Thank you, Anonymous. Whoever you are.

Dragon Tamer, you are, in my opinion, the best writer on this site. Your stories are so well written, and I'm actually a little jealous. I enjoy writing stories myself. But all the same, your stories are great. Keep 'em coming!

Skull --> Having her be that way was a deliberate move. Since a certain degree of mystery was integral to her personality, I thought it would me a mistreatment of her character, an abuse of sorts, to leave her with virtually none. So I decided for a mysterious beginning and a myserious end.
As for the unanswered questions, one never knows. I do look forward to seeing what you come up with, though.

Well, I love this take on Aniu's story. I wonder what happened to her at the very beginning, why she was left there?

It all makes sense now. I wonder...did Balto ever reunite with his father? Did Kava actually die? So many questions! Maybe "I" should write a story to find out the answers.

All in all, a tremendous work, Dragon Tamer! Good job, times a million!

Fuya --> That's not made clear. Even I don't know the answer.

Ohhh, how sad. Great story, though. Did all Balto's brothers and sisters die?

Leaf --> Thank you. Hope the rest are as good.

Very nice, so far. I am on Part 2.

Whispers --> Keep reading, and you just might get your wish.

A beautiful story, just amazing! Maybe one day you'll write something where Balto and Kodan meet!
