Where was I?? I didn't comment last time, although somehow I thought I had .. maybe it just didn't publish. My connection is better now with unlimited, but it still is somewhat flaky .. sorry about that. Anyway.

Wow. So I was listening to some music on random as I read this last part, it was called 'Where Heroes Fell' and it fit so beautifully .. it all seemed very real. Some people might think I am a bit odd to say I really loved this story, even if so many died. It was beautiful, the determination, the self sacrifice, and the bravery in the face of death.

I miss Varyg now, and Korie too .. she was more than noble. All of them .. *sniff* *cries* but it's ironically happy too, because they all got what they wanted in the end .. freedom.

Davar earned my respect in the end, even if at first I thought he was a real loser .. but that final trick .. phew he had me going for a moment there, but then he killed Katt and then Zekran killed him ...

(so this was overall intense but that was a good thing)

Speaking of Zekran .. Mahaha! *evil laughter* Yes, you deserved that scum, you did .. >:D At least he gave his poor slaves some entertainment for a bit .. satisfaction in a way .. and then went down with his ship, like a good captain.

I'm glad for Jarnsaxa, that she got out and had, despite her haunted past, a happy ending. Toward the end there I was wondering if Jarnsaxa was the beast in the prologue but part of me thought Varyg, Swald, Korie, or Olina, but .. no. And somehow I sort of wanted it to be Jarnsaxa, too.

I like how you got ideas from history, that is cool :) You picked a very noble act in history as well .. almost like a tribute. Very well done :D I should try that sometime .. and honestly, I've entertained the thought of a story with an ending a bit like this, once I had a Warrior's fic where the clans were destroyed from the inside out, and only thirteen, out of hundreds, walked away .. and not unscarred. Sadly I never got it finished .. maybe I should work on it again ;)

All in all, I rate this very sad, but very epic! It's also cool how you tied it in with 'For Freedom' .. I never caught Elsie's relation until you said that, somehow or other, though I thought the name Ratatoskr sounded sort of familiar ...
