I love it!!! I wih it was longer, but oh well... :)
Author's Response: Hi, thank you for the review - The Arche was written while I was fighting writr block for Our New Wolrd, but I had no material in my mind for a longer story (and possibly, having chosen very ancient historical period, I would have had troubles to imagine life and practicalities of that time). But I am so glad that you liked it and took the time to tell me..

It probably would be best if she avoided the spring for a while. I wonder if she'll have to keep drinking from it or if once will be enough. Will she be able to have more kids once she's drunk from the fountain? Questions question. Again, thank you for posting this story, it is very much appreciated, and I can't wait to read your next story :)
Author's Response: Well yes, she was pregnant and it could create a lot of problems if she drank. I don't see problems afterward. You will see I have answered your review to Food for the Gods. Thankyou for R&R. People tends not to review completed stories, which is a pity.

Dudes got buns of steal. Thank you for putting the time and effort that you have into this story, it definitely shows
Author's Response: Oh, you are making me very happy with this comment!
Reviewer: alegranotes (Signed) · Date: January 02, 2012 06:33 PM · On: Chapter 3 Impossible
I loved the picture. I will admit, the different names made me a little wary in the beginning but I'm glad that I continued reading
Author's Response: My sense of history could not bear to have and archaic Greek guy called Edward, so I had to translate the names, LOL.

Thanks again for posting your story, I'm really enjoying it :)

Ah, the longer lifespan of centaurs, of course. I didn't think of it. Poor Alexios -- he doesn't realize that all he needs to do is wait until a few more years into the marriage and then the prospect of her dying won't seem nearly so tragic. ...hehe, just teasing. This was a beautiful story of two souls finding each other and loving without doubt. I enjoyed the Greek mythological creatures and myths, along with the backgroun in your wonderful notes, and I love the idea of him changing back and forth from man to centaur. Gee, wonder what was planted in that herb garden...

P.S. My sister and I were laughing about our unbeleivably wretched accomodations in London on our trip 10 years ago before she lived there - literal hole in the wall, springs in the mattress, bad, bad, bad.
Author's Response: I did love writing this story, particularly because it is my first attempt to go outside the Twilight universe... It has to be, sooner or later. But for the moment, wait for the return of the parachutist. And thank you
Reviewer: Lion_in_the_Land (Signed) · Date: February 10, 2011 07:34 PM · On: Chapter 4 The Dryad
Wonderful casting for Alice! Of course she’d be the one to help him. It was nice the way you relayed her experience through her facial expressions…and him watching them. The transformation and meaning behind the vegetation was fun. All around an enchanting tale. I can’t imagine what obstacle still lies before our lovers.
(Sorry to be delayed in this review—I ended up leaving town to visit my sister in London earlier than planned in order to avoid an impending storm. Had a great week and am now sad, missing my sister, but happy to be back to my children w/ the extra bonus of getting to finish your story. :))
Author's Response: Don't worry about it and thanks for the review. (I would like to go to London too. But it is one place werre a decent hotel costs the moon and the stars - or you have to stay in a still a costly B&B where the owner (Indian, normally) laughs at you when you complain that a handle came off, the shower is only pouring scalding or frozen water and the bedside lamp has no bulb ....)
I have finally overcome the writer's block on the sequel to The Parachutist and am finally writing. Expect the fist submission during Lent ...

Perfect final image. Could not be better.
...
Thou still unravished bride of quietness,
Thou foster child of silence and slow time,
Sylvan historian, who canst thus express
A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:
What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape
Of deities or mortals, or of both,
In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?
What men or gods are these? What maidens loath?
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endeared,
Pipe to the spirit dities of no tone.
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal---yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss
Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!
Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed
Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;
And, happy melodist, unweari-ed,
Forever piping songs forever new;
More happy love! more happy, happy love!
Forever warm and still to be enjoyed,
Forever panting, and forever young;
All breathing human passion far above,
That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloyed,
A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.
Who are these coming to the sacrifice?
To what green altar, O mysterious priest,
Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,
And all her silken flanks with garlands dressed?
What little town by river or sea shore,
Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,
Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?
And, little town, thy streets for evermore
Will silent be; and not a soul to tell
Why thou art desolate, can e'er return.
O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede
Of marble men and maidens overwrought,
With forest branches and the trodden weed;
Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought
As doth eternity. Cold Pastoral!
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty"---that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Ode on a Grecian Urn, John Keats, 1820
Author's Response: Oh thank you for this. So much!

What a lovely representation of the beauty of the male form. You have chosen these illustrations with such loving care. Thank you for sharing.
Author's Response: Yes, I surf a lot and this handsome man I was sure I was going to make use of, sooner or later.
Reviewer: miaokuancha (Signed) · Date: February 09, 2011 09:40 AM · On: Chapter 3 Impossible
Oh my god that is an amazing picture! I truly was mystified by it until I read the paragraph at the end of the story, and then I saw the face plainly. Great work!!
Author's Response: I did nothing, I just found the image and could not believe it. Alice, I cried...
Reviewer: miaokuancha (Signed) · Date: February 09, 2011 09:38 AM · On: Chapter 2 Alexios
That's a pretty passionate kiss in the picture. <3 Very well suited to the poem fragment. Lovely.
Reviewer: miaokuancha (Signed) · Date: February 09, 2011 09:36 AM · On: Chapter 1 Prologue
Lovely lovely banner. And of course I love the story that goes with it.
Author's Response: Thank you for checking on Twilighted too. I am so frustrated that I still can't learn how to make banners and images accessible from ff net.
Reviewer: Lion_in_the_Land (Signed) · Date: January 29, 2011 07:50 PM · On: Chapter 3 Impossible
Camilla! What did your husband think of that one? Well, I tell you what I think: "Alexios let love tell him what to do" Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Kallia is so brave and trusting of her heart. And Alexios always so cautious and frightened. But they do have themselves in quite the predicament. I hope the tree will help them. :)
-LiLa
P.S. I can imagin Alexios' birth - adorable and so, so sad.
Author's Response: My husband is slightly scandalized by the story but is keeping up. After all, Greek mythology is like that. And yes, the solution will come from inside the tree.
Reviewer: Lion_in_the_Land (Signed) · Date: January 28, 2011 07:53 PM · On: Chapter 2 Alexios
Oh my this is a compelling love story. It's even more impossible than human/vampire, but I so much want them together. You did a nice job of building up the mutual attraction. I feel it.
You strike a nice balance between making him feel human, yet continuously reminding us that he's part animal too. Kallia's natural curiosity is so cute and makes me laugh, especially when her mind gets away from her.
Egads, your female version of a centaur is horrid! I mean that in a good way, becasue it's completely appropriate for this story. It makes poor Alexios' lonely fate even more pathetic.
Looking forward to the next chapter, which I hope to check out tomorrow.
-LiLa
Author's Response: Thank you so much, your reviews are delightful. From Jmolly, and author I adore, I got the suggestion that maybe such horrible/sad female centaurs exist in a book by Piers Antony, a SciFi/fantasy writer I devoured some 30 years ago.

I liked this short story. Thanks for writing it :)
Author's Response: Thank you for reading it and telling me. It is the whole point ...
Reviewer: Little-lamb (Signed) · Date: January 22, 2011 09:33 AM · On: Chapter 5 Colchis/Epilogue
I'm really sad that you've finished this story so soon. I truly enjoyed it & hoped that you would make it last - add more events or write longer chapters.
I'm thankful that you wrote it though. It's different to all other stories on this site & I've never even read about centures before. Thanks for writing (:
Author's Response: This was more of a fairy tale - albeit not exactly for children, ahem - than a novel. I had in mind the kind of books I got as a young girl telling me of Jason, Perseus, Eracles etc. Those stories were not very long either. Originally, I had in mind an one shot but Alexios drove me to write more. So glad that you liked it, despite its brevity.
Reviewer: Virginia May (Signed) · Date: January 18, 2011 06:04 PM · On: Chapter 5 Colchis/Epilogue
Hello, my dear Camilla. I do not understand your lack of reviews. This is such a lovely, but also lemony fairytale. Maybe just the thought a a horse and a woman squeeked people out?? I am very happy with the tale you wove and nothing unseemily happened at all. It was very good!
Until next time!! Ginnie
Author's Response: Hi my dear, thank you. I am resigned to my fate, I have wonderful reviewers, intelligent ones. Only, not very many of them. In this case it is maybe because stories without Edward and Bella proper are never that popular (Take Carmen'story, I think it is very good, but it had many less thatn Heartbroken). If you wish to help me to .. enlarge my audience (??) and if you feel like it, do nominate one or few of them for the plethora of competitions going on all the time. I won't win ... but I'll get more readers ...
In any case, I love to write. I am not prolific as I was at the beginning, when stories poured out of me like running water, but I continue (Yes, I'll end the damn sequel of The Parachutist - It is slow due to the amount of research involved. The US in the late 40s - what do I know? I am now stuck with the town of Syracuse NY, despite acquiring a book on it, I still don't know enough).

Great stuff Camilla. You've written a mythological thriller worthy of your wanting and happy fanbase, for you have made us happy. By the way, nice use of photographs in this story :)
It's been a fun read but I must bid you audios and take myself back to my studies. But quite soon shall upload a story from fanfiction.net which I think you may enjoy. Or not, we'll see :D
Great work,

Wow, this is some damn fine lemons :D You are a master at it. In a story of mine I'd recently written a lemon with a werewolf and I have to say that your wonderful work inspired me :)
Great work,

Author's Response: Mmm, a werewolf ... somehow they don't inspire me ... maybe in the future
Reviewer: snowgood (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2011 08:46 PM · On: Chapter 5 Colchis/Epilogue
I loved the tale! I can only imagine what made this pop into your head and tie it to twilight! Now, I'm looking forward to a certain sequel...
Reviewer: Master of the Boot (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2011 06:40 PM · On: Chapter 3 Impossible
You never cease to amaze me. You always come across as sincere and worldly when you write. So many other writers come across as insincere or deluded but never you. I consider you one of the wisest people I know.
I love you lady, let's just say it ;)
Awsome story and definitely a favorite. Great lemon by the way.

Master of the Boot
Author's Response: I do like to write lemons, if a story needs them ... but you should see how I agonize about them. It takes me days to complete a paragraph ... and then the agony is repeated when I traslate them in Italian ... maybe because in the second case my husband is my beta.
Reviewer: Master of the Boot (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2011 06:30 PM · On: Chapter 2 Alexios
This is a very cool story :D I remember about the diet of the centaurs from the books I read. And while lovemaking may not be possible for them, love is certainly a possability :)
Excellent work and for someone who hasn't studied greek mythology for ages you are a natural at it.

Master of the Boot
Author's Response: Ha but I read a LOT of books for children where mythology was transformed in fairy tales. They were great! I so love that you take the time to review every chapter!
Reviewer: Master of the Boot (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2011 06:22 PM · On: Chapter 1 Prologue
I'll say that this is a sweet start :D Sorry that my school has taken so much of my time. But thanks for bringing me here.
This is really a fabulous start. It reminds me of my favorite sword and sandal films :)
Did you ever watch Ben Hur? I love that one.
Ta
Master of the Boot
Author's Response: Of course - while Charlton Heston was never my favorite actor or person. I think one of the best film of the genre was Spartacus, (Kirk Douglas), historically accurate and tragic, at the end. In Italy there was even a long series of B movies featuring Heracles or Macistes (?) with muscled heroes and scantly dressed girls .
Reviewer: readergoof (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2011 05:00 PM · On: Chapter 5 Colchis/Epilogue
cant wait for the next
Author's Response: When I started writing my twilight inspired stories I could not stop - they poured out of me. Now I am more ambitious, writelonger stories, and am not so prolific. But it is funny, at a certain point something clicks and I am there ...
Thank you very much.
