OK, guys... .... I know I'm mostly just talking to myself here, but I'm hoping that someone will take a peek at this and maybe respond... (arches an eyebrow at Kylee, been a long time since I heard from you, dear). Anyway. I've gotten a few reviews that I want to address, and thank for... and fill you guys in. Life's been pretty bad these last couple of months, and I let myself get seriously sidetracked by some other things, (*cough*RP*cough*) but honestly, I think I needed the distraction. I was beginning to lose the passion for "Polinues" and was sort of stuck. And I've been editing the whole thing, so it's easier to read... hadn't even realized it was so difficult to read, so sorry about that. But now I've got my inspiration back, and chapter 54 will be up soon. Very soon. But now on to the wonderful reviews I've gotten. First up is my darling Kylee I'm sorry... for always breaking your heart... I have a feeling you're still mad because it's taking so long to updated. I can't tell you anything to ease your mind without ruining the story, but I can promise you, Leyjen will find happiness again. Someday. Until then I hope you keep reading... and won't hate me too much Thank you, Dextrous, for offering to read my story, and I hope I'll get some good feedback from a fellow writer. I've edited the whole thing now, and I hope it's easier to read now. Please let me know if I should fix it some more. And thank you for the reviews. Moon. Thank you. I am so awestruck by this that I don't know what to say... other than thank you, thank you, thank you. It means the world to me that you took the time to catch up and the review just about made my week. Well, for the grammar mistakes, I do apologize, but English isn't my first language so I sort of reserve the right to mess up every once in a while. Sometimes the language just does not want to obey, so I make it do stuff it shouldn't I also don't have a beta-reader, so mistakes are bound to slip through. But please, please point them out to me, if I do make mistakes. I know how annoying it is to read something, and get knocked out of the story, by some silly mistake that just rubs you the wrong way. The spacing problem had been pointed out to me already, and I've been editing for the past weeks. I have one or two chapters left, and they will be fixed by the time chapter 54 is up. The fire... well, the scars that Polinues suffered were meant to serve as a tool to mold his personality and character, and to make him more hateful towards humanity. Your question makes me wonder if I didn't write that part well enough. All questions about Amraeen will be answered soon, like in the next 5 or 10 chapters (depending on how well the story behaves itself). Also, we are heading into the future now, so most questions about that should be answered eventually. I don't want to give too much away, for fear of ruining the story. I am very sorry to hear that my descriptions of the characters aren't good enough. It is true that I tend to leave much up to the reader's imagination, but that is a personal preference because I can't stand it when writers spend half a page giving you minute details about how a character looks. It's just a personal pet peeve. But I will take your words under consideration, and will think about trying to show my characters better. As for Leyjen's wings. He only has wings when he allows his true form to come out completely, and the scene with the prophetess (which Leyjen discovered is actually one of the Aaenda = goddess) that was just Polinues' own magical power allowing him to see through the magic that hides Leyjen's true identity at all times. (Bright Beltane Fires II) Leyjen also can only keep his true form visible for a short amount of time, while he is in a human body. When his human body dies and his soul goes back to his divine form then he will be in his true form at all times, and can turn to a human form at will. Most of the Aaenda chose a human form on a day to day basis, but that's just because those wings can become rather cumbersome Thank you again for your wonderful review, and I will update soon. I will also edit those last two chapters, and hope that as I get used to the new RTE uploader, then the paragraphing will be better. I'm still learning how to use it. I do hope that all of you will continue reading and that you will enjoy the rest of it. And that there will be minimal wishes for bloodshed... Thank you all again, Darkling Willow.
