The thoughts of Elfhelm's consort about the welcoming of the troops was beautifully written. I could well imagine the scene - joy and despair-filled all within moments. Excellent chapter... I continue to read! | |

I love to hate your characterization of Grima. Here he is more than a puppet of Sauraman, a sneaky strategist, willing to sacrifice anything and everyone to accomplish his plans. You are writing this as if this is a live chess game. Moving the pieces made up of the knights Elfhelm and Ceorl across the board in moves against the Worm. It is going to be interesting to see how secretive they can be before they are discovered. And Theored talking to Eomer? For a ghost he has some good ideas on getting Eomer in touch with Elfhelm. If one didn't know Theored wasn't really there one could believe that Eomer had found friends to stay with. And a cliffie to keep us on our toes? Can't wait to see what happens. Rikwen Author Reply: Hello Rikwen, great to have you back. :-) Yes, it definitely has the feel of chess. It's fun to write, but on the other hand, I'm really busting my brain cells not to overlook anything. I hope I can keep it up. And re. Théodred: I thought that éomer desperately needed a friend in this situation, plus it makes it easier to write about his plans if I reveal them in a dialogue. The next update will take a few days yet, but be prepared that this wasn't the last cliffhanger ... (I know, I'm evil...) Thank you for dropping by! | |

Now you made my day (: But the ending the suspense - ahhh. I like the idea of Éomer and Théodred discussing what to do about Rohan's situation, btw. I think it is very realistic. (: After all they were rather close and it is not that long ago that Théodred died. Yes I can very much see how he would do that. So I like it a lot. As I mentioned I'm all exited and worried of what will happen. Now it's just gotten worse! Éowyn is still uncertain of Éomer's fate and Élric's. I sincerely hope she will find out the truth!! I so want her to be able to do something!! And now you have me really worried about both Éomer and Elfhelm. Is it orc's or Grima's creatures, that have found him?? Would be too early for the men Elfhelm had sent out. But anyway even if there're orc's now, Éomer will manage until help comes. And I must say I highly doubt Elfhelm will be allowed to talk to Éowyn. Nor do I believe I fear the worm will let him leave Edoras peacefully once he has arrived. I'm so sure that he'll try and be gone with him. Anyway thank you for the quick update.(: It is a wonderful evil cliffhanger. I'll try and survive until the next one, haha. So yes I liked it very much indeed. Author Reply: Hi Allacaya, glad to see that we continue to make each other's days. :-) Oh yeah, I love nasty endings, I'm not a nice person. (smiles innocently) Yup, Elfhelm might be a bit too optimistic about talking to Éowyn, but then again, he and Céorl are both mighty men of war. AT least they will put Gríma to the test. And I've got a feeling that we fill find out what (or who) it is at the entrance to Éomer's cave...;-) Please stay tuned, and thank you for the heads-up! | |
