Absolutely, incredibly fantastic. I wish I could offer better praise, but this left me, honestly, speechless. It's like a fairy tale, in many ways.

A really interesting idea of what started the events of Spirited Away. I loved it, it was very original and an interesting side fo Haku and Zeniba as well. Excellent job!

This is beautiful. I don't think I've ever read a spirited away fic set before the movie before. I loved Kohaku and his pride. Most fans of the movie probably can't see him ever acting like this, but it's the realism that astounds me. He is a god after all, and I love how you've shown that. Wonderful writing. ^^

Great job! This is VERY well-written, almost like a fable, and it teaches a very valuable lesson. It's going on my faves, for sure! :)

Wow. This is really well-done. I can even feel the same atmosphere the movie has in here. It's quite fascinating to see how they interact here, before the actual "Spirited Away" timeline. Love this.

Excellent! It follows the conventions of the fairy tale and fits canon.

Neat little prequel. Not a lot I can say because this fic was so perfect and fit so very well.

That was good. REALLY good.
(And oh so original.) I loved it!

really good i really liked reading it =D

Beautifully done. Just perfect. The only complaint I have ... is why haven't I discovered fanfic written by you sooner than this?

Thank you for this lovely gem, it was like finding a well of sweet water in the desert.

This is one of the best SPIRITED AWAY stories I have read. The language was good and the story focused and well-written. THe plot made A LOT of sense to the one that Hayao Miyazaki wrote and directed.

I enjoyed reading it a lot. The characters were spot on.

Well done!

I have never seen such a smart and wise story. I love it!

It´s the same here.

I love it.

What a great story! This is a nice prequel and truly unique. You captured his pride well and his nature as a dragon/river spirit. Your story was very well written, in character, and descriptive. Looking forward to future works from you.
