Shadow Defender.... Shadow Rysing.... Whatever my name is at this point..... here...
This chapter was a welcome distraction. I enjoyed how you implemented an OC like Dounia, (I assume it's an OC) and tied her into the story while making her relevant. I wouldn't have ever guessed where that ability would of come from, so... Expectations subverted. Nicely done! Aside form that, Vulpix is safe! Yay!
Good job on this episode. Now, the wait for ep. 18 begins...
