I really loved this ending, after the climactic scene with the railway disaster and the little boy, Ollen/Navia/Ophee redeeming her mysterious powers. Beautiful.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It looks like I will be doing a retrospective (given no one has said no since I last checked) and as weird as it sounds, I'm looking forward to talking about how this ending almost didn't happen! So many things were different in the second half of this story and I am so glad I decided to flip the entire thing on its head. Stay tuned to hear about how the redemption almost didn't happen and more...

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the names -that was probably the most fun thing about this story actually!

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
