Reaaaally hope you complete this masterpiece. Been waiting for an update for little over 2 years now though. Pleaasseee finish it!

Had to read all of the chapters before I went to review . I just love the pairings - I like your story . I really wish you could be able it )

Juuuust posting to remind you that... us readers are still waiting for an update
heh, though I doubt mi request will be considered, as it's been, hell, a lot of time since the last update.
Rally wish great stories like this would have an ending, I find lots of authors getting less and less time to finish theit masterpieces and it just makes me ssssad.
still, if you get to read this, you have my thanks for such a great story!

Again, sorry for not leaving a review...

I Rather like this one so far, ye have done a good job of... uh... "realising" (hoping that makes sense) the way it would be if it were real.

The couple's work well, and Zelos is FINE don't worry about miswriting him, its been two years, lots of crap has happened, and... he wasn't a bad dude to begin with, didn't like him much for awhile on my first playthrough, he was being WAY to 'nice" lol and Collete could act better. The way you write him however, He actually comes of as a "good guy" instead of the guy people love to hate :/

Again, Keep up the good work, and I hope to see more of this :)

Okay, so I've been meaning to review but I've just been too busy RUSHING TO THE NEXT CHAPTER. :D Firstly, may I say the plot is coming together beautifully. Full of twists and turns, uprising romances, mysterious figures, it's all brilliant! I also need to add: I adore your writing style! It's so descriptive, I can practically feel everything they do, the pain, the happiness, the confusion, the sorrow. Only a true author can control the way a reader reads, and my friend you've done just that.

Also, I have to talk pairings XD Okay, so I'm just starting here. I am a HUUGE fan of Genis x Presea, I nearly started bawling at Genis' sacrifice. Very well played, harnessing Presea's feelings through a traumatic experience and allowing her to see maturity within him. If you didn't have that scene in there my life would not have been complete. THAT was the scene I've been waiting to read for that pairing! I'm not even joking, I've read over 60 Genis x Presea stories...but none were quite good enough. You, however, nailed it. Congratulations :) Next, Colette and Zelos. I'll admit, I never really accepted Colette with anyone but Lloyd. However, (take this as an incredibly large compliment) you have totally changed my views around. Not only can I accept it, I embrace it. The way you work their roles, keeping them in character but giving them a little added growing space...just, wow, great job. If this were anyone else, I would have shunned it, but the way you wrote it just makes it seem like they were made for each other. Lloyd and Sheena: I never minded this one, but as I mentioned I've alway liked Lloyd and Colette better, however now...you've confused me! I don't even know! The way you write makes it seem so...REAL! Like that's the way it's supposed to be. I'm actually supporting them now XD Curse your manipulative writing abilities! XP Thank The Lord you liked Genis x Presea, I wouldn't be able to take missing out on your amazing writing with that pairing. Regal and Raine: I've always been "ehhh" on this couple. You know what's coming now. Of course I ship the couple now. I love how you played up Raine loosing her memory, I'm curious to see how that will play out - poor Regal.

I need to talk on Tasogare now. Great character you've invented! She's so plausible, a great new plot element. It's refreshing to see you throwing some originality in there and coming out with a great character. I love the mystery you push on her; I want to keep reading and find out more!

As a total review for the story so far, I can sum it up in one word:

WOW.

I can't wait to read more. You are quite the gifted author, my favorite on this site in fact. I'm so happy you have plenty more chapters ahead for me to feed on, hopefully you will finish/have finished this story! I can already tell it's one I'll go back and read multiple times afterwards. Thank you very much for posting!

PS I'm on chapter six, I think the thingy up there says this was a review for chapter one. I have no idea why, sorry XD

PPS I actually have a prediction. Is that "Death" dude in the beginning...Lloyd? Perhaps? No idea. XD MUST KEEP READING! See ya

Okay Sky, all I could say is that this chapter and what I heard at the end of your notes are...AWESOME! Realy I mean it. Sure we haven't talked in a bit but seriously I value what you did in fanfiction and such. Especially given me a story that's worth reading and reviewing. Not to mention how well you did with every one of the ToS characters as well as OCs. Now on with the review!

Okay seriously I was freaked out seeing this part of the chapter given that Lloyd faced the Living Armor and saw his friends being killed one by one...only to find out that he was under a spell. A Nightmare that has his deepest fears and such. Nice touch with using the name of the world tree to help him break out of it...not to mention using the Eternal Sword. I was wondering when we get to see it in action. But the way Lloyd used it, it was really brutal. Especialy against a high leveled demon. But at the aftermath of the battle is what got to me. Especially given that Lloyd was relieved about seeing his friends alive and well...mostly with Sheena. Heh talk about romantic moments. But it would seem that Sheena doesn't want to confess how much Lloyd means to her...but at least she's being more open about it now along with the others. Not to mention that she could wait a bit more. But she HAS to confess sooner or later given that Lloyd's not as dense as he used to be anymore. I guess we'll have to see.

Now on with Zelos, Colette, and Tasogare, it's really intense and dramatic between the female angel and red head. Talk about a duel of guts and wills between the two. But got to give this to
Zelos for he really knows when to walk away when he challenged Tasogare like that and all for Colette. That's really sweet in its own way. But he does seem to shiver a bit given the words that she spout out and that even gets me to shiver. However it's good that Zelos was able to walk away. That goes to show that, despite most of the games and fan fiction going on, that Zelos is a good and brave man and would do whatever it takes to protect those he loves not to mention stand up to anyone who does harm to those he loves. I could see that Colette's brought out more of Zelos than we thought. XDDD

And finally, the confrontation with the Summon Spirit of the Underworld himself...Nebilim. You really went all out with his appearance as well as his personality. Heck honestly I could feel a bit more than tension when the group talked with him. Especially given how each reacts towards Nebilim's words and presense. Presea mostly given that she's got more contact with the demonic lord more so than any of the group. Even his physical appearance is enough to intimidate the group...reminds me a bit of a scary movie. Joking aside, Lloyd seemed to stand his ground against the Summon Spirit of Death...despite having his heart being jabbed with the mention of Mithos. Glad that they're going to get a pact with Nebilim...only thing is that he's demanding that Presea face him. Oh man, I totally saw that coming since reading this and the last chapter.

All in all, I could see that the next chapters are going to get more intense than I could ever think possible. Especially given what I just learned from this one. I want to see how Presea would be handling this one. And not only that, but I got to see what happening between Zelos, Colette, and Tasogare. I want to see how their relationship would turn out...not to mention get more juicy secrets to know about her. I know that this isn't the first time that the female angel would drop her guard in this case. That said, I would love to see what's next. Good work. Laters!

P.S.
Skywolf, mind if I could hear an email from you? I hope that you are doing okay. Laters.

Holy. Freaking. Cow. I am speechless. :O Your descriptions, your plot, your fluff! *passes out from awesomeness* How you described Presea's feelings (I am the biggest Gesea shipper ever) was PERFECT. And even though I like Colloyd, I'm beginning to like Shelloyd just from your story! Same with RegalxRaine. You my friend, are extremely gifted. This is my favorite ToS fanfic so far, and I've read...102? Legit. Not even lying. This is what i do with my spare timeXD oh im a loser. Keep up the great work!

Okay Sky, first of all, it's been long since the two of us talked and such and really we got some catching up to do. Secondly life's been against me but sometimes with me. Mostly with my cold but it happens. Anyways on with the review.

For Lloyd, Sheena and the rest of their friends, I'll be brief. Man, despite having to train a bit under the pressures of demons and such, they all managed to get back to their physical peaks. Though I could sense some tension a bit. Mostly between Sheena and Lloyd for when the two helped one another out as well as kiss in front of their friends. Personally I think it could be inappropriate but at the same time it felt right to have the kiss there. If not for their deep situation, Sheena and Lloyd could be seen as a regular young couple just barely releasing their bottled up feelings with one another. Now I'm worried about what it is that the group would be facing in the next level of the Demonic Realm of Niflheim. Especially given what Lloyd said about Nebilim hating everything around him in general, not just angels. Whatever it is it's only going to get tougher from there.

So this chapter...man it really brings out what you said at the end of your Author's Notes. You managed to show just how frail Colette is in this arc and not just in this chapter but in the previous chapters as well. I mean ever since having the spell on her, the blonde puppy seemed to be doing more than ever to put up a brave face. Something that Zelos could easily see through given what he's went through to hide under his own mask throughout his time as a Chosen himself. Especially given that he could see that Colette's really hurting inside from that nightmare she experienced. But not only that, but hurting that she saw Tasogare, for the first time that she meant the cold angel, really suffering. But I have to say that I agree with Zelos for when he says that she should stop trying to help Tasogare despite the pain she's in. All in all, this was a really good way to bring out the most vunerable part of Colette's character that the game mostly hints at and also very steaming too given the way that she and Zelos almost made out despite the place that they're in. XDDD. Good touch to lighten up the mood a bit.

Okay now finally to the main topic...Tasogare herself. Seriously the way she reacted towards Colette's helping hand is something that I really really really did not expect from the emotionless angel...well, now angry angel. Especially given how she reacted by trying to attack the Blonde puppy and such. And all because of seeing the image of a dead baby crawling up to her legs and speaking to her about her letting the baby die. NOW it all starts to make sense to where I get to my main point for the female angel. She doesn't plan her own demise as well as that of Mithos and Auin due to self hatred alone. No, she plans to die by Lloyd's hand because of something in her past that involves that baby that I read about. I wonder what's the connection with that newborn baby. Was it the child of Tasogare? That would most likely be the case. If so, what exactly happened? I'm betting that it must've involved her insane brother Auin and Mithos as well as her part in being the failed vessel of Martel. Like a sacrifice for compensation for her failure and living? And if so, is it part of her own personal vendetta as well as secret guilt eating away at her? And what does the story teller have to say given that he's her GRANDFATHER after all? I guess we'll find out in more chapters. But one thing's for sure: Those secrets are going to come out one way or another and Tasogare's going to do it when she LEAST expect it.

All in all...this chapter is totally awesome, Skywolf. It got me into my seat wondering what's happened to the characters as well as learning more about them than I should. I wonder what's going to happen to the group next and how they're going to deal with Nebilim himself when the time comes? That I'm most eagar for and...how long is this arc going to be anyways? I can't wait to see how it's going to be like when it's near done and to the finale. Keep up the good work Sky and hope to hear from you soon.

Okay now I could see this new chapter is really intense and also bloodied given what I've just read onto the chapter. Especially given what I saw from the two parts in Niflheim. And the title of the chapter seemed to fit the characters well. Given the scary atomsphere and such, it's loaded with tons of goodies.

Now with the two and a half angels, Colette seems to be suffering from a demon induced spell that brought out their greatest fears. Not to mention the fact that it managed to bring even Tasogare to her knees. Especially the gorey part of Colette trying to literally rip her ears out of her sockets. Oh man whatever Colette saw and heard in her head must've really been bad to effect her that bad. Especially given that it must have something to do with her former duties as Chosen and having to keep all of her internal pain inside. I wonder what it was that got even Tasogare shook up? Whatever it was that shook her up, it was enough to get Zelos to notice. And speaking of our favorite red head, he really is so protective of our adorable and kind blonde puppy. But you did a good job with making him this protective of Colette as well as showing the kind side to his personality. I find it actually comforting and adorable in its own way.

Okay now with the others and their way into Niflheim, they all seem to ahve a hard time getting into the realm with the Hell Knight just in their way. Especially given that the demon managed to give them all a very very hard time with allowing the group to rest. And after the battle, it would seem that the dark lord Nebilim is not going to allow them some peace. Especially given that the group is going deeper and deeper into his domain. Now for the group themselves. Seems they all know how to relax and heighten their moral given what they've all been through. Given that Raine was able to recover her mana quicker than her little brother did was something of a miracle itself. Probably from her elven magic that her mother give to her given that it was special after all. Hmmm. But honestly to me I think it's something deeper than that. Anyways, seem both Sheena and Lloyd are keeping their heads together despite the situation.

But with Presea, it would seem that she's still having a hard time with coping with being in the Demonic Realm. Especially given that she once was being on the verge of being the dark lord Nebilim once and given how she shivers, it doesn't seem that Presea that has recovered from the experience. But a good thing that Genis was there to help her through it. Not to mention that this empathisizes more on how much Genis and Presea's relationship is growing. With how Genis nearly died at the hands of Tasogare's hitmen, it's no wonder.

All in all this chapter was definitely worth the wait for me to read. Especially given what I'm seeing with how the group is going to deal with going deeper into Nebilim's domain. What surprises await them and what secrets can be found. And more importantly...What was it that got Tasogare so scared that she'd risk drawing a sword that could very well destroy her before Lloyd could? No doubt it has something to do with her past and it's going to bit her in the butt faster than Zelos could pick up a new date on Saturday night. XDDD And also would Zelos be able to handle taking care of two angelic Chosen females that are no doubt going to suffer their own insecurities and fears? Good job Sky and hoped to see you soon.

Maurice A. Nigma

Okay first of all I'm going to say that I hope that you have a happy holidays for you Meg. Especially given that you managed to finish this chapter done before the holiday season. XDDD Anyways on with the review.

So that said, this is going to be short. And all I could say in this chapter is that it's really scary and tense given. Especially given that they're all going to the depths of hell itself to gain a pact with the Summon Spirit of Death himself. Nebilim. Already they're feeling scared about going to the Demonic Realm and they just only got to the entrance. Man Presea must've had it rough given that she was once inhabited by the spirit of Nebilim himself. But also nice touch with having references and thoughts about the possession of a spirit passing on information and knowledge to the host body. Like how you mentioned Sheena and Colette's own possessions about Mithos and Martel respectively. Not to mention the thoughts they all have of WHY Nebilim would forbid Chosens from coming to his realm to begin with. But given how Mithos was the one who just screwed the Dark Lord over due to not getting his sister ressurrected, it makes sense. Man. Especially now that Zelos, Colette and Tasogare are left behind and gave the rest of a group an unfair advantage...not to mention Colette getting some strange torture from hearing a voice that caused her to nearly pull her ears out. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Now there's some things that got my mind with mostly Tasogare and Lloyd. Now seems that Lloyd has gotten some grip of what he was told about Tasogare's helpful actions to the group. Especially with healing and saving Genis as well as the time when the female angel saved female stranger with a child from her deranged brother Auin. Not to mention the way his feelings are conflicted with the way of how much he would hate Tasogare and the Desians at what they've been through not to mention hurting Sheena for their own selfish goals. Not only that, it would seem to me that he's starting to understand how the Dark Lord felt being imprisoned along with Sheena. Ugh.

All in all, very good and yet creepy chapter put here. I could only imagine what it would be like from there given the horrors that's yet to come. I would no doubt that it's not going to be pretty and it'll bring out the darkness from within our favorite group in the clutches of Nebilim's realm and what would happen to Presea at that point. Not to mention Colette, Zelos, and Tasogare given the end. I could only imagine that it won't be pretty.

So that said, have a happy holidays to you, Sky and hope that you celebrate it well. Laters!

Maurice A. Nigma

Okay first of all sorry for keeping you waiting on the review, Sky. Just that in my university, it's been getting hard for me. Especially in terms of getting unwanted and unneeded surprises for me to handle. Got a mental breakdown because of it too. So don't worry about putting up a chapter late. It's cool given your computer and all. Anyways on with the review but I'll do what I can to do a good review.

Okay got to say that this latests chapter the you've put up is one chapter that was worth waiting and also one that got me on the edge of my seat. Especially given that the aftermath of Auin's attack really got to the group. But that aside, they now know of Tasogare's true origins and how she came to be. Especially with her being a failed Chosen. Of course that doesn't still explain her true motives about why she does stuff that she did which is questionable to the group but it's clear that she doesn't want to share anything with them. I'll give my own opinion on her motives in a moment. Given how Zelos nearly lost his sister and how she lead those Desians on seperate attacks along with manipulating Lloyd to do what she wants, no wonder they would be so distrustful and hateful of her.

Even Colette seems to have a hard time with her given that she wanted to see WHY Tasogare was like how she is or why she wants to do what she did. Talk about stubborn and cold as Ice. But got to admit that there are times when the female angel was caught off guard by their revelations of new information on her and on Colette's gestures of kindness. But got to give our favorite blonde puppy for sticking to her ground on being kind and showing compassion to an enemy even though said enemy caused most of their troubles.

And now they're going to be going to Nifheim, the demonic realm and make a pact with Nebilim himself. Clever way of getting the supposed dark lord into this story and also smart of how he's going to be used. Heck you even provided a back story as to why he's in the book and how he came to be. But I could tell right away that it won't be easy for the group to accomplish given what Tasogare says on Mithos' previous encounter. Especially for Presea given that she's got a harsh experience due to her possession by the Necronomicon. And from the way the group all managed to get inside, I could tell that it's going to be one long next chapter before they could get what they need in order to get rid of Mithos' deranged spirit.

Now final thoughts? The chapter here's very tense. Especially for when the group looked and interacted with Tasogare in regards to her motives and past. And the way that she spoke and presisted in keeping up her cold facade and such, there's almost no motive at all save for wanting to destroy both Yggdrasill and her mad brother Auin. Which brings me to reason as to why she kidnapped Lloyd to begin with and have him as her aide. Why LLOYD of all the characters was agreed to allow her to take her life. It's actually quite simple: She's tired of living. She's just tired of living through the pain and agony of what she went through for hundreds of years and just want to simply end it all. She hoped that through Lloyd, he would grow to hate her enough for him to just strike her down when the time comes. That's what I think anyways. It's almost like Kratos save that the only difference is that Tasogare's methods are extreme and selfish. I'm surprised that Lloyd wasn't able to put it together along with Raine or even Zelos but given what they went through it's not surprising. That's my thoughts on it anyways. Sorry for thinking too deeply but it's one that I thought I should bring up.

Now I can't wait to see what happens next. Will the group succeed and what will happen when they confront Nebilim himself? And what would happen AFTER they get the pact? That's all I got to say. Laters!

Maurice A. Nigma

P.S.
Hey, give me an email when you get the chance, Sky. I've got lots to tell you.

Whoa... That was... seriously depressing, that last part...
First it's all happy go lucky with a pinch of suspicion, then it's got some cuteness,
and then BAM! Torture! Darkness! Suspense!
D:

Oh my gosh, I found my new hitch. X3 Gonna be reading this for a while, yessirree :D
Really tasty sounding idea, muahaha! Definitely will be keeping up with this one _

Hey sorry for the late review Skywolf but college university life's been hard to adjust for me. ESpecially with an essay featuring a poem I had to analyze. Ugh. I bet that it wasn't easy for you either given how hard life is with you. Anyways onto this chapter.

I must say that the title for this chapter is fitting considering what was going on. Especially given that Exire's on the verge of being wiped along with Heimdall. And Tasogare, she really knows how to put a wrench in between the feelings of two people. Specifically Lloyd and Sheena considering what she was suggesting by using Sheena's power over the summon spirits to deflect the blast of the Mana Cannon that Auin somehow got. And the fact that using a mirror would help...but would risk Sheena's life is something that really shook Lloyd up.

I got to tell you that what I'm seeing in Lloyd within this new chapter is soo unlike him and given the past few months who could blame him? I mean, he was under the command of a plotting female angel who used him to do who knows what just for her own ends and made him believe that the one person that he cared for is dead. Sheena would mostly agree with this but given what they all been through, she knows that there's no other way and she even managed to get him to refocus back onto the situation at hand. Good for her given but also good for her that she's at least sympathetic about his feelings about the plan and all. Not to mention that Sheena's as trusting about Tasogare's intentions as Lloyd is given that they both know that she wants something in return. There's no doubt on that and I'm betting that Lloyd's got something to do with it.

Anyways onto the main event, this was perhaps one of the most intense and deep scenes that you've ever put in, Sky. I mean, describing Sheena's thoughts and feelings here was a good move. Especially given what was at stake than just the fate of both Heimdall and Exire but rather a good portion of the land as well. Nice details of how it went about creating the mirror and such and the bit where Sheena was inspired by not just the Summon Spirits but Verius as well as a very good touch to help end the chapter in a nicer note despite the outcome and such.

Now final thoughts. First of all, this would really impact the group given what happened and I wonder what they're going to do now. MOSTLY I'm focused on Tasogare and what she was doing. Especially given that she allowed the group to bind and imprison her like the way they did not to mention telling Zelos, who threatened to kill her for his sister, that someone got claim of her life. I know something's up with her especially given hers and Auin's origins thanks to the Storyteller. From her actions, words, and such, even as an angel, she mostly sounds like she's willingly prepared herself to die at Lloyd's hands just like Kratos was planning to do for Origin's seal. That's just my take on it anyways given how unexpressive she was on her emotions. And on a previous chapter, Colette's assumptions on Tasogare hit the mark there. She must feel that she doesn't deserve to life given that she's nothing but an experiment by Yggdrasill. Am I wrong?

Anyways you did a good chapter on this one, SKy and I hoped to see more like this soon. Well, that's if you could get your life together and such. But despite this, you did a good job with getting things together. Thank you and hope that you respond to me at email. Laters.

The Great Blue One

Don't worry about the wait, Sky. Trust me I have no right to speak given that it took me a very very very long time for me to get my final chapter of Fateful Proposal done. Especially given that it took me months to finish it. Anyways glad to have you back and on with the review.

Now from what I'm seeing...AWWWW! Fluffy and warm cuteness all around most of the chapter. Especially between both couples of Lloyd and Sheena as well as Colette and Zelos.

With Colette and Zelos, it's rather intense given how the two of them acted like a regular teenaged couple. Especially in terms of all the angst and such. Good touch with how Colette describes her thoughts on her childhood with Lloyd and Genis. I think it was touching along with Zelos' inner turmoil with having to deal with his own childhood. Especially in terms of his issues with Winter...being the very moment that his mom's killed. But it's good that these two are on good terms and they're just adorable doing it. XD.

Now with Sheena and Lloyd, it would seem that the two of them's starting to mend their bond and relationship. Especially given what's happened with Tasogare and all. But the female angel aside, these two seemed rather calm and talk about one another about one another's feelings given. And given the kiss that they both shared, it's really something outta an intense romance novel. Given what they both went through and how each of them were hurt by one another, it's fitting that the kiss appear here as well as the talk.

Finally the moment with Lloyd facing his friends. I got to tell you that the moment from that point is something that I'd expected from this story. Especially given what Lloyd unwilling murdered Niel and went along with Tasogare's scheme for vengance. Who wouldn't be suspicious of the guy. It must really be hard on Lloyd given the looks that he got from everyone one of his friends, but with Sheena backing him up, it would seem that some of the tension's gone. Though I do sense some in Genis and Zelos along with Raine, it would seem the guy really is home.

All in all, this chapter really is good in terms of fluff. You did a good job on it. Especially given how it all turned out and end. Now I want to know is what's happening in Exire and why would Tasogare want Lloyd's help. And given how she's mad and such, I have a bad feeling about it. Especially given that now Sheena's listening in and such. And how are the gang's going to take this new info as well as how they're going to deal with it? And what about Lloyd? I have a feeling that Lloyd's going to once again have a hard time with dealing with the female angel as well as defending his friends. Good work and hope to see another chapter up soon. Laters!

Maurice A. Nigma

P.S.
Think that you could take a look at my 3-Shot piece, Sky? It would really mean a lot if your words are put into it in a review. Thank you.
