A lot of people have had trouble understanding some parts of this story, especially the fact that I would let a character marry someone from a different species, even if it turned out fine in the end. Originally, I was just writing it for fun and so didn't think much of it. But thanks to the incredible response this got, I'm going to rework it so it's more believable and, if it's still good, switch the names and try to get this published. It'll probably take me a long time, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up, in case you wanted to read the new and improved version.
