Now this... This was a right gripping tale if I've ever seen one. I would recommend this story as an exemplar of character development.
Though please, don't forget to set its status to 'complete'.

So Cardin doesn't want to do the things he does? Or is it more like his subconscious.

Jeez this is some hardcore sh*t

This should be good

Maybe I'll check out your previous fics in the meantime. I'm not the biggest Pokemon fan, but good stories are worth a read.

Reading the workload Cardin has to deal with already made me feel tired. And if it wasn't already a chore for him, I can how it must be to do it one-armed. But at least Vale

I'm glad to see Mercury is doing well, Yang and Ruby too (oof... One-eye Ruby was always a badass idea, but I bet no one imagined her face could get messed to almost (MARVEL)Jigsaw levels of ouch).

That's quite the ending. This as been a great ride, certainly a memorable fic for me.

That was some fresh air for the rwbyfandom, good story and good writing.

All I have to say is thank you for this story it was fun read through it all i hope you counting writing story if you can.

This means that is going to be a sequel?

I don't suppose you'll write any stories involving Cardin or CRDL anytime soon, will you? Either way, this story is one of the best I have read. Hope you are doing okay in these crazy times. Thank you for this amazing story.

This was a great story mate and if you ever do think of a sequel I reckon it'd be recieved with open arms here. Nice work mate

Can't believe this has only 277 reviews. This is story is one of the craziest stories uploaded to this site and every time I come back to it I cant believe how high quality it is. I hope after the epilogue for this one you continue to bestow gifts like this story to the rwby community. Of course only if you feel up for it but I just wanted to say if you have more ideas that you are interested in writing about there are people who would definetely look forward to it. Amazing work

To your response: I like your version more, and sadly you're right. We can't get what we want...

The aura stealing Grimm being capable of it thanks to Watts addresses a problem I had with the show. If Salem could make a Grimm like that, why didn't she make a perfect humanoid Grimm for the job (or do steal it herself)? This makes keeping Cinder around (even though she has failed a lot) make sense, as valuable asset (at the moment) that is not so easily to replace (but in the show, Salem could totally get a new Maiden for the job).

I'm on the same boat as Salem, I hope to see Cardin survive and get an idea of how would his Vale be (if he does live).

Can't believe that after this we get the Epilogue!

Ruby being the last of the Silver Eyes was always a headcanon I like. One eyed Ruby would be badass (and I would be surprised if Ruby doesn't lose an eye in canon).

This has been quite the wild ride.

Hot damn I was on the edge of my seat with this chapter. No grammatical errors from what I've seen and looks pretty good. Looking forward to see how the next chapter plays out and wonder what the next project you'll work on after this?

Holy shit... Cmon rubes...

Not too bad news, that's good.
It was epic, probably my favorite moment of the fic (how the Wyvern died).

I like Hazel, so getting some really good dialogue that explores more of his motives and morality is really cool.

Good to see the teachers (that we know) are at least alive (with no missing limbs).

I can't wait for the end, anything could happen at this point.
