I am quite enjoying this. Rat certainly is interesting. I wonder whether Death Drop knows Rat or of Rat. what do you think?

Enjoyed the two chapters and can't wait to see where this goes.

6426111 That would depend on how old Death Drop is (as of PtH) and how long ago he was a Shadowbolt. At this point in Rat's story, he's ten years old, and this is sixteen years before PtH begins (which would be 15 years before the earliest of Calm Wind's stories). It *is* entirely possible they do know each other, but probably not yet, as Rat has only *JUST* arrived at the Cirrus.

6426961 Thanks. I assume that you've read Calm Wind's stories as well?

6427367 Yep. ^_^ Fully caught up (until chapter 102 comes out).

Also, I want to ask. How did you get mine and The Great Animak's name when you replied to us as opposed to the string of numbers?

6427464 Thank goodness. I posted the story without realizing that there was a major spoiler for PtH right in the first section and I didn't warn anyone about it.

And to answer your question, it always starts out as a string of numbers. From my understanding of it, those numbers are the Comment ID for each comment, and then the site will automatically replace it with the name of the user you replied to *IF* it can find the comment in the comment section. I'm sure you've noticed that in PtH's comments section a few times.

6427363 ok presently he is 25 in ToDD, and reviewing data, he would have been 9 in your story and he is discovered by descent at 14, lived and trained with them 2 years then at 16 full member shadowbolts and additional 5 years, retiring after his encounters with nightshade and her pink crystals, then after a brief detox gained wonderbolt status and has been there 4 years till PTH story present.

another way to say this is he's a year younger then Rat and was recruited at 14

6428903 14? ...Oh, that's a fun coincidence...

6428938 I don't follow

6429179 You will soon enough...

6429378 hmmm soon enough.... ok theory time
14
14 years earlier important in story
age when something big happens to/for Rat, first thoughts are First kill
you plan to go to 14 chapters
something in amount of 14 that's significant.

that was fun pondering. doubt you'll talk before ready though :B

6429823 You're right that I won't share it right away. I *will* say two things right now: In your musings, you did manage to guess one thing correctly. However, it was *not* the coincidence that I was thinking of...

6431669 well aren't you a tease

6432015 Don't worry. When it gets closer, I'll let you know what's going on. It should make sense in about two or three chapters.
