Hi, I'm Italian and I really like this story!
I hope you'll continue it, because I'm really curious to know how it will end.

It's been a very long time since I read a Xena fanfic and I am glad I found yours. This is very interesting and dialogue formulation is beautiful. I also love how you write Gabrielle, she's so much in character I think.

Great story so far. Good flow and story line. Can't wait to see what happens next. :)

Nice one. i´m no fan of gabrielle, but is really good.

I like this. It's a different angle on Gabrielle and what fulfills her life, other than just following around Xena all the time. Akodi seems to feel that need, that Gabrielle so desperately wants from Xena. Xena can't give what she doesn't know how. Akodi is intelligent enough to know Gabrielle is not as happy as she seems. Xena selfishly keeps Gabrielle close, not allowing anyone to interfere with their supposed relationship. But, this throws a log on the fire, to speak. Gabrielle does everything in her unconsciouos power to please Xena, but her own needs are put aside to accomodate Xena's emotional content. I think down the road, Gabrielle has to be honest with herself and realize she needs more than just fighting for a cause or fighting beside Xena. I think Akodi is smart enough to realize what Xena can't see. :D

oh i foresee a little crush and much jealousy in the future chapters
