i liked this and i thiink ur really good so im gonna look forward too the next part.

Really good start! Love the short angst in this one. More please!

You painted an entire scenery with your words. It was really great to read that part. Yours is probably one of the better story available!
I only had a small, tiny issue. I know you explained the role reversal thing and Elika is now supposed to be the weak, helpless one but I couldn't help but feel as though you portrayed her too weak and too vulnerable. She no longer had spark and sass the qualities that made her such a great character.

Other than this, your story is superb!

Great start!can't wait 4 the rest.)

MUHAHAHA! I HAVE FOUND IT! *cough* sorry, I've become a bit hysterical waiting and while reading this. Another Vague ending, no? There still is that little magic in that story... Is it a soul? I dunno, but you just seem to be able to craft them into stories so easily. You are quite the author, maybe, one day, you'll be able to make some money off of your creativeness. But until then, I'll be a faithful reviewer. I get the feeling that 'man' was a chubby dude, I just get it, so you really can't blame me... can you? Plus he had three donkeys, he must be a really fat man... *narrows eyes* Sorry, once again, I've become hysterical when I was reading such an awe striking story, Suspense was added and a small fight, but it ended quickly... But it still added something interesting for a change, no?

Suggestions
Elika and the Prince stumbles into town

They meet 'fatty(couldn't help me self...) man who goes off telling everyone that Elika is a witch

Town starts to chase the two

The two escapes meeting someone or they just escape (with or without Farah
Ugh... Whenever I make suggestions, they come from the top of my head, so it's your choice if you take 'em or not, and I recommend you don't. Once again, I praise you for the story, and I salute you as a full fledge Author of pure amazement! Ironic when it is, when I just so happen to start ranting on about hypocrites and deserts and there just so happen to be a desert scene NOW that talks about the days and nights. But it makes sense too, after all, they ARE practically surrounded by a desert... Babbling... again... I just can't stop talking when I read such a good story! And your's just has to be one of the best!

P.S. try adding some humor, just not too much, Me likes his amusing smart remarks. But whatever fits you is just you, suggestions just might pull you off track, so forgive me and I'll back off.
