| Ah--oddly satisfying to realize the "rowan" was indeed Quickbeam, as I'd hoped! And visiting a tree nursery, apparently. I'm glad they found his father's grave, but grieve with them about the orc. Not a heroic slaying, this. I don't blame Niarl for not wishing the king to know. Other than the part about Quickbeam feeling a bit--hasty--to my ent-loving heart, an excellent chapter. Author Reply: Thank you! I was more thinking along the lines of Niarl warning Deoric not to enrage Eomer by making a stance for the poor orcs, but you're right, it's not a herois deed for Niarl's CV either... Sorry Quickbeam came off too hasty - I didn't want the scene to drag, either. | |

| Yes! Yes these are wonderful encounters! The encounter with Quickbeam was just wonderful, and I'm so glad that they met him. And that was a gut-wrenching moment when he saw the grave. But you did a masterful job with the encounter with the injured orc! Very powerful, and it made its point-- mercy is worthwhile, even to one who might not show mercy back. I could identify with Deoric's reluctance to make the needed coup de grace, and was grateful that Niarl was able to do so! Author Reply: Thank you! I thought this would be a chapter you'd like. :D I decided against the other orc scenario in the end, because Morthoron said it jarred with the rest of the story, and on closer inspection, I had to agree with him. | |

| It is always a pleasure to find a new chapter of your story, and what a chapter of encounters - and all so meaningful to Déoric, too. Author Reply: Thank you, I'm glad you continue to enjoy this story. | |
