The Blessing  by Pearl Took 7 Review(s)
AntaneReviewed Chapter: Prologue on 7/13/2008
I am just beginning this and I know it's going to take a long time to get through it all, but I am enjoying it already. Poor Merry to see his beloved elder cousin in such shape, but pride and love too. Nice that Pippin is conscious and himself. :). I look forward to more!

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Author Reply: Thank you for coming to read this, Antane :-) It is a hard story to read in many ways, but there is always hope. And Golden and I hope you will enjoy it.

Hugs,
Pearl

Oh my! This is lovely - I like the idea - I often thought it was odd that Pip suffered so little from laying under a troll for hours on end!



Author Reply: Hi Agape!

Thank you for reading :-) I'm glad you like what you've read so far.

I'm here! Last week was...well, I just thank God that it is now *last* week. :-P

At the challenges, I read where Aragorn whispers the blessing to Pip, but only today did I stop to think about the kindness of such a gesture that it was - and that it is a blessing given to each first-born son. That is so lovely!

Off I go to read more!

Yes, it will prove to be quite the kindness. I'm so glad you liked it :-)

Merry seems fragile like an egg at the moment. Tough and resilient in some ways, but he would be easily shattered.

And if he's been shown all the positives first, he must suspect that there is a very big piece of bad news about to land on him.

Author Reply: Hi Bodkin :-)

Though Pippin is the eventual focus of the story, I know all four of the hobbits would be fragile at this point for various reasons and I don't want to light any of them. Glad to see you here :-)

A blessing needed. Spinal cord damage?

Author Reply: Hi Larner!

Well . . .
You'll soon see ;-)

I spotted this when I was browsing the SoA main page, and thought I'd drop by to take a look. This is shaping up to be a good story - it makes sense to me that Pippin would have possibly suffered more injury than Tolkien let on.

Off to read the next chapter - and looking forward to more!

Author Reply: Welcome Telpethoron and thank you for deciding to give this a try :-)

I had always wondered about it as well and was very glad that Golden asked if anyone was interested in helping her with it.
