Mmm...could prove to be interesting. Although I much prefer the Spartans with big green armor and battle rifles.

Will it be the man or the son that will be the last Spartan? Oh, the excitement!
Thanks Acally!

Heheh, Hector the Rooster!

Oh, and its 'vegetables she could not GROW on her own' not "grew by herself".

I look forward to reading more!

Very very interesting that Leif gets to be the good guy and I have to be the machiviellen power usurper.

Good stuff, Acally.

I liked the update, but I thought it was a bit confusing to follow who was talking when. Anyone else feel that way?
And I think I spotted a spelling mistake:
I'll try. No promises," He hissed as Rachel applied a healing slave made of herbs to the wound on his back.
I think you meant salve?

Yay for the update!

sorry to ruin the mood, but it needs a spell checker. Between spelling and grammar mistakes and typos I counted 8 in total in the first post alone.

Your actually counting?

Considering it's a rough draft, I'm surprised there's not more

Nice work, Acalewia . I read what you've written so far, and I'm enjoying it. I really like how you keep the action going. Your work is very fast-paced, and you focus on dialogue, and I've always liked those features.

The main thing I think you may want to work on while writing it is making it clear who's speaking. Often it's okay, but sometimes it's really not clear who says what.

I like how you've incorporated Hector and myself, and made us both main characters . I also really like how you've made me a good guy and him a strutting rooster. It's nice to know there's some justice in this world.

This story inspires me to try the same thing sometime, fictionalizing Entmooters.

Yeah, that seems to be one of my weak points when I'm writing.
