| The darwisa has proved to be as intriguing a character as expected--powerful women in a setting like this are such fun to read about! It was especially appropriate that Zafirah agreed to help the King not because of his title or positions, or even because of the threat held to her, but because he is beloved! Arwen in Queenly Mode was amazing! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked the darwisa.I think it shows she has wisdom in her reason to help Aragorn! I think there is far more to Arwen than meets the eye.She is after all Galadriel's grandaughter. | |

| Well, they found the darwisa alright! Zafirah is certainly an interesting character. Very suspenseful; and it's always nice to see Faramir demonstrating the resolve and resourcefulness Tolkien gave him, not to mention Arwen exerting queenly authority.

| Cliffhanger! I really hope Zafirah arrived in time to rescue Aragorn. That was a great chapter. I really like the darwisa, especially her answer to Faramir's most urgent question. “Is there an antidote?” Faramir demanded. Zafirah smiled again. “Of course. What use would it be to us, if we could not control the powers of life and death the plant holds!” Of course there had to be an antidote. Otherwise the poison would be useless. For unlike some men, women think ahead ;-) I also loved how Arwen used her position as the Queen to decide against the healers. I only wished the next chapter was already there... Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I think these wisewomen know a great deal they will never reveal to men!I'm pleased you enjoyed the chapter and the darwisa.I hope to post more next week. | |

| The entire chapter was filled with suspense, lots of moments where I caught my breath. I like the Darwisa a lot. I like how faramr was so persistant and wasn't willing to back down. I loved how you ended it with Arwen commanding as the queen she is. This is really wonderful and exciting!
