They're the most dangerous, most powerful, most evil monsters who ever existed in Eden. Jovian & Jacqueline, Aeon, Seraph, and Twilight all hold the title of Dark Queen, and rightfully so.

But who do YOU think is the weakest Dark Queen? They're all very powerful, of course, and to think of ANY of them as "weak" would be a VERY unwise move on anyone's part. But which of these four incredibly vicious ladies is at the greatest disadvantage when compared to the other three?

In my personal opinion, from what I've seen so far in the series, I think the weakest Dark Queen may be Aeon.

Allow me to explain. Aeon certainly has a lot of advantages: she can control time, stop time for all those around her, AND can predict the future to some degree. But besides these powers, she's mostly just an ill-tempered butterfly with a lot of strength and a TON of arrogance.

When compared to the other Dark Queens, they all seem to trump Aeon in some particular area.

Seraph can take away any monster's free will and use them as her personal slaves. Even the other Dark Queens cannot resist her control. Aeon herself admitted that she would be no match for Seraph, even with time stopped around her!

Twilight, being the Dark Queen of Magic, is more in tune with the Ether than any other being in the world. Chances are, she probably knows how to counter Aeon's chrono manipulation and omniscient sight. Not to mention, Aeon has a personal grudge against Twilight, whatever that involves. So, it may be in Aeon's best interest, and personal satisfaction, if the Reaper stays locked up.

Even Jovian & Jacqueline would be a nuisance to Aeon. First of all, neither half of the Gemini can die, so Aeon's minions wouldn't be able to kill them off. Secondly, Aeon can't break the Gemini's minds through torture because Jovian & Jacqueline can't feel pain by any traditional means. They'd probably just laugh in Aeon's face as she tries over and over and fails each time.

I know Aeon may have more than just time manipulation and infinite knowledge up her sleeve, but, as things stand, the other Dark Queens seem like they would be a bigger threat if and when they're let out. While they all enjoy being "hand's on", Aeon is more of an indirect villain: one who carefully plots and strikes from the shadows, paving the way to her victory while keeping everyone in the dark. But this may very well be what trumps the other Dark Queens.

Raw muscle and powerful magic are good, but a clever plan can topple a whole army.

Now I know that there are going to be some who will look at this discussion and comment that of course Cindy has a child and her name is Snapper. However, that is not the purpose of this discussion as we are explore is it possible for Cindy, and by extension other Sand Wraiths, to breed without having to consume others to do it and how. Now I am of the impression that yes it is possible for Cindy and Sand Wraiths to have children with have to consume others due to an important fact mentioned in the first book of season 2. As Cindy's mother has explained Sand Wraiths breed by adsorbing the "lifeforce" of those that they devour not matter that they are a man or a woman. Now while this may appear that there is not other means for a Sand Wraith to breed that may not be the case. After all a Succubus drains lifeforce while they have intercourse with men and fairies sustain themselves on what they call the juices of life that they get from women. Here in lies the clue on how a Sand Wraith could breed without needed to devour other as all they would need to do is adsorb the juices that men and women expel while in the act of mating as that would carry the lifeforce that they require. Now while this method could take a little longer it would be an alternate that could allow the Sand Wraith to coexist with other with little fear of them eating others. But what do the rest of you think?

A while back, a question was proposed in this forum, asking readers if they would want to live in the world of Eden. Although its a dangerous world, you can't argue that there are some perks to being in a monstergirl filled world. So let me ask you all this with a small twist.

If you could live in the world of Eden, and have a monstergirl as your loving mate who could control their inner nature, how would that work for you? What kind of environment would you like to live in? What would your profession be? What kind of monstergirl would you want to be with? Or would you prefer to live a bachelor life with lots of promiscuous one-nighters with the locals? Share you're ideal setting for living in the world of Eden with all of us. Who knows, perhaps such a place does exist somewhere deeper in the Outerlands.

We all know Cindy, our favorite bubbly, clueless sand wraith, LOVES food. She loves it so much that it's marked as her personal fetish.

However, I have a question. When Cindy eats, can she actually taste the food and savor its flavor, or does she just get a thrill from the sensation of eating food?

Being made of enchanted sand, do sand wraiths have taste buds or experience the five tastes? Sweet, salty, sour, savory, and bitter?

This discussion is less about “Chronicles of Eden” and more about the process that goes into making it.

If you don’t mind me asking, Mr. Gordon, I’d like to ask a few questions about how you write. Since I one day hope to be an author myself, I figured it’d be good to get some advice from an author who has experience with both the process of writing, the preparations when it comes to getting the story published, and the results that come after the book reaches the reader.

Mind you, if you don’t wish to, you don’t have to answer these questions. They’re totally optional. Or, if there’s anyone else out there who knows a thing or two, feel free to comment.

1.     What is your work environment? Do you work best with people around you or do you need total silence?

2.    Did you outline the ENTIRE plot for your series BEFORE writing a single page, or are there times when you write by the seat of your pants, making changes every time a good idea presents itself?

3.    Do you ALWAYS know where your story is going or are there times when you reconsider what you want to happen? Does that intimidate you? I speak in a non-metafictional sense, as I know Aeon changed the course of the story once before.

4.   Given how tedious editing a story with SEVERAL chapters can be, do you know any ways to mix it up and keep things fresh?

5.    How did you look for potential illustrators? Do they get a percentage of the profits the books make? (sorry, I know I’m noob when it comes to the world of publishing)

6.   Do you recommend aspiring authors to start their own website like you did?

7.    How much time do you spend per day working on a story?

Let’s be honest: the artwork for “Chronicles of Eden” is absolutely amazing.

One of my favorite collections of artwork done for the series are the character sheets for Daniel’s and Daemon’s harems by artist, AngelHentai. Of the many things that make these drawings so amazing is that they also include each character’s aura symbol, represented in a circle with a varying image.

From what Mr. Gordon hinted at, Max and his girls may eventually have their own character sheets done. For today’s discussion, I want to ask what you, my fellow fans, think their aura symbols will look like. Seeing as it’s unknown whether or not Max can perform Synergy yet, we can only guess. So . . . let’s do just that! Here’s mine off the top of my head:

Lelu: A pair of sharp teeth with a glittering gleam

Grace: A pulsing vein of anger

Bermuda: A spider with a heart in the center of its abdomen

Complica: a sword running down the middle of a pair of broken butterfly wings

Lucy: A prowling cat

Silly? (still unsure about her): A vial of potion with a stream of smoke rising out of the neck

Max: …I honestly have no clue. . . . A shield perhaps?

From what we've seen so far of Max's growing harem, each girl will most definitely bring something to the table in terms of skill. Grace has her archery, Bermuda has her magic, and Silly (if she joins) has her skill and knowledge of alchemy, medicines, and potions.

But what about Lelu? Lelu is Max's best friend, his very first harem member and possibly his first real girlfriend. But so far, we haven't seen anything that she's good at.

From what Mr. Gordon stated, Lelu's role in the harem will be that of the "cavalier," a role which is also shared by Hollia in Daemon's harem. The word "cavalier" in this case can mean someone trained in arms and horsemanship, a mounted soldier, or even a lady's escort or dancing partner.

Any ideas?

Quick Question:

Out of all Daemon’s girls, who do you think Daniel has the best chance of befriending and why?

It was mentioned a while back that Max will get another kiss soon. More specifically, he’ll get a kiss from another girl who HASN’T kissed him yet.

So, which lucky girl will get to show her love for Eden’s luckiest teenager?

Currently, there are two potential candidates at Shadow’s Refuge. Those being Grace the elf and Bermuda the arachne. There could also be a possible third in Silly. . . . But for now, let’s focus on the first two.

Grace, as we know, is ill-tempered and more-or-less unfeeling for Max. That, or she’s just putting on an act to hide her pain. If we recall in S.1 - Act XI, she crawled out of her bed (either intentionally or unconsciously) and snuggled up to Max. Perhaps this moment or another argument could present an opportunity for Grace to kiss Max. Maybe, while he’s asleep, Grace could sneak up and gently kiss Max on the lips. Think of it as a reverse Sleeping Beauty. Or maybe Max could try to help Grace talk about her feelings, and, in her frustration and affection, Grace may pull Max in and roughly kiss him.

When it comes to affection, though, Bermuda seems more likely to show it than Grace. Mind you, the idea of kissing a spider isn’t the most desirable thing in the world. Heck, the 4th Harry Potter book made a riddle about a creature you would never want to kiss. Three guesses what that creature is. However, Bermuda, as we’ve seen, is a sweet little spider and perhaps her affection for Max may grow enough in S.2 -Act II that she’ll feel the desire to kiss him. As for the moment that will encourage it, I can’t be sure. Though it makes me wonder what VelRyan will think if he sees Max kissing his daughter. . . .

Before I wrap up this discussion, there are two questions I’d like to address.

Firstly, what will Lelu think when she finds out another girl kissed Max? Lelu gave Max his very first kiss and she’s the first of his harem to fall in love with him. You never forget your first love. Will she be willing to accept that she may not be the ONLY girl who loves Max? How will she feel about the idea of sharing Max with two or more girls?

Secondly, will Max ever find the courage to kiss a girl back? If so, what circumstances may encourage him to do so?

As we know, Daniel has a loving family of 13 mates who are precious to him.

In S.1 - Act IX, he adopted Snapper, and she has become his daughter who he loves and cherishes.

And with the start of S.2 - Act II, Daniel will be taking in Rolian, Sheal, and Felucia as his maids. And from what I can see, they'll most likely stay with him for a while. They may even warm up to the others and become part of the family. Perhaps not mates for Daniel, but loving members nevertheless.

This is what I'd like to ask you all: Do you think Daniel may end up having an "extended family"? Snapper has become his adopted daughter, and Rolian and Sheal are thankful towards Daniel for his kindness and chance at a new life, and Felucia . . . may yet warm up to him.

Any other members you can think of? Characters who will become part of Daniel's family?

Back a few discussions ago, Mr. Gordan made a statement claiming that neither Daniel nor Daemon will be the one who will destroy Aeon the Chronofly. This means that the task of riding Eden of the Dark Queen of Time will fall to someone else. But who do you think it will be?

Given the wide selection of characters, there are plenty of candidates, but I have a possible idea. It seems crazy, but I think there's a chance it may have some potential based on a certain fact and the poetic justice of it.

Who is this person? I think there's a chance it could be Max Harollson.

Yes, go ahead and laugh. I know he doesn't seem very likely. He's not a fighter, he doesn't know any magic, and as far as I can tell, there's nothing inherently important about him. For right now, he’s just a human with a kind, caring heart who has a habit for attracting beautiful girls and winning their affection.

Does that remind you of another certain main character? ;-)

Anyway, I wouldn't write this if I didn't have some idea as to why Max could defeat Aeon, so let me tell you.

As we know, Max (as well as Lelu) was fated to die as a result of the three copycats attacking them in S.1 - Act X. However, this was prevented when Flarah asked Aeon to assist Grace (who was also destined to die that day) in escaping Green Haven. With Grace present in Trixton Pass, she managed to save Max’s and Lelu’s lives, thus deviating them from the original timeline.

Now let's take that into account: Max as well as Lelu and Grace survived beyond their predestined time of death. Thus, they are on the path to creating a new, unexpected fate, one not seen before by Aeon or the 'Higher Ups' in the Underworld.

Let's think about this further. Max WASN'T supposed to survive. In other words, his time in the story was SUPPOSED to end with those copycats, but by surviving, he's now interacting with other characters who were never meant to know him. Specifically, he's going to win the hearts of six other monster girls who will, in turn, be further influenced because they get to know him. With each girl he befriends and who falls in love with him, Max and they will move farther and farther and farther away from the original timeline.

Each and every interaction Max has from Act X onward will be a deviation from what was intended, creating more and more uncertainty with each new event. And we all know how Aeon hates uncertainty.

Now, I know this isn't much to go on. If anything, it’ll just give Aeon a giant migraine. However, I have a feeling that Max's continued existence will influence Eden in unexpected ways, and perhaps cause or lead to an event that Aeon will find herself unable to survive. And the “poetic justice” about this possibility? Aeon will have only herself to blame. 

Aeon chose to save Grace, who went on to save Max, which allowed him to keep living, thus giving him the chance to win the hearts of so many other girls, who will help Max in his own personal journey. It all goes back to that first action: Aeon choosing to save Grace.

What if, by the end of it, Aeon created her own worst enemy? She wouldn't be the first Dark Queen who's done so. Jovian & Jacqueline underestimated Daniel Sorres simply because he’s a human. Them creating the Sisterhood prompted him to save the elves of Green Haven, which led him to going there and destroy the Gemini.

And that’s all I have for right now. Even if Max is the best man for the job, the question as to HOW he’ll stop Aeon is a question for another day. I mean, it’s not like he can “shield” himself from her power.

Whoever will bring an end to the Dark Queen of Time, I have a feeling it will be someone neither we, nor Aeon, will expect. Then again, there could be a missing factor that needs to be brought into account, so we’ll have to wait and see.

What do you all think? Any ideas?

One of the biggest reveals, as well as shocks, in Season 1 was discovering that Mika Harollson held romantic feelings towards her little brother, Max. As we know, Aeon used this knowledge to coerce Mika into setting her free, along with a well-planned out lie based on something Mika THOUGHT was true — which, of course, wasn't.

While Mika's on the road to redemption, and her feelings for Max will no doubt change as she spends more time around Daemon, Hollia, and her new comrades, there's something else that I've thought of which I want to ask all of you.

That pertaining to Mika's late sisters, Milly and Mae.

You'll have to forgive me if this sounds crazy, but do you think it's possible that Milly's and Mae's feelings for Max could've been similiar to Mika's, in that they adored Max beyond that of a sister? While I know there's not much evidence to this idea, most of which are circumstances and odd behaviors that the sisters showed, I still think it's worth talking about.

Before I begin, I just want to say that I will not include Max's sister complex here, because that theory is based on how HE may feel about his sisters. This discussion will focused mainly on Milly and Mae.

Firstly, there were the many suggestive situations that Max found himself in with his sisters (mentioned in Act X), such as seeing Mae shake her butt around to get out of a mess of clutter or Milly falling out of a tree which tore her dress off and . . . well, you get the picture. And we can only assume that there were many other moments like these.

Now, most if not all of these events were accidental, but there is such a thing as "happy accidents." And we certainly didn't hear the Harollson sisters complaining! ;-)

Then there were simple moments that stood out, such as Milly winking at Max just before she and her sisters left on what would be their final hunt (Act IX). Or Mae telling Max to take care of Lelu, and ALSO winking at him (Act IX).

Again, these could have just been sweet gestures. Given how kind the Harollson sisters are, it wouldn't be shocking to see them wink or be playful with their brother. However, there is one fact that ISN'T accidental and has yet to be explained.

And that's the inexplicable reason why the Harollson sisters, when they weren't hunting monsters, usually ALWAYS walked around their home in their underwear or COMPLETELY naked — WHILE Max was around them! They didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed knowing that they were so exposed around their brother. Additionally, we NEVER heard Mika, Milly, or Mae ever accuse Max of being a pervert or a peeping-tom. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they were perfectly comfortable around Max while being so bare.

Anyone have any opinions or ideas? I ask because I'm not sure how likely we'll learn about this idea in the series. I mean, it's not like you can question the dead, right?

So I meant to make this discussion sooner but got side tracked a little but I have a few thing to say about Doc the Doctor of Stonegate. First, lets talk about what the image shows about her and let me say I did not call that she would be a Giantbutterfly. From her title I assume she would have been a Unicorn since some of the stories revolved around them depicted them as healers. However, this is not the case and this could in fact show what Giantbutterflies could offer humans as allies. It could be that a Giantbutterfly could have talents for healing and we have gotten some hints of this when Daniel was at the Giantbutterfly grove. Then again Doc could also be an exception but we will have to wait and see. Hopefully the next book is close to completion and we can find out. But what do the rest of you think about the fact that Doc is a Giantbutterfly? What other implications does this have? What other impacts could her character have on the series going forward? Is she somehow related to Falla and Luna? Does Doc have a significant other? What other questions are there regarding Doc?

Aside from all the obvious ones they present, I would like to point this one out in particular. All harem members of the Ancients have some part of them replaced with ancient materials. That being said, what secret is Calamity hiding?

This is a discussion to observe what kind of character Lucy the Copycat, one of Max's future girlfriends, will be. First, there is here title as The Thief which could indicate that here background revolve around the acquisition of valuable things. This could hint at how Max will meet considering that Human Men are considered to be a commodity by most groups of Monsters. So its possible their first meting will be a result of Lucy trying to steal Max from the other girls for either her peoples own use or profit. Now from what the author has hinted Lucy isn't exactly "quite" which could mean that her personality is as loud and abrasive as Grace's which would get her caught or she is clumsy which will also get her caught. In either case it will make things interesting especially when Grace gets wind of her considering how she feels about Copycats. Well those are my thoughts but what do the rest of you think. What kind of character do you think Lucy will be based on what we do know about her?
