Well, the last chapters are really fun :)

Poor Edwin, what must he go through!!!! lol He deserves it, doesn't he? It's funny, playing a sorceress or playing with Kelsey, I never actually had Edwin in my party, but he sounds so funny now that I almost feel like playing again just to see some of his banter!!!!

Btw, this romance thing, is it in game or is it in fan fiction??? ;)
"I set on this journey trying to understand why has metal been stereotyped, dismissed, and condemned. My answer is this: if, listening to that music, you don't get that overwhelming rush of power that makes the hair stand at the back of your neck, you may never will. But you know what, it doesn't really matter. Because, judging from the 40 000 people around me, we're doing just fine without ya." :) Cheers! And two horns up for metalheads all around the world!

Gods... I'd only planned to read the first few chapters of this today and save the rest for later, but I ended up reading the entire thing in one go. :). Well done for creating a very riveting story. The mix between past and present scenes are excellent and really make the story weave together very well. There are a few slight grammatical problems in the words, but if you are writing in Microsoft Word, the spellchecker should pick it up.

Your last cliffhanger was truly evil. I can't wait to read more. ^_^

Through lightning, travel shadow,
Through hell and all above,
Surviving sword and arrow,
Bound stronger by the love

***

And in the end a witness,
To where the death has lain,
Silent through the sorrow,
Where innocents lie slain

Thank you! I'm still working on it, I've decided when I finish the series I'll go over grammer. And I've added a new chapter! Enjoy

Sorry for the looong wait for the next chapter. I forgot that I had it here and I lost all my bookmarks and stuff. But I'm back and I will have the newest up every so often. Please for the love of Bhaal comment people!

Nice.
Just read it, i always (well, at least usually... or maybe just often? :P) enjoy it when writers write the story in their own way instead of sticking to all the rules, dialogues and concepts already present. ^^

The only part i'm a little worried about is Bhaal, the changes made to him seem to risk turning him into mere background noise.
But i suspect you have something intresting thought of for him, hmm?

Anyway, good writing i'd say. :ermm:

Hey, nice work for updating so quickly. :) It's far more than I can say for me :P. I just wanted to pop in and say that I really liked your last chapter, and keep up the good work. I really love the way that you've interwoven the entire thing, it's very well done.

Good new explanatory chapter, Saint Zenn. :). Bhaal's unique and sometimes even funny tone came across really well in this chapter, and it certainly explained some of the changes you've made so far! Please, do keep this up. :)

*shivers* Incredibly frightening imagery in some of your descriptions, Saint Zenn. I only hope that everything will turn out all right, but judging by what's happened so far, I'm sure that it will be a long and rocky road before that happens.

Eddie will be fine, it's the silent ones you have to watch out for.

Good to hear that Edwin will be fine, especially after seeing him questioning the existence of Dekaras. I thought that the sketches were a lovely touch, by the way. :)

I remembered that Edwin had a thing for drawing when he was a kiddie and I just thought he would continue with it as a teen and adult. He doesn't even need someone to correct his spelling anymore either. :P

Heh. I've got to say, this was an amusing chapter just in the fact that Edwin and Minsc still don't like each other, even when his memory is gone. That said, it will be interesting to find out just how it is that he gets his memory back. Keep writing, Saint Zenn, it really is wonderful. :)

Edwin has just lost some people in his memory, this sence is from one of Laufey's Thayvian Tales. He's just going to keep going on insulting people because that's what he does best. :rolleyes:

As requested I've uploaded the new chapter 12 in this story. It's a little more heart warming than the old one.

OOooh, I can't wait for an update! I've finally caught up again, and I have to say, poor Anni! Now she has to win Edwin for herself all over again.

The supense is killing me!


Oh, and I love how you're taking liberties with the story. I mean, it's a good story, but if you've played it a dozen times, and read a lot of fanfiction, while not really getting old, it is still refreshing to see a little variation in the tale. After all, it would be boring if you reproduced some of the quests exactly. I think most of us know most if not all of the game by heart, so it would not be very suspenseful if we already know what's going to happen.

Also, I love what you're doing with Bhaal. You actually make me like him (I never really hated him, but he wasn't my favourite either) I even feel sorry for him!

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Wow, nice chapter. Sorry, I've been meaning to comment but was caught up with work. *snickers*, Edwin is so getting into trouble, can't say I pity the Red Wizard though.

Heh, the soul mark of Edwin sounds very, very much like him. Looking forwards to your next chapter :)

Hey, it's 'Misery and Happiness'! I first came across this on gamejag.net, and really enjoyed reading the on going Anni-saga. I have a lot of catching up to do it seems, but it's nice to see you continuing it :) Good luck with it in the future.

Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
