first post! ha ha, the amazons can't get thier history right. ^^ but the question remains... does she turn blue?!

...um...ouch. So here's where the nasty part of the ritual comes in, I take it. Yeesh. And it doesn't help that they lose count of the battles they need to scratch her for! Maybe they need to write this down or something...

This... this is wonderful irony! She is asked not to forget the battles that no one can tell her about. Isn't the irony delicious? I suppose it does make sense... after all... how can one forget what one does not know? As long as she is never told about the battles... she'll never forget them!

OW! Thats got to hurt! As Wolf Dreamer said above, I very much enjoy this comic, It well made and has a awsome plot.Keep up the good work

Take heart, Mithandir. It sounds like you are pretty stressed out, but believe me, you're not doing anything wrong from where I'm standing. You're giving me a story to follow and delight in, and you're doing it for free.

I've said it before, but CtS is unique, especially for its whimsical, innocent feel. It is a work of art, and nobody but you two could make it. I've followed it for a long, long while now, and I'll still be there when the story ends (barring the usual acts of God, faeries, etc).

Oh, and don't compare yourself to the great masters. That's only a good way to hurt yourself. Their job is to inspire, to show us what to aim for.

*big hugs*

Ouch-ness for her and love for Mith.

Like everyone else has been saying, the comic has a specialness of its own that renders any comparison to other stories difficult. I've read so much that I can easily detect how a plot will resolve in most of the stuff I read.
Here, though, is a pleasant surprise and a story that /does/ carry itself well. Even now, as your female lead undergoes an unexpected transformation (of character, if nothing else), you are showing depth. I thought everything was going to be about Leaf finding his dad. I am pleasantly proven wrong.

Don't stop, and don't lose hope. It's not easy being an online webcomic artist (I've already flopped three times, but I'm going to try again very soon). Just know that you will always have our support.

Chill...
U guys are great!
only web comic I read

I'm curious to see what Leaf, Myhrad and Feiht are going to think after all this?

Heh this is the first comic I've come back to read for 2005. I can't wait to see what happens! ^-^

OK- I don't normally post, but I absolutely have to now. Mith, you're being way too hard on yourself. You're certainly not the first artist who had trouble posting a comic on time. In fact, out of the dozen or so comics that I return to every day, this is the one that has been on time almost 100%. Don't beat yourself up over missing a deadline- it's not the end of the world. All of your loyal readers will still be here when you come back. This comic is just too good to stop reading! Keep up the good work, and don't be so hard on yourself. This comic is worth the wait.

*snickers* And they still argue about their history, even in an important occasion such as this. ^_^

Whoa, Mith...

No body expects you to be more than who you are because you are fine as is! It's alright if you were planning some things for the site but they don't come around to completion. You don't have to be perfect, no one can do everything, just be yourself, it is okay.

And never give up. That is something else I learned. Great comic, great story and great job.

Yeesh! When I saw that first panel, I thought that they were going to stick with Greek Mythology.

ouch! poor ayne. i am tired of comments. now i am only going to make a comment when i actually have something important to say which is like all the time. YEAH!

Ouch! Poor Ayne!

OUCHIES! Poor Ayne.

Ouchaz! Poor Ayne.

I cannot shake the feeling that this is a bit much for a new bow.

Hey hum can i call u hmmmmmmm
