I do all of my fanfic covers. I guess it's because it gives me more freedom to make it look the way I want it to.. Regardless of whether the art is any good or not.
3286215 dude your art is great. very talented man n i mean that suprised your fics arent getting the attention they truly deserve. well from one author to another i am a fan dude
keep em coming. great work. 
solid action. well paced. good developments and some nice emotion. solid chapter. great work.
great chapter. many have hate for over the top action which is just about the dumbest thing imo. fiction is supposed to suspend belief. its a realm where anything and everything is possible. look at indy for example none of that action could really happen same thing with die hard but i love action. this action is adrenaline fueled and fast paced. i love the indy feel of your story and your dust character. great job cant wait till the next chapter. are you planning a sequel? i hope you make one.

3453454 it hit me instantly. still a nice reference even if it wasnt intentional. i look forward to reading the next chapter.
great world building and solid action. cant wait to find out how they get the cask back. good work. next update is even more anticipated!
nice
i love you action sequences. very indy/die hard. the queen! 
nice cliff hanger as well. i eagerly await the next update. great chapter. 
here, again, i see the same problems u had in MDW Everfree...that ending was...well, lack luster in the extreme. i wasnt even going to read this fic because Everfree was such a disappointment, but i did and i gotta say, u had ur good points here, like with Everfree, but it felt a little like u were trying to rewrite and meld together aspects of the first three Indiana Jones movies. the cask was like the Ark, the guardian monster and the temple is protected seemed quite a bit like Temple of Doom, and u had elements of the Last Crusade as well...
i liked it. good book. sequel pwease. good work.

Besides, I do try with these fics, you know. I'm quite aware I'm not the best with endings, but I'd basically come to the end of the story. If people want me to rewrite the ending, I will. But I don't see why a short-ish conclusion was so bad. 
I can't help being an Indy fan. Sorry 'bout that.

And I can tell you as a matter of fact that I have some ideas melding together for a sequel, so I hope I can start that soon. 
Thank you so much for your support throughout this. You've been fab.

There. I've fleshed out the ending a little, so it's not quite so brief. But it's remaining as it is now. Apologies if you don't like it, but that's just how I wanted to end it.
Well, that was....nightmarish.
I knew the Cask would backfire on Chrysalis, but I didn't expect a "Dragged off to Hell" fate for her. Oh well, Daring and her daughter are reunited, the Cask is destroyed forever, and hopefully the Changelings will get a less psychotic ruler with Chrysalis gone.
Excellent work!
3527350 Did I not reply to this? Sorry. Yay! Sequel! Can't wait to read!
I haven't read this yet, shouldn't this story be under the Daring Do group?
