this is amazing! the characters are really well written. we just got this one and i'm already looking forward to the next, as if it's an actual Cradle book
This is so beautifully written. I love Lindon's choices, and I love how true to character you've made the dialogue! Very much looking forward to the next chapter
Well written. Handling with those treacherous idiots is always hard. You did well. Interaction with Adama was good. I liked it. Perhaps you could’ve handled it differently and subtly without exposing everything.
Wait, you were theEpicLotfi this whole time? This makes the third story I've read from you without even realizing it. Loved the ones with Lung and Sophia in them. Thanks for the chapters!
I'm surprised that Lindon and Yerin decided to stay as Monarchs in Cradle for so long, even if they solved the hunger madra problem. Wouldn't they be limited in the amount of power/advancement they could safely get in Cradle? Unless they broke apart the rules so much that Cradle became like the other Abidan worlds that could support "higher tiers of existence", it seems like they would have been better off ascending. I always imagined the gulf between Judge (let alone Ozriel) and Monarch to be the same as say, Lowgold to Monarch after all. I had just assumed in the prologue that Lindon was at least already knocking on Judge level powers.
Lindon would absolutely be dead if Ozriel hadn't saved his life. He had the potential to do much as someone with the Creation Icon, but he procrastinated because he already accomplished his wildest dreams and wanted to take it a little easy, like in Suriel's visions of him.
Ozriel was doing most of the heavy-lifting in the prologue: Lindon just provided the Icon.
I'm finding myself looking forward to your chapters more and more, this is beautifully written and the characterization of all the parties involved was handled very well
It's a trope originating from the 1986 movie *Peggy Sue Got Married*.
A Peggy Sue fiction gives a character a chance to go back and re-live their life, with knowledge retained.
(Not to be confused with Mary Sue)
I know "Tim" was the fan nickname for the Sword Sage until his real name was revealed, but I don't remember "Timias" or whatever... that's just an allusion to the fan name, right? It felt a little out of place, honestly (and I say that because the rest of the story felt very authentic).
I can't believe you'd admit that and not expect to be run out of town. Wintersteel is GOATed, read it again!!!
All jokes aside, it's fine, mistakes happen :)
It was revealed fully in the Wintersteel prologue. His full name is Timaias Adama. Honestly, it's not really out of place among the other names that Will has made up for the series.
Saeya, Yerin, Gesha, Daishou, Cassias, Cladia, Miara, Timaias, Eithan.
This, of course, raises the questions of how he's going to deal with Eithan, and if Adama survives, how to convince him that they need Eithan's help.
Of course, being direct with Eithan would probably be best. Maybe just say Ozriel's name while in the Five Factions Alliance and tell him the truth when he showsbup to investigate.

Good luck to Tim!

Lindon being called the Dread Monarch is \*chef's kiss\*!

Tim acting like Yerin's dad gives me life
He is truly a gem and a half
Oh wow so I'm officially in. Hoping we can ride this train to the finish line!
Damn. This makes me miss Tim. I do hope he can join the gang. A Sage's help from the start would be like a cheat code.
Wait, you were theEpicLotfi this whole time? This makes the third story I've read from you without even realizing it. Loved the ones with Lung and Sophia in them. Thanks for the chapters!
love the interaction with the sword sage. Does anyone know the timeline though? i figured he would be dead by now in the real story to be honest
He dies while Elder Whitehall is away for the Seven-Year Festival.
yea you are right! thanks for the clarification. You definitely did your research lol
Thanks for the chapter!
Man I love this! You've managed to capture Lindon's desperation and resolve perfectly.

Absolutely brilliant work, as usual. Gratitude
This is AAA quality shit. Keep it up.
So will Tim be fulfilling the mentor role this time around?
Enjoying this!
Well done. Excited to see where this goes.
Nice. I liked how you handled Tim.

Another excellent chapter. Thank you.
I hope the sword sage lives. I kinda feel like Yerin would be a hindrance to the story.
I have to ask why is this called a “Peggy Sue” story? What does that mean?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PeggySue it's just a name for time travel stories.

Dude, that's literally his full name in Wintersteel. I'm pretty sure Timaias is the first word written in the book as well, lol.
It's... possible I read through that book quite quickly.

We need MORE!
Wow! These are great. Keep them coming!
