Hey Dee! I'm reading this again and thought I'd let you know that this chappie has two typos in it, in the beginning you meant to write touch and instead you wrote tough and then towwards the bottome you wrote that the emerald general was from ruby whatever.. LOL. I love it... it's even better the second time around!
Author's Response: I'll fix typos when I actually get back around to fixing the chapters... And thanks about the country name--call it a copy/paste error. lol

I thought you changed the names of the countries. Yep I'm rereading finally! YAY... I love it... you know that though
Author's Response: Rereading? lol Yeah, I did change them a while ago. Though in the middle, they go back to the old ones, I think... I should probably change that...

This story was completly facinating and not like i expected but in a good way. i know you haven't started the other story but i would love to read more about it. or a sequel or something.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really do appreciate it. There are eventually going to be two others in the series, but for now, I'm taking a break and writing something a little different about the Greek system. :o) Thank you again, I really appreciate it!

I KNEW that dude was the devil! You write the cloaked man very well I think. The way he is always so cool under pressure and seems to have this condescending attitude while pretending it's all because he cares for his castle and his demons and especially the way he treats Nick. Like its supposed to be fatherly, but really is this sick twisted control thing. I think that's how the devil really works. Well done there. I also really liked that part about how god was holding them in a glass ball and when he was done he just dropped it and let it shatter. That was a great visual analogy. I think that's one of the things I like the best about your writing style. You are very visual. Every time I pick up this story again I'm always afraid I've forgotten everything, but is sucks me right back in and I'm in that castle in the darkness and I'm holding Nick's heart in my hands along with Minako. YAY for this story being finished finally! Now I get to go read the rest without having to wait!!! And WOOHOO for finally getting to see what happens between Renee and Minako! I'm really curious about how you're going to do that. I could see it going lots of ways. and LMAO at Nick's scene in thsi chapter. I mean, not that it's funny that he's just given up his own heart to save her, but the whole time I was reading it I could just see you sitting at our computer trying to type his last words and his last breath, and then I pictured him sitting up like he was on stage and breaking character and being like "What the Eff Dee! I told you I wasn't going to die! Nice try though!" hahahahahaha seriously, I have issues. ok, I'll stop rambling now, but it's been so long since I've read this one that I was really excited for it. Now I need to go read the end. I was actually further back than we thought. I had six chapters, not 4. So, five more to go Yay!
Author's Response:
lol I'm glad. :o) I tried to make him as much like the person he's based off of, but I probably failed in that respect, so, at least it's an interesting character, right? :o) Thanks muchly. :o) Aw, thanks. I like writing things that can relate feeling to reality. And feeling like your world is shattering is a pretty itense thing, you know? lol I'm glad you can get back into it so easily; I'm always worried that it's so far beyond normal that hopping right back in is problematic. I'm just as glad it's finished! lmao Well, hopefully their confrontation is interesting.... ;o) Nick's a pretty dramatic guy, you know he wouldn't have it any other way. lol And by this point, both of us knew he was going to live. lol Aw, but I love your rambling. lol That's okay, that means I get all the more chances to listen to you ramble. lol :D

Ooh, quite rather interesting! Still I have got to say you have me hooked! You really do have a way with descriptions! [Ashley]
Author's Response: Thanks. :) I hope you continue to enjoy it. :)
Date: 10/22/07 09:28 am Title: Pandora's Box
Whoa...wow...really, I don't know what else to say and that is a good thing. This definitely isn't your average every day fic but you have REALLY pulled me in just with the first chapter and REALLY hooked my curiosity. [Ashley]
Author's Response: I'm glad to hear that. :) I hope to enjoy subsequent chapters. I definitely edited this one a bit, but... I hope that, despite the older earlier chapter not being updated, that they still are an enjoyment. :)

you know, I never thought about you killing Minako. But then, I don't see how that could work... unless Renee got the box and wished her back or something... Anyway, I'm sure she's not dead.
I'm a little confused about the bright light that Nick was seeing. I know it had something to do with his demonic powers when he fully transformed, but I'm not quite sure what it was. Turning his own master to stone was pretty cool though. Nicky's the man! So was he able to see their life force or something? And Minako's not entirely dead and that's why he can still see a light around her? This was a really good chapter though. Great showdown. And I loved how Renee and her demons showed up at the end. Makes me excited to see what's about to happen. I hope bad things happen to Justin. lol. And I'm really curious to see the interaction between AJ and Joey. And Yay! everyone's finally reunited again!!!
Author's Response: Hmmmm.... You'll see... ^_^
Well... Nick's real powers are very mysterious... But... It does have to do with a clash of power. ^_^ Oh noes, semi-spoiler... >_>
Well, you're almost caught up to where I left off. ^_^ Hope you enjoy what's there.
Date: 07/24/07 07:04 am Title: Pandora's Box
ha! I knew it would be that guy. The one who knows about Nick's past... This will be an interesting battle. But that comment Brian made? How Minako couldn't wish to be with Nick... That was depressing. But when he said he didn't want to fight for an impossible wish, I could feel all the motivation drained from my heart. Like if I had been there I would have wanted to give up. Sad. very sad. They need to reunite with the others so they can all feel better again!
Author's Response: Oooh.... Youu knew, did you? Muahahaha.... He was the only one left. :D For obvious reasons. ^_~
Well... Unfortuanately, not everyone can be as happy-go-lucky about the situation as Minako and Nick.... But... I think his heart is in the place it ought to be. ^_^
Well, Minako is the cheerful type... And Nick always perserveres, so...
They'll be with the others soon though. ^_^
Sorry it made you sad though. :(

awww I loved this chapter!!! Deamons learning to help one another! It almost makes me sad that they might all die now. Before I just didn't like them and didn't care if the BSB boys beat them all up, but now they're kind of cute. lol Yay Joey!!! If they keep helping each other, like this, they will be very hard to defeat. *rubs hands anticipation the final battle*
Author's Response: Is this catch up on PBox night? Haha.
I'm glad you did. ^_^ I've always felt that if your readers don't feel any sympathy for your villain(s), that you've failed as an author.
PBox has no distinct lines of good and evil, in the end really... It's all a sujective thing.

This chapter was really powerful considering noting really happened. I mean the plot didn't advance at all, the characters are still in the same exact position as when it began yet I was sucked in. The emotion was powerful and I loved how you broke up Nick's speech. I remember when he said all those things but it didn't hit me then the way it did here. Well done.
Author's Response: Ah, thanks. I'm hoping everyone is getting to see Renee's true character.
And yeah, the chapter seemed to have a lack of direction until I put Nick into it... Then it seemed to have a place to go. ^_^
I'm glad you liked it.

Well I could say something about the heart eating .. but *shrugs* sounds like something I'd throw in a story for shocker value so not too shocking to me :p
Author's Response: Hahaha. I'm afraid people would be grossed out by it... Or they're all just so pissed about AJ's untimely death that they aren't saying anything...
Date: 07/15/07 08:24 pm Title: Pandora's Box
Hrm, interesting.. A.J. is dead :( but so is Joey! *dances* okay so I guess I didn't have a feeling one way or another towards Joey, he wasn't as developed as other characters... but the focus wasn't on him a lot. :-D
:p I read it finally :p
Author's Response: Hahaha. He did kind of fall to the side I guess... But... As it turns out, his importance was quite small... So *shrug*
Thanks for finally reading it. :)
No opinions on the heart eating though?

hola! It had been so long that I had to go back and read a lot of this chapter again. Dude, these guys have so many issues. How can they possibly think they will succeed when they can't work together? Man if I was Renee I would be tapping into my scary priestess powers to find a way to knock Justin around. He really pissed me off in this chapter. He's so... brute force... He's like an inch away from beating the one person that can get the box for him. Doesn't he think that she'll quit helping if he makes her angry enough? And why don't the others do or say anything? I guess they're probably afraid of him. I would be. Though I suppose he is the one that has kept her going this whole time. She feeds off the hate he puts into her heart and that's the only reason she's going through all of this. So, I guess it works. But I like Minako's way better. It makes me all warm and fuzzy instead of frustrated and angry. :D Yay, I need to read more, I promised myself I was going to catch up this month and it's already half over. I'll be back soo! *muah*
Author's Response: Welcome back. :) Eh, no worries, I always go back and read... Because I suck like that. Haha.
Well... There is a lot of internal strife between them... Chris killed Lance's best friend... JC was doing bountyhunting on Chris... Justin is a psycho... Joey seems to be the only sane one among them. Haha. But it's more fun that way. :)
Well, Justin has his own issues... Just like Renee.. But he is pretty scary. *nod*
They do have an interesting dynamic, don't they? :)
Minako tends to be a more warm, fuzzy, spastic person. Haha.
If it makes you feel better, I promised myself I would finish it this month... And it's almost half over and I'm still on the same chapter I was when it started... *pouts*

Girl...you know how I feel about this story...but where's the rest?! ;o) Just playing devil's advocate and telling you to GET TO IT!!!! *hugs*
Author's Response: It's sitting in my brain... Where else would it be? :P
I'm updating the older chapters right now, actually. :)
Though Chapter 46 has about 1230 words down....

Ok so this is going to be a very long entry since I just finished all 44 chapters. First off... wow... can I say anything else? Dee you have really out done yourself with this story... the love, the pain the mystery and the epic battles between good and evil... talk about a great story... LOL. From the first few chapters I was confused but then it picked up and I was hooked. My only complaint... why did AJ have to die first? Other then that I love it... the play of how Minako stayed pure and good and Renee fell into the evil darkness of one's heart... great storyline... I can not wait to read the rest!
Author's Response: Awww... Thanks Chelly. Kisses for you. :*
And it's not that long. ;)
Well, I try. You can't have an epic sized story without an epic plot, you know? Yeah, I'll admit, the first few are a bit slow... But they're also the oldest. Written back in 2005... So, I suppose excitment comes with experience, right?
AJ died first because it was his destiny. :") Maybe? No... *sigh*
Well, my Muse wants to draw right now, but... Hopefully it will all be up by July. :)
