To GenericName: I take it you enjoyed the story, then ;-)

To CaptainAsh: It is possible to have not seen "Blade Runner" until now because I "never got around to seeing it". Then I remembered it, read about it somewhere, and found it in the movie rentals. Interesting movie; not the best action, or sci-fi, or characters, but decent enough to warrant a viewing.

Now...
concerning the "fuck ups". I was uncertain what you mean by that. If you mean "too many f-bombs", I can understand the complaint. I actually had several more in there in the first draft, but cut a few out. The principle of the matter was to show, through his crude language, that he had screwed up major (more of "bad boy" than a "dapper masher" type).

And, hm... You were unaware he was turned female? Peculiar... I will check the phrasing of his transformation from Chapter 5. I try to be clear about character actions, and event settings (unless being purposely vague), so I always like to know where the readers get confused.

Glad you enjoyed the final fight. Yep, Sella'kib got taken out. As for Ultormiglok, a compromise had to be reached. Tormivol is bad-ass, but having a villain who might actually be capable of beating him (a phyrric victory) forces the characters to put the guns away (metaphorically-speaking) and negotiate. Demons dealing with demons - Tormivol is as adept at that as he is with fighting.

Hm... I do not completely understand your comment about "his mother would be turned mad..." You mean upset that Drazz'mik is a girl? She was upset enough to skewer Sella'kib with a claw of heaven-fire. If you mean "upset with Drazz'mik, teaching him a lesson", she might be doing that. Drazz'mik is essentially stuck as a female until (s)he overcomes Ultormiglok. Something similar to "Chrono Trigger", where the only way Frog can return to his human guise is by slaying Magus.

Glad you enjoyed the inner conflict.

What does "Fazit" mean? ^^

And, sequel? Hmm... When I provide my After Thoughts, I will discuss such possibilities.

^^ Thank you for the incoming feedback!

Now I am going to watch "Alien" for the first time, which, coincidentally, is by the same director of "Blade Runner", Ridley Scott.
