I remember reading this way back in 2018 or so, never thought it'd actually get finished. It's a touching read and I'm glad you decided to come back to close it out, it really deserves it, so thanks.
Author's Response:
I remember seeing it for the first time. Working on it with Sterben was both surprising and enjoyable. This was probably the longest joint work I've ever done, and I just couldn't leave It be like some of my others. Hopefully I can keep it in the same spirit and send it off proper.

Oh man when I saw this on the main page, my heart fucking stopped. I had to read a few of the previous chapters to remember what the hell is going on. I came to terms that this story was never going to come back, but here it is years later and we finally get an update and it may have taken 5 fucking years but abbey finally got her height back holy shit. Still, it's really sad that Sterben Klein isn't working with you on this but I guess this is better than the alternative. None the less this was a great chapter, you really nailed how the characters talk and interacted with one another, overall, I couldn’t really tell the difference between this and previous chapters. I feel ungrateful for asking for this even though you didn’t even have to finish this story but I really hope you don’t rush this story to the finish line. But I trust you and your writing skills to do this story justice. Thank you for picking it back up.
P.S. I really hope Sterben Klein is doing well where ever they are
Author's Response:
I'm really happy that I was able to capture the same spirit that this story had previously before. I'll do my best to finish it in an appropriate manner, don't worry. I have no intention of rushing it. Though, the ending is close.
Thank you for taking the time to tell me your thoughts on this story after coming back to it. I'm happy there's still fans around who remember it after so long on hiatus.

This story is really good. I was hooked on to the story when i found it recently.
I hope you continue writing more stories and I hope your ok with the on going pandemic and all. I really want to know what will happen when Najia awakens after recovery.
I hope that you can continue the story. I would like to hear from you to see if your ok or if your planning not to continue.
Can't wait! :D

Hey, I was wondering if you were going to update again? It's been so long...
Also, it's been a while since I commented on this story, so... Nice work as always! I'll keep waiting even if it takes years since I love this story ^^
Please don't take that long though, I'm dying to know what's going to happen next :,v

Well, this one certainly took me a while to read, sorry ;_;
The current Ebon-Abby relationship is quite nice! The dragon won't be all friendly but is good enough for now. Also, it's cute she's trying to resist the flattering haha.
Now, as for the main part... Certainly, I didn't expect that kind of solution. It was a given that Casey and Eve had to be at peace for Abby's happiness but this was going beyond that. The pact made by Eve and Casey seems quite heavy, and I can't really say if this was the best outcome but... I guess it is? I'm quite satisfied with the result, the three of them are on their way to happiness now. Though, other than Abby saying yes I suppose there should be something more to be done before she's officially their mate?
Also, going by Eve's words I suppose Abby should still be able to give energy to the others hominals and bestials. And I'm quite curious about how much Casey's abilities have been affected by this.
Seems there should be some more stuff going on, looking forward to reading that!
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it... I was having doubts.
I hope that it was a surprise at least, and a well recieved one. I had planned on this from the beginning, or at least at a certain chapter turning point early on. I have more to follow which is why I chose to do this, and I'm hoping it will show in the upcoming chapters. Whenever I get around to them.
Thank you for telling me what you thought. It means a lot to me, Kenta.

Hi! I think I got faster than usual this time... Hopefully...
Now to answer the pacifier thing: Is just a scenario that I've thought about before. Though, again, I was expecting a half-body-in thing so it wasn't exactly as I predicted.
About the chapter, it is nice to get to know more about Ebon and Ivy. For what I gather here, I suppose the dragons leave their eggs alone? And have them look for themselves right after hatching. Well, they got the power to survive that as Ebon showed there.
It's adorable that Ebon thinks of Ivy as her treasure! The way they lived together and their first encounter with humans was nicely written. Though the outcome is quite sad... Also, was neat how Ebon gradually learned the human language.
It's disheartening to read what they went through while being displayed and attraction for that circus, and even worse when the escape failed and Ebon got that wound... I hope that there's any way to get her better, even if unlikely...
The part of Ebon feeding Ivy was especially hard to read, both hurtful and sad... Well at the end Najia got there at the last minute before tragedy kept piling on, I'm curious at how she mentioned Ivy and Ebon are from different species. I suppose that's the reason why Ivy still isn't able to talk?
Looking forward to the next one, great job!
Author's Response:
Sorry for not getting back to you Kenta. I really feel bad about that. D:
I was caught up posting my new chapter quickly that i didn't check if I had any new reviews for the last one!
Thank you for the review, I really appreciate it. :D
With Ebon and Ivy's tale, Dragons are a bit fickle to write about so I took that approuch to make others wonder if thats how they're raised or if hunters just got to them first.
i'm glad you enjoyed Ebon's point of view through the years. I wanted to really explain herself since mostly shes been seen in a harsher light. And also to help express just where her hatred stems from and that its not without reason or mindless.
As for their species, it could be related to that. Or it could simply be that Ivy's still just a pup and hasn't matured yet. Its for me to know and maybe reveal. :)
Than you again for the review. I'll make sure to respond to it quicker next time!
Date: February 22 2019 1:17 PM Title: Black and White.
Ive been pretty down the last few days but seeing this getting updated definitely brightens my day so thank you. And its finally nice to see we getting some more back story on Ebony and Ivory (always loved those names since devil may cry). Aldo what did abby mean when she says that she would like to be friends maybe more than friends? Is she trying to add more to her harem of monster girls? I wouldnt be against the idea but I dont think Casey or Eve would be all for that lol
Author's Response:
I'm very glad you liked it Foxinbox. I was worried it had been a bit to long. As for Ebon joining in Abby's *haram*, I wouldn't go that far, at least not in this Story. The meaning is more meant as Family, like she sees most of the other girls now.
Date: January 20 2019 11:17 PM Title: Communication.
Well, this one did take me a while D: Had some stuff going on with graduations... I'm here now though!
I did guess Abby was going to be used as a pacifier, though I expected something like a half-body in. Still, it was a very cute scene! I think a good job was made describing Ivy, and I'm intrigued in why she got so close to Abby so quickly. COuld be just child innocence, but there might be something more? Also, petting Ivy's tongue sounds adorable haha.
That being said, my mental image of Ebon panicking while watching Ivy sucking Abby should be very cute too! I really enjoy seeing different aspects of her. At first I thought she was going to make Ivy sleep before taking Abby back but seems that didn't work?
There's an interesting back and forth between Abby and Ebon, whether they end up as friends after this or not, I'm sure Ebon will see Abby in a different light after this.
How Eve theratened Ebon could've been guessed, but is very nice to see her defending Abby to such an extend.
Now I'm really interested in seeing what Ebon will do next. And, I really hope Abby can help her somehow with her wing...
See ya! Have fun writing the next one!
Author's Response:
I guess it took me a bit to get back to you too. 3:
Thank you for the review Kenta, I'm glad you enjoyed Ivy's introduction. But how did you know I was going to use Abby as a Pacifier? I was hoping to make it a surprise. X'D
I'll have my next chapter up shortly. I hope you enjoy what follows!
Date: January 01 2019 7:40 PM Title: Communication.
Hey man. I apologize for the lack of reviews on my part. I'm not in a good place as far as mindset goes right now but your story always lifts my spirits. I'm glad we might be seeing what made Ebon the misanthrope that she is today. It was shocking seeing her bribe Abby with her "metal" seeing how prideful she is. I hope Eve threatening to kill Ivy was just a threat because I don't think Eve is cruel enough to kill a baby like how we saw in her past lol Ivy is a baby, right? Anyways, I guess we better prepare for another painful past because with the hate Ebon harbors for humans, something tells me it's probably going to be the most tragic.
Happy New Years to you and FW :)
Author's Response:
By all means Nothingness, don't feel guilty about anything. I didn't want to make anyone feel bad with my comments. Any time someone messages me it lifts me up and fills me with joy. I know what you mean about being in a bad place, so take your time to yourself.
As for what Ebon and Eve discussed, you might never know. Or maybe I'll elaborate later. Who knows~
And yes, Ivy is a baby as far as Dragon's are concerned. Think a one or two year old in appearence, although, more feral.
Date: January 01 2019 8:57 AM Title: Communication.
realy nice chapter i get the feeling ebon has a realy tragic past dealing with humans but i also get the feeling she is the one to nuke abbys family
Author's Response:
Hmm, intresting take on their pasts. I like where your mindset is. But, you'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Date: December 31 2018 1:13 AM Title: Doctor, doctor...
Finally got time to read it ;_; It's been a while, hope you had a nice Christmas!
Ebon methods are still too rough but you can tell from the start that she wasn't fighting all out, really makes me wonder what Eve did to make Ebon behave. Now, hope Kari doesn't blame herself too badly after this...
The conversation with Ebon reassures the idea that she really cares for the others, and all she's doing is out of care and kindness, I suppose. And her story has to be quite tragic to have a hatred that intense. Also, picturing her moving around all that gold and hoping is enough to "buy" Abby, I find that very cute for some reason. Hopefully, they can talk out their worries.
So now Ivy is in here too. I got an idea of how this might go and if I'm correct it could be quite entertaining! Looking forward to reading the next one.
Have a happy new year!
Author's Response:
KENTA!
Long time no see! S-Sorry...
I'm glad you still like my story :D
I'm glad you're able to see through Ebon's rougher side. It's hard to find a good way to describe what I want with her. It doesn't nearly come as naturally as it does with some of the other girl's. But, I think thats whats so fun about her too.
Also, you think you know what Ivy's going to do? fufufu~
We shall see!
See you later~!
I hope you like the next chapter I just posted! Enjoy!
Date: December 24 2018 2:32 PM Title: Incentive.
Hey Sterben, I'm still reading and enjoying this story. I always miss it when it goes on hiatus.
I enjoyed this chapter. I hope Abby can get through to Ebon eventually. This new dragon is interesting though. Did Ebon run off with the intention of just letting the new dragon eat Abby, or is she somehow scared of this dragon? I'm wondering what's going on.
Author's Response:
Glad you're still a fan foreignkanto :D
I wouldn't say Ebon's afraid of her little *sister*, but don't forget, she's still a Dragon after all. :3
I'll have a new chapter up shortly, stay tuned!
Date: December 21 2018 6:52 PM Title: Doctor, doctor...
The ammount of time in takes to realese a new chapter never really bothered me. Ill keep reading them and loving them so long as you keep releasing them. keep up the good work.
Author's Response:
Thank you Foxinbox, I'm glad you're happy with my work. :)
I'll keep trying to make this story as great as I hope it is.
Date: December 21 2018 11:34 AM Title: Incentive.
Ah, nice to see an update! I was so happy to finally have a new chapter of this :D.
Even though it's been like three months, I'm still shipping Eve and Abby and enjoying this story.
By the way, approximately, when do you think you will update again?
Author's Response:
I'm glad you're still a fan Lucia. I'll try to be more active now. In fact, I'm already writing right now for the next chapter. It feels really good to back. Hopefully I wont be gone for so long again. I've missed this.
I hope you keep shipping. Though you might not guess how it will end. No one has figured it out yet. >:)
Date: October 03 2018 11:46 PM Title: Round Two...
Hi! I wanted to write the review sooner but work caught up quite fast.
One problem "fixed" and another to come. Really, Abby can't catch a breath. Throughout Casey and Eve's fight I kept trying to find a side to cheer on but got quite difficult, both of them were definetily on the wrong here and it shows since they start yelling at each other, throwing low blows all the time. Is good that there's not "good" side in this case.
Wonder what solution Eve came up with, and whether it'll keep them away enough for Ebon to do as she pleases.
Poor Abby, she's the real victim on this one. Glad Kari snapped her out of victimizing herself. Though, I guess this kind of situation might help her in some way when choosing a mate in the future, there should be a lot to take in after all.
And well, Ebon back. Very cursiousin why she's going from a destroyer to kidnapper in this one. Maybe someone needs energy? Hope to get to know soon!
See ya!
Author's Response:
Thank you for the review Kenta, sorry it took me so long to write something back to you. I hope you read and enjoy my next chapter to if you liked the last one. :)
Date: August 20 2018 12:52 AM Title: A Flower Among Weeds...
Hey, it's been a while! Got started in a new job and still getting used to it so took me a bit to get some time to read...
I think Abby thinking that way of Kari after hearing the news is the normal thing to do. Of course, is not a good thing, but is what's expected. Quite nice she managed to overcome her anger and inquire more on the matter, though.
Quite cute Abby and Kari's relationship, going more along the lines of mother and daughter but not being quite the same. It's also good for my heart that she isn't really another candidate for a lover, I already got enough trouble choosing for a favorite among the current ones...
"she watched Kari obey her like she always did. Like they all seemingly did." I wonder if this is foreshadowing for something.
The story is indeed quite depressing, especially the fact that the humans made sure that Kari observed her mother as the "trial" went on. Though, I'm unsure if I find this one or Casey's as the saddest. Nevertheless, I think it was quite interesting, even if sad.
And I'm glad the chapter ends on a happy note, as happy as it can get after that tale of course. Abby mentions ones again that she hopes Najia would let her stay so I wonder what the girl would do if Najia declined. Also, she will need to get the approval of Ebon and all the girls before that, or maybe she hopes Najia does something about her? Though it could also be that Abby didn't think that far yet.
So you said you're getting trouble for writing? Please take your time, you don't want to post something you're not satisfied because of a rush. Hope you manage to overcome your block or the trouble that you're having.
See ya!
Author's Response:
Thank you Kenta. Your reviews always make me feel better. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, it was a harder one to write for some reason. I guess it was a combination of coming back in to writing and the darker theme with a character like Kari. Either way, i'm hoping the next chapter wont be as long. I already have the idea's prepared for it, i just need to sit down and sort them out in the proper order.
As for Abby and Kari's relationship, that was aout what i wanted to portray. Don't worry, not every girl is a candidate for lover, lol. When it comes to Najia however, I wouldn't put to much worry into it. It's best not to assume anything about a character you know nothing about. ;)
I'll try to keep this story updated as soon as I can.
Thank you again for another review. :)
And congratulations on your new job!
Date: August 06 2018 2:05 AM Title: Doctor, doctor...
Nice to finally see Kari's background! Though for a second I really thought that Abby was going to be stuck at her size.
Although, promising that she would never abandon them when she is two inches tall and a dragon girl is trying to kill her continuously, is probably going to make it difficult to accomplish.
And the question from every review! When are you going to update next chapter? After a month, two? XD
Author's Response:
I'm glad you enjoyed Lucia. I honestly don't want to say. It could be a week, a month, I don't know. I've been having trouble writing. So I guess, it's kind of in the air at the moment.
Date: June 16 2018 10:58 PM Title: The Bad News...
Welcome back! Of course, I don't hate you. I'm really glad you're back to writing.
A bit refreshing to see Abby being the one making mistakes this time, even if it meant hurting Casey's feelings by not noticing her intentions ;_; Keep going Casey, I'm sure you will manage to surprise her at some point...
Liked the way the small teen moves around the dullahan, climbing and sliding down her. It's very cute. Makes it even cuter for when they're together.
Too bad the nice moments went downhill though. I noticed Casey had moments of self-blaming but didn't expect it to be that bad. That moment with Abby can be a start for a process of self-acceptance, hope they keep working things out together.
And well, the confession. The answer was as expected but is good that Casey hears it directly from Abby herself, especially now that she seems at a low point with her self-esteem. Cheers Casey, there's still chance. Hope she manages to call Abby Storen someday.
"This was the first time she had ever cried in happiness" This part got me a bit, is really sad to think someone never experienced bliss like that before. Now wonder how Eve will feel after learning Casey heard it first. Makes me also think about what Najia's opinion will be about this when she wakes up. Sounds like she could be very understanding about it but who knows.
As for Kari's secret. I expected something along those lines but still, poor her. Abby wasn't sure whether she or Casey was more excited about her growing back, but I'm not sure whether Kari or Abby is more devasted about the bad news.
And well, it's also a bit sad to hear the story might be coming to its end but is something expected from all stories, yet I'm glad to see there's still more to come. Though, I wonder if you have something planned with other girls than the ones you mentioned in the previous review?
Anyway, hope you manage to get back into writing pace, just don't overwork yourself!
See ya.
Author's Response: I’m really glad you’re still reading my story Kenta. Your reviews are always nice to read and reflect on. :D I wanted to show the closeness of the two this chapter so I’m glad that you got that vibe from it with how Abby and Casey interacted with one another. Even if it took a darker turn later on. I’m also glad though that you understood the weight behind her confessions and in turn Abby’s. I always worry I’m not writing a feeling strong enough sometimes... ;-; I guess I might have foreshadowed to much with Kari, didn’t I? I hope it was still somewhat of a surprise. We’ll be going into that and into her next chapter so don’t worry. Also don’t think I’m not going to give any of the other girls any more attention. They weren’t just there for filler after all. XD I promise I won’t overwork myself but I will be writing again soon! Don’t you worry! Thanks again Kenta :D
Date: June 16 2018 9:22 AM Title: The Bad News...
Oh, wow, you are back! Nice chapter by the way, I totally didn't expect that the reason Kari was like that, was that she couldn't turn Abby back. ...Hmmm, I'm wondering how the others are going to react to this, Cassey seemed enthusiastic... Hey wait, did Eve knew? I mean she saw the future, or the paths that could lead to the future...?
Though it is cute how Cassey acts towards Abby, I still ship EveXAbby with all my heart.
Are you going to explain Kari's backstory in the next chapter?
Oh, and I almost forgot! When are you going to update next chapter? Hope it doesn't take over two months again xD
Author's Response: Don’t worry about what Eve does or doesn’t know. Kari has enough to worry about without an angry vampire hovering over her :3 I will go on to explain more of that later on. Don’t think that I added in the clairvoyance for no reason. I’m glad you enjoy Eve & Abby together but it will be some tough decisions once the time comes. I will be going into Kari’s past shortly, yes. As for if it’s next chapter or not, you’ll just have to wait and see. :P I-I promise I won’t take two months this time! M-Maybe...
Date: June 15 2018 6:17 PM Title: The Bad News...
I'm sooo glad you're back! T-T I was just thinking about your story and then... Boom! I see an update. Firgive me for not leaving reviews up frequently but I hope you know that I caught up and read this insane chapter!
At this point, I'm with Abby. Both Casey and Eve put their heart and souls into their respective dates with Abby and truly loves her as she does them and this mate thing is really a sacred thing. I should have known there was more to Casey's past. I don't remember if I said this in a previous review or someone else said it but deep inside, Casey seems to be the most sensitive out of the girls despite her tough exterior.
In all honesty, IMO I think Casey has the best powers. I alway thought the ability to manipulate shadows was pretty cool plus, her shadows seem to take on almost any shape or size so versatility plays a factor in that.
I had a feeling that was what Kari was going to say :( but I was hoping against hope it might be something different. Perhaps Naija might have a solution?
And about Naija, I just have a speculation here but the gang seems to think Naija will let Abby stay in the cave but what's Naija's backstory? I may have overlooked something but she doesn't seem to have a huge disdain humans but what if she does deep inside her heart but doesn't show it in order to be a strong role model to her girls?
Lately, I haven't been seeing a lot of stories that catch my eyes pn the site so you do not know how happy I was when I saw an update from you! I love this story so so much and hope you can keep updating! :)
Author's Response: I’m glad you liked the chapter Nothingness, and I’m glad to be back and at it again. :D I’ll try to have a new chapter up shortly so I’m glad you caught up. I was worried everyone might have forgotten about my story but it doesn’t look like that thankfully. “XD As for Najia, don’t think I plan on leaving her past unanswered. She will have some story time and there will most definitely be a point where she has a one on one with Abby about everything. That, I can assure you of. Thank you for leaving me a review. It really made me feel welcomed coming back to read it after all this time. :)
