| Does your sequel happen to be "His Father Son"? Author Reply: "His Father's Son" is set several years in the future and as such is not yet directly part of my series of stories.I have another "BUrden of Guilt" length epic that I'm currently working on as a direct sequel. | |

| I'm glad Aragorn controlled his urge to take revenge. A moment's satisfaction would lead him to a lifetime of regret - and Mahrod, if he knew that, would probably take great pleasure in driving the king to condemn him to a traitor's death. Mind you, I'm quite glad to have seen Eomer be a little less judicial. His hot temper has its advantages at times! Fingers crossed for Faramir! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm glad Aragorn controlled his righteous anger too as a King cannot let emotion dictate jucicial decisions and some of my reviewers on another site wanted a very gruesome punishment ! I had fun writing Eomer is this scene. | |

| Aaaaand this is why God invented defense attorneys. Old Mahrod never stood a chance, not in a courtroom full of spectators out for blood and a judge who already had a pretty good idea of his guilt. The bit with the sword of mercy and the sword of death was a nice touch. There's something very ancient and solemn about that. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I took the idea of the swords from those used in the coronation of a British Monarch who is presented them to symbolise the need for both justice and mercy. | |

| Whew! *waves hand in front of face* The trial room is full of Aragorn's fury! I need some air! Man, you make Aragorn so infuriated that I can almost imagine (but I can picture) steam coming out from his nose and ears. This quote I found funny: “Where is Lord not a traitor Faramir then?” What an excellent title: Lord-not-a-traitor-Faramir. Heheheh, just joking around. But these last few days I needed humor. It was all intense and serious. In my opinion, Eomer wasn't as grand as all the other witnesses--he was the best! I couldn't hold it in any longer, if I was there, I would certainly intervene. But I think he went too far--Mahrod wouldn't have been whipped with goose feathers--it was a whip, but whipped very lightly. I suppose you used an idiom there. And the king of Rohan certainly is right--dying just from a slit throat would be too fast and Mahrod wouldn't suffer, and it certainly is too honorable. After all, he commited RAPE, but it's a good thing he didn't get the woman pregnant--and he called it a bit of FUN?! Well, that's the trouble with men. They don't know anything that women have to go through during pregnancy. Good job this time. I'm really sad--this story is going to end sometime--but I hope you've got a plan for a new story in your mind! And you made a typo-- “It just weren’t fair!” I might be wrong, but I think it's "It just wasn't fair!" I'm not obsessed with grammar, so pardon me if I'm wrong. But I never told you what we were doing in history class, did I? Here, this is what we're doing: Square dancing. Yuck. At first the first several steps weren't that bad; they were things like swinging your partner (that's when you hook onto the crook of your partner's elbow and vice versa and then you spin in a circle, then reverse arms), then we have the do-se-do, which is putting your arms on your chest and circling your partner to the right. I forgot to mention ONE important thing: WE ALSO HAVE A CORNER PARTNER. That means that we have TWO partners. Ewwwwwww!!! Ok, and then the third step is that we grip our partner's right arm, then you walk past him on their left side, then move to the next guy, get his left arm, and walk past him on his right side, and you keep on doing that until you reach your partner. Then there's the bridge. The head couple, which is the couple facing the mountains, makes a bridge by placing the palms of their hands against each other, then the second pair goes under the bridge--girl, boy, girl, boy, and so on. Now, in each group there are four couples, and the last couple (which happens to be me and some guy) goes under the original bridge and makes a second one next to the first bridge. Then the head couple goes under our bridge and walk to their original spots, then we walk back. Finally, there's the most horrible thing of all. It's called something that starts with a 'p'--oh, I looked it up in the dictinary and it's called 'promenade' and what happens is that a girl has to turn to the right. She raises up her left arm, and her partner takes her hand with his left, and puts his right arm AROUND THE GIRL'S WAIST and walks around with her around the circle. That was so disgusting and humiliating!!! Worst of all, this was because this was during 1st period, and there were two PE classes, and they all gathered together to watch us dance. Waaahhhhhh!!! So with my partner, I snarled to him: "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!" and he agreed, but there were actually some guys who actually DID PUT THEIR ARM AROUND A GIRL'S WAIST! *PERVERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Well, not that all guys are perverts; if there was a person I liked did put their arm around my waist, then he wouldn't at all be a perve. Ok, good job, please just update sooner. Hershey's hugs/kisses -Lady Saruman ^_~ P.S. I would like to give you a hug for all the great work you did so far. ^_^ -The Lady of Isengard *grin* Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm so pleased you are enjoying the story. I had fun writing Eomer in this scene.The goose feathers was just a figure of speech for him. I had Mahrod use bad grammar on purpose. I do indeed have a sequel which I hope you will enjoy. I'm sorry you are not enjoying youre classes.I'm glad I didn't have to learn dancing at school ! | |
