good start

"... I held out the shell which I carried in my waistcoat pocket... " I liked it when he threw the shell back into the ocean. " "After meeting Trowa, one of your ancestors, you have been awakened. But you lack direction. You need an elder to guide you."
Precisely.

"You are awakened and you must train yourself now. ... I will teach you if you wish." I think that Wufei would make a excellent teacher. Sometimes things turn out the way they do for a reason. ... "have Duo and Heero found the peace that Wufei seems to have found? " Wufei is a lot more grounded. He has his issues like everyone, but he has his strengths too.

good story but a bit too much telling and not enough showing. leave some details to your reader's imagination. but wonderful ideas and beautifully wrought. thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love this story! You're an amazing author.

Have you read Yann Martel's Life of Pi? That's a really excellent piece of wordcraft that , for me, put Canada on the map. Somehow the first chapter remind me of that book. Shipwrecked, drifting on the vast sea with an animal (Pi was drifting with a Bengal tiger though) and making use of first person POV.

I really loved your story and thought it was very well written. I don't understand why so many were having trouble with the first chapter. I look forward to reading the sequel. Thanks!

Yay more from you. Though I am sorry i havent read more of the fanfic that goes from Wufei's side of the story after they left the ship and it may be awhile before i can I have to catch up on a lot of other readings and i haave just now gotten back into wanting to read fanfics. But I will read more of it soon so you have not lost a fan.

Did you by any chance red Robinson Crusoe? The manner you wrie is the same and your tory is abot someone who's been shipwreked too

interesting

What a great ending. I love it. Sorry it took so long to read this. I cant wait to read more of your fanfics your a great author. Keep up the great work Ja ne

okay, yay, i look forward to the sequel!

*sighs happily* That was wonderful! Thank you so much for finishing it (and writing it in the first place, of course), it's been a recurring wish of mine for the last chapter to be up. And now it is! Yay :)

I would have reviewed earlier, but I've been without internet for almost a month (stupid ISP) and only just had it back for about 40 minutes. Yes, your fic was important enough to me to check on before updating anything else!

Right, I promised to finish Carnivale didn't I? A promise is a promise, so I'll work on it tonight and let you know when the next chapter is up. It shouldn't take too long, as the entire story has been planned for a couple of years now...

This is good stuff so far, I shall read the rest tomorrow, but for now I sleep _

n_n yay! you finished it! Awesome! I was not expecting the fisherman part!
