Wow, what a chapter! I wish it was easier to get online and type right now, but I'm still in the early stages of recovery, so my reviews will likely be late. But make no mistake, this story is a real highlight, and every passing chapter just gets better and better.

We have Gaelin, after refusing to kill innocents, forced to kill soldiers in order to protect the ones he cares about in an amazing fight. The irony of Thylara under siege by an enemy that they were trying to use for their own gains. An impossible escape from the palace and city itself. Lyal and Tull helping out. Nefferel coming back (yay! I loved that scene, how she hugged Gaelin at the end, and the reactions to it!) Annallya realizing that any undoing of Titan civilization would be because of the Titans themselves. And Annallya finally facing her mother, in a scene that was especially well written. As much anger, animosity, and different world views as there are between the two of them, they're still mother and daughter, with neither willing to kill the other. Annallya has come into her own, and for better or worse, Oragale will have to accept it. Plus some incredibly bravery from everyone, including Annallya, who turned the tables on Gaelin by herself facing an invading army to give her friends a chance of escape.

Thank you! A great chapter, all the way around!

Author's Response:

Whatever you can say, I'll appreciate it. 

If I'm honest, this one was my favorite chapter. Both in terms of action and characters. Everything you listed was something I enjoyed writing about: pretty much the whole thing. And I'm glad that you also enjoyed every detail.

So you're welcome gtstory, and thank you for reading

Wow, I didn't think they would actually make it out of the burning city. Props to both Annalya (I somehow still have a hard time remembering that name for some reason) and Gaelin.

Annalya claims Titans are basically all about war, but the clash she had with her mother shows that titans actuall Do care about more than that. Gaelin clearly has the more superior combat moves and fighting skills, while Rhaolin still doesn't  want Anyalla to hang out with him because "pet." Rhaolin should at least recognzie this but decided to do the stupid thing again.

I'm curious to what their next move will be. Would they be able to do anything to fix the city? Will they go to Oalam? Or peacefully live in a human village?

As always, thanks for writing! I'm looking forward to the next chapter and I hope we will see it soon!

Great excape chapter. I was really afraid that Annallya was going to sacrifice herself during the escape (Which I guess she still might, but with them out of the city, here's to hoping she lives!). I love these characters so much, and I'm hoping for a happy ending for the two of them. Whether that'll come to pass remains to be seen.

Enjoyed that Gaelin was saved by some of the prisoners he fought/taught. Especially the one he told his backstory too. That hug was a needed moment of levity for the chapter, and provided some nice fodder for Annallya to tease Gaelin with.

Annallya's fight with her mother is something I expected to be more difficult/longer. Not that it was bad, it just leaves me suspecting that there are more trials involing her to come since she is still alive. Wouldn't be surpised to see her come to the village for revenge with the queen and whatever remnant of soldiers they have. I guess that's my main fear now, haha.

But I just wnat to applaud you for building such an interesting world to telll this story in. You crafted it well. And the characters you created to live in it are fantastic in their own right. This really feels like a novel to me.

Can't wait for the next chapter, whenever it comes. You have me on the edge of my seat!

Author's Response:

I'm grateful that you've enjoyed it. I threw in the bit with the hug as an afterthought, I liked the idea. Glad to hear it helped balance out the mood. Plus, Gaelin was going to be teased for the completely unpresidented act of making friends.

The fight with Annallya's mother wasn't meant to be a boss battle kind of fight that was supposed to test her limits. It was meant to be a sort of final argument for the both of them, as well as closure for Annallya. That's why half of their fight was dialogue. 

Thank you again for enjoying my story so much that it feels like a full novel to you. I'll get the next chapter out as soon as I can
