Book Seven: The Toll of Death

I. Cold and monumental
II. Try to forgive
III. No Use resisting
IV. You try my Patience

Author's Note: First things first: Once again, you'll find all the translations you might need stacked in among the reviews. They'd just look so annoying in the text. However, I might change my policy of putting author's notes in here, because I've been suspected of making author's-note-only chapters (which is not quite true, I'm just trying to get the book titles in separately to give this epically long thing a structure, and they're just the best place for shoving in author's notes). But maybe everything will change – not in this story, though, I'm a great one for continuity gg - because – here's a grand announcement – due to my sister's firm and explicit demands (meaning they were underlined with a poking finger in the ribs and several threats for the future) THERE WILL (probably) BE A SEQUEL TO THIS.

This is also the reason why a few things I had planned for this story will change, so those among you who got spoilers might want to e-mail me to have them put right. ;-)

To all of you, thanks a lot for reviewing, and have fun with what lies ahead…
