[@Leslie Hall] No worries, just means that the anticipation will be even greater! ^^

In regards to possible side stories in regards to our characters... Well, I can see a bunch for Alkina that includes (but not limited to): How she deals with the outside world - the place she has longed for so long? How is her disability going to impact their journey - will she gain support from the others or slow them down and annoy them? Is she really a snow skinned demon that was chained by the Elders of the tribe? Have the Elders [i]really[/i] gouged out her eyes? Oh the many questions!
