Brigit's Flame Week 3 - Storyteller

o/` "In the evening when the sun is down
In the last hour of day
I'll entertain the ones wishful to hear
These medieval tales
And then in their sleep, they'll remember days
When lived the kings
in their heroic times." o/`

Thank you so much!

This is part of an ongoing project. A friend and I got to talking about what would happen if Lawrence of Arabia had been reincarnated as a female and Ali as same and whether or not they'd have a chance to make the relationship right this time. This story resulted.

It also weaves in my own experiences with Model League of Arab States and with the summits afterward, to which I was invited for my work in the Model League.

Hi, I'm your other editor. I'm very sorry for the lateness. >__>

I really like the tone of this story; it was a very comfortable tone that made reading the story really fun. Additionally, I loved your attention to detail. I particularly liked this line: "she pranced and capered while laughing in sheer feminine delight over the marvelous feeling of Egyptian cotton and Oriental silk. The small gold coins in the hem tinkled melodically with each movement and the gem outlined flowers caught the dusty afternoon sunlight."

I really don't have much to say about this story; it was very enjoyable to read, and I really like your eye for detail. I'm very interested to know what is going to happen next. :)
