A very long night, indeed. Alas, poor Boromir! (That he doubted his ability to resist the lure of the Ring, even knowing what havoc it had already caused.) This part almost reads like poetry: "A fine thing!" he murmured, as if to himself. "Boromir, captain of Gondor, pride of his people, defender of Minas Tirith -- of such little consequence to the enemy! The wave of war has passed over me and cast me upon the shore, and now the tide recedes and I am left behind." | |

I really think that this is a wonderful story so far. I can't wait for the next chapter. | |

I was hoping somebody would write a story about what would of happened if Boromir had survived! I look forward to the continuation of this story with great anticipation. Well written :) | |

Checking in again to let you know that I had been wondering what you would do with Boromir and much you would attempt to stick to cannon, and can say that I was surprised at your solution--but very happy with it, as well, since it keeps the three hunters and the events in Rohan intact and true to the book. You've got an excellent story going here! Now I'm just wondering who will find Boromir first and how you are going to continue to work him into the rest of the story. I'm looking forward to more! | |

It would have been easier on us all if you had fainted! - Still laughing - but it also would have been easier on Boromir!!! prepare a litter for my carrying, and not a bier - my sentiments eactly - but then Aragorn reassures him - thankfully.... The man needs someone to give him the strength needed to get past what he has just endured and what he will endure - I can't see the walk (even carried) as very comfortable! "I see the truth," he said through his tears, "yet still I desire It! - This was so sad to read, even tho we know he no longer hears the Ring, the hope is still there for some victory, some help for Gondor. He is still suffering the effects, the lies, of the Ring. the shards of his sword - Oh! I'm glad he's got his sword - that's, I think, thanks to Aragorn. His mouth twisted ruefully, - very difficult times for Boromir of Gondor - swallowing his pride and his dreams and his NEED to help Aragorn as well as his people.... half in hope that one, at least, would turn back to remain with him - Poor Boromir - even being the great Captain of Gondor... I can only sit and hope that Denethor sends aid soon! | |

Ah, Boromir is wise enough, I think, to survive now. And I can see the ambivalence here, as he knows all three should go but he still wishes--privately and with competing hope they will not do so--at least one might remain with him. Now, to see Denethor's folk find him! | |
