya's relationship will grow and how his impending meeting with Tabitha will turn out. Reading on!

I loved the scene between Marik and Sivya! And like you had stated earlier in the chapter (Marik being shirtless) a big two thumbs up! I love how you're portraying him along with everyone else in this story. They're all down to earth and easy to understand. Enjoying everything so far! I was scared that poor Marik was going to lose his soul to the seal, but I hope that he doesn't end up that way.

I already love this new character, she's fascinating~ Wonder what happened to her face?

Omigoshhhhhhhh

I have no idea why it's taken me so long to finally start reading this, everyone's told me to do it and I keep procrastinating and now I'm just mad I haven't started sooner!

Your first section is utterly goosebump-inducing, that whole section is just wow. Fascinating and eerie and beautiful and totally sets the mood. I love what you do with Marik; he's so much more chipper now that he's free! And Ishizu with reading glasses is like PERFECT thank you for that image

And your history stuff is just hnnngh, thank you for doing research and slipping things in, as a history loving nerd it just enriches the entire experience of the story. I can't wait to read what happens to Marik now that he's got an Orichalcos stone!

dammit Dartz XD can't wait to see what happens next

this looks like an interesting story! I'll make sure to read all of it!

Mei hit Dartz. It is rude to hit girls.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...yes, i suppose she is rather more normal than others in yugioh...if somewhat naive...but what does one expect when you live in teh desert til lyour eighteen?

Man. What can I say that summarizes all that I feel about this story?

You did an absolutely excellent job with this story, each and every chapter kept me on the edge of my seat. And each chapter destroyed my feels at least one time each if not two or three. What you did to bring in the legend of Arthur and Odysseus, I found that incredibly intriguing. All the history you brought in I was absolutely fascinated by, so I will say, very well done indeed.

I had a great time reading this story. This is honestly one of the best ones I have read on this site. Clean writing, well-flowing plot line, great chapter cliffhangers and endings, the list could go on forever.

I will definitely be keeping this story on my favorite list for many years to come. Also, let me add in that this last chapter had me dying with laughter! I'm not kidding, I was in a movie theatre when I finished the epilogue and I just lost it! My friends had to slap me silly a few times to get me to calm down, but it was worth it. There are no words to describe how crazy I was feeling (how much I wanted to laugh) when Kaiba caught the bouquet of flowers. I literally aww'd when he handed it to Ishizu as well, and then my eyebrows went up a few times.

I also found all the interactions between the male characters quite humorous, and how the females responded to it in this chapter (particularly where Tea explained why they shouldn't leave the boys alone), ah, that got another round of laughter. As did the part where Ryou flung grapes and the noses of Duke and Yuugi (I will be honest right now in saying I actually pictured that happening and it almost killed me).

Anyways, I think that I'll stop here because I don't want my rambling to continue on forever. All in all, very well done with this story. It is an absolute great read, and I will send the link to my friends so they can read it because I have no doubt they will enjoy it.

Keep on writing!

I really loved this story!

what what what WHAT. How did I miss the last three chapters for reviews? HOW. Okay, now I'm fixing that particular problem because OOPS I THOUGHT I HAD REVIEWED.

Bless you Tristan. Shattering illusions left and right, there you go. No, but I'm intrigued by all the cultural influences that Atlantis had. If I'm remembering things rightly I think Atlantis came before all of these cultures, so this would be a fascinating melting pot of history here (and one Rebecca's grandfather would die for in a heartbeat).

CACKLES INSANELY LOUD AND RUBS HANDS TOGETHER BLESS ALL THE POLARSHIPPING.

MARIK YOU GOOFBALL. As Aaron said, "Smooth." I'm also laughing at Ryou, because eating while fighting seems like something he'd do. I can just picture this doofus with a granola bar halfway out of his mouth and just casually ducking the monster before hitting him with Shadow Magic. Bless you, Ryou. Also, YAY SIVYA for using her whooping stick on the evil scary soldiers.

Midas...wow, he's scary under the mask, but like Yugi I find I pity him more than I hate him. Those wounds had to have hurt (gee, thanks Captain Obvious Kohaku), but still. Buuuuuut that doesn't make him any less of a villain and he's still oh-so-formidable. The scenes involving the god cards and the Leviathan were also very well thought out, so kudos there!

Gotta love Aaron. "Pistol-whippin' time!" is now one of my favorite lines of his. And now the knights are here!...but Dartz collapsed, oh dear. Maybe it's too much energy spent?

...

*holds out grape* This represents my heart. *next lifts up brick* This represents your chapter.

*drops brick on grape*

Well...all I can say now is "rest well, King Dartz". No, that's not tears I just have a peanut in my eye. But now that they've beaten back the Orichalcos and destroyed the Leviathan, shouldn't it be about time to make an exit, stage right? I would imagine that it would sink back into the sea without the -

aaaaand I was right RUN BOYS!

Sorry about the delayed review on this part! I'll try to get the others reviewed as well (still can't believe I didn't review them, OI VEY)

Kohaku

I have never read a fanfic and been so... emotional over it. Wonderful job Ms. Skyes. Wonderful job
