The first thing that Amber registered was that she was lying on bumpy and uncomfortable ground. She opened her eyes and rolled onto her side, lifting herself up and glancing around her. 

 

Everything was grey. Furrowing her brows, she looked at the scenery. Normally grass would look green, and the sky would look blue, but instead, everything had a grey tinge that made everything look depressing. 

 

“Welcome to Siracucia.” Amber jumped at the nutcracker's words. 

 

“Why is it so… grey?” she asked hesitantly. 

 

“This is the cause of the mouse king's rule. Had I done things differently, perhaps I could have saved my people,” he lamented. 

 

“Okay, hold up. So from what I've seen, he has some weird magic staff that shrunk me to this size. So then if we just go steal that scepter we can reverse everything.” She started planning things out, muttering under her breath.

Chapter 14: First of all, my abundant apologies for getting to this so very late. I think I honestly stopped visiting the site shortly after the contest and yeah... That's no excuse and I'm back now (for now anyway) so here goes!

I really did enjoy this. It was certainly unique and you made me laugh more often than I anticipated. Punching the Mouse King in the nose was hilarious. XD And I was additionally delighted by all the characters you used. It was fun seeing familiar faces and discovering how they were all connected. heh The intermissions were a neat touch as well and I like the idea of a storyteller trying to keep things on track and then eventually having to give up in favor of a new alternative. Quite amusing, I assure you.

I also found myself wanting for more details or more information, but the very lack of those bits and pieces made the story move quite quickly. Not a bad thing in this case. It was like a roller coaster ride where the build up is the trip to the top and then it doesn't stop until you get back to the station. The time jumps were nice too and that also carried the story forward without having to spend too much time on detail and description.

I felt a little bit bad for Yongguk (and Amber) at the very end there, but then he called his 'friend' and all was well again. haha Touche and well done. Thank you again for writing this and once more, I'm so very sorry it took me this long to read and respond. I do believe this is my first Hakyeon and Amber story and I'm quite happy with it. :D
