Sweet jewel of Draconia, big HUGS and SMOOCHES for you. Thank you for your kind words.
LadyRae, how could I continue to resist reposting the tale when you were so considerate and kindly persistent. I am glad that you found it enjoyable. As to such grand praise as being a master, and awesome, well.... this I just cannot accept. But thank you for such warm and hearfelt accolades. I do appreciate it.
If you had not been so considerate and kindly persistent, I would not have reposted it. Heh, that's what I get for posting a thread so late at night and thinking I could delete it before anyone had a chance to read it.
Yorick and Sir Taliesin, thank you very much, I am glad that this tale has not had the negative impact on you that I had been concerned about.
