Oooh! Update! I was beginning to think you'd abandoned this...but there's more, yay. ^^ I think I'm falling in love with Rekia...I know it's wrong...but he's just so cuuute! Ok...-ahem-...I know he probably wasn't meant to be that way...but he's just so noble, and brave, and set in his ways...ready protect his queen and his people and set everything right.......even though he doesn't really have a clue what he's doing/getting himself into. xD Poor Rekia. Please don't let him get hurt too bad...and maybe in the end, he and Antros can end up fighting side by side...the two greatest men in the kingdom coming together to defeat the great evil that is Idroa...uber much love. =^.^=
And I don't like Idroa either. It always seems that no matter what happens...it's always 'according to plan'...grrrrr...makes me want to poke him...violently... :ninja: Though I somehow get the feeling Antros would be a lot better at taking care of him then I would...speaking of which, I wonder what he's doing through all this. After that whole dealing with the elven girl...is he still in the forest? Will Ayisa find him? And then what if Rekia finds them together? Will he believe them when they say that hadn't been how things had happened? Maybe he'll think Ayisa had been put under a spell...or threatened to lie...or-...ok, ok...that might not even happen at all...but it's my random plot idea/suspicion mumbling at work here. o_O
ANYway...good chapter. It made me very happy to see another one, and the chapter itself made me all bubbly too...so I'll be looking out for the next one! ^^

Oh yeah! I keep thinking I've reviewed this...but then I remember I haven't! Sorry 'bout that...and I missed one already so I'm like...o_O ^^ Just know, that even when I get all uber lazy about my reviewing...I still read it. *nodnod* So anyways...on to the review.
Nice to see more of Antros's brother. Dang, he's powerful though...and evil. Still...if anyone that actually knew Antros tried to fight his fake...wouldn't they notice? I wonder how similar they actually look. Rekia's reactions to not being able to capture/take him down are amusing...and I suppose I should feel slightly bad for the guy at times...but I still like him. Anyway. I pity Antros. The whole world's going against him...he's got an evil, invincible/almost invicible brother out there framing him...and now...he's threatening his true love! Now, that's just a low blow...even for him. o_O But then of course...this is a happy story...the kind that doesn't kill off the important heros and pretty girls, right? Right?? :gonk: I suppose I dont' know you all that well yet...but I hope Ayisa will be alright. I just can't imagine Antros trying to go on without her. I know he was a wander before but...still. They were made for each other. She's changed him and now...he must rescue her! Whahaha! *cough* Anyway...sorry...slash, het, or lesbians, I'm still a fan of honest romance to the end. Terrible sap here. o_O ^^
Good luck with the story, great job so far. Looking forward to more!

Lol. Maybe you're right. Perhaps I'm not checking often enough. But, whatever the case may be, I didn't miss it this time! Enjoyed the chapter. Antros's brother seems very mysterious indeed, popping up out of nowhere then disappearing again in a flash? Almost like a ghost...but then, ghosts can't kill people, can they? I'm very curious to see first, what specific 'giant crime' made his own brother so bent on his misery and destruction (though I have brothers myself so, you know, I suppose it's possible they might have already hated each other...), and second, how his brother is menuvering around so quickly! Maybe he has some form of magic or something... (or perhaps he's just a very, very efficient traveler...xD).
Glad to see Ayisa defending him with fiery persistence, and it's also good to know that the queen hasn't given up on him either. As for Rekia, I think I actually like the man in a way...I do hope he doesn't turn out to be evil or something. It seems he's just an honest, good fighter, dedicated to his country. It seems only natural that he might distrust a sudden stranger, invading in on his lands, coming up out of no where.
Still, in the end, when one of the guards was doubtful about being able to catch him? That whole last section made me grin from ear to ear. I like Antros, and the way you portray him in the other characters minds is as much of a description of his character as any. Quite cool.
Keep it up!

Dang, you update fast! I just came on to browse the sight, checking my reviews and that junk, and here your story is with two new chapters! (And quite engaging ones at that.) Poor Antros, I want to hate Rekia so bad...but I have a feeling that he\'s not to blame at all, just someone who happens to dislike our misjudged, blue-haired hero for one reason or another. When it comes down to it, the situation sure did look suspicious.
But how is Ayisa going to handle this in the morning? Her beloved blamed for murder and then gone the same night? If he looked guilty before, running away can only make it look worse, but I suppose, back in days like that there were no such things as fingerprint testing or the like. Obviously there\'s no way to clear his name until he can find the culprit! (His brother, apparently. o_O) I expected some sort of relative of his, with the rare blue hair and all...but his brother? Set him up for all this? It really makes me wonder about the last comment in chapter four... What could Antros possibly have done in the past that he has to pay up for? I suppose I\'m ready to admit that that might be something I\'m already supposed to know if I read Princess and the Wanderer, but, since I haven\'t, I\'m certainly left curious.
I\'ll try to catch you when you update next time and review! Sorry I missed one. ^^; But good job anyway, keep up the good work!

Wow, well...I haven\'t read any of your other works, though I\'ve seen you numerous times before on here. It always seemed that you were already so far ahead into your stories, that I never really got a chance to catch up. But I did notice that Falcon took quite a liking to some of your works, and now that I see you starting this new story, I figured I\'d try and catch it right from the beginning, and I\'m quite glad I did. Falcon is a terrific author, and I know that anything she spent so much time giving beautiful reviews to couldn\'t be all bad. And your work is certainly far from that.
Your style is short and simple, your chapters not as long and drawn out as most authors, but you get your point across and the directness is nice for a change. You have good, honest characters that make me want to know more about them and I hope that, even though this is a sequel...that it\'ll all make just as much sense in the end.
I especially loved your prologue, telling a whole love story there in just a few paragraphs, but equally catching both sides of the story in vivid detail. I find it rare to see both the male and female side portrayed equally, and even have quite a lot of trouble doing it myself sometimes (well, I pretty much, by default, write M/M stories...but there\'s usually a male and female side if you will so you get the idea). But anyway, most of the time, stories will focus on one or the other, and reading the prologue the way you put it, hearing it from both sides both so similar and so different...was lovely.
And now, in later chapters we have plot, and sex! How perfectly enjoyable. Poor Antros, barely two chapters into the story and he’s already framed…though, seeing what little I have of your writing so far, I somehow get the idea that he’ll make it out, at least in the end, quite alright. And worst comes to worst, he still has the love of his life, no? I find it surprising you have no reviews so far but…ah well. Know that your story is certainly a decent piece of work so far, and if you keep updating, I might even take the time to keep reading it. (Which really is meant in a good way considering I typically read nothing but slash.) Good job! ^^
