| Vivid descriptions, indeed! There was not much hope left that their situation might improve, and still Saradoc and all the other Bucklanders did not give up! That tells a lot about what hobbits are capable of. And in some way it corresponds to what the four travellers had to endure on their mission. The scene that moved me most was Esmeralda sitting in the moonlight on Merry's bed. Not the mistress, not the wife - only the mother. That scene was brilliant! P.S.: I'm sure if you give your "German muse" some more time, it will return to you. And there will be at least one German reader eagerly awaiting new chapters :) Greetings from Germany to Scotland! Author Reply: It is indeed a journey similar to the one of the four travellers folk in Buckland went through. Each had their own demons to face and their own fears to overcome during the Troubles. I love the scene with Esmeralda as well. It reminded me of a similar one in Schicksalsjahre, only there she is thinking more of her "other son". My muse is actually fine... only it's locked up again until the end of my. Studies are too busy :( And I'm still waiting for Ivy's beta. Thanks! | |

| Too much reason for grief here! And yet they continue on as they must, the Master and his brother and their folk! Vivid descriptions. Author Reply: They continue because there is nothing else they could do and because it is what they had been raised to do - Merimac as much as Saradoc though it is Saradoc who bears the title and thus the burden. Thanks a lot! | |

| Great chapter! I liked the flashback to the attack on Crickhollow (poor Freddy!) and also Paladin's reaction to Pippin leaving. Your writing style is great too - very Tolkien-esque :) Author Reply: Paladin's reaction, as well as the beginning of the Crickhollow flashback I took from one of my other stories, "A Father's Worries" where you can see the confrontation between Paladin and Saradoc in more detail... and written in a time when I knew hardly anything about the two of them. Tolkien-esque, eh? *beams* Thanks a lot! | |
