I agree with everyone else that sunset looked great! I loved it. I also liked how the Ruki got an appearence at least. It's nice to see some pets are being put into the plots, even if it is a little glimpse.

....getting bored...

With the plot I mean

Is it me or does the content of the plot not seem exciting, very predictable etc?

I mean like theres this small little fishing boat that comes to save Garin, knowledge that comes out of nowhere and other little bits and bobs that look like copy and paste.

The art, I agree, looks great but the content is flat.

It's a good plot, it just seems to be moving very slowly. It's part 7 and not much has happend yet. :oops:

Well, the fishing boat is just cliched in my opinion. It seems like everyone fallen in the sea would be rescued by some sort of fishing boat. But I think it wasn't that bad...

Yea, Maraqua was exciting but with this chapter I was expecting something really intereseting, oh well... suspense suspence!

sunset - gorgeous! Must ss that for future reference

the ruki? I thought was just weird, being all green and "normal" looking. Otherwise, this chapter was not very exciting, at least not to me. Maybe they're building up to something big for the next chapter?

I will say this, the artwork is wonderful -- kudos to the artists! and the story is actually keeping my attention (except this last chapter, kind of a yawn).

Yeah it is moving very slow... But i think the average amount of chapters are above 10 and below 15... So there are like 3++ to go

Let's just wait and see... I got a feeling we will bne able to take sides.. very very soon

Isca - Her Dreams Foretold The Future

"No! No, watch out... NO!" Isca shot up in bed, breathing heavily. She sat still, allowing her memory of the dream to pass. The water that flowed through her gills had a calming effecct, and the Maraquan Aisha soon drifted out of her bed and across her room.

She could tell it was morning, because to the sunlight glistened off the plankton floating outside her window. She picked up her favourite coral brush and began to comb through her long white hair. Isca looked at the mirror on her desk and, upon seeing her own reflection, the memories of her dream came flowing back into her mind...

In the dream her friend Briana, a Maraqan Acara, had been pulled into a dark trench by a whirlpool. Isca had a feeling that the Acara would never return.

Isca's stomach felt heavy. Throughout her life, the Aisha's dreams were often premonitions of the future. She hoped with all her heart that this one was simply a bad dream. In the back of her mind, though, she knew that it wasn't.

Maybe, she thought, maybe just this once I can stop it from happening...
... snip ...

The Acara looked ashamed before giging her childhood playmate a big hug. "Oh, Isca, I am so sorry, after all this time I should just listen to you." A rather pale Isca smiled at her friend, and again hoped that just once she would be wrong. It was a wish she had made many times before, and knew she would make again.

typos are from the magazine.

So I really don't know what the difference is between Isca and Caylis, except I guess one of them has to be "bad" so there can be a big confrontation or something.

Maybe they have the exact same dreams, but Isca is the only one willing to do something about what she sees. Caylis is just content to watch the disaster happen

Usually when the wars start, the plots don't progress very much. Although, this one may be interesting, seeing as how there'll be a lot more to it than just a big war to climax it off. Or so TNT say.

Even so, I think this plot is pretty good. I prefer a long and well thought out plot, compared to what we got end of last year. If I see another story about Hannah, I will personally find that drunken squirrel and take her into rehab.

Yay! At last, some action! At least we know what happened to Jaques now, poor Kyrii

I'm waiting for the end, where they try to take Jacques directly back to the surface and he dies from the bends, myself. :-P

Wonder if Isca is going be annoyed with Garin when she finds out he blabbed the secret existance of New Maraqua right in the middle of a seedy bar?

Probably not, that would make too much sense...
