Awesome - I absolutely love the character interaction. It's priceless.

And that ballad song thing was awesome too.

I'm just a little exhausted as I write this, so I'll try to keep it brief and coherant...brief and coherant? Who am I kidding?
Alright, first of all, I would like to draw attentin to your character developement. What I've seen of the protagonists so far is tantalizing. Although sometimes a little overt, the midnight mumblings, weary rants and campfire discussions all serve to build two very intreaguing pasts. It would be a tragedy if they didn't develope as much in the later chapters.
My second point centers around your use of supporting characters. Because so much of the story is immersed in the past of your heros, their memories play an essential role in the telling. Of these memories, the readers are offered only snapshots. Elke, for example, is only known to be the controlling, older sister figure. Stylistically, this is fine. In fact, it lends to my first comment (ie: the tantalizing.) You might want to experiment with including some longer memories, though, just to describe the characters from Kairyl's past.
Okay, and that's as far as I'm going to get before falling asleep. Tell you what, though. If you happen to write another chapter or two, I won't hesitate to review it.

Heh heh! This is great! *laughing at compute desk* Yeah, I agree it's very Tolkien-ish as well, keep up the good work. *hands you cookie*

I pushed the button! I pushed it! . I happen to like their endless banter... wonder what'll happen in the town up ahead?

I love it. The plot is wonderful and the story has kept its humor. YOu are SUCH a great writer.

Comment: Ilkea is slightly on the Sue side. This is not a bad thing as she is a well written Sue and not a pain-du-arse as many are. It really doesn't effect the story too much, so no big.

I leave you to striaghten out my grammar, Mouse-love.

That song was great! It was like.. all Tolkienish and stuff.. yeah.. This just keeps getting better!

That is such a good story! I really like it. Keep writing so I can continue reading!

I think this is a really cool story, and I can't wait till you post your next chapter. In the beginging of the 4th chapter though, they just kind of appeared at the sea, that was kind of quick. I think you should have a little bit more detail in between things like that.

I'd really like to find out more about their pasts, but that's just me!

Love the story, update soon!

I love this... please keep posting, as it's a fantasy story that's not at all bitter or sad (at least not yet, and i'm hoping it won't get TOO seroius...) which is refreshing for me. At least to find something of quality like that...

A bit more serious, I noticed in this chapter, but there was still some good humor, especially the way Kairyl started talking after getting punched in the nose. The song was a touch bit hard to follow, but then again, it could just be me.

This.. has got to be one of the funniest fantasy stories I have ever read. And I will finish it later, when I am more awake.

A work of astounding genius, AS USUAL, my Mouse. I love your characters, your style, your plot, your everything. Bravo and BRILLIANT!

Oh, man this stuff is funny! This is just too funny, the way your characters embarrass each other and everything is just so damn funny, this is really really great stuff.

Wow, you and your friend have a great sense of humor, this is a real funny story, and its interesting too.
