I feel like I've had this story bookmarked for a very long time, but I'm only getting around to reading it now (as my Bionicle hyperfixation comes around again). And it's amazing. I've devoured every page so far (although I think I'm only on Chapter 38). It's a huge, sprawling epic, but I have no trouble following who has done what or where they are (even if I have to check some names now and again!). Although it's slowed down quite a bit since the initial scuffle, the politics and strategic movements are interesting. I can see the Kingdom being built, even if I'm still not sure how we get there. And as somone who adores Takua/Takanvua, I absolutely love to see him shine, pardon the pun. The use of the Shadow Takanuva's pulled my heartstrings, and the use of them to give Takanuva a leg up towards eventually becoming a Turaga was brilliant (oh look, another light pun). His desperate fight, turning into terror, his acquisition of new skills and his (mostly) subtle way of using them, to the point that the Toa Nuva are looking to *him* to represent them, is awesome, even though he still shows his relative inexperience. I'm still kinda hoping we'll really get to see him go off at one point, because between the Makuta and the Order, I feel like someone is eventually going to hit the wrong button at the right time. I love the look into the inner workings of the Order, and the look at Helryx's inner self, a morally grey individual who can't allow herself to dwell on the losses or the cost of these battles...or her untruths. I could babble on about everybody, but we'd be here all day. No matter what character is on the page, I'm riveted by their story. (Will the Mahri be back in time for the big conclusion, I wonder? And will they have the heart to fight?) I can't imagine how you're keeping all these moving parts in order, but it's amazing to read. I look forward to where it goes, if and when you have time, and thank you for the amazing read thus far. If you feel like posting your old stories from the lost forum ever, I would certainly read them. All the best, Sylver
