I love the comment made by fox, that a man can change even if he remains furry around the edges.

There are truths in this tale, that ground your readers while you take us on a wild journey.

Very cool!

“When we are eager for information, it seems like a chore to verify it,” said Fox, “but that is the only way the truth can be sorted out.”

Great insight, Fox.

Lovely as always, Anna. Your stories are a highlight of my week. The diminutive wood elf reminds me of Reepacheep (sic) from Narnia or Pippin swearing fealty to the ruler of Gondor in LOTR. I always especially enjoy Fridays now! ❤️

And I so appreciate your comments, Michael! I didn’t think of that at first, but he definitely reminds me of them, too!! Such wonderful characters :)

As soon as they come from the darkness into the light, someone tries to cheat them. This kind of deception seems to happen often to new converts.

I deeply want to warn them to be on their guard.

The characters are interesting to follow around! Easy to feel for them and for us to want them not to fall in the traps. Well done.
