| I knew it - splashed with some holy water! What a neat idea and now there's another chapter waiting already! :) You are too good to me, cousin. *skips right over to read next chapter* Namarie, God bless, your happy berry :) Author Reply: Hello bloom, so you knew it, eh? I'm not surprised. For all your tomfoolery (and love of pub brawls), you Tooks are a clever lot! But yes, the One Ring has been baptised by the light and is no doubt burning with the cold fury of Eärendil as we speak ... Ouch! Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear & hope you enjoy Chapter 13, Cousin M ;) | |

| Ah, the idea of "defiling" what was already defiled by Sauron himself is somehow delightful! Just what form can this "defiling" take? And am glad to aid you in finding the right words! I love that the Nazgul themselves know fear here! Excellent development! Author Reply: Hello Larner! Thanks for letting me pinch your word, and for being so nice about it, too! The Ring is just arrogant enough to assume any hurt to its person (can I say that about an inanimate object? Might work, 'cos it's sentient, I suppose ...) is a defilement - a bit of cheek on its behalf, considering the amount of destruction it's caused during its existence! And yep! It is about time that the Nazgūl got a taste of their own medicine! Hah! Fear the Star-glass! Fear the hobbits! *sniggers* Next chapter's coming right up, m'dear. Thanks very much for R & R-ing this one, M ;) | |

| It really worked! But poor Frodo! He must be in terrible pain at the moment. And the Nazgul with him, which is at least one good thing. Would Sam really have had the strength to take Frodo and jump with him in the abyss? That would have meant killing his dear master! On second thought, I'm still not sure where Sam's latest attack will lead ... Thank you for updating in lightning speed :-) Author Reply: Hello Andrea, yep, it really worked. And I imagine Frodo is in awful pain - but if it frees him from the One Ring, he may not complain too much. Hmm. I don't really know if Sam could have killed his master. On the other hand (no pun intended), he knows how long and hard Frodo has fought the influence of the Ring, and ho remembers how disgusted Frodo was with himself when he snapped at Sam back in the Tower of Cirith Ungol while under the Ring's influence. He also believes that neither of them will make it out of Mordor alive - something even Frodo admitted to on the plains of Gorgoroth. Left with no other choice, he might very well choose his and Frodo's deaths by his own hand, rather than let the Black Riders finish them off - because death by Nazgul would see the One Ring delivered back to their master and result in the fall of Middle Earth. Still, that's only a theory ;) I'm just about to post the next chapter, so I hope you enjoy that too! Thanks for R & R-ing, M ;) | |
