Come Hell or High Water: Chapter One: From CloverReef: Bloody fiddles of Nero, that was exciting! LOL sorry, I just had to say that. I see you loved that line. I’m glad to hear that, wasn’t so sure of it and had a bit a time trying to come up with something that wasn’t cursing (to fit with Kyla’s personality and characterization). Your combat sequence was well done. The pacing was good and, of course, you're very skilled at the chaotic violence of disasters. The deaths were so quick, I felt like if I blinked, I'd miss them, and I imagine that's what it was like for her too. There was almost a beauty to it. I’m sure while you were reading, your beta cap was on ;). I’m glad to see that the deaths were snap-snap-snap, as they were supposed to be and as I hoped they would be. I thought my own attempts at editing might have disrupted the rapid deaths, perhaps even slowed them down, so I’m quite happy knowing it didn’t :). We get a good look at the kinda person Kyla is here in chapter one. Her character really shines, especially in the listening to her intuition in the approach to battle, and the catastrophe that follows. Well done. Thank you. I’m glad you like it.

Oops, I meant independent ^^; I haven’t made a decision about Blue Lance, as it might depend on whether or not I’ll go with a certain idea or not. However, Hild’s devil will show up later on in this story. For now I’ll focus on having Keiichi meet some of the other angels, with World of Elegance being a plot point for the chapter after the next one (the next chapter will focus more on the main goddesses and Keiichi).

Devils are more independent compared to angels, so there should be some subtle differences between them and their hosts. Of course, they shouldn’t bee too different, as they’re dependent on them and the influence their hosts have over them isn’t easy to ignore. The devils aren’t going to be much of a focus right now, although there is one angel (Urd’s) who has some clear influences of her mistress’ dual nature and in a way that makes her somewhat similar to a half devil too. As such, World of Elegance will display some demonic traits like the devils, although she’s technically an angel. And she’s definitely going to make an appearance.
