A big, huge THANK-YOU to everyone who reviewed and encouraged the story to continue. Your words mean a lot.
To tell you the truth however, the story was completed from Day 1. I admit I just held back on posting them all at once to see if they would get more reviews that way and I believe it did. Sorry if that's low of me, but I wanted to get them for my friend Nate-kun, and not me. This is his story after all.
Phibrizzo's death was, of course, brought on the theory of his claim that a Double Dragon Slave might kill him was true. Of course, I think he was also hit a bit by the Ragna Blade, so those three working together did the trick. If you're somebody who doesn't think that would ever work, well... um... Use your imagination? Please?
Maybe not the happy ending some of you might've been hoping for, but hey, this IS labled as a Drama/Angst genre. But still, at least you didn't see anyone comitting suicide at the end, ne? (Er... not including Lina's willingness to die at the end. And let's not go back to that whole "not moving away from Sylphiel's Dragon Slave" thing from Chapter 3.) The characters are moving on, slowly, steadily, and surely.
I'm not sure I should be saying this next part, but Nate-kun has told me that this could possibly be a prequel to a larger fic he has in mind. Pretty much taking where the characters are now and re-telling TRY. Don't quote me on this though! I don't know if he'll do it or not. Like I said, I don't know if I even should be saying as much. But he's not here and I get to write the notes, so nyah.
By the way, some of you may be wondering why I am writing the notes. Well, see, Nate-kun is going to be out of the country for the next two years without internet access. Soooo... That leaves all of this up to me! That also means that any possible further writing or additions to this story won't pop up for another two years as well. So maybe you should just ignore the previous paragraph entirely. *shrugs*
Now that it's done, I'm going to go back and put in my own reviews for each chapter soon. I really enjoyed this fic made by my friend, and I hope you did too.
Reviews and Comments are welcomed! And I'm saying this for Nate here, people.
P.S. -- Oh yeah, and a big thanks to www.inverse.org because I know for a fact he went there a lot to research some of the spells and stuff. Okay, that's it.
