I want to take Firkon home and keep him as a pet. Why? It'd be like having a mouse that hates your guts but is completely impotent about it and it'd be hilarious to humiliate him.

He'd probably fume and throw little tantrums incessantly... make sure to soundproof his cage ;)

Very fun adventure story. I like the level of character development. Having Sihil in the story really heightens the tension by providing two perspectives from two characters that have a rounded arc.
I also appreciate your use of Latin as the second language. This is one of the rare times that being forced to take Latin in high school has done anything for me.

I'm glad I was able to help you get a use out of it in the most unlikely of places! As always, thanks for the review!

Enemies of kings
Barbarians tremble
Pay your debts
Under one ruler
?
Anyway, at first I started to fucking loathe the tomkins
but then
I thought about it
and I kinda realized this is really no different than the bludgeonings and murdererings that have been going on since the dawn of human history so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
skedaddle skedome
my dad's never coming home

Translation
Nine lords
To set the barbarians trembling
[Their] fealty is owed
Under one ruler
Tomkins brought war to an entirely new level - whereas human wars are often about one populace subjugating another, the tomkins sought the utter elimination of humanity as a whole.

Teagan finally has her epiphany, suddenly realizing that she actually does care for Sihil. Of course, there's likely no reciprocation, due to the horrors that Teagan has made her bear witness to.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you can see where the plot's heading! I dont know exactly where I'm going with Teagan and Sihil's relationship, but I'm pretty sure it would take a LOT for Sihil to stop loathing Teagan.
