That was terrific. You captured the tone of the story beautifully and I loved the incorporation of music. Merlin's magical call to Nimueh and the scene at the cemetery were especially well realized. Excellent job all the way across the board.

Thank you so much! The part with the phone call was really challenging but the opportunity to experiment with that was one of the reasons I wanted to try recording this fic in the first place. I'm really happy that it worked for you. :D
