Okay, I've gotten a butt-load of reviews telling me to bring Jack back in some way, shape, or form for the sequel. Hate to disappoint, but Jack is dead, as in not coming back...physically anyways. And that doesn't mean he Ascended either. As for people telling me Sam shouldn't/can't go evil, hell yeah she can! Here's why:

She's been stranded on an alien planet for 3-4 some odd years.

She's been nearly killed several times.

She's been enslaved.

She felt the death of Jack through the Warder bond and found out with her own eyes that it was true.

She has access to magic and is very strong in magic.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely; I was going to entitle the last chapter "Power Corrupts" but I was listening to my SW: Episode III soundtrack and "A Hero Falls" came on when I was thinking up a chapter title, so I decided on "A Heroine Falls". It works. Leave me alone about it.

Also, I'll tell you all here first, then again in the sequel, that the sequel is going to be a bit more...darker and graphic (little more description in the text). I apologize if it upsets anyone, but that's why I'm warning you now. Other than that, keep your eyes open for the sequel!
