[Silent One]

The end is near (only one chapter left).  Fighting, blood, death and a creature from myth and legend (and another powerful artifact).  It's all here http://thelastoutlaw.deviantart.com/art/The-Necklace-Chapter-40-71263671

If you need to review check out the old chapters on my Deviant Art page here http://thelastoutlaw.deviantart.com/ in the gallery.

Enjoy.

Ah, we've entered that time which is called End Game . . .  😉  ;D  8)

It took me a couple chapters to get into "The Necklace," I must admit, but you've really fashioned an exciting serial out of this, Silent One!  Now I'm just sad it's ending.

I sure hope Kate gets out OK, since I was so excited to see her grow a few chapters ago, albeit only a little.  In my mind, I imagine them verbally reveling in their permanent changes after their whole ordeal is over.

Giant woman vs. Minotaur= awesome

And I got the Sam and Max reference.  If you needed reference material, all you had to do was ask.  🙂  I was just in Greece recently.

Ok!  Now the classic's almost done!  Then I'll just have to fire up the ol' Microsoft word and make sure I SAVE it this time, to revisit whenever I desire a good tale!

Bless you for the Christmas present of reposting, Silent One!

Well this is it, the final chapter of the Necklace and the original authors afterward http://thelastoutlaw.deviantart.com/art/The-Necklace-Chapter-41-A-A-71335001

Nine years to the day after I first started writing the story it's once again archived in completion on the great interwebs where it first came into being.  8)

Thank you everyone who stuck with all 41 chapters and especially to those who took the time to comment either here or on my Deviant Art page.

All the chapters can be found in the gallery of my Deviant Art page here http://thelastoutlaw.deviantart.com and to make it easier on you all I set up a folder with every one of the chapters in it for quick access.  Enjoy  ;D

Fritzcat, it's always cool to meet another Sam and Max fan 🙂  That line always went through my head when I reread that chapter because I did minimal research on Greece, I was in too much of  a hurry to keep writing.  And you'll likely get a chance to see Kate do some more growing in the sequel.  And yes, the Minotaur battle was always one of my favorite parts  ;D

Kate, I'm happy that you're enjoying the repost so much.  Through your early encouragement when it was first being written you helped assure that the story even reached completion (as did AlexG, Mr. G and the others who hung out on ZZZs old board.)  Thank you for you enthusiasm and support.

THAT'S where I'd seen this before, on ZZZs board which, incidentally, was my first exposure to the ficton of FMG.  Thanks again for re-posting this amazing story!!!

Excellent tome.

[Silent One]

Ratlaf, you're welcome for the repost, I'm glad you enjoyed it  🙂

Masschine I appreciate the compliment.  Thank you.

AlexG reminded me of something I had pretty much forgotten about, I may return to the ancient archives of my long departed website and come up with an additional (Necklace related) tidbit for the group this weekend.  We'll have to see.

[Silent One]

As promised, here's a Necklace related tidbit I managed to dig up from the days of old.  http://thelastoutlaw.deviantart.com/art/The-Necklace-Julie-pic-1-71738779

If you want to reread the Necklace you can find it here http://thelastoutlaw.deviantart.com on my Deviant Art page in the gallery 😉

Thanks for sharing your tale with us, Silent One.  It was a fun read.

And are you sure we can't tempt you back for the briefest of epilogues?  😉  We're all curious what happened with Julie's parents, and how they'll greet their now-ginormous daughter.
