Lynx is as fun as I suspected. :) I love the scene of dancing pixies, that sure would have been a sight for sore eyes. It's so nice to see them all bonding.

    Hi May 1,
    Yes, Lynx is fun. He doesn't do things halfway. He's the type to jump in water without checking for rocks. Oh, but he does have fun. Thanks again for reading and the great comments.

I've been too busy to keep track of this, but you're doing a great job of immersing the reader into a world of pixies. Who knows? There may be such a place on another planet.

-A good chapter, Debi, that gives good
characterization of Lynx. He is certainly lively.
-I think he could talk nonstop.
-I like how you mention Rupert.
-It has been a long time, and I hope he is
alright, and that Piper will be able to
have time to figure some things out.
-I feel badly for Piper because
he is in limbo-who does he trust?
-He is thrown into two worlds, one
of which he really didn't know, and
now is supposed to believe he is one of them.
-You do a good job of keeping us in
suspense about all of this.
-The music and the pixies add a bit
of levity to the whole thing.
-The ending is interesting as far
as Redd-Leif is concerned.
-My guess is that since they are close to the
world of the Fae that Piper will somehow
figure out what is true and what isn't.

    Hi Pam,
    You got exactly what I was going for with Lynx--the talking nonstop. Sorry for the late response. I really do appreciate you taking the time to read and give such insightful comments to help me out.

What a great fantasy chapter! I honestly love all of the names you picked. I love stories of people who grew up thinking that they were normal only to find out later that they are something completely different and have a destiny ahead. Keep it up!

This is a very well written chapter that bridges the gap between the human world and the world of the elves and pixies. I like how each one has his unique personality. Thanks for sharing this fanciful story with your creativity.


You have an incredible imagination. Thatâ??s a great line about whatâ??s the best way to approach a group of pixies.
Bill

You've created a delightful world. Piper's reactions at finding a family he never knew existed, and one so different to what he's used to, are quite believable. I'm hoping there's no "trick" as he gets more comfortable in their world. great storytelling... ...ec

This is good writing. The pixies and the elves
when I was younger I would read anything about elves
they fascinated me. This does too a little. Like that Piper is getting
some family back I think with his grandfather gone. You might want to use that as to why he went with redd-leif in the first place.

Your writing is excellent. Well described with good scene setting and nuance of the characters. Piper asks the logical question, "If Redd-Leif really is my father then why didn't he tell me sooner?" Last paragraph concerning Redd-Leif's thoughts is very nice. Marilyn

Wow. This was really well done. I don't read fantasy at all, but I can clearly see the attraction to this genre in your writing. I especially liked the line..."Play something spirited, something they can really flit and zip around to." I felt these words went together beautifully and painted a great picture in my mind. I also liked that you prefaced the piece with the backstory and what had happened previously. That really helps the reader and provides a smooth and understanding transition. Thank you for sharing this and keep the prose coming. Good job!
