At least it's likely that Aragorn, having experienced the Black Breath himself, had a good feel for how it might be experienced by others. I can appreciate just why his parents are concerned yet did as they did. No one wants to kill a helpless individual when one's children are watching, after all. And in the end this will work to the good of this man's son, now that he's a prisoner of war.

Author Reply: Indeed. Given his strong reactions to the Nazgul in canon, I thought it likely that he had crossed paths with them, and perhaps even experienced the Black Breath himself.

Thanks for reviewing!

You have a way of grabbing your reader right away and leaves them wanting more. Excellent opening.

I already like your narrator/primary character. I am actually seeing and feeling everything that your character is going through...and it is a feeling of uncertainty and resolute.

I like your shift from present to past. From the bustle of a city courtyeard to the tranquility and peace of open space and....goats! Awesome! And the family is endearing!

Author Reply: Thanks for the awesome review! I'm glad you like this story so far! I'm especially glad that my narrator, Hakim, is coming through clearly. I always get a little nervous about original characters, but I can't seem to stop writing them. ;)

I hope you keep reading!

This is a fantastic concept. I'm particularly fond of outside POVs concerning Aragorn. Looking forward to more.
