NOTE: This chapter...gets a little crazy.
I tried to make this good and intense, and I hope it turned out well.
Oh, and this chapter sort of has theme music, which may feel like it doesn't fit the beginning of the chapter, but definitely fits the end of it:

FEEDBACK: Thoughts?
I try to write in such a way that you will feel something. Whether that be trill, excitement, sorrow, and/or compassion (for the characters and/or their situation). My hope is that you did feel something in this chapter, but it's difficult to accomplish, and can be 'hit or miss' no matter how much practice I have.
Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know!

So...this kind of thing happens in real life. And not just in random third world countries where the mafia rules, but in highly developed countries too. Is it rare? Maybe? Hopefully? But either way, it does happen. This specific 'ambulance assassination' might not have been the wisest, but I'll point out in a second why it is still possible that it might happen. In a major city, 911 will usually be there within 5 minutes. Depending on where everything is located, the fire department might show up first, but usually an ambulance is close behind. And part of the reason why is because there are a lot of private 'for profit' Ambulance companies that just drive around, waiting for 911 calls to come through. It's like a medical taxi service (might vary depending on country, but this story is based in the US). Furthermore, photogenic or not, it would be crazy easy to make these two disappear, to falsify how they died, to suppress any reporting on it, and to ultimately come up with a 'different' story for everything that happened. Possibly even claim that Claire made the whole attack up for attention (had the whole thing planned out, including fake blood). It's not that Trey called these people up, but instead that they are proactively protecting the 'boss's kid' knowing there might be consequences if they didn't do anything, likely fearing for their own lives and the lives of those they love. That's a powerful motivator. No one has to give an order to make this kind of thing happen. And while it might not have been the smartest move, it is still potentially something that 'someone afraid' might do to ensure they cover up 'this mess' they stumbled upon. At the end of the day, if all the witnesses are gone, then those 'living' get to tell whatever story they want, and unfortunately this does happen in real life all the time (likely more frequent that you're even imagining - take the 'Boeing Airlines witness deaths' as a recent example that's gotten a lot of publicity). And most cases like this don't get any kind of publicity. People disappear all the time, every day, and it gets almost no attention. I just looked it up, and a little over 2000 people go missing DAILY (and that's just in the US). Of those who go missing, roughly 15% to 20% are never found (almost 1 out of 5 people who go missing are never found). Daily, that's maybe 300 people who go missing who are never found (ever). Every day. Roughly 90,000 people per year are permanently lost after going missing. As a theoretical example of how this might have played out, these two girls disappear and the official story goes: Claire lied. Trey wasn't even there (and of course, no one who saw him is alive to contradict). Or maybe he was there, but the couch was the assailant, or even that Claire and Avery got in a fight over who was going to prom with Trey and Claire broke her nose. Could be a million different variations. They got picked up by an ambulance, dropped off at a hospital, and then both left of their own freewill. The 'hospital' confirms this. But then the girls disappear. The news spins a story about how they were so embarrassed that they ran away from home. Who is to say anything different is true? People tend to believe what they are told without question (and that's a big point). If a single corrupt hospital admin tells the cops that it is true, then they will believe it. If a single corrupt 'Chief of police' says it, then the news will believe it. If the Executive Editor-in-Chief of a news outlet says it, then the populace will believe it, often without question. Even if the news story is later updated when no one cares. All it takes if for one corrupt individual. Hospital admin says the girls never showed up, but the corrupt 'Chief of Police' writes a report that they did and will not investigate the story further. If he stops the investigation, then it stops. The hospital admin isn't going to investigate, etc. And then, you have the end result. The girls become the perpetrators, and Trey is the victim (he would easily play it off as a victim). Kids at school: "Man Trey, I'm so sorry they played you like that." and "Oh, poor Trey. He was the victim here." (and on and on). Even if there are those who don't believe it ("But Avery would never do something like that!") there's nothing they can really do about it. Not when the police won't pursue it. Or maybe they are pursuing it, but there's just no evidence to be found (because hospital admin is the one corrupt, etc). No 'body' means no case in many situations. When 'those in power' are even moderately corrupt, this is easy to do and it absolutely happens even in today's world. And even when there is no rampant corruption, it can still be pulled off by mafia-type groups just by hiding evidence.

2024-05-15 17:22:19 +0000 UTCThe whole medic/assassins on standby does not seem realistic to me. 911 seemed to have been activated almost immediately, I don't see how there would have been time to coordinate something like that. Trey wouldn't have the time or privacy, unless he is telepathic? Being proactive is one thing, but murdering 2 photogenic teenage girls (that they were on camera picking up) in an ambulance without someone telling them to, is something else.

2024-05-11 04:04:25 +0000 UTCI really like Kaizer’s stories and appreciate that he regularly delivers an interesting chapter every week. My personal favorite is the combat healer, but Kai’s story is also interesting. I’m left with a lot of questions after this chapter. I guess I share some of the same concerns as other commenters. This is the first time that I have seen Kai become the Hulk – unreasoning, uncontrollable rage beyond a brief responsive episode. Is he losing his mind? Interestingly, his harem seems to have some control over him, damping his murderous instinct… At least if I am reading it right, he had full intention of killing the man but was held back. Kai didn’t seem to be thrilled with establishing a meaningful relationship with the precog, but he seemed to lose it when she died. As far as I remember, he didn’t have any absolute proof that Trey’s father attempted to kill Claire or the guy's rationale for doing so. How could the ancient Kai be involved with this man – is he evil or not? Kai finally has a link to Eve… Will Kai’s blood be adequate to remove the curse that he himself placed on Claire? It seems like almost every chapter is a cliffhanger. Personally, I don’t like that. It is like the soap operas my mother watched that I despised. Don’t worry Kaizer – I’ll keep reading. You don’t need cliffhangers to maintain my interest. Your good story is enough for that!

2024-01-03 01:54:41 +0000 UTCDefinitely better, I'm wondering about "Detonate", since the word is more commanding and he's commanding them to detonate which works with the "Kai transformation mentality".

2023-10-18 03:52:33 +0000 UTCI've been thinking about this. What if she said 'Burst' instead?
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-18 02:31:56 +0000 UTCCan't wait to hear the conversation between Roland and Kai. And hear about the webbed hands sounds like bat wings (were-bat ) maybe?

2023-10-16 00:18:52 +0000 UTCKai has lived for3000 years and accomplish ed a lot been victorious over everything he faced he has a right to be prideful in my opinion. But, that could tie into the pass phrase. And I loved how his girls was able to pull him back from the edge.
Robert Crews
2023-10-15 23:58:49 +0000 UTCVery good chapter lots going on. The whole grand father angel solved many of the issues I was trying to figure out. Claire was part of their World the whole time. Excellent Kai has the new sheriff in town thing going on man does he ever get a day off. The whole series takes place in around a month right. I think he should take the GED and take a beach vacation. Lol I see a crime lord in Trey's father reaching the cops and paramedics with the grand father handling Kai s other resources. My mind is racing with the possibilities

2023-10-15 22:06:26 +0000 UTCAgreed, extensively cool.

2023-10-13 23:48:29 +0000 UTCHow cool is it to interact with author in process of story still being written?!!!! Message board that actually provides good questions and comments and an author that not only reads them but responds!!! Reading them helps me to understand subplots etc. Don't expect there to not be questions on story as we all have opinions on where you are headed. Doubt anyone is here for a simple paint by number piece of art. Thanks for both IDH and CH KW! Think there is much more story to be told for both.
Keepit simple
2023-10-13 19:07:54 +0000 UTCThis comment is going to age well, lol.
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-13 02:45:03 +0000 UTCJust my take, Roland Beaumont is Trey's grandfather. And Kai has more power and influence then he believes.
The Archer
2023-10-13 02:35:12 +0000 UTCYeah, pride is definitely an element too. It's not exactly just one thing, but is multifaceted. But again, if you were confused by his reaction, then it probably means I need to go back over it and try to do a better job of explaining (in a concise way, since I don't want to bog down the story with an over-explanation).
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-13 01:33:34 +0000 UTCKai has definitely shown a number of times that he can do without the control I completely agree. I also get the good Samaritan tendency angle but I wouldn't have thought that would've made someone go completely out of control. The last segment that you cover seems to be anger triggered by pride... Don't really have much understanding of that but I wouldn't have thought it would spin someone out of control unless they were more on the side of narcissistic however Kai does seem to go the way of "I'll do this myself" and will destroy himself in order to change the extreme circumstances (this side you've definitely covered well since he considered reactivating his curse and forget about everyone else - this destructive behavior pattern should be something that he overcomes with the support of his bonds and I would imagine that would be significantly hurt (especially the succubi given their history) that he was about to throw it all away regardless of circumstances).
Moi465
2023-10-13 00:00:42 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if you fully got what I was trying to say, so I want to try to clarify, just in case. I don't think that desiring to keep someone safe, whether you care a ton about that person or not, would classify as a 'need' to have 'absolute control.' And in fact, Kai has shown plenty of times where it's not a big deal that things don't go as planned. He's not shown that he's a complete control freak by any means. But when he decides to keep someone safe, he is of course going to expect that to go as planned, and to take measures to ensure it 'does' go as planned. To illustrate, let's use a police officer as an example. If a cop sees some random person getting hurt, he is going to try to stop it from happening. And if the bad guy 'succeeds,' even despite his efforts, then that will make the average person very upset (even though it's a stranger getting hurt). And that general rule applies to most guys, I think. It's almost instinctual to want to protect others, even strangers, which is why 'Good Samaritans' and civilian heroes are so common (plenty of incidents all throughout human history of 'random men' who didn't 'need' to care about what was happening, jumping in and saving the day 'just cuz'). Granted, all that being said, I think you did hit the nail on the head with this comment: 'I see that kind of anger coming from a desperate need to not allow a set of circumstances from happening again, either driven from a place of fear...' Yes, definitely. Kai has absolutely experienced trauma in his past, specifically the trauma of failing to protect others, some of which he can't remember, but is buried deep down. He doesn't need control over everything, but when he decided to 'keep someone safe,' he expects his efforts to be enough, and is highly angered when an enemy is more cunning than he was expecting and causes his efforts to be in vain.
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-12 23:01:39 +0000 UTCReally appreciate this response. I didn't really get that Kai HAD to have control over everything, which thinking about it is probably a misunderstand on my part since people that experience a high degree of loss require a high amount of control out at least a feeling of control in their live . Typically I see that kind of anger coming from a desperate need to not allow a set of circumstances from happening again, either driven from a place of fear (must commonly) or driven from being misvalued (example a king being treated like a peasant by someone of lower statues). I will have you know that I get as irritate as the next person if I cannot find my keys :p I am however a type of person that can't afford to get emotional since some people can function well when they're emotional but I can't win arguments or function if I'm distraught enough. The demand Kai puts on his people definitely is a controlling though but I figured that was more due because you said this story caters more to men. I'll have to reread a bunch and reassess Kai. Also keep in mind you can't under estimate how interaction challenged your readers are! 😜
Moi465
2023-10-12 22:48:28 +0000 UTCIs it because you don't understand why Kai is so upset? If so, then it might mean I need to try to clarify for anyone who isn't 'automatically upset' when reading Trey's conversation with the coach. There's a lot of things going on here, everything from 'having control' to 'winning vs losing.' Even if Claire doesn't matter much to Kai, she does matter a lot to Avery. And Kai was basically like, 'I'm going to protect your friend,' only to have someone swoop in underneath his nose and bold claim, 'No you're not. Nothing you do will save her.' For most people, that would trigger a strong negative reaction for a variety of reasons, such as: 1. Wanting control and having it stolen by someone else. 2. Wanting to win (in keeping her safe), and losing despite one's best efforts. 3. Indenting on keeping someone safe who is important to a loved one (Avery)...and failing. For the average guy, that would usually be highly 'triggering' (to use modern terms, lol). And it's not a big deal if it's not trigger for you, but it means I at least need to possibly explain better why it's trigger for Kai. Why his reaction is 'so severe,' even though he might not care about Claire as much as he does the others. Also...if this had happened to someone who you do care more about, such as Avery, then I'm pretty sure I'd end up giving everyone a heart attack, so I can't exactly do that.
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-12 22:34:01 +0000 UTCOkay, so there are two possible issues here. Either I haven't done a good job of communicating why Kai would have this reaction, or you're someone who just would never have a reaction like this in most situations. Possibly both. For example, you might be someone who doesn't 'get upset' when you 'lose' something. Whether that be a game or some other kind of competition. And possibly might be someone who doesn't get upset if someone else 'steps on your toes.' Or when someone else 'steals your control' of a situation. To be honest, I'm personally someone who doesn't get upset in most trivial situations, but the situation described in these last two chapters is something very different. Even if Claire only 'kind of' matters to Kai, she absolutely matters to Avery, in which case this isn't just about Kai caring specifically about Claire. Rather, (and this is very important) it's that he was trying to protect someone 'important to Avery...' and he failed. That would be upsetting to most people, including myself. Failing to protect someone who mattered to your loved one, even if that person didn't matter specifically to you much. It would be similar to if he was making an effort to protect some random work friend of Serenity's, or possibly protecting Gabriella's dad, or some other 'person' who Kai personally didn't care about. And what it ultimately comes down to is the following 'initial' mentality: 1. I have control. 2. I desire this person to be safe, and so they WILL be safe. And then to have some bad guy swoop in and steal that control from right underneath his nose. In many ways, it's also about winning and losing. It's Trey laughing and saying "Ha, nothing bad will happen to me, and in fact, I'll come out on top, no matter what," and then him winning even despite the measures taken by Kai. If you read the conversation between Trey and coach, and if it didn't personally make you upset that he 'won' despite the MC's efforts, then I'm not sure if there's much more I can add to the story to help you understand, other than maybe trying to incorporate this explanation in a more concise manner, so that you at least get the reasoning.
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-12 22:21:10 +0000 UTCAlso Kai needs to be slapped, the people that share his blind are constantly fine no matter what he does but something like this needs social recompense. I still don't understand why Claire is the catalyst for this event, he was so focused on damage mitigation up to the point that this random girl that she's the future on occasion gets almost murdered and he freaks out about it. If someone had triggered a memory from his past life and he had actually spent a long time with Claire and she's gone through huge pain before and he could feel what she went through then that might be a reasonable trigger, you could also mention how the EMTs trying to kill Avery pissed him off on principle so that would add to it.
Moi465
2023-10-12 18:21:33 +0000 UTCI don't really understand the catalyst for this. Claire is not someone he's bonded with, nor is she someone he's really cared for until recently. Unless we're saying that Kai was triggered by Avery's wrath but that doesn't make sense because she couldn't understand what was happening until after the transformation happened. This doesn't seem like enough of an event to trigger the reaction. Finding out about the teacher was interesting and I'm sure we'll find out that she purposefully provided an indirect name to try and eliminate her masters competition which totally makes sense. The pop command makes sense but actually saying pop was a bit odd. I'm going to have to read this a couple more times to fully grasp it.
Moi465
2023-10-12 17:12:34 +0000 UTCTwo things popped into my head after reading your reply. First, tons of students started calling 911 after it started with Trey & Claire's names. If someone had been monitoring emergency channels for either of their names the call could have been rerouted to the undercover agents. Second, if there is a seer/oracle involved they could have set everything up days ahead of time to gave their people in place. But if that is the case why allow a wild card, innocent paramedic along for the ride if they were plotting a nefarious end for Claire? In some ways it makes more sense for a reactionary entity with mind control vs a supernatural mafia explanation.
Christopher Miller
2023-10-11 15:23:42 +0000 UTCMy thought was it just so happened that three (and only the males) paramedics who happened to be the ones to respond to the call. As far as can be observed so far the school receptionist who called did not mention it was Claire or Trey involved. So, there was no reason for the "local mafia" to dispatch undercover agents to deal with the situation. It's much easier to believe that a supernatural entity snatched control of them to use as tools on hand after the identity of the patient became known to this unknown enemy.
Christopher Miller
2023-10-11 15:15:13 +0000 UTCOther authors have the same issue, since the update patreon is even worse with the editing
SmokeJam
2023-10-11 14:22:42 +0000 UTCYou're gonna kill me with all those cliffhangers xD I do like the intensity of your writing, it does convey the severity of the situation and emotions, my only criticism since basically book 1 is, that you tend to be very repetitive with the same words and/or expressions. While it still brings out your intentions, it diminishes the "colour variety" of the language and does lower the quality of the writing style a little bit in my personal opinion. I do absolutely love your creativity and story plotting though, always pulls me back to be curious how it will continue and eagerly await the next chapter
SmokeJam
2023-10-11 14:21:55 +0000 UTCWhy do you assume compulsion on the medics? Was not mentioned with a single word, rather said they acted proactive. Classic mafia style, get on the good side of the Boss before he can potentially punish you. And the rest are all even more just baseless assumptions, there is no proof for now, so I would be a little bit more careful with jumping to conclusions.
SmokeJam
2023-10-11 14:13:36 +0000 UTCIt took me a little over a week to read both this and combat healer but I finally made it! Great collections! No idea what I should read next lol.
Moi465
2023-10-11 13:35:05 +0000 UTCI've been following this series for a long time now and normally I'm a big fan of both stories you've been posting on with combat healer being my favorite however i feel like the last couple chapters have been 0-100 and just very very dramatic or overreactive to a whole other level idk just my personal thoughts but this chapter kind of tipped it as going a little too far in an off-putting direction for me.
Rielly
2023-10-11 11:26:23 +0000 UTCNice reveal on Beaumont, Mrs. Hayes & Evelyn. Great to see some progress on the Eve front. Hope to see some closure there soon. Hmmm, so I'm guessing Trey has never met his older sister? And Mrs Hayes was Kai's safety net to make sure he never went off the rails before he found out who/what he was.
Christopher Miller
2023-10-11 05:35:45 +0000 UTCWho did enslave and compell the male paramedics to try and kill Claire & Avery? Since only males were being controlled I briefly thought perhaps a succubus? But no, unlike incubi, succubi can control both sexes. Apparently, whoever was behind this attempt considers Claire a threat. Perhaps another seer/oracle/prophet who cannot tolerate competition? Not enough information there as yet.
Christopher Miller
2023-10-11 05:30:43 +0000 UTCI didn't get a chance to read this chapter until yesterday, and then I needed some time to process everything. Because damn it, lots of stuff happened! And there were some curve balls I needed to take some time to consider. Roland Beaumont wasn't the one who tried to kill Claire and Avery, but he's still an asshole. He's letting his spoiled, entitled brat run around the city using innocent people like they are his personal playthings. Plus, at least according to Claire, he has a habit of ensnaring young women in his debt, and then preying on them sexually. He's basically a rapist.
Christopher Miller
2023-10-11 05:21:43 +0000 UTCI get it, young Kai vs old Kai kind of thing, I just personally think it is a bit much and slows the pace/rhythm of the story for the sake of making the moment feel monumental and exceptional except it happens if not every chapter than every couple of chapters. But to each their own, I still really enjoy the story overall :)
Kalak
2023-10-10 18:36:14 +0000 UTCSimilar to poetry, it's a style meant to have a certain effect (an effect that seems to be working really well for most of those who are reading). Not every chapter is like this, and not every chapter moving forward will be like this. I will say though, if you've been paying attention, whenever he gravitates to his old self, he becomes more poetic (and the story likewise become a bit more poetic).
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-10 18:26:39 +0000 UTCI really like the story, the characters and everything but the writing is getting worse with the repetitions and non-phrase 2-5 words "phrases" used to give more impact I guess. But it just makes me want to skip a dozen lines because I know nothing will have happened that couldn't have been written with normal non repetitive paragraphs. Especially if reading the last at least 30+ previous chapters in a book format would be massively exhausting with this writing.
Kalak
2023-10-10 18:09:46 +0000 UTCI like all of your stories but I noticed ish gets more comments than the other ones! Don't know what it means just saying

Pedro Comenda
2023-10-09 07:22:17 +0000 UTCDoes Mr Beaumont have a brother? Is Trey the nephew?
Rhys
2023-10-09 03:08:04 +0000 UTCNope, sorry I shouldn't have implied that it was, I meant it more as a light bulb moment going off in my head.
Rhys
2023-10-09 02:51:29 +0000 UTCYou say you were hoping we’d feel something and I can assure you that you hit the nail on the head! You have a gift for conveying emotion that I can honestly say is unparalleled with any other author I have ever read. This is an amazing chapter and I can’t wait to see where this goes from here.

2023-10-09 00:45:09 +0000 UTCRats, I just noticed something else.... if Kai is in stealth mode, how come the receptionist can see him when everyone else just looks away.......
Rhys
2023-10-09 00:42:29 +0000 UTCJust like Kai has a sense of where the others are, Natalie has begun developing an 'awareness' of Avery's general location, an ability all the pairings will begin to develop. I'll have to make sure I bring it up in an upcoming chapter.

Rhys
2023-10-09 00:24:10 +0000 UTCDamn I was no expecting that ending! I hope he can save Clair. I'd like to see what happens to her.
Sebastian Kramer
2023-10-09 00:22:31 +0000 UTCOne last thing to say about this chapter (I promise, I don't want to be the super critical type) I just noticed something: The one you chose to give you this knew life! Master, you must remember!” Did you meant new or was that clever wordplay regarding that Kai couldn't remember, if wordplay, I tip my hat to you sir!
Rhys
2023-10-09 00:20:37 +0000 UTCSo, I immediately understood that Kai's judgment was HEAVILY impaired this entire chapter. Like, he cannot think of ANYTHING but wrath at the moment. It was only after reading it a second time that I thought Kai might have focused on the wrong thing in his school's parking lot. He focused on someone who was observing HIM, and he took that guilt emotion to mean they had some relation to what had just occurred. Thus, leading to how he received a warm welcome by the receptionist at Beaumont's office/penthouse. But no, Roland definitely does not appear to be related to Trey in any way. What happens to me is if I get caught up in the flow of a story, then I start to miss some hints without truly speed reading. I know you need that feeling of chaos, and we are looking at this through Kai's head, but I didn't even understand how Natalie and Michelle found the ambulance with Avery being distracted by Claire's seizure, let alone follow the errors that led to Kai in Roland's office.
Grant
2023-10-09 00:09:01 +0000 UTCAs I mentioned in a different comment, there are clues left in the chapter. Have you ever heard the riddle about a father and son who get in a car accident, and when they get to the hospital, the doctor says, "I can't operate on him. That's my son." The riddle question being, 'How is this possible?' Just something to think about.

2023-10-09 00:06:49 +0000 UTCYeah, I think the new Patreon has some bugs. I have a lot of italics in this chapter, and they aren't showing for me at all, even though they are definitely there. Thanks for the clarification about 'remembering' because I was uncertain of what you meant. He probably doesn't remember because he had no guarantee that he would remember anything at all. If anything, the 'old him,' probably thought that the 'meaning' of the phrase itself would at least give him pause.

2023-10-09 00:00:31 +0000 UTCYou know the story is good when a cliffhanger makes you want to do grievous bodily harm to the author then realize if you do so you lose a great story all I'm saying is cliffhangers frustrate me but this is my favorite story I'm reading seriously great job

2023-10-08 23:58:20 +0000 UTCAh to clarify, I meant, why couldn't Kai rememeber the pass phrase

2023-10-08 23:57:06 +0000 UTCBut who else could arrange an assassination this fast? And other than Trey's father who would want to under these circumstances?
Rhys
2023-10-08 23:53:08 +0000 UTCFor some reason in this new Patreon I can't see my old comments. To clarify it my confusion is slightly bad, I have a tendency to rush but the only time I remember being confused like this was when Kai was dealing with the possible explosion at his incubus half brothers place. Though to be fair the clarity in this chapter is a lot better than that one.

2023-10-08 23:51:45 +0000 UTCIt's a curse, I'm sorry :-(

2023-10-08 23:34:20 +0000 UTCI feel like it was be far too 'convenient' for him to just remember things without a really good 'push,' as Grant just mentioned. This isn't like normal amnesia here, and Kai certainly didn't remember anything about his old life until just recently. And again, only snippets that were triggered by specific things, like recognizing someone.

2023-10-08 23:33:59 +0000 UTCBut is it Trey's father?
Author Kaizer Wolf
2023-10-08 23:32:17 +0000 UTCHe has made it sound like it's a bad confusion. That he was so blindsided that it kind of ruined it for him (at least, that's the impression I'm getting). So in your case, was it a bad confusion? Also, I intentionally left clues in the story as to what is going on, so they are there. Have you ever heard the riddle about a father and son who get in a car accident, and when they get to the hospital, the doctor says, "I can't operate on him. That's my son." The riddle question being, 'How is this possible?' Well, as I said, there are clues in this chapter as to what might be going on.

2023-10-08 23:30:56 +0000 UTCKai can't remember as parts of his memory are still blocked. It's sort of the "curse" of being "nothing" trying to unwind itself, so the memories don't solidify without a meaningful attachment. Kai could remember Miriam and Delilah as they have known him since his original human form. But, even for Gwen, there are big gaps in his memory as he knows the princess Gwen, but not how his magic was reworked or undone to bring her alive into the modern timeline.
Grant
2023-10-08 22:55:52 +0000 UTCI'm in the same boat as Rhys. This is a twist I did not see coming, yet it is clear that the paramedics were looking to kill both Claire and Avery. So, if Beaumont really is Kai's servant, then who was the mind trying to kill Claire and Avery?
Grant
2023-10-08 22:33:25 +0000 UTCI agree, just wow.... I felt Mrs. Hayes had a great role to play. But ,Trey's father that connection I did not see coming great chapter OK now I am ready to keep reading. Lol

2023-10-08 21:48:37 +0000 UTCWow…. Completely speechless. My heart is racing after finishing this chapter. The connection to Eve has been found! Hopefully she can help shed some light on his forgotten past, skills and abilities.

2023-10-08 19:39:13 +0000 UTCI mean, evoking emotion, I get it, but the build up, from blind, inchoate fury to....... huh?
Rhys
2023-10-08 19:33:03 +0000 UTCOK ........twist I totally did not see coming but now I'm confused and I have to go back and re read a bit. But I don't get it, is Clair truly dead that this is the only option? Also, why on earth couldn't Kai remember?
Rhys
2023-10-08 19:30:02 +0000 UTCYou and your damn cliffhangers! ;)

2023-10-08 19:27:12 +0000 UTCThis post has a lot of italics, but it's not showing for me for some reason. It's in the post itself (if edit it, the italics show), and it's also in the email sent to everyone, so not sure why the italics aren't showing.
