Well done Little Grasshopper !!!

This has a terrific fantasy feel to it. Partly it's all the thees & thines, (no idea if they're all grammatically correct...but it's done well enough to fool me,) but mostly it's just the excellent choice of words...the story really has a great fantasy flavour.

The only wee criticism that I'd make, is that I'm not totally sure why Annabel died. I know The Lady of the Woods warned her not to trust Jonathan, but he never actually did anything evil...nor did Annabel...so I was a bit confused why she had to die.

Oh Yeah, and why is it called Wolverine?

Other than that...excellent work.

Now, if you can just snatch this pebble from my hand...

Adios :hat

DN,
Thanx! and...







the Evil Eye is known to cause death.
"According to superstition, an evil person who has this power may use it to cause such misfortune as death, illness, or property damage. A person may also unknowingly have the evil eye and cause harm unintentionally."
Jonathan unintentionally cursed annabel then killed himself in grief.

It's called Wolverine cause Jonathan's wolfish side resembles that of the animal called the Wolverine.
Thankx again! And look! *points over Dn's shoulder and grabs the stone* hehehe!:crazy

beautiful piece Draco.... only suggestion I would make is to continue the romantic olde world wording throughout, particularly in the union...
I actually understood the conclusion, made it all the more bitter sweet..

well done :clap (in my humble opinion)
