Untold Tales of the Mark: The Banishment of Éomer  by Katzilla 1 Review(s)
Lady BluejayReviewed Chapter: 33 on 6/5/2006
This was the moment he knew so well: it separated the warrior from the commoner, and the marshal from the simple rider. Where the frightened man would flee or freeze; the warrior came to life.
The pounding of his heart thunder in his ears, the rush of blood in his veins so loud that it drowned out all other noises, Éomer felt battle-readiness flood his body like hundreds of times before: it was an unstoppable, hot wave saturating his muscles and preparing them for the challenge ahead, while at the same time his mind was overtaken by a great calm and clarity.

Yes, I liked that bit,especially. LBJ



Author Reply: Hi Sidonie,

thanks a lot for your comment. Yup, I, too, love to write about the honourable, couragous side of the Rohirrim. It is one of the main reasons for writing this story. I am so put-off by the rather boorish version of Éomer which seems to have taken over fanfic-world that I really want to provide a sort of counterbalance. Yeah, he might be good at warfare, but he's not a killing machine, by Béma's beard!!
