I found it interesting and well written. Your vocab is awesome, although I already knew that to some extent. I hadn't seen this until I was browsing around blogs yesterday. It's good thing there isn't more because I need to go to work. XD
I found it neat that you referred to years as summers, I don't know if that had to do with Guild Wars or whatever or if that was you. Although the thing about hiding pieces of his soul in various places sounded quite Voldemort and horcruxes to me.
If you keep writing I'll keep reading. ^-^
