In S.2 - Act II, it was stated by Sheal that salamander women require water or mudholes to cool down their thighs in order to mate with men. Plus, this only works for their vaginas and not their butts or mouths.

However, Daniel believes there may be alternatives means for them to mate safely.

And I believe he is right. In fact, I think I know of one possible solution.

Perhaps Sheal could take a potion that could momentarily lower her body's external temperature? I'd like to think of it as a frost-blood potion. What it does is lower her temperature to something that would resemble a human's — not even to kill her or cause serious damage, but just cool her off enough to make her skin safe to touch and for her to enjoy a nice love session. Just one sip and she'll go from a fire lizard to a lizard who is ON fire (metaphorically speaking)!

Now, of course, I know it probably isn't that simple. Such a potion may not exist, and even if it does it may not be safe for Sheal or her race to consume. If their hearts are liquid balls of plasma, a potion that cools their body temperature could be possibly be fatal. Besides, aren't reptiles naturally cold-blooded anyway?

Not to mention, there's the question as to HOW they'll be able to produce or pay for the potions. Plus, there are the ingredients to gather. . . .

Still, there must be other ways that can help Sheal and her kind. Knowing Daniel, he'll do all he can to help them out, especially considering he and Sheal may develop feelings for each other.

If Daniel were to make one friend from Daemon's harem, who do you think it would be and why?

I don't know about you, but I think Sasha's looking mighty fine in this one ;)

While there are a lot of things that make Chronicles of Eden such a good series the one thing that stands out the most is how it utilizes the Monster Girl troupe. This character type as the name implies involves the individual being a female of a species other than human. In each case the terminology involves referring these races as Monsters, Non-humans, Demi-humans, Extra-species, Liminals. For this discussion I personally will use the term Demi-human, although I am aware that the author uses the term monster. The Monster Girl Troupe is usually focused on the Main Characters interaction with monster girls as the name implies but What I find important is the reason or scenario that the MC has for having such interactions. With that in mind I will be going over each possible scenario that would involve using the Monster Girl troupe.

Scenario 1. The One Gendered Race: I thought I would start with this one since it is connected with the Chronicles of Eden Series. Here the reason for using the monster girl troupe is due to the fact that these Demi-human races only produce females and must interact with human males in order to continue their race.

Scenario 2. Mutually One Gendered: Similar to the scenario above with the added fact that all Humans are Male while all Demi-humans are female.

Scenario 3. Favored Gender: In this scenario both Humans and Demi-Humans have the capability to have children that are either male or female. However, the species acts as a factor as to what gender the child is most likely to be. For example, if the child is human they are more likely to be born male while a Demi-human races is likely to give birth to a female. Of course their is no reason that such a scenario can't be done in reverse with humans more likely to be bore female and Demi-humans more likely male but for the sake of the monster girl troupe the original explanation will stand. In this case there are no half-breed or mixed blood due to this unique feature. So if a human and elf had children together it is very likely that the son will be born as a human while the daughter will be very likely to be born as an elf.

Scenario 4. As part of the Harem Troupe: This scenario is more straight forward as whether one is a Human or a Demi-Human they are equally likely to be either male or female, with a rare few exceptions like a Dryad. In this case the reason for using the monster girl troupe is due to the Main Character having multiple love interest that are of a race other than human.

And those are my scenarios that serve as a reason for the Monster girl troupe. Out of them witch one would you prefer the most or what other scenarios could their be to justify using the monster girl troupe in a story.

To defeat a tyrant, a knight gifted with the magic of Synergy will need all the boosts he can get in order to prevail. Not only will sheer power be needed to overcome such a challenge, but the unique gifts offered by those bestowing not only their hearts to him but also their unique traits, those will most certainly come in handy. Some have already been "unlocked" if you will, others remain waiting, and more still have yet to be touched by this noble soul's grace. Over the course of Season II many new abilities await such a... passionate knight, and some are sure to give the edge in combat as well as day to day life with a growing harem of insanely hot women.

To that, what powers await him you ask? And who will bestow these gifts to him once their hearts are won? Well, here are a few examples to wet your appetite of imagination for what they can and will be used for. More to come in the future.

• Flight (bearer has been met)

• Stoneskin (bearer has not been met)

• Poison Resistance (bearer has not been met)

• Magical Bombardment (bearer has not been met)

• Decoy (bearer has been met)

Daniel Sorres is a most spectacular and most unusual protagonist.

He's kind-hearted, his wisdom is beyond his own race, and his bravery has grown to the point where he's an unofficial knight. He's even become a legend of sort after slaying the immortal Dark Queen of Anarchy and the leading the elves to salvation.

And to think, he's only human.

Or is he?

As we found out in S.1-Act XII, Daniel pulled Ragnarok out of the ether and claimed her as her new handler. During the transition, Ragnarok recognized the diamond insignia that represents the Ancients appear on Daniel's hand. She even said that he's an "actual descendant" of the Ancients.

That's right. Daniel's blood is tied with the likes of Lazarus, Calamity, and the rest who bear that accursed diamond. In other words, one or both of Daniel's parents had Ancient blood.

This could explain his unique powers like Synergy. No ordinary human could be capable of such abilities. What's more, we still don't know anything about Daniel's past. In fact, his origins are so mysterious, even Daniel doesn't know what they are!

What do you think having Ancient blood will mean for Daniel? If he has their blood, does Lazarus and the others know?

Ragnarok, the Tyrant's sword, is perhaps the most powerful weapon in all of Eden. It's so dangerous, not even the Dark Queens of Eden are protected should its blade pierce their front.

But what about Ragnarok makes it so powerful? And how will Daniel be able to use it in the future?

From what Aeon told us, the sword gets its reputation from how it can destroy monster energy. Monster energy is, quite literally, the essence of any non-human's lifeforce and power. The Gemini's immortality was tied in with their monster energy. When Daniel attacked them with Ragnarok, the sword severed their tie with their monster energy. Without it, Jovian & Jacqueline's bodies couldn't regenerate and their pain suppression stopped working. Is that correct?

If so, does that mean Aeon's monster energy is tied in with her time control? If, hypothetically speaking, Ragnarok were to cut into her, would she be able to reverse time and heal or would her monster energy be damaged to the point where not even her god-like powers could save her?

What's more, when Ragnarok killed the Gemini, did she get a taste of the Dark Queen's monster energy when she cut into them?

Can Daniel use Ragnarok like a vacuum and become, in a sense, an energy vampire?

I heard of a palindrome that, I think, sums up Darker Ones in "Chronicles of Eden" very well:

"Evil did I dwell. Lewd I did live."

They may be bad, but damn they look good :)

As stated before in numerous posts and teasers, the last part of Season II will involve all four harems coming together during the explosive season finale, and standing together against overwhelming odds. They're not all friends or close allies as of now, and some are clearly going to be enemies while others may grow much closer in time. Yet this is something I'm both looking forward to bringing to life as well as seeing readers' reactions to how their grand stand unfolds.

That said, what do you all think of the idea of the four harems standing together against a common foe or challenge? Although it won't last long, we will see them fighting alongside each other, providing many different dynamics and combinations of the diverse monster maidens in combat, as well as amazing spectacles of how they team up with one another to fight against the growing horde of enemies marching towards them.

So what are you looking forward to seeing more? Which girls are you interested in most seeing fighting together? How do you imagine the team-up to start, and inevitably end? How will they handle working together, whether they want to or not? Things will certainly get hot and intense, and very dangerous to say the least. Should make for some amazing action ;)

Picking up from where I left off, I last discussed the challenges Daniel will face with the individual races belonging to those from Daemon's harem. Last time, I went over reptile girls, orcs, and lycan(s). Sorry, I still don't know the plural.

Today, I wish to continue with three more races.

Let's talk Tabitha's race, the Nekos. These feline creatures are notoriously known for being crafty, sly, and generally untrustworthy. However, that's a bit prejudiced. Just as not all arachne are wicked, so too must there be honest, trustworthy nekos. Tabitha herself, though very greedy, is not cruel. She doesn't torture or torment people like Dark Ones. She views herself as an "adventurer", and though her title in Daemon's harem is that of "assassin," I've yet to see her assassinate anyone (as far as my knowledge goes).

Nevertheless, Daniel will need to be careful. Thankfully, his encounters with Falla, giant butterflies, and the Gemini have taught him to be wary about who he trusts. He should be able to have a reasoned talk with the nekos at the very least. Whether or not he's successful, well, that's another question. Plus, they may very well ask for some . . . incentive in exchange for their support.

Next up, Scay's race: Nagas. These snake women are known for a strong constricting grip, powerful tails, and being amazingly fast. Unfortunately, Scay has been the only naga we've gotten to know in the series and, given her mental condition, I'm not sure what nagas are usually like OR how they live.

Mind you, this isn't an affront on Scay's character. Though insane, she's very kind and only wants to belong and be liked. Take away her condition, and she's a prime example of a good naga, especially given that she's one of Mika's closest friends.

As for Daniel, I don't see the nagas to be any more difficult or any less a challenge for him. They'll be another race whose differences and personalities he'll have to confront. Then again, as I said, we don't know much about nagas or how they live. One thing is for sure, though: they don't specilize in shoes or pants!

And now we come to Hollia's race: Centaurs. While the centaurs of Ruhelia have more-or-less shown strong support and admiration for Daniel after he avenged their empress and people, there's still the 'challenge' they've presented him at the end of S.2-Act II. With Kroanette as the new empress, the centaurs will likely soon join the Alliance.

Plus, being Kroanette's mate, it technically means that Hollia is Daniel's sister-in-law. I can honestly see them getting along and liking each other.

However, there is one possible problem. . . .

As I've stated before in the past, the Sisterhood was formed out of Jovian's & Jacqueline's humiliation and anger at failing to kill Daniel. They formed their evil faction purely to destroy his dream of peace. And, if this fact were ever leaked, Hollia and the centaurs may look at Daniel in a negative light. Some may even outright blame him for everything that's happened.

Otherwise, I don't think the centaurs would have any issues with Daniel's dream of peace, especially seeing as how much he loves Kroanette. Once the centaurs clean up their act, and humans look past their appearance, they'll see the wonderful, beautiful women they are. Plus, Max and Lelu are prime examples of a human and centaur having feelings for each other, so their relationship could be evidence too.

And that'll wrap things up for the today. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section and I'll see you all again in Part III.

Daniel’s quest to bring peace between humans and monsters is a tall enough order. His interactions between Victoria’s ant girls, Charlotte’s witches, Saffron’s red ant girls, and the elves of Green Haven each had their obstacles and issues to address, not to mention the total skepticism Daniel has had to deal with all his life. He’s had his small victories, but mostly defeats or leaders too uncertain to make a commitment.

And when the time comes that Daniel meets with Daemon and his harem, it wouldn’t be surprising if he discusses his ideas with them.

For this discussion, I’d like to go over each race in Daemon’s harem and talk about the likelihood of them joining Daniel in the future.

First, reptile girls. Reptile girls would be an ideal choice for Daniel to recruit for his cause. They are known for being excellent fighters and, more importantly, are extremely loyal and have a sense of honor. However, this strength, loyalty, and honor come with a price, as they are very prideful. They only accept men who best them in battle, and in doing so, only go for men who have above-average physical strength and stamina. Daniel will have to convince the reptile girls to seek men for MORE than just strength. For one thing, having a physically strong male won’t always guarantee physically strong offspring. Additionally, strength and power is only ONE characteristic to a person. And while it helps with survival, strength may not always be enough.

By far, Daniel’s greatest obstacle will be their pride. And if Daniel’s not careful, he may end up injuring their pride and put his cause — and life — at risk. Though I can't lie, that would make for some intense reading.

Sasha is a prime example of a good reptile girl, both in terms of character and Daniel’s cause. She’s not only strong and powerful, but she possesses kindness, a strong spirit, and a good affinity for children. She was once starving and considered a weak child, but when Daemon came and saved her, she found a new life and got a chance to prove her strength and worth. That’s what the rest of the poor children in the wastelands deserve, as well as the men who become their mates: a chance.

Next, orcs. Orcs, from what I can only surmise based off the examples I’ve seen, are similar to reptile girls in that they pride themselves on strength. However, they are much cruder and live more for pleasure than loyalty. They are also notoriously smelly and rather rude. Plus, they are cruel to those they see as weak, like poor Rulo when her sisters abandoned her just because she was considered the runt.

Again, Rulo’s a good example of a seemingly “weak” person who rose above strife and came out better. She proved her sisters wrong and is more than happy to boast about it

.

Daniel may have to get a bit more physical with the orcs as that’s how they probably go about solving issues. But, even then I’m not sure how he can convince them to see reason, especially as they don’t normally live in communities but rather in herds. Plus, given their mindset, they may prefer the simpler route rather than go to the trouble of getting to know a man just to get pregnant. Then again, like orcs, Daniel himself IS stubborn in getting his point across. He didn’t hold back when he lectured the elves of Green Haven; perhaps another round of blunt rhetoric will be in order.

And, along with manners and open-mindedness, they may also want to invest in a bar of soap. In fact, make that a million.

Third, lycan. Like orcs, lycan live in packs rather than communities, thus it would be hard for Daniel to convey his message, let alone convince an entire race. There may be the occasional lone wolf who may want to live in the city, but those cases are rare. What’s more, lycan live primarily as hunters, feeding off other races they come by. This could make people cautious or even hostile to lycans given that they live like . . . well, wolves. In fact, if other races join up with humanity, it could make life more difficult for lycan as it would be harder for them to catch prey if they’re accompanies by strong fighters. That, or they would have to rely more on feral monsters and common game like deer.

Of the races I’ve discussed, I can actually see Forrus having a reasonable conversation with Daniel. Unlike Sasha who follows and listens to ONLY Daemon, and Rulo who is too impatient and blunt to care, Forrus has a sense of patience. She speaks plainly and thinks sensibly. Given that Daniel slayed the Gemini and thus avenged her pack, I can at least see Forrus giving him the benefit of the doubt. But nevertheless, I’m not sure how Daniel can convince other lycan to support his cause. Given how large wolf packs can be, they may find additional allies unnecessary. They COULD help with hunting, sure, but anything else? Could one man have a harem of lycan? Surely lycan can think of a life beyond the wilderness. They can’t ALL be a pack of wolves. Some must dream of life in a village or city.

In fact, they could actually make a good living by providing the people with fresh game.

That’ll wrap up this discussion for today. I’ll be back next time to discuss other members in Part II.

I can't believe I haven't realized this sooner. We may not have thought much of it at first, but Daniel has (perhaps) the most powerful sword in the entire world bound to his soul. As such, how much danger do you think Daniel is now in because of this fact?

As Aeon pointed out, Seraph is going to be PISSED when she learns that her sword was stolen. He's already had one Dark Queen after his blood; now he'll have the Tyrant to contend with.

Not to mention the pixies are now tasked with tracking down whoever has Ragnarok and retrieve it. And given how powerful pixies are. . . .

Then, as saberTOOTH!69 pointed out, there's Daemon Warrick. What if he recognizes the blade and tries to kill the owner, believing it to be too dangerous for anyone to hold? It did, after all, once belong to a Dark Queen. Heck, Daemon's going to hunt Daniel down once he learns he has a piece of the Reaper's key. Then he'll probably go after his life if he ever learns of Daniel's friendship with Twilight.

And, of course, there's Ragnarok herself. She's already keeping secrets about Twilight's true nature hushed up — her small revenge on Daniel's refusal to feed her. However, I doubt she'll do anything that potentially risks Daniel's life, especially with her attached to his soul and their fates tied.

We know Daniel will have to learn to use the sword properly, both to fend off his enemies and to keep his family safe, but how much more will he have to worry about simply by having the sword? Your thoughts?

I know I've posted similar discussions in the past, but given the new characters added as well as constantly changing events in the story, I feel it's worth repeating.

Who do you think will form friendships between Daniel's, Daemon's, and Max's harems?

Whose and what interactions are you looking forward to the most? Who do you think will form deep bonds or rivalries?

Forgive me if this is a simple question with an obvious answer, but do you think Daemon and his followers will learn of the Gemini's defeat soon?

As of the start of Season 2, they still believe Jovian & Jacqueline to be alive and on the move, unaware that they set up their camp on the ruined forest that marks the Gemini's grave.

And when they do find out, along with WHO dealt the killing blow, what will their reaction be? Surprised? Overjoyed? Or will they be confused? After all, the Dark Queen of Anarchy was known for their immortality.

Or do you think Daemon and company will go a few more books before they realize Eden is now one Dark Queen short?

And they have some new friends with them too.

You know, maybe a Season I tag would be nice for the first twelve books, to make it more clear for new readers where the story begins. And you know, maybe some sexy new artwork would be good too for the covers. What do you all think?
