I'm baaaaaaaaack! And I am so utterly happy at the amount of reviews! I'll let you know I wasn't expecting 100, much less over 300. And I do hope you enjoyed Chapter 31. I wrote that purely for your own enjoyment ya know. And I slaved over two pages of text for three weeks!!! I wrote it, and then Lauren (also known as she who killed Erikk) added to it. And then I added more, and then we tweaked it! So be happy and privileged because I was going to leave it at them both waking up sweaty and scared. So ha!

Anyways, I'm going to do massive review thank yous because you are all wonderful.

Also, I encourage you to go read one of me other ficcies, I personally think that they're better than this one so...

Any who, I had an absolutely spectacular time in England, now on with review thank you's...

White-wolf: I always' like getting called fantastic.  Hooked eh? Go read other ficcies! Well, maybe you already do, I'm still on England time so technically it's 1 am so brain is fried...lol, wow, u cry because story got updated. heehehe

Shinigami Clara: Hehe, since you've already read chappie 31 you know about the romance, hope ya liked it! An in your review for 25 the point was not to have fluff until the very end.

Sarai-IceElf: lol, Lauren is good at drama, but she refuses to write...Dresses are fun! And yes assassins are amusing. How is Min any who, I shall go look up her story once I get done writing these things up. lol, yes, complement the almighty beta, *bows*.

Sunrunner of summer: Yes the space in 23 did have to be so big. Be grateful, I almost left it that way... And yes she lives, as always... Wow, a 'very' good author eh? *bows*

FantasyIsMyLife: lol, did u AIM Lauren? She's not on rite now so I haven't spoken with her yet... Ana didn't know beta posted early, but she does now... I like Georgie and his counting hehehe.  I liked my blue blobs vague, and the point wasn't to focus on the castle it was to focus on Lia's inner struggle, well, too late now anyways isn't it? And no, no wedding, just very fluffy fluffiness. ;) lol, sorry about the lack of detail, I ran out of idea's for details! ;) And in reference to your review of ch. 30, yes I killed them, get over it. hehehee. As to a wedding, there's no wedding because I am sick of writing this fic, I need to move on.

kat W.: I continued hehehe

DarkAngel33: So the no fluff thing really bothered you eh? hehehe, it just didn't seem to fit, but I did write sum! Lol, no reviewing because of no fluff eh? I find that amusing. Yes I borrowed Mercutio From Romeo & Juliet, I should have disclaimed that, I forgot. The reasoning for that is that I was in English class. 'Re-reading' that act, (I'd finished the whole thing a week b4). Yeah, I do call her dark angel, fits doesn't it? hehehe. And the fluff level, I think I went over 5 thank you very much. *Is superbly proud of her fluff chapter.* You hate me? You can't hate me I am the author! *has power spat with ff.net readers* *is triumphant*

Superlicea: You forgot about me? Is offended. Ooh, I'm wicked, is no longer offended  Yeah, I killed her again I seem to have a fetish for that, hopefully I won't pull those stunts in other ficcies hehehe. lol, I know how it feels to be deprived of a computer i went three weeks do you realize ho hard that is for a fanfic author?!?! And as to my story being absolutely brilliant, I may have to humbly agree.

Shayley Rain: Crazy Author+little cookoo notes=Insanity, Insanity=Brilliance. Fluffy? really? There wasn't supposed to be anything fluffy about it (this is in reference to ch 25 by the way).  No more cookies? But I finished it! And I wrote fluff! And yes Melodious is a mix of Ursula and Medusa; I've always found them both amusing. You leave funny reviews, I like them...I had to do math problems, I wasn't given a choice. lol, and you review for chapter 30? I laughed for a good five minutes in the Hotel lobby, everybody thought I was nuts. Long reviews are the best!

Mist Tiger: hehee, I out Erikk dying in bold to see who would figure it out and say sumthing, You did so u earn a cookie! Ooh, I have monkeys too, cept they purple and can fly... And he didn't kiss her because it wasn't time! hehehe,

Lady Be: **does all powerful Author laugh that sends fear into the hearts of fanfic readers** Yes sadly, I did almost leave ch. 30 as reality, but Lauren convinced me not to... Thank you for reviewing, Glad you liked the fluff.

Ravenmist: hehehe, I believe you discovered whether she was dead or alive... And thank you for the complement of my Lia reviving skills; I thought it was one of my more brilliant ideas. And worst cliffhanger as in mean or badly written? I thought it was pretty good. *Sulks*

ladyknight: It seems me beta was updating fast, much faster then I would have done, I like torturing you wonderful reviewers hehehe. lol, yes I liked me Dark Angel Idea also hehehe, And Lauren said the same thing about me killing them, hence ch 31...

WolfsFriend: Thank you for reviewing, I'm o glad you enjoy, *bows*

Peachblossom: How long did it take ya to figure out I couldn't really kill Lia off? hehehe, but ya can't say I didn't try!

Shadow_kitty: complements are always useful.

Snow Angel: *bows*

Talabar: I dunno why they have to be married; I just always thought they would is all.

Figure: Awe inspiring eh? Okay, I'll agree with that. And most people can use the gift on themselves, but Lia can't, because she was getting too perfect, I had to give her an odd hang up. And I know, I spell like a four year old. As to the fluff factor, see the above authors note for my struggles with it. lol, i like killing off main characters! Ch 23 review was endlessly amusing ;) Did you seriously cry at the end of 31?

bookworm: Question, how, if they are my personal made up Tortall characters, that Tamora Pierce has never heard of, be out of character when I am the author??

Mae15:  lol, thanks for reviewing all the time, you're a sweetie, I'll try to read one of your stories if I ever get caught up on my own..

Anonymous: umm, but I can't guess who you are! I haven't a clue. Tell me? Please? And I'm sorry my fluff annoyed you, too bad, there is no fluff in other stories, well not like in ch 31 any who, I'm never doing that again, it was hard to write!

CAroLYnrOSe: Glad u liked fluffy parts!

Eccie87: Yeah, warm and fuzzy ending. *gags*

Caitie: lol, thanx for reviewing 31, even if you did not review the others.

All right guys, this is it. It's really over now. And even though I'm sad I'm also kind of happy. If none of you noticed the end was very rushed, mainly because I wanted to finish it for all of you but my ideas had run dry, and I am very sorry for any confusion that may have caused for you and I thank you for sticking with me anyways.

As for a sequel, I may do it but I don't know if it really fits to me, you know. If I think of it there isn't any reason for the plot to continue. There isn't any place to put another plot line for them. And I know you're going to suggest they have a kid and I tell his/her story. I don't know if I could or not. Because to me, and some people do this very well and it doesn't matter, having your previous main characters have a kid and telling their story is an easy was out, and I won't to tell original and new story's I don't want to depend upon previous creations. And by saying this I'm not insulting people who do that, some of them are, as I said earlier, very good at it and it works for them. It just doesn't for me, and I'm sorry.

In reference to a wedding scene. I may do one; I wouldn't connect it to this one though. I will title it, if, I write it, "The long Lost Wedding chapter of Erikk and Lia" so now you know if you see that, that is what it is.

And my kissing scene, very few of you commented on it. Was it good fluff of bad fluff? I need to know if I'm ever going to write fluff again.

Future Fic's, I'm turning a couple of Idea's over in my head, wait a few weeks and something will come up, I promise, and I promise it will be better written than this one. Parts of this one where crap. But in the mean time Of the Water will be receiving my full attention. And I wrote a fic a long time ago from Kalasin's point of view on a wedding, it involves a dragon, I may type it out and post it, depending on how bad it is...Now, I have written a few pages of my new fic, It is currently untitled but it will be by the time I upload it. Now because I am so very nice here is a tiny sneak peek at it….

Taya

She was going to get caught. And sickly enough, she hadn't done anything this time. She had just happened to walk into the shop at the same time as a bunch of amature thieves where raiding the poor seamstresses money box. Why the idiots attacked a seamstress she would never know, and not a very good seamstress at that. She thought as she ran, cursing her stiff leg.

Nicole

            Those stupid servants, she had to watch everything they did, because otherwise it got done wrong. I just hope that bumbeling idiot Lalsa or whatever her name is can actually sew. I cannot look bad in front of their majesties at tomorrow nights banquet. Climbing into her carriage she shot scathing looks of disapproval at her footmen as the door shut with it's trademark click.

Alea

            She was an inn girl, just an inngirl, nothing special. She had been all her life and would probably continue to be such her entire life. Of course she didn't consider this such a bad thing, she had food, a room, and occasionally she would splurge on a fancy dress and sneak into the palace for dances. Yes that was dangerous, and yes if she got caught she would get into major trouble with the nobles, but it was fun, and sickly enough relaxing.

A very special Thank you to My Beta: Elsceetaria, (I do hope I spelled tat right) for editing all of my chappies, really if you had seen how bad my spelling/grammar you would have never read this.

Thank you once again,

Anastazia Silverwind
