Kira:  You'll have to change the name then, I suppose.  The Really 

Noisy 

Forest?

LOL!

Kira:  Intangible Mountains?  Cephiro obviously has some interesting 

landmarks...

You have no idea...

SKJAM!:  Okay, from my skimming of the material, if Emeraude is the 

Pillar, any harm to her is harm to the land...sort of like the 

Fisher King.

Pretty much.

SKJAM!:  I take it that battle ended a bit more mercifully in the 

original 

timeline.

Quite. I'm actually changing this part, but by the time I'm done with 
it, it's going to be a lot worse than if I'd just left it as it is.

SKJAM!:  You could take her away without killing Zagato, maybe?

Moot point since she's not about to go anywhere she doesn't want to 
be...

Kira:  Suicide by proxy?  That's not very ethical.

Yeah....and if you've seen the synopsis of the second half of 
RayEarth, you know what her death did to Cephiro...

SKJAM!:  Oh, and I sent your friend to Ancient China, just so you 

know... 

I made it a bit more clear in that particular chapter in the repost 
version, but Emeraude isn't aware of what her prayer did to the spell 
Zagato cast. She, along with the rest of the people who knew what 
happened, believes Hikaru died.

Kira:  But apparently they've been back at least once, to get the 

incense.

I have to reconfigure this scene, to fit that in.

SKJAM!:  Or damage to the land causes the same to the Pillar?  

Perhaps 

the Intangible Mountains weren't the best place after all.

Actually it's going to be the other way around...I think. Something 
very evil is causing the Blemish, which affects both Emeraude and 
Cephiro equally. Though at this point....which one the Blemish itself 
is actually being inflicted upon is up for grabs.

SKJAM!:  And so we enter the next phase of the crossover.  I think 

we can 

pretty much guarantee Ryouga will be going to Cephiro with the 

Knights 

(being an author favorite and all), and Ranma doesn't have much 

choice, 

but who else gets to come along?

Put it this way: We're in for a long and exciting ride. I'm receiving 
a lot of helpful ideas and suggestions from Jorge Pratt (Arigatou 
Pratt-san!) and with all the brainstorming going on, this thing could 
end up being one of those obscenely long adventure tales we all know 
and love. In fact, it *will* end up as one, count on it.

Kira:  And a couple of questions...If Hikaru reverts to male while 
armored up, will the costume change to match the new gender?  Can 

Magic 

Knight armor be used by guys?  Will Akane get a much-deserved power-

up?

<grin> You'll find out...

SKJAM!:  And be very frightened if Ranma/Hikaru wakes up with an 

orange 

aura and purple eyes...  That's it for now, see you when the author 

finishes a few more chapters!

Hmmm....again, you'll find out. <evil grin> 

I should be able to finish up the edits on six and seven soon, and 
then I will set about writing 8.

Thanks for the C&C!
