This is going back into Samuel's past as a slave. He made a deal with the demon that he would serve him for 200 years, provided that his family will remain safe. The devil expects Samuel to be his Hunter. This reveals that Samuel's unique powers have been passed on to his son. You do a fine job of showing Samuel's emotional conflict over his situation. Interesting the way you use rhyme for the demon's speech. judi

Eloquence and poetic prose, I love it. The only problem I saw, which wasn't a problem, really, did slaves worship God? I'm not sure if they did or had their own religion. Just an observation. This dream sequence was beautiful. It added just the right touch of descriptive prose and internal conflict. The pace was sound and not a single word was wasted. Excellent work.

Oh no!! How did I skip this chapter... :/

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (I think on earth sounds much better than in earth. How can something be done in earth. The only thing in earth is the core and magma. LOL. Just my opinion.)

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. (I'm not sure if there's a version that says forgive them that trespass against us but I know it as forgive those who trespass against us.)

His skin was blood read, his eyes sky blue. (Change read to red.) Great chapter! It had me glued to my couch in suspense! ~ Rose

    Thank you very much. How did I write 'read'? Sometimes I just don't know. Oh, I used the traditional version of the Lords prayer. It is similar to the King James version.

    Ah ok. The traditional version. Keep up the good work. :)

Awesome, this was a great trip into the past. I love your discription of the devil, he was witty and sinister all at the same time. You made the reader feel for Samuel and fear for his family. Great chapter all around.

    Thank you. Readers needed to know why a basically good guy is doing evil things.

It sounds like Samuel made a pact with the devil in order to free his family. Is it directed against the slave owner, the gambler and those descendants?
This is fascinating with the verse dialogue of the demon. It definitely sets the character apart from the real world.

You have captured me with this story. I haven't read previous chapters, but this one has me reeled in.

A couple of queries; 'unlike any (Samuel) had ever seen...'

'unmatched 'by' any human...'

Look forward to the next chapter.

You are very write about the dream sequences. I have used them in the past to help propel the story. they are very effective and the reader is pulled right into the dream with the character. This was an exceptional chapter. Thanks so much for sharing.

You write well and your chapter moves along crisply at a smooth pace, before leaving us wanting more at the end.

Thanks for the nice read!
