kennedy complementing spike; dawn basking in what appears to be a developing romance and bufy's ego growing to the point she forgot the facts of" victories (she died, spike died.) marvelous read, thank you.

Great story. Want more.

"Buffy came across as undisciplined and arrogant, and Liana knew those qualities could easily get a person killed."

On the nose!

Buffy should remember that the ONLY reason she "defeated" the First Evil was due to Spike. She and her army of Slayers could have only delayed the inevitable in that apolypse! Spike was the hero then and he is the one designated for this particular battle.

Like the gentle romance blooming for Dawn.

Love, love, love this fantasy world of dragons and so on! Lovely imagery.

Just found this story and enjoyed it immensely. Well crafted and an intriguing storyline. Love your dragons - great characterization! If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to have one of your betas double-check word usage. Spell check doesn't catch mistakes when one word is used in the place of another. (i.e. chard vs. charred, sever vs. severe - you get the idea) But overall this is an excellent story and I look forward to reading more of it.
