Interesting. I find the last sentence especially tantalizing if you read the fic from the perspective that there is no afterlife. It is not the forgiveness of a god he seeks, but his own, and he only has one way to escape his self-condemnation.

Maybe that's not at all what you meant, but I think a literal reading would dull the humanity and tragedy of your story.

You are a very good writer. Do you write other things (i.e. not fan fiction)?

Author's Response: Not believeing in an afterlife myself, I love the fact that you picked up on that perspective, since it was the on I personally like to view it from. Thank you for commenting on it.
I have attempted a few pieces of non-fanfiction. but non of them are completed and they are all very slow going. But you never know, one day =)

awesome story!! I love how you made nicholas flamel fear death and how you combined the muggle and wizard worlds durring the middle ages!

Author's Response: Thank you very much! Combining the two worlds took a bit of time to pull of, so I am glad you think it worked well.
