hello, you wrote a wonderful chapter. I hope that you will keep on writing...

Author Reply: Of course I will. This story is, in fact, completely written and I just update it whenever I think of it.

Thanks a lot for your comment.

Dear Lily,

It was wonderful to see this story continued!

And who else but Merimac could have been the major character in this chapter.

His son Berilac is a true hero, no doubt about that, but it was his father's determination that saved his life. And the skills of an old healer. He should not be forgotten.

Last but not least, I just wanted to tell you that I'm really admiring your skill of using the English language. Since you went to Scotland, your English has improved greatly. It has grown more colourful, if you know what I mean.

I would love to express my thoughts as easily as you do, but I fear I'm far away from that ;-)

Thank you for this chapter!

Author Reply: A true hero Berilac might be, but also a foolish one - and whether or not this will cost his life remains yet to be seen. And Merimac is at least as much a hero as his son.

Don't praise my English skills before you see how my German stumbles along. I've re-read the entire Bag End bit of Schicksalsjahre eines Hobbits (some 270 pages) and I still can't hear Frodo's voice. I'm beginning to fear that I've lost it, but I'm not yet giving up.

Thanks a lot for reviewing!

The usurpers have come, and Merimac has stood against them. Perhaps he, more than most, will recognize his Cousin Frodo's feelings when that one comes back.

Author Reply: There is a lot of courage in Merimac - especially when it comes to his children's safety. He has stood against the Men, but it doesn't mean he won't be haunted by what happened.

Thanks!
