To all dear readers,

Thank you for supporting or simply reading Ein Gard and enjoying it to some degree.

Unfortunately... I have to end this series...

...

...

Kidding!

Actually, it'll end after hundreds of chapters! That's the plan, anyway.

I dare not give you an inferior product, and I have quite a time constraint this year... work...

(Boo me for not writing seriously when I had the time... Boo... huhu...)

Anyway, back to my original topic. I created this thread called Reader - Author Interaction "RAI" as a way for you to give constant suggestions and thought/critic/ about the series. I also enjoy reading your comments, especially those with idea/critic/feeling.

Since the 1st Arc -- one which I called "Background Story" already ended, I wish to hear some of your honest thought. Some did give me his/her critic on the way and I appreciate that.

B-but have mercy on me, please... Onegai Shimasu!

"RAI" in my 2nd language means celebrate, and in my 4th it's a short for thunder & lightning, so let's celebrate this thread with booming thunder until the next Arc!

I already planned several Arcs in advance, so here's spoilers... Just avoid the next two windows if you do not wish for spoilers...

Warning! Spoilers!

Arc 1 - Background Story

Arc 2 - Setting up the Stage

Arc 3 - New Blood

While I did ask you guys to restrain doing an in-depth review until after chapter 21, the amount of possibility that there are gems of ideas that you my readers could offer, entice me...

Sorry for being greedy!

Actually, there are many ideas at my disposal so this might be unnecessary but... I've seen and read many of the comments in RRL that simply WOW me...

"How come I didn't think of that?"

So I thought.

*Slightly bow in respect*

Thus, I wish to keep this thread alive until the next Arc -- of which I shall create a new one and close this one.

Well, having no focus in a thread is a serious no-no... so I'll start with Focus 1#

Nature Manipulation Poll

-- Do pick your choice. What element(s) of Nature best describe you?

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning (Metal), Light, Dark, Time, Space

Which do you prefer... and What is your trademark "Chant" and skill. You could also combine them.

Here's an example and spoiler...

Warning! Spoilers!

Wind Manipulation (Primary) + Water Manipulation

(Secondary)

“By the fecundating winds of which you send – It is from you water descends from the sky as our sustenance -- Verily, you are the owner of the heaven’s stores. I pray to you, O’ The Only One with Authority. Show this as testament of truth to my next generation.”

So dear readers... let's do this with a bang! :-LpendraguinRocker:-
