Absolutely lovely! You two are excellent writers. Every chapter from you is a delight to read! And it's wonderful to be meeting old friends again! Hehe, poor, sweet, depressing Bartho... So good to see him again! Hmm, you know, this is a realy good excuse to go back and re-re-re-re-read your stories again to refresh my memories of all these characters... As if I needed amother excuse. g Looking forward to the next chapter! Imbecamiel Author Reply: Why, thank you very much! That really makes our day to hear you say that! And that's the beauty of sequels -- getting to pull your old friends out of moth balls. grins 'poor, sweet, depressing Bartho' cracks up laughing That's it! That's what he is! We'd better not tell him to his face, though, eh? Do you really re-read our stuff? Wow! By all means, look them up again! Lots of the character development in Darkest night has a great deal of bearing on this story.

And so it begins. Two old friends leaving the safety of their city, one with a brand new family and one that does not want to get married because of something that happened to him in the past. Great pair! Will they have a safe journey? Those thugs and the Shadow (an assasin?) better not run into them. I am now officially freaking out and worried to boot. Good job guys! If this were a movie I would cover my eyes or walk out of the room afraid of what's going to happen next!!! Such suspense!! AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! Thanks a lot! Author Reply: So we're definitely making you nervous, then? both girls high-five Er... uh, sorry about that... grin Don't worry, we've got at least another chapter before anything particularly dreadful happens. In the meantime, thank you so much for your review! It encourages us to great heights of punctual posting. grins

Hmm. What's this? Only a handful of paragraphs with Aragorn in them? And no Legolas whatsoever. Tsk, tsk. I expected better from you. g Bartho and Erynbenn are so much fun when they're together. With one optimistic and one pessimistic, they form a delightful contrast; and your sense of humor means it's decidedly entertaining. Hm-hm. A traitor. A nervous traitor at that. And the mysterious 'Shadow'. Is the upcoming attack what brings Legolas into it? Or what sends Aragorn wherever it is he goes? Or is it both? Can you tell I want Legolas to show up? lol. Ah, I'm not tired enough to be silly right now. It's not late enough - only ten o'clock. Hehe. Mm, 6 pgs is decent. 14 is better. Muah. Ha - I started a Christmas fic (not in LOTR) that was supposed to be a oneshot. Well, by the time I got to 30 pages I knew that prospect was well and truly dead. It's more than 50 pages now and not finished yet. I think it's gonna be a five-parter. Alright, there was no point to that. sigh lol. I was looking back over the story to pick out my favorite part (I'm mildly disturbed my favorite part doesn't have anything to do with Aragorn, but you didn't give me much to work with on that point, ya know) and realized, as I didn't when I read it, that the response "Barring fire or robbery, yes" (why would robbery stop him from going to the second circle?) was a clue to who the person was. I'm actually not quite sure why that was amusing to me now that I've shared. Ah, well... Eh, Erynbenn mentioned Bartho getting married... Arien wouldn't happen to be a potential prospect would she? Just an oddish thought. Unless, of course, it's true. g lol. My favorite part is, actually, at the end. "Ready?" the general asked. "Yes." The words were carefully light and sardonic. "Let us go where more great and deadly danger awaits us." "Not to mention rain, if we don't have a spring frost. We're due for it." "Naturally." I can just imagine him rolling his eyes or grinning as he said that. It emeplifies their relationship, I think. And now I'm going to tell you my least favorite part... glares There's no Legolas and too little Aragorn. pouts Is that remedied next chapter? Say yes? This ended up longer than I thought it would be, but now I must go. My brother wants the internet and I'm obliged to give it to him, working man that he is. Hehe. Oh boy; the Jags are making me so sad. First play-off appearance in five years and they're screwing it up. Damn New England anyway. Pardon my language. Alas, now I must bid farewell on a dark note. But fear not! I shall eagerly await your next chapter and get to enjoy it in the peace of my dorm, free from demands on the internet. Ta, dears! lol. Boy do I feel like a nut saying that.... g Author Reply: laughs Oh dear, we hadn't even considered the misery of Aragorn-dependent readers when we divided up the chapters! Sorry about that... Glad, at least, that you enjoyed Bartho and Erynbenn in Aragorn's absence. As for Legolas... not too long now. Regretfully, we have one more chapter sans Aragorn as well... both girls duck out of sight, back to back, behind the desk It's amazing how fics just sort of spin out of control like that, isn't it? Darkest Night was the closest we ever got to a 'short' fic, and it turned out at least twice as long as we intended. Uh-oh, do we have a match-maker in the house? You and Erynbenn are both incorrigible. All we can say is that Arien is single, and Bartho has forever sworn off women. Make of that what you can! innocent smile grins Ooh, specifics! We do love specifics! Particularly favorite parts -- glad you liked that ending! And on that note, whatever the the Jags are doing (sorry, no sports knowledge here in Write Sisters land), we bid thee 'ta'!

Ah, the acion is about to begin. Assassination, attack? Coming from the north? Oh my gosh! O, who will be the victim? I can hardly wait to know! The Gondorians are well informed of the southern queens doings, but sadly do not know the meaning of it. The maze in here would confuse a rabbit. Hehe, Bartho does only say that because he has no sense of direction, does he? And now he knows Arien. Erynbenn's little family is quite sweet, I hope we will see more of them. ~Vil Author Reply: looks about furtively Indeed, danger is lurking close... just another chapter or two... or three, or four, who knows...? Mwahaha! sighs Yes, the Gondorians are about to be caught unawares. grins Alas, Bartho's sense of direction does tend to break down indoors. We'll see Erynbenn's family again, but not much of them. Thanks for the review!
