This was really good. REally.
(I'm reviewing several of your stories so that I can favorite them, BTW, that's why I'm leaving these short reviews.)

This was...this was amazing. Possibly my favorite fanfic from you. o_O. I love how you characterized Cyrus, and described Malistaire's sickness. I agree that he lost lots of potential because KI wanted him to be the "Stereotypical Evil Necromancer Villain," or S.E.N.V. tHis story was great. just...great :P

This is a very creative start to a lovely fanfiction. I have played the game wizard101 for five years, and it has never failed to amaze me. This seems like it will be an incredible story. I'll follow. :)

I understand now...Frendel is the best. ..

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god...

I am in love. Seriously. With this story. Oh em gee, this is fantabulous! :O :D I absolutely ADORE it all, especially the last sentence, a reverse of a point you'd made earlier in the story. Absolutely marvelous.

With that said, and PLEASE do not take this question as a hint at something negative, because it's not, but do you have a beta reader? I noticed a few itty-bitty grammar/punctuation errors as I was reading... Again, though, that's actually a really, really good thing; if I'm reading a story largely cause I promised I would, or something dutiful, uncertain or even maybe halfhearted like that, I won't catch those mistakes, simply because I'm just skimming through. Your story held onto my interest for dear life - or rather, vice versa - from the first line to the last. And that's a lot of lines. :)

It's *seriously* past my admittedly self-imposed bedtime, but I want you to know that I am wide awake and feeling positively inspired, even at this late hour. (Don't worry; I have nothing big to get up early for tomorrow morning, so I should be okay! Lol...)

By the way, I do disagree that canon!Cyrus would actually be a Necromancer, but listen, if anybody actually has a problem with that, I'd suggest explaining to them in no uncertain terms exactly what fanfiction is. By definition, IT IS NOT GOING TO BE CANON. EVER. :D Think of it this way, if you want: I have three Harry Potter fanfics, and the longest of these (and the one I've worked the hardest on, by far) has been flamed several different times on various fanfic sites because the characters are "too OOC." But honestly, if everyone were 100% IC in a story... Yeah, not even gonna finish that sentence. :P I picture Merle Ambrose, Capt. Avery, Draco Malfoy, Sam Evans, Erline, etc. differently than you do/would, and it's not because either of us have it wrong. It's because we both think for ourselves, as individuals with separate minds. Individuality brings about creativity, ingenuity, eccentricity, and difference of opinion alike. The way I see it, if members of a fandom want something new and free to read that satisfies their need for that fandom, they have two options: read fanfiction with the understanding that it will NEVER be equal to the original at every single point, or be depressed and/or bored and/or mean about it for basically the rest of their lives. :)

So don't worry. A little birdie (Gamma, perhaps? :P Or Hedwig?) told me you're especially proud of this story, as I believe you should be. It is magnificent. Be *very* proud of your job well done.

Have a great night, even though the "night"/PM portion of it is 17 minutes away from being over. So, I guess, have a good... um... Well, anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this review on your story, because I sure as heck enjoyed reading your story! :D Peace and cookies! (Long story... Lol!)

Yes... Just oh my god YES! I absolutely loves this story it was perfect and amazing. And I just wanted to thank you for the review on my story. I was literally leaping when I found out you were actually excited for more! You don't know how much that ment to me and thank you for every thing. But enough about me. I loved how this story had a little twist with Cyrus really being a Necromancer instead of a Conjure. I loved that you have no idea! Even though this was a one-shot story, I hope you would atleast consider writing more. I'm curious, why did Cyrus really lie? But I'm not forcing you, it was merely a suggestion.

Anyways goodbye for now!

P.S I'm working on my third chapter and have taken your advise under consideration. Just... Thank you so much :'D

I loved every thing about this story. It was written perfectly with a dark edge to help set the mood for the story. We get to see a new side to Ambrose, Cyrus and Malistaire, and finally the dragon haven. I love dragons and anything to do with them so the dragon haven wasn't hard for me to like that part of the story, and just getting to know about the dragon titans and their afterlife traditions was fun to read. I can't really point out any flaws in story (unless you're fine with people nitpicking even the smallest of flaws. In which case, you wrote "with" twice during the first sentence in Malistaire's letter) because it was all great! Love it down to every single letter!
