Very interesting backstory. I assume that Sylvie's sword is the one Caedmon was carrying after Daegal's death.

"Memories of youth were priceless in old age." I read the story for the first time yesterday, and this line kept going around in my head all evening.

I'm as eager as Sylvie' to find out what Riamon is going to tell her and Kincaid.

Sorry, no blinding insights this week, but I will definitely be looking forward to the next chapter.

That's probably a safe assumption. Probably the only safe one at this point. *g*

Just so you're not disappointed if the history lesson doesn't answer all questions as once!

hahaha It was a prologue! No blinding insights required! *g* So long as enough is there to get you to return for Chapter One (hopefully to be posted in a couple of days).

Okay, I'm hooked already.
I really want to know what Riamon has to tell and where it will lead Sylvie.
Her father must have been quite a seer, to have a name, as well as a picture of the sword.
And there were names in that first part that I think reoccur through time. *sits back to wait, patiently*

A good sign indeed!

I hope you won't be disappointed. *grins* I'm just saying...

As to what her father was, I probably should explore that more deeply at some point, but he really was just a means to an end for me. It's Riamon who's important and what she can and can't tell Sylvie. (and a bit more than that)

Hope to have the first chapter posted in a day or so. Want to work through it thoroughly (and figure out where in hell trollop is going!). I'm almost giddy with this one. As much as I love SA, Declan lovers will like this one better ultimately (he's matured plus other reasons). Also, IR is much darker than SA in all the best places of human nature to go lurking about. So, we'll see. I'm very glad the gentle little prologue has peaked your interest...
