Thank you for taking your time with the review! I'm glad that you had an enjoyable read with the Coldest Day, after all: this is my first chapter story I have ever completed, especially with the restrictions I put on it. ;D

I've also noticed that I've jumped from past to present tenses; and I can see how it can be distracting with the story--I'll be sure to correct this in future times, if I have the time to go back and edit the story a bit... but that isn't what matters now, is it? xD

I'm glad that you felt the suspense I tried my best to point out in my story; it would be heart-racing if you'd have only four nights to prove yourself to the best of the best. With the Lykos Kinsman and Metru Nui; something can tell me that this conflict will not be the only time we hear about this. ;) After all, in the rough draft I had Vantelic pass some Metru Nui Propaganda which would usually read: "OUR GREATEST ENEMY CAN BECOME OUR STRONGEST FRIEND", but pulled it out for some obvious reasons.

I have to agree with you on the character development, it is the most essential part of this tale because it describes the character and how they are going to change over the course of the story. I did want Vantelic to become a lot angrier around the end of the story because of all the things which happened to him over the course of those four nights, and I couldn't handle it if it went the other way. Not to mention, each assassin/bounty hunter were meant to symbolize somethings which will happen in the future of my stories. If you don't mind me asking, why specifically did you like Szsag? I'd like to know why because he is meant to play a larger part in my stories. ;)

I'm also pleased that you like parts of the dilemma, specifically the way he had to overcome his challenges in the story. I can understand why you could find the way "Doom-Viper" died was hinted at way before; but hopefully I can explain this in future installments. I also understand how it could be confusing how Vantelic healed from otherwise very serious wounds.

Overall, I'm glad that you liked the Coldest Day, and the score is what I expected it to be overall. Have a Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year. :D
