Review:Capella Black says:
Ooh, what did cause the explosion? Colour me intrigued! This is a another great chapter, and we really get a sense that the action is coming to a head, as the mood gets edgier despite the main character's initial ignorance.

I particularly love the final line in this story - it really highlight's Herbert's skewed priorities and need to be the consummate performer. It also helps to make us feel even sorrier for him, as despite his flaws he obviously cared deeply about how it goes, and it really couldn't be going any worse!

Also, what exactly has happened to his brother? I'm beginning to get worried now!

Author's Response: I think there's a bit of confusion about some things that happened in this chapter (my fault completely, of course). The explosion--since I never did spell it out, I don't think--was caused by the worm, which was actually an Ashwinder (a magical snake that bursts into flame after laying its eggs). You're not the only person who's been curious about what really happened with the explosion, so I think that I definitely could have handled that part better. It was tough keeping it confined to Herbert's perspective, because he obviously didn't realize that the worm was so dangerous, and probably wouldn't know even as it was happening.

I do feel a bit bad for Herbert. He was certainly a little too wrapped up in himself, which contributed to all the problems at the play, but in some ways, what happened really wasn't his fault. He didn't cause the fight between Muriel and Aria, nor was he the one who stuck a dangerous creature up on stage. It just fell down around him, and you have to feel a bit of pity for him in that regard.

Thanks again!
