| What a great story. So, Beorning ancestress! This was amusing. As a cautious Aragorn fan I appreciate how rude he appears in the scene with norna. It is credible, somehow, that a chameleon ranger snaps once in a while, especially knowing that he can't really deceive the wisard(ess?). | |

| Thank you. I loved the scene between Aragorn and the norna. What a great idea that she is one of the mysterious Blue Wizards and how fitting she should provide the sword.I also enjoy your vivid description of the feast. Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it. The Blue Wizard had to wait almost a decade to finally make an appearance, poor thing. I know, of course, that Tolkien intended all of them being males, but the names Alatar and Alatariel sounded too similar not to give in to temptation. *g* | |

| Really interesting twist with the lady being one of the blue "wizards". I've never perceived Aragorn to be as prejudiced as you have him in this chapter and up to this chapter it seems you didn't either or am I missing something? Thanks so much for continuing your work on this story. Looking forward to future installments as always. Author Reply: I honestly don't know why Aragorn turned out like this in this chapter. It wasn't intended. The dialogue just kept turning that way, no matter how much I tried to lead him down another path. I guess he must have made some really off-putting experiences while living at the Khimmer court. Now, the norna, on the other hand, he was always going to be a Blue Wizard. For me, it made sense that some of the Istari would try to civilize the peoples of the East, too. | |
