So it's begun, thanks to overtime it's a little difficult to get the posts in at a reasonable hour, but it is still here. Chapter 271 is now up! I finish up things with Demosthenes and answer how Yuki beat him. Since I did not make it clear at all, that sort of needed to be answered before I moved on. I had a bunch of a different ideas about how to end the fight, but I felt this was one of the more clever solutions to it.

Demosthenes does help to hint on things that the audience/reader already knows. But Yuki is completely unaware of it. Though he gets cut off before things really get interesting. Yeah, I'm mean like that, besides Eudokia doesn't want Yuki to know. And what I've been hinting for the last sets of chapters with Eudokia and Yuki, she's up to something with him. If it is not clear what she's doing, then you'll have your answer next chapter. ^^ It is pretty obvious now, but it should end up making a few things clearer now that you look back on it. Which I setup intentionally that way.

I had to leave things off on a really big cliffhanger. This was one of the bigger cliffhangers that I had already known was going to happen since the start of the story. It is pretty obvious. I have everything looking like Eudokia is going to succeed. Yumi is on her way, but still coming after her. And Yuki doesn't seem to be doing anything to stop Eudokia. The only up side is that you only have to wait a day for the next chapter.

Enjoy!
