There’s also great tension in this scene – I <em>knew</em> that there was more to Vale!<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/31383?basename=640742008-05-22T13:43:22Z♠Ana Cristina♥http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Struggle for Control of the Castle in the Air<p>Maybe we’ll get an answer now.
