Elincias character was well developed. I enjoyed how you put a bit of your own touch in her personality.

Sephirans character was complicated, and I like that, the difficulty to read.

As for Calill...she just pushed it :P

Beautiful writing. The words just flow, no struggle, from what I read

Hey there, nice story. By the by, the link you put up in a reply to me in deviantART was most appreciated.

Hope to see more soon!

-Kiiroi

Great story! I loved this so much! *hugs story* I'm so going to read this over and over, your such a great writer, awesome job!

I read this before a while ago, but seriously ~ WOW. The depth of character is amazing, especially Elincia. This whole idea is so original, it is thought-provoking to read!

You HAVE to write another story! You a really good author! I think your original fiction you mentioned must be really good also.

An interesting begining - and you're a really good writer! seriously, I wish I could write as good as you .

Hey! I know you! lol _ This is Karimia and Obi from deviantART!

“If the choice is between getting killed and fighting dirty, choose the second,” he told her.

She picked up on this very quickly and proved it…by thrusting her armored heel into his groin.

-Ow, she picks lessons up fast though XP.

In fact, Ike still suspected them of playing matchmaker between the two of them. And, on their Wedding Day, the Mercenaries had wished him the best with Mist…ordering him to make her some nephews and nieces.

-She wants to be an auntie quick XD!

(21) Mia would be a very strange mom. Still, I can picture her hyperactivity being increased by the hormonal changes and her baby playing with a tiny rubber sword just seemed to fit. Some might object to her and Rhys getting married and having a child because most Clergy take vows of chastity and celibacy. But, there is no evidence that the same holds true of the Priests and Bishops of Ashera. So, who knows?

-The case is almost the same with Serra marrying off to Matthew/ Erk or Oswin, vows sure didn't/ can't stop her.

Haha, for a fic i never played for, I liked this little story. Thanks much to your great skill in writing iC characters and making good imageries. Now I'm just gonna be off and try to research more on Ike.

Calill was a sweet woman, but her insatiable ego could give anyone a World-Class headache.

-Even that's World-Class, huh?

Whoaho, my this is quite the alternate for how a hero will turn out. When Ike came back, I could somehow feel everything growing cold and scary...

Then, something strange happened. Elincia, as she began to rise, pecked him on the cheek. Then, just as suddenly, before Ike could comprehend the impulse, he rose and engulfed Elincia’s lips in a long kiss. When the two of them finally parted, it looked as if all their blood had migrated to their faces. Elincia, eventually, asked him why he did that and Ike told her the truth: it simply seemed like the right thing to do, and he wasn’t sure he’d ever get another chance.

- O_O...X3 Oh my~!

Then, he realized something else: the Greil Mercenaries had, in a way, answered the question of loyalty already. Titania had been…rather insistent that Ike learn how to waltz. Mist, who’d long since adopted Elincia as the older sister she’d never had, had pushed him, kicked him actually, into dancing with Elincia. Gatrie, Oscar, Boyd and Rolf had, during the later portion of the ocean voyage to Begnion, abruptly took it into their heads that Ike had a girlfriend. He recently overhead Rhys making a prayer to Ashera, and to Greil, that Ike might find happiness ‘wherever he may go.’ A number of books on politics and Court etiquette, which Ike knew to belong to Soren, had mysteriously found their way into Ike’s room. Even Shinon had, during a drunken rant, intimated that Ike liked Elincia. Greil was right, the Mercenaries were like his family: they loved him enough to let him go. (16)

-Yes, they're uberly supportive alright x3~!

Wehe, Falchion, I love your images and descriptions. They never fail! That kiss scene, I wanna turn to a comic if I've a chance but I also wanna draw Sephiran, possibly for the contest, though I can't seem to find his OA T_T.

This was a very interesting fanfic. It was well thought out and I am now fond of the IkeElincia pairing. I'm sure I have more to say, but it's midnight and I have classes tomorrow. Good night. *favs*

This is a very good story and I'm looking forward to a sequel comming soon. Please keep up the good work and don't mind the lazy bums who don't write reviews, I'm sure they like the story too.

P.S. YOU ROCK DUDE!

Fantastic story so far. Great detail and a high level of writing. The footnotes add entertaining detail, and all in all you've done a very good job.

One of the most professional fics I've read in a while.

I didn't know WHAT to feel while reading this. I was happy, interested, shocked, sickened, chilled, and overall, entertained. This was excellent. I hope you do continue to write fanfiction. Don't let yourself be discouraged because readers are too lazy to read something this long in so few chapters. I really loved this and I sincerely hope you continue.

This story is something that should be actually published instead of sitting around on a site like this. You have done an excellent job with this work. I commend you.

The detail of this story is impressive and the quality of writing even more so. Inspired by Julius Ceasar? As a Millitary Historian I find the parallels you are drawing quite interesting. You are right, all of this is scary. Could Geoffrey's fears be based on his lingering jealosy of Ike?

My only pet peeve. The size of the armies. Medieval (European) armies rarely reached sizes of MAYBE twenty-thousand at most. The vast majority of Medieval Armies, professional or otherwise, usually numbered only a few thousand on both sides.
