I'm glad to see this start again. I read it all over a couple of days a few months ago and it's excellent, I like the degree of emotion there is in the story, the hopes and fears of your characters are far more realistic than many fantasy stories which makes them come off the page nicely.

I also like the development of the plot, I shall have to go and re-read the rest of Sethyas Volume II...

More?

Posted by: minque Jan 29 2010, 10:39 PM

This made my day! An update, a new chapter, continuing the story of Sethyas....ohhhh...Could it be any better? Well yeah...even more updates f course!

Anyway, a strong opening of chapter 4. The conversation between Rayne and Sethwas is well described, yet so sad...I mean I think she actually love him and I also think he loved her...once. Not immediately when thay got together, no he was still numb with grief over Ilmeni, but I honestly think he loved er at certain times. What made him stop loving her I can't exactly figure out but maybe it will be revealed, either here or in the Retcon-thread.

Ooookay..on we go, right Seth? farewell simple life and uncomplicated love! Or what? It seems as he somehow got at ease with life...but that could be an illusion.

Anyway I can't wait to read about his encounter with Lexie, how on Nirn would a love-story with a goddess turn out, if that is what's going to happen? huh.gif

Sethyas, Sethyas...my thoughts are with you, and I wish you luck, as always! wink.gif

Good stuff, I'm glad you had the time to update.

I like the dimension you're bringing out with Almalexia, though I can't see it going well somehow...

More?

Posted by: minque May 1 2010, 05:57 PM

Ohhh! You just made a dull depressing day to a really shiny one, Blackie! How I've been waiting for an update, sitting patiently..(ehhh???) hoping for it...

Aaaanyway, Seth is doing work for Lexie? Hehe I do hope he will get a nice reward when he accomplish his task.... wink.gif

I hope you will find the time and inspiration to continue....(like soon..)

YAYYY.....The Postmachine is back! Been away for two days, and what do I find? Three(!) updates!! Awesome!

You mention the Queen, may I ask who she is? I'm sort of senile these days, so I can't remember who she is...hmmm

I so much liked the list of artefacts and Seth's notes about them...

QUOTE
Chrysamere - Retrieved after duel with Serenes Uncle, returned to the Imperial Legion.


So he gave that back? Very honorable...

QUOTE
Ice Blade of the Monarch - Retrieved from Rotheran, given to Athyn Sarethi as present.


How he appreciated that gift!

QUOTE
Ring of Phynaster - Retrieved from tomb, given to Serene Catraso as present.


Oh? Sweet, sweet brother...

QUOTE
Staff of Magnus - Retrieved from Witches Coven in wilderness near Mount Kand. Currently in possession of Mages Guild on loan from Bal Isra Estate. Serene very disappointed in me.


Hmmm, yeah, she would have wanted him to keep that one

QUOTE
Warlock's Ring - Retrieved from Witches Coven in the south. Gifted to Serene Catraso. Very grateful.


Why who wouldn't be?

Question is, which of these will he give to the museum? I mean all of the things represents a part of his life...I wonder and.....

I'm waiting for the next part, ..ohhhh aye! Love it, just love it

The list was great. Very Seth.

QUOTE
Auriel's Bow - Retrieved from Ghostgate. Details unimportant.
<snip>
Spear of Bitter Mercy - Heard that there was Sheogorath shrine below my apartment in Vivec, God of Insanity spoke to me. Spoke to crazy hermit. Killed giant netch with fork. Still not sure where the fork is.

These were brilliant, I love the dead-pan humour.

And now he's remaking Trueflame... I can't wait to read more.

Ooh, good to see this story resumed. I wonder who could have retired the pawnbroker? wink.gif

Posted by: minque May 13 2010, 01:11 AM

Yessssss....more Sethyas! Humorous, brilliant as always! Blackieblackieblackie......S.G.M!

The things he went through! The nightmares....wonderful! Now get me right, it wasn't all pleasant for Sethyas, but it forced him forward, to what? I don't know, but it will be revealed, I'm sure of that.

I think we have come to get sort of more "under his skin" you tell about a Sethyas that is somewhat changed, for the better I want to believe...

I hope he will achieve what he's after when going under the city...and not get into such severe trouble that he'll be hurt (again)

One thing is for sure, someone on the island of Vvardenfell is thinking about him, hoping he's ok. Maybe this someone manage to reach him...who knows!

Wonderful updates, Blackie, makes me urge for more....
wink.gif

Posted by: Olen May 15 2010, 11:00 PM

I like it smile.gif. I'm not sure what else to say... its readible, well done and you really seem to be in the head of Sethyas, he's an very strong character and great to read about.

Your perspective on the whole nerevar thing is interesting and adds a side to the story which is fresh and unlike any other fanfic I've read. And Seth's reaction is bang on of course.

Great stuff.

NOOOOO! Not a cliffie....NOW!!! How do you think I'm gonna fall asleep tonight? Not knowing if that Seducer-thingy is going to kill my Seth or....hmmm well doing something else with him... wink.gif

The plot is really tightening now, and getting more and more interesting...

So I sincerely hope that I, when I return tomorrow evening, will get to know what happens to my favourite dunmer!

Pretty please...

Posted by: Olen May 17 2010, 09:32 AM

And we meet the seducer... I want to know what happens.

I loved the Dwemer ghost, you got him bang on. I laughed a few times in his exchange with Seth.

I swear, no one is happy with a simple blade that cleaves bone...always need the special effects.

Ooooh a new character. Novel idea too.

I wonder what Almalexia will amke of her...

I like this story, it's fun to read smile.gif

Posted by: minque May 21 2010, 09:19 PM

OMG! three updates...heh you are the post machine again! heureka!

I'm sorry I haven't commented for three days, but RL really has taken its tribute out of me... mellow.gif

Now then, I'm truly impressed how you described the interaction between Seth and Pene, just brilliant, going from "oops I'm gonna die..to showing great power towards her". I must admit I'm not so familiar with Daedra's personality in common but this creature really is special. I wonder...will she be tied to Seth for all eternity?

Now of course, what will happen next? What will he do with her? what services can she provide? I really like the way this story is going, thrilling indeed...


(So he thought of Serene in the moment of truth? Very sweet. I assure you she got the message! wink.gif )

Oh la la...So the lil' seducer helped out in the fight? Pretty sweet of her I think. Or might it be her urge to serve her "master"

Anyway this was a great update, I will give you my favourite lines:

QUOTE
That was honorable?" I asked bemused.

"You didn't say not too." she replied stoically.

"'Twas a jest. I appreciate your help." I replied.

"A...jest? If you appreciated it, then why state otherwise?"

"It's a mortal thing. Humor. It help us cope with danger--"

She began to laugh slightly, and I stopped mid-sentence, she knew us mortals better then I thought.


brilliant! Got a good laugh here

I love the interaction between Seth and Pene...what will this lead to???


More please?

Ahhhhh!!! She's a telepath!!!! YAYYY awesome! Good thing Seth got his fair share of practising that in the past huh! hehe!

So the sword got its flaming magicka....awesome (pyroil tar...wonder what the chemical formula of that is?..)

Now the scene is set....let the play begin! Looking so much forward to see what will happen next...

You're a blessed writer Blackie! Love it...

The post machine is gathering momentum again biggrin.gif And so is this story, the end of Tribunal is excellent and I'm looking forward to reading about Seth doing it.

Pene is a good addition, she offers a chance to play Seth's character off and makes this piece even better. I'm surprised Almlexia didn't realise what she was, but then the godess is mad - you're certainly showing that.

As Minque said - love it smile.gif

Lovely! beautiful....The interactions between Pene and Seth is.....I don't know what to say....more than brilliant!?

"Why are you Daedra so violent?" I asked her, raising a hand.

"I could ask you the same question." she retorted.


Well that's truth, right?? biggrin.gif

"You can read my head. But you don't know my heart. As we broach into this prickly territory, let me set some rules. You can talk to me via telepathy, and you can read memories I give you permission to read. But no further than that. Are we clear?"


Why does this sound so familiar?


You know how happy I am that you continue this story, right?? I'm sorry I missed to comment on your second last post....nope I won't even try to excuse myself, you already know how RL can be sometimes...

Upon thy return, you shall know the love of Almalexia!


Now what does that mean?...Hehe

Posted by: Olen Jun 3 2010, 08:02 PM

Woo good stuff, I haven't commented for a while but I have been reading about Seth's exploits. That bit of retcon lore piqued my interest too... Solstheim... Interesting.

Great stuff, your description of the clockwork city is already good and I'm fascinated to read more.

Great stuff, using their own traps against them is always a good tactic and always entertaining to read.

The interplay between Seth and Pene is well done, she's becoming steadily less condescending and more open, especially with her examination of the dead fabricant and wondering what made it go. The comment about their ruins was brilliant too smile.gif

Posted by: minque Jun 11 2010, 12:10 AM

Ohhh excellent writing! So good descriptions of the devices and stuff..hehe could almost see them jump through those swinging blades. That reminds me of something....a movie I think but I don't remember

First up - great to see this continuing. And nice to see the screenshots too, Sethyas is one intimidating looking dude! Well, so he should...

But, I digress. I read the update. Then I reread the last few updates before it. Then I entered the timewarp.

The year? 2006. I've spent the last few hours starting from the very beginning again and just reached Kogoruhn. And by the way, how fast did you used to write? I'd forgotten that! Will spend the next few days catching up on it all, so it's all fresh in my mind once again. Hard life I tell ya tongue.gif

Posted by: Olen Jun 7 2011, 11:35 AM

What he said about the continuance of this. I like Sethyas and am glad to see this is still going. It appears I didn't comment after the last part, but I was reading I assure you.

I like the puzzle element you bring forward in it, it makes the clockwork city more than it was in game.

And good screenies!

Posted by: minque Jun 9 2011, 07:56 PM

Handsome, handsome! Mmmmm Sethyas looks soooo good in that outfit! And he's still alive, that please me, ehh very much indeed!

Good thing he has Pene though...

Oh my now I want to re-read a lot about Seth, need to and will absolutely love it....guess why! wink.gif

Sethyas- with pictures! Woo-Hoo! Sorry- couldn't restrain myself- nor did I wish to.

You convey quite effectively the frustrations and atmosphere of the Clockwork City. And that last screenshot is the best cliff-hanger I have ever seen... (wanders off mumbling enviously).

S.G.M.

Great stuff. The screenshots look fantastic, well timed with the jumping one.

And then Sotha Sil, one of my favourite bits of that game. And the slow realisation of what's happened. You caught both well.

I look forward to the next chapter.

Posted by: minque Jun 14 2011, 11:42 PM

Yay! She's come for him! Or what? Can't wait for chapter 5!!! Great screenies btw, it enhances the whole thing...

S.G.M Blackie!!!

Posted by: treydog Jun 16 2011, 09:47 PM

Incredible descriptive passages throughout- enhanced by the lovely screenshots. You capture Seth's growing doubts and weariness perfectly, along with Pene's attitude.

The Clockwork City is grueling, frightening, bewildering... And you get all of that in, while still moving toward the final discovery.

And now- Alma is home- so to speak.
