First, loved Hermes! I could hear his voice in my head!

I’m so excited to see what you do in the story (and how you interpret)

I completely understand you not wanting to use Attraction Flow. You making that decision though did make me realize that we never really got a cannon explanation as to WHY or HOW Spra can do Attraction flow. At least the KH2, and the other games, things like Drive Forms, Summons, and D-Links were canonically explained where as Attraction Flow wasn't.

Man, I don't think I know a single other author who leaves such deliciously long chapters. XD

Ah yes, let us not forget this strain between Aila and Sora because of Sora's traumatizing experience in the sleeping world. THAT'S still gotta be resolved.

Oh man, what the crap has this Heartless just done to Aila? Did KH3 have a confusion status effect? Can't remember. XD But oh crap, Aila falling into the river is going to majorly trigger Sora. Just watch...

GASP! A beam of light on her face? Celina, IS THAT YOU? ? ?

Hmmm, very peculiar what's going on with the voice and the effect it's having on Aila. That feeling she has of almost expecting to see a different person when she looks at herself...I wonder if Celina has ended up...merging with Aila to the degree that it's having these effects? I sign of Celina's eventual return?

Okay, so my theory is that the momen t in the river caused Celina to resurface a bit, if only somewhat. Not enough for things to be back to normal, but enough for Celina's past memories to start having a bit of an effect on Aila, especially in the sense of deja vu. I'd say we are now one step closer to seeing Celina resurface for good.

It seems we'll have much intrigue next chapter with the meeting with the gods. Let's see exactly what we learn about Celina. Here's hoping they DO know of a way to get her to resurface all the way.

:O Celina's been to Olympus! I wonder what that implies?

I hope she and Aila can get back in touch soon... it's tough being separated from a friend like that.

Well done! I love to see more frequent updates, but the amount of work you put into your story takes time. Hopefully until next time! I can't wait to see Aila at the Keyblade Graveyard (I know its kinda the end, but I'm curious what you have in store for your story)!

I’ll admit I’m actually curious about how all those fights from the game will be like without the attraction flow. I was completely on the edge when you wrote out Meg’s sacrifice in the last chapter. I’ve always wondered if there was a way of getting Herc’s strength back without needing her to put herself in extreme danger, but I suppose there wasn’t a safer loophole in this case. So relieved the guys were able to save her.
At the boys’ reaction to finding out Herc is a god, I couldn’t stop laughing! Seriously they knew him for how long and they had no idea?! I’m sure the topic never came up onscreen in the game but still! XD
I’ll admit I was kinda hoping the big fight with the other Titans were going to be in this chapter but now there’s something to look forward to in the next chapter! Plus Celina may be coming back! Can’t wait to read more and keep up with the great work as always! Be safe!

Thanks for the chapter. The grammar was great. I did not see a single error in sentence structure and the paragraphs were appropriately spaced. Now on to the highlights of the story as their are just to many good things in this chapter to name them all.

First off, love how the water core heartless gave Aila so much trouble. Not only was the land she was one small, her curse of not saying anything also effected her ability to cast spells. Meaning a quick zap with Thunder/Thundera was out. Meaning the fight was way harder and that rain stat they could hit you with greatly affected Aila because she was using so much light magic. This is deep combat.

Really enjoyed the part Aila just broke down laughing at the trio learning Hercules is the son of Zeus. It really is obvious to everyone in that universe but when you are with the three stooges that will walk into any trap, it doesn't sound to surprising. You would think almost being possessed by Zehnanort would have taught Sora to be more weary but he is still the 'open your heart' lovable goof we all know. (This does make me appreciate Megara/Meg a lot more. Losing her first love to death, giving up her soul to save him, only to be dumped by him, and spending the rest of her life helping Hades' evil plans. No doubt such a journey has made her quite intelligent.)

Also really enjoyed the evolution of the fight between Sora and Aila. With Aila no longer being able to yell or tell Sora he is being an idiot, she has to rely on charades and force to get through to him. Particularity liked how she pushed Sora when she was reallly angry.

Liked the call back to Yuffie's training. While the experience was hell for Aila, You will most likely always have your body as a weapon. Magic is more abstract.

Enjoyed the reactions to being in Olympus. While the story in HH3 left a little to be desired, the graphics and worlds were a joy to observe.

Thanks for taking the story off the beaten path and having the squad meet and rescue Hermes. It was a great call back to the film and led to an interesting revelation about Celina.

Agree with your choice in you Message at the beginning and end about not using the theme park rides. They are supposed to have limited magic, and summoning a giant ship out of know where, all while being invincible using it felt cheap. Even playing the game, I would turn off rides as they would come up far to easy.

This next part is more suggestion, but when the squad has a moment of rest, would love for Aila to ask Donald about what are the symptoms of using too much magic and how do they compare and contrast to using too much of Aila's light power?

*blinks* Wow I wasn’t expecting an update so soon but I’m not complaining. It’s so long too, I’m amazed. Ooh, I’m so excited, we’re in Olympus! The end of the world approaches. And hopefully (I’m pretty sure) Aila will actually be able to talk soon! (Tho I will say, the way she spells sorry on Sora’s hand is absolutely adorable, especially when Donald’s like, “I thought she was gonna spell Sora” lmao)

Seriously, I keep thinking Celina died for Aila’s sake but you just keep twisting it like, “oh no, that ain’t what’s happening” and I just wanna know. XD This divide and frustration between Sora and Aila. I know I said this last chapter and I know you said it’ll happen eventually, but I’m still yelling at Sora to just tell Aila wtf is going on lol. I just can’t help it. I didn’t make the rules.

See you in the next chapter!

Finally seeing updates flowing out after months makes me extremely happy! I hope your doing great and so glad your not including those dumb amusement park rides, I never liked them as well!

I'm also looking forward to getting out of Hercules's world, it was always kind of boring to me, I wanna see more Vanitas lol!

Well, I gotta say, I like the turn you're giving this story. Adding Hermes, Celina's Deja Vu,the drama, the fights. Honestly, I'm very excited as to HOW they're going to fight the other titans. I'm very weirded out at the fact that Aila is densely handicapped with no Magic, no Light, and just her base Skills. Honestly makes me wish she had a Keyblade or something that would help help her even more. Oh! I hope that they find the Smith God's forge. That'll provide Goofy (or Aila) a new shield!

Awesome chapter! Can’t wait for more!

Hey, I was finally able to read this chapter early in the morning but couldn't review as I had to get ready for work. Don't worry about your update schedule, everyone has been affected this year one way or another. We love your story but we wouldn't like for your to drain yourself. That being say...

I shook my head when Aila tried to execute her "plan" as I could see her flaws but thankfully Meg catch up to what she was planning. Glad, that Aila knowing things didn't cause a wedge between Hercules and her like it did with Phil. The good thing with the necklace around her neck is that she doesn't have to explain herself.

Love Sora defending his little sister Aila from Phil's remarks. I do hate seeing him down for not having the same strength and abilities as previous games. However, it is realistic as anybody would feel down.

You know yesterday and early morning I was stressed due to some things I needed to do for my job. Reading your chapter took my mind off my worries and transport me back to the years when I was younger with no worries in the world

Thanks for the update and hope you update soon.

Yaay its alliiiiive! I've been looking forward to this fanfic to come back lol! Enjoyable as always!

*drags myself slowly across a desert of actual good fics in my favorites that haven't been updated since February or March*

"Updates...Uuuuuuuuppppdatesssss..."

*Sees the update for this fic in the distance like a beautiful oasis and I scramble toward it, overjoyed to have something good to read for once*

In all seriousness though, this was a really good chapter. I always love getting news from Nomura because then I think about how you can incorporate it into the sory later.

Yay! You're not dead! I don't have a lot to say about this chapter, but it was a good one. Hopefully the next one won't take months to update.
