Short stories always run into the difficulty of giving you enough to make the story flow but not so much as to make it a novel.  In this sense, there could have been more clear cut connections, at times things didn't quite connect very strongly like grasping to make the connection.  That being said, this story has an ethereal quality to it, as another reviewer said, with a sense of a fairy tale of good and evil.  Upon looking at it from that perspective, one can be forgiving to some of these shortfalls.  The author is able to draw you in to this story to try to find out where these two characters are going.  It reminds me a bit of how stories were told when I was a child, giving the sense that anything could very well happen to these two.  And while the female lead is known as the "Seer" which another review criticized for her lack of future insight, it really relates to her role of somebody who knows things other people are unable to comprehend without much thought into how she just knows.  This is how I found a mystical quality to it, in how the characters dance around one another, fighting to make good win.  I certainly enjoyed it, but for those who don't buy into suspended disbelief, this may not be for you.
