I have just finished Ep 4 & 5 back to back. Lucky me I missed the cliff hanger. Thank you for the masterful foreshadowing in EP 4 I new exactly what was going to happen to Miss Aster in ep 5 and that he did not see it coming made me want to yell at my IPOD wake up boy Afanasia is giving you all the clues you need to working it out.
Ep 5 did not disappoint and I loved the way Aster is rationalizing his current circumstances as being a temporary illusion. E5 was such an important turning point in understand the art work for the cover, at first I looked at it wondered why the boy was drawn so effeminately but it now makes sense.
Moreover I note his physical characteristic seem to be close to Afanasia’s and can’t help speculate that maybe Afanasia will possess Aster some where in the future but that may be a product of an over active imagination.
Please keep up the good work the story is getting stronger and I can’t wait to see the Dragon again.

That the Empress Sword must force such an unexpected change onto the main character as a prerequisite for use makes for a most delightful plot twist. I am intrigued by the possibilities this presents and look forward to listening further. Thanks to you (and all the others who have contributed) for a marvelous presentation.
