| What a nerve-racking start! And very cunningly avoiding names! | |

| This is a scary start! No hobbits should be afraid, bound and gagged, in the dark, waking from nightmare to nightmare! I'm not sure if I'm hoping that this is Pippin, with Merry beside him, or if I'm hoping it's not. Because if it is Pippin and Merry, well, they have the experience few other hobbits do of surviving and escaping very dire circumstances, so I have confidence in their skills and cunning, and some hope; however, I don't want my lovely hobbits to be in such dire circumstances in the first place. If it's some other hobbits, less hope and maybe less reason to love them already when I don't know their names (but then again, all hobbits are lovely, aren't they?) A sapping cliffhanger of an opening, Lindelea! Author Reply: Definitely agree with you--all hobbits are lovely, and desperate situations just done fit. Will have to get them out of this rather quickly, I think. | |

| Now, what a way to awake, bringing to mind immediately the memory of Moria and Gandalf's fall with the Balrog. The idea Gandalf's fall to his apparent death was lit by the Balrog's fires is a horrifying one, btw. Now, who's abducted him, under what circumstances, and where's he being held? Author Reply: Yes, the image haunted me too. The details of the abduction will come clear over the next couple chapters. (There aren't that many chapters in all, either, so there won't be long to wait.) | |

| Goodness! Now if *that* isn't an intriguing beginning! Author Reply: Hope it continues to please. | |

| Oh! And you stop there! This is too exciting. *paces impateiently wanting more* Sorry. This is a wonderful start and I do want more. :D Is it Pippin or perhaps Faramir? Where is he? What has happened? Author Reply: You are a very perceptive reader! The prologue could be either, or both (one mirroring the other), but Chapter 1 makes it clear. (at least, I hope) | |
