I didn't ignore the reviews and I reckon you could stand to tone your attitude a bit. I wouldn't have asked for these if I didn't intend to listen. Now, ...

I fixed the bits you've indicated - most of them were typos. And I'm well aware of how info-heavy the first chapters are but I really needed to get that ...

The Valnr kidnap people in order to sacrifice them to the pylon's - the Prana inside humans is used to speed up the activation of the Dark Atrium. Ryouma explained ...

Oh, of course. There are hints to be dropped - soon enough!

There's big conflict coming but I'll be slowly inching towards it. Don't forget that this war has been at a stalemate for 800 years, so it'd be kind of weird ...

Aside from a few moments where Hilda's remembering things, the other chapters have always been in the present tense. :o Maybe you're misremembering thing or you found a place where ...

I hear you - I've been purposefully holding back on her past for now. We'll get a closer look at that soon, don't worry. As for Owen, he doesn't hate ...

I'm glad you're enjoying this. Now, Hilda IS speaking Swedish and allowing herself to be understood - everyone is speaking their native language and naturally using Prana to communicate, unless ...

Thanks for your comment, Skins. The problem with all the info is that the basics pretty much need to be established right now or I wouldn't be able to progress ...

I had made mention of the weather being very windy a few chapters back, so it must've slipped my mind in here - I've made a small addition to fix ...

Thanks, it's always good to hear that people are enjoying this. As for the past tense bit, I wrote like it because it's meant to be the narrator describing Hilda ...

Two quotation marks because Ryouma opens it by quoting what Hilda just said "Scion of Orlen". As for that Ryouma line, I don't see it as him being condescending but, ...

Word likes to capitalize words inbetween dialogue if it sees a period nearby... I try to keep an eye but it often slips by me. I reckon they're fixed now. ...

Many thanks for your review. I'll be going into more detail about Hilda and the Scion's daily life in the upcoming chapters - figured this one should be kept on ...
