I really enjoyed reading this and I can't wait for a new chapter!My favorite character is Elena, because of the longing Castin has for her and it reminds me of a love long lost in my own life.When the Rat King's whiskers caressed Castin's cheeks, and they both squelched, I felt a shiver run down my spine.I never would have expected he would use his skull as a beer mug, that came totally out of nowhere!Keep going, I love it!
