Shad and Saura: The Story of Elversti - Part Eight
by ssjelitegirl

Those eyes that are watching, yet unseen, are kind of creepy. I kind of assumed at first that they were the Barbats earlier, but now I’m not entirely sure. Which I’m sure is the effect you wanted to go for.

The poor Faerie.

In This Together: Part Five
by rainbow_daydreamer

"I'm not going on my own, Ricky," I replied aloud. "I'm taking this Petpet with me."

I’m confused, I thought the Miamouse was Ricky’s? Or was it just a random, feral petpet?

The next minute, the Werelupe had pinned me to the ground with his paws.

Mmmm… Werelupes. ^^

Ah! Evil chapter ending!

The Petpet Detectives: Case of the Disappearing Deaver - Part Three
by playmobil_is_my_life

… and met up with Captain DeSoto for a very, er, interesting supper…

Captain Threelegs was almost an exact mirror image of myself. A large, white Eyrie with a peg leg that thumped when he walked and a brown dagger hung limply from his side. I didn't have the peg leg or dagger, but most everything else was similar.

Eyrie! He’s an Eyrie!

"I can't see my mirror! ARGH!"

*snicker*

This story is reminding me of The Shining for some reason. Creepy.

Whispers: Part Three

Buried alive. What an ironic way to go, for someone who dug up buried treasure as a living.

That’s true. ^^

Ohh, creepy ending….

Unpacking

Whoa, two things in this weeks NT, Huntress?

Hey, not too often we see Ice in one of your comics. ^^ And Shad, *snort* There is a thing as too much of a good thing.

Letters to Rosie
by dan4884

Somehow, just looking at the title, I knew that this story would be sad. Maybe it’s just a trend in letter stories.

We play hide-and-seek in the plants and I always win since I'm green.

Awww, for some reason this mental image made me grin…

Cheese rolling cannot cheer anyone up, ever.

Only if you don’t know how to do it right….

Poor Walt… It’s nice, though, that he matures enough to know when to concede defeat -- too often stories are the other way around, where their persistence pays off in the end, unlike how it usually happens in real life. Yey for mature characters!

Watching the Sunset
by precious_katuch14

Awww, poor Reuben! Depressed little Blumaroo -- and they tend to always look either ecstatic or depressed to me always. (I blame their long faces.)

You’re right, I highly doubt this story would make sense if you hadn’t read the previous ones, but I did. *gloats* It’s nice to see stuff from the side who got left behind…

And the ending was so sweet. *sniff*

Dear Akkani
by akkani

The title + author thing makes me giggle. ^^

What a sad start! *sniff* Letter to a dead daughter…

I have long since gone back to Mystery Island, to see if any traces of the four original clans are left but every time I search, my heart tells me that I know there aren't.

For some reason, this reads… off. Traces should probably be ‘trace’ I think there should be a semi-colon after ‘left’ at the very least, and maybe “my heart tells me that there aren’t”…

At least our secret is safe; I promise for all our own goods that I will keep it that way - safe.

Shopkeepers have goods. I think it would read better as “I promise for the good of all of us that I will keep it that way…” or “I promise for our own good that I will keep it that way…”

Now I must finish and coil up this piece of paper. I shall tie it with one of the shell strings you used to make so you shall recognise that it is from me.

Awww… *sniff* Even though it’s pretty clear from the letter that she’s dead, the way it’s written makes her very much a living character in this story. Poor Khalon.

Letters to Rosie by dan
I read it. I liked it. The first short shory I'd read in a couple of weeks. ^^ I wished Rosie would have sent Walt a letter... even if it was one that said she hated him. XD Anything is better than nothing. *sigh* So depressing. ;_; The ending was so sad, too.

Goodbye forever

AWWW.

Anyway, good job, Dan. ^_^

In This Together: Part Fiveby dream
This part seemed to go by really fast. I was kinda bummed that Ricky didn't go along with Novella. XD At least Rachel went. Everyone needs a traveling partner. Anyway, it didn't really seem like much happened this chapter. Novella just... left hurriedly, and then got attacked. Well, regardless, I'm eager for Friday so I can know what happens... *hopes it really is Voltare* Dang cliffhangers.

Revisited: Part Three

"Like," spoke up the Usul, "I think we should, like, get out of the kitchen. Maybe we should all, like, try to make our way to the, like, front door." Even though no one could see each other due to the dark, Jenny was still 75% sure that she was still trying to look at herself in the mirror. Proving this, she next said in a very frustrated voice, "I can't see my mirror! ARGH!"

Hahaa. Typical stereotypical Usul. XD

I liked this chapter. Trapped in the house? Oooohh... This makes me so curious. XD

And Jenny's daydream -- daydream or not? Hmmmm...

I do wish that a few of the pets trapped with Jenny will receive names, though, since referring to them as 'the Kyrii' etc., kind of gets repetitive. Hopefully next chapter. ^^

As for people who reviewed my series, thanks so much!

Into the Sea - Sytra
This was... a beautiful ending for my now-favorite piece in the NT.

I am short of words. I was brought near tears by the end. Things were so... unexpected, and so... emotional, and realistic... I can't say much, I can't think of the words to properly convey what I'd might normally say, but this has been the best thing I have ever read in the NT. I mean that. I truly do. Inspiring and amazing to say the least, Sytra.

Whoa. Best thing you've ever read in the NT? *shocked* Well, thank you, Wolf, a LOT, for reviewing my series for the past 5 (or was it 4?) weeks. I appreciate it. ^_^ *bows*

And thanks, Trilly, for the review as well.

Thanks, Nimras ^_^ And yeah, the custom is perfect, right down to the colour of her cloak and the mist, and.. everything. I was thrilled when I saw it

Into the Sea
by sytra

Man, do I feel for Katrina.

This story, for me at least, was rather …disturbing. Maybe it’s because I was my elementary schools punching bag of choice or something. It was beautifully written, especially the parts about Amelia. Is Sasha supposed to be autistic? With her difficulties understanding people and the obsessive lining up of her identical plushies, that’s what she strikes me as.

The ending… man that’s the stuff nightmares are made of if you’ve ever dealt with children with social problems.
