Yes, while still reading, I wondered if you'd describe Aragorn's adventures. :)

I like the chapter, especially the last part. There is not much happening - only Hakim's general description of the events, but I love the way you did it. There is some special melancholic, sad tone in it that I like.

Thank you so much for a beautiful written story! 'Ich bins' review said it all. I especially liked the part about the rumors coming up from the south, showing very clear that Dakheel was alive and 'making a difference'. Looking forward to your update and the next story.

Thoroughly great chapter! (Even though you let us wait once again for a talk or something between Aragorn and Hakim, how could you?!) You put the story strings well together.

It somehow made me feel really good, that Hakim tried to free Aragorn, but he didn't want to. I somehow expected, that he would be sold, but able to flee afterwards, however that is so much better. Now we see Hakim finding the strenght and heart to help Aragorn - not in impulse, but knowing what it might bring to him and that he is acting against his fathers wish - and we see Aragorn being a strong hero, who does all this willingly (more or less) for his aim, rather than a broken man who get forced to be a slave. Oh, I cannot even tell you how much confort this means to me (probably to Hakim as well^^). But I don't want to get obsessed with this topic, as there are so much other great things I have to praise. 

I like how you told us, what happend after they seperated. You didn't tell us to much about Hakim, yet we know what is important (for the story) and you told it well. And how you told us about Aragorn (even thogh it was probably hard, because Hakim is the narrator and he doesn't know to much) was very well solved. I can sy myself, that Aragorn did well, but you didn't force Hakim to be there and see something or do something else unrealstic. (But I would love to hear more about Aragorn's time with the slaves, I will keep an eye on your profile) Oh, and how you put in how Hakim gets the sword and Aragorn gets his stuff back was very well done too.

And there, as well as in the other chapters (but I think I forgot to mention it last time) are so much especially good sentences, said by Aragorn or Hakim. I feel that in this chaptere there are more of them than before, wise and somehow grave statements which gave a tone of...severity especially to this chapter, at least at parts. And we could see Hakim's development pretty good. At firsth he was more or less a boy, keen but ingenuous, but when Aragon leaves he understands a great lot and has somehow matured. We see it in the way he acts and talks and it has influence on the style of the story, because he is telling it, and I think it's great how you captured this. Also the difference of the way "old Hakim" is seeing and describing his surroundings and the way "young Hakim" (especially at the beginning) is seeing the world is pretty good worked out. There is no to big gap, as it is still the same person and he is making the narration now in form of recollections, but you can get a difference (or I am imagine it, which is just as fine as long as I like it ;-)

I'm looking forward to the epilogue and to more stories! (I think I could read thousands of this/your stories...)
