I love this demension; it is so cool. Really exciting when the Mage told Buffy she had been "taught strangely...how can you breath...with so little air?" And THEN he tried to get her to explain Spike. Which, of course, she could not!

Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you like this dimension! I'm trying to learn how to create believable alternate worlds. And someone had to make Buffy think and Lioslath seemed the right one.

What an intriguing character you've created in Lioslath. His observations of the gang and their dynamic was entertaining and enlightening. I loved this capture of Buffy: "There are walls all around you. You exist within them, folding yourself to fit that small space. How can you breathe, constricted like that, with so little air?" Here's hoping she takes his advice and becomes more flexible and less judgmental. At least she's trying.

Author's Response: Someone had to break Buffy out of her narrow focus. Lioslath's a catalyst for all of them. Thank you for liking it!

I love Lioslath ... he's so fascinating! Excellent chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted a different kind of wizard. I'm so glad you liked it!

Had to check the chapter out today :)
Interesting twist in this chapter; so they are found out now. At last this man (Lioslath) sounds as if he can help them (and that's way better then trying to kill them all).
Mmmm but things got a bit more difficult with the gate destroyed. *wonders if we'll meet dragons again (not really though, Lioslath didn't knew of them)*
Loved the support of Anya, showing her her strength. Xander didn't like it. But Anya was like Buffy when she thought it's her fault that something is wrong (reminded me because Buffy and her men leaving her, starting with her father).
Too bad they won't have Lioslath around when they are gone. He's good, organizing and all. And judging / helping too (Willow).
Seems his works did make Buffy think a bit (that can never hurt, huh?)
~ Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I hoped Lioslath not knowing about dragons would let people know there wouldn't be any. I didn't want to repeat things. And Buffy really needs to start thinking! I'm so glad you like this! Thank you!
