Aaand the prize for disobeying orders goes to...Rigvar! Wait a sec, Lotor is also trying to win! Ehh...they can share it. Lotor and Rigvar, presenting your magnificent prize for ignoring Malimore and attacking Redwall not twice, but four times...it's up to Sayna, not me, but I'm predicting that your prize will be...DEATH! Or maybe defeat, or...a plot twist of some sort, that nobeast has predicted! Congratulations, you two. Enjoy your prize >:D

Seriously, though, I don't think they'll want to survive if it means facing Malimore. (I'm guessing that twice the allowed number of attacks between them...is not exactly a recipe for survival.) On the other paw, things are getting desperate at Redwall...I really hope nobeast is killed. I'm especially worried about Einar now, but at least he's much more on the Redwallers' side now...the Bootbrain we all once thought we knew would never have helped Mask. (Well, maybe...but it doesn't seem as likely, somehow.)

Rose must be terrified...I hope she's alive (and preferably conscious) when Martin gets back, or things will not go well. It's just as well Argulor is able to carry other beasts, or Martin might have tried to get back to Redwall on foot (or on horse, but the poor horse would probably collapse)

Iona is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters, especially since her conversation/interrogation of Einar. (I love his new name, and I'm glad he actually had another one...I mean, who calls their child Bootbrain?) And the pictures of them are amazing :D (I liked the one of Veil and Esther as well. And yes...everybody is going to squeal and ship it)

Timbal seems to be taking things quite calmly...(it's really showing the contrast between him and Martin, because I think we can all guess what Martin's reaction would be if he was in that position...lucky he's a mouse.) Well, it looks like Bryony may have an ally if they find out she's half rat...but maybe not so much if they knew who her father was. That was/will be a great twist, that Bryony - who accepted Veil and didn't judge him - is now the one who is most likely to be an outcast. (I'm looking forward to her personality in Accused...)

Veil...poor Veil...I almost cried when he met Sandingomm, and the last time a book made me cry was MTW. I wish Bluefen had been able to escape with him. (If you kill one of them in Accused without letting them be reunited...actually, I don't want to think about it. They've suffered enough, and Veil hasn't even been exiled yet!)

I loved the family reunion, and got so excited during the build-up! The way they were reunited, too...by fighting each other ;) Well, their families have always been warriors... And Beau's reaction to Trimp's cooking XD I love their characters! (but it's kind of obvious, since I love most of the characters. Not all *I'm talking about you, Xemx! And Roderick, Lotor, Rigvar, Swartt...*, but still most :D )

The scene where they found the crowns was brilliant! That was the moment when it really felt like their family was back together (at least, as much as it can be...I'm still half hoping for a last-minute twist involving Elder Sayna, but it seems unlikely.) But they still have to get back to Redwall without anybeast dying...

I'm getting more and more worried about various characters. Everybeast at Redwall, mostly...but especially Sandingomm, Gonff, Mask and Einar. Also all of the guards. Not Rose, because Martin will probably kill Lotor from halfway across the country if anything happens to Rose again...it's not possible, but I don't think that would stop him ;)

Sholabar and Adkar have paid the price for trying to steal the crowns >:D That was a great addition to the plot...and next time Adkar threatens Lilly, Groddil or any other creature in AWFI, I'll just laugh at him and remember his fate. (And probably howl in rage at him as well, when you and Illusion reveal the next twist...)

Gonff's quick thinking and insane logic (Gonff, you're not alone. I often think that way, too XD ), coupled with Einar's greed but occasioal cowardice, has some interesting results! I'm glad Gonff was able to stop the attack, and Sumiss has actually been useful :D And the Doomwyte eyes! If I know Gonff, he'll be bragging about that for seasons, exaggerating the whole thing, and Einar will just be sitting in the background thinking, But that's not what happened! Assuming they both live, of course.

The Dibbuns' reaction to Veil's arrival was great, too! Veil's confusion about fun was sweet but sad at the same time...and Iris suggesting they dress up in pretty clothes, followed by everybeast's disgust, was hilarious :D

I really like the recent TotO pictures, too! (Anything with Romsca has my instant support...but you know that already.) I'm slightly concerned about the fact that she seems to be either injured or tied up, but I'm guessing you wouldn't kill her again...would you? *chews lip nervously* I loved the picture of her and Xzaris...I mean, all the pictures of her and Xzaris :D (Also, just wondering...do you make up names for the characters before you decide the plot, or after? I'm currently sort of in-between...which way would you recommend?)

I get the feeling there's something in the last ten chapters that I haven't commented on...I'll probably add it when I remember...I've also got a couple of things that are slightly off-topic, but still sort of about TPF. (Yes, I know this comment is getting...long...but anyway.)

First, something I realized for the first time when you posted the picture of Sayna in TotO, a theory on part of the reason why she has barely any hair left of its original colour. I think either Ignasa was being unusually harsh, or Malimore interfered somewhere along the timeline...because Sayna (and anybeast who has been affected in this way by the Flowers) would outlive all her friends, family...everybeast she knows. I'm imagining a scene similar to the one with Timbal every time they're wounded...and what about when they run out of flowers? If Sayna has to watch the other marks and her family grow old and eventually die...I just feel so sorry for her/you now :( (She and Groddil might lose a lot of hair, trying to heal the others) *for seasons' sake, please don't write these scenes or we might all die of beloved-character-death overload*

Second, more cheerful: re-watched Frozen the other day, and spotted some similarities between Rose and Anna (was Salem hinting at this with Roseanna's name?), and Sayna and Elsa. The older sister, Sayna or Elsa, is different from the rest of their family, and Anna/Rose is their parents' favorite. Older sister almost causes her younger (red-haired, lovestruck, slightly more naive than the older sister) sister to die, but she survives. Sayna/Elsa become distant and unfriendly for a while, until they almost lose their sister again and eventually start trusting others ...and I thought Destiny was meant to be the Frozen-influenced trilogy XD (This doesn't apply to the other characters...because I can't really see Martin as either Kristoff or Hans, and who would Timbal be?) I love seeing the parallels here...Redwall and Frozen is a great mix *is excited for Destiny again*

Sorry about how long it's taken me to comment DX (I never seem to be able to comment on time)...and this comment is really long as a result. *considers* It's strange to think that my next comment on one of your fics will probably be on 'A Spell Cast'! I probably don't need to say it, but KIU! :D
