loved this update! thank goodness for email subscription, it was so nice to see this in my inbox. glad they made it back in time, cant wait to see merlin and arthur's full reunion

Glad to see this story update again.

OMGGG imagine my surprise when I got the email notification that you updated! Wow thank you it really made my day! Tbh, even though it’s been many years, I still occasionally go back to read merlin fanfic just because I miss the characters so much haha. Just last year I was in a suuuper big merlin fanfic phase again for a few months LOL. BUT ANYWAYS YES WOW I’m so glad and happy and excited that you’re going to finish this story! :) I remember it being one of my top favorite fanfics when I first read it. I want to go back and reread the whole story again so the feelings are fresh hahaha! THANKS SO MUCH for updating and looking forward to your next update! 3 And I hope you’ve been doing well since then and that you’re doing okay with everything going on in the world right now!

Dude. I'm so happy this is back! Like you made my entire month if not year. This is so cool! Thank you!

I presume you are an English teacher. And I have enjoyed this story immensely, having had the possibility to read it all from the beginning since I saw you post this chapter. Sometimes it is good to come on board late! Thanks for npw, and happy writing!

Eir was such a bright character, a light in the brute darkness - I am happy she is back in the story and just hope she will agree to come back to the cave! And thanks for confirming my suspiscions on who Kol is!

I am glad it was shorter, this chapter, because - obviously - I read it without breathing! I wonder if I need advice you to not write real thrillers, as you might kill the readers ;)

May I humbly bow? In my opinion this is the best chapter I have read so far - both the discussion below Yggdrasil and the vision / dream of Arthur's - And I have no reason to not be sure of thet even better is what is to come!

So, finally - YOU have revealed yourself as a real author! No wonder this story is so good. And sad. And horrible. Do I ever dare to read on to know that in your AU both Kol (I do have suspiscions who he is!) and Merlin (does Arthur have suspiscions who he is?) live?

And the crooks might get what they pulled unto themselves . . . I hope!

OKAY - so now there are TWO horror stories at once? Like the Hydre, if you cut a head it sprouts two? If this story keeps scaring me like this will I bite my nails off up to the elbows!

And now a stone fell into my stomach. Or a a whole mountain. A good story but horribly horrible!

But, Kol, you are just too young to have seen any endings yet; so how xould you say there are no happy ones? I like the author ending chapter thirteen this way! Good thinking and good writing!

Astrid and the Jarl; are they in for a real shock each? Juat kidding, this story is waaaay too good to be serious about all the time!

Well, they are alive; both Kol and Merlin. Good so far - but I hope Merlin will ASK Kol before bringing him back, so not Kol's family have to suffer from that . . . Merlin can be a bit rushed sometimes. Not to speak about Arthur, who I guess we find in the next chapter!
