I have a feeling, Wolf, that you know a thing or two about casting circles and handling yourself around the other realm??

Author's Response: I confess: Bryony is a Mary Sue character for me (where the author writes him/herself into the story). I'm a degreed Wiccan High Priestess and occasional ghost-hunter in real life. I wrangled with how much real ritual detail to put into the story without bogging it down, because in reality, ritual can be, and frequently is, boring to watch or to describe. I tried to find the balance between what was technically accurate, and still literally interesting, and still keep the characters 'in character' and the storyline intact and the plot cooking right along. I hope I achieved that.rnI wanted to write Sam and Dean into an X-Men story because I love an occasional cross-over, and these are my favorite characters and stories. I completely identify with Dean in so many ways, even down to the car - mine is a black '67 Grand Prix, a first cousin to the '67 Impala. It is bizarre how much we have in common. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I think there are two chapters to go. Hang in there!
