Author's Note to His Readers

Well, I'm sure you've all noticed that I haven't updated this fanfic for a while. Worry not, work is being accomplished, despite my massive writer's block. It's just happening behind the scenes.

Anyway, Sinnatious makes me feel bad for not responding to all you lovely people who have stayed with me through this fic. I promise that it will be long (hell, I'm not even halfway through yet! ^_^) but hopefully good. I really do love your reviews, they help me write the story.

Classes are set up as follows: Angela: Archmage; Duran: Lord; Hawkeye: Nightblade; Riesz: Vanadis. I will take suggestions for the remaining two characters. In fact, I would love them, because I'm having trouble myself! ^^;;;

Solarious: Alas, but the computer has eaten my copy of Duran's little part with Wisp. I do have the manuscript, but it may take me a while to get it typed up. I apologize. I'm glad that you like the explanations.

Sinnatious: Thanks! The class changes always fascinated me, and I thought I did a pretty good job. Glad someone agrees with me. I wish I could stick more humor into my fics, like you do, but it seems like my humor always comes out dark and cynical.

Kurai: You know I love ya! ^_~ Thanks for the review. I thought you might like the Darkshine description.

Bittersweet: Well, I don't know about my characterization being perfect, but thank you. Hope you stick with me!

Rosa-Aquafire: Well, you know how I feel about this. I like Hawkeye as a Ninja, so that's how he's going to stay. I hope that doesn't ruin the story for you. The elemental trance comes back later on, by the way. Oh, and Riesz isn't butch, she's just uncomfortable around men. That's just how she leads me to write her in the story. If a guy goes over the age of fourteen, she's got problems. She'll get over it, I think.

Weila: Don't worry, it took me forever to find your fic, too. And I love it. I'm just a lazy bum who doesn't review very often. _ _; I'll work on that.

Naso: I like poking fun at Duran. He has a good heart, though. I think you'll like how he turns out.

To everyone: If you'd like a minor character to return in the story, put him/her up for it. I'm notoriously lazy, so I may drop a character or two, and it would be good of you to remind me. As of now, Iris is the only one coming back.

Thank you all for sticking with me. Part II of Siege is massive, so it's taking me a long time. I do hope it's worth it for you all!

Your resident Wind Priest,
