Considering that I am probably never going to actually finish this series, I have decided to open up a Q and A for everyone to drop their questions into. Want to know what happened to your favourite character? Ask here. Niggling plot hole? I will attempt to fill it as best I can. Wanna play in the universe yourself but have some questions about

Hey, this is sort of random but you mentioned that everyone suffers their own personal torments in hell, so I was wondering was Alfred and Arthur's personal torments are?

[hellzabeth]

Hmm, you know, I never really thought too hard about what specifically their torments would be. Arthur most fears being abandoned - for him, just flashing back to those years after his coven was killed, when he locked himself up alone in an empty house with piles of ash where people used to be, that would be hell for him. Screaming and crying and nobody being there to hear you, and this time, no Matthew to drag him back out of his depression and make him realise that he still has something.

Alfred is more difficult, because he's too crazy to be afraid of most things. What does freak him out is not being able to fight back. He strongly dislikes feeling helpless. His confidence mostly comes from the knowledge that, if he wanted to, he could escape this cell, or he could snap that person's neck, or he could do a runner off into the wide blue yonder and not very much could stop him. Being overpowered or weakened, though not necessarily physically harmed, would be pretty psychologically ruining for him, who has had power all his life in

I wonder, what happens to Li Shui after his imprisonment? How does he deal with the fact that he's been living with Maya, who killed his family, for a century? Does meet up with Matthew later on?

Li Shui spends many, many years in confinement. And spending that long alone with his thoughts makes him a little... unhinged. Not quite to Alfred levels, but he starts obsessing. Thing is - he doesn't blame Maya at all. She raised him, she was practically his mother all these years, she's always cared for him and looked after him. Arthur, when he did see him, was busy and fairly distant. In fact the only reason he was turned was because Arthur wanted to give him as a gift to Maya to keep her temper at bay (which, despite her protests, did work somewhat). Instead, Li Shui starts becoming fixated on vengeance for Maya, planning to kill the person who lead the prosecution - Carmilla
