Lord Meren! Stumbled across this and almost gave a fangirlish "squee" aloud, because there is simply not enough (or any!) Meren fic out there. Thanks for making my day. :)

Oh, a cool way to introduce Ricky's brother. I wish you would update this, I really like how you went about establishing the various relationships.

Nnrhg. Why do you always have to leave it on such an evil cliffhanger?

I;m loving this story! I'd love to see more if you still have an interest in it. Really great writing!

I'm glad to see you're continuing this. I love the idea of inserting a reborn Lord Meren into the world of the Mummy. Can't wait to see where you're going to take this. And incidentally, thanks very much for creating the oasis for Ardeth's men. The complete lack of any obvious sources of water in the desert in the movies always bugged me.

This is pretty interesting. It's well-done; you've got the characters and the tension right.

I am blown away! This is just one wonderful story! You rock! So much to love. All of it. Thank you! I can't wait for more!

Who is Jon in the past? I can't figure it out. Lovely chapter. Excitement... great dialogue. The works. You've got the characters down pat. Especially Jon and Alex. Again ... briliant.

How totally cool! Jonathan is having visions! I'm so happy! Your writing is brilliant! I love this story. Thank you.

I think, perhaps, you could have strengthened the conversation between Evie and Mark by having it either from Alex's POV and have him translate it to himself, or just have Jon translate it to himself. It's very difficult as a reader to not know what is going on and have to wait until the end of the chapter to read the translation. Or at least offer some more context clues as to the conversation.

Aside from that, it was a very good chapter. I enjoyed it a lot. Everyone was totally in character! I like that you have Ardeth having a family, and that Alex is so curious, but taken aback by his father punching Mark.

I can't wait to see where you're going with Mark--he is SO Rick's older brother, isn't he?! I can't wait for that one to come out into the open.

Glad to see an update here. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story plays out. Keep up the great work!

Oh, my gosh, this is fabulous. You nail the characters _perfectly_, and the back and forth between memories and the present is well done.

More please! :o)

Back in town after four days and I am doing the happy dance!! This is intriguing! And I think I have to see the Mummy Returns, just to refresh my memory... *le sigh*

Hello, dear! Wasn't going to read this story, because I haven't read Count Meren, but I gave in, and I'm glad I did, because it's thoroughly enjoyable so far.

Can't really expound right now on it, I will next chapter though, I promise! Am in lab right now, so no chance for a good analysis ;-). Someone has to keep an eye on the boys and make sure they don't light something on fire or burn themselves with boiling water, after all.

And they're all out in the desert, nobody knows who anybody else is, and the bad guys' plot is still going. This is cool. :)

i like... much better than the first chapter... can't wait to read more
