A little rationality lifts the quality of the debate here. Thanks for cogbuitrtinn!

A great opening.I love the relationship between Aragorn and Gandalf.

Author Reply: Thank you! I have always loved the canon interactions between these two, and it was very wonderful to write them in a situation where it was just the two of them -- without any hobbits or privileged southern emissaries to be strong for. As two old friends, they are free to share their discouragement and frustrations with one another.

Ooooh I am so excited to see this story here! Thank you Canafinwe--you do a fantastic job portraying one of the most compelling gaps in Tolkein's series. Poor Aragorn might not agree with me, but this is a truly marvelous tale!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I'm delighted to know you're enjoying it... though as you say I'm sure that Aragorn is not.

It's the anon from earlier--I actually did just check out the story at the other location, and I'm flailing gleefully! That shows me for not checking before my earlier comment. I LOVE your writing, and I'm so excited to read more of this story; it's been one of my favorites for ages. :D

Author Reply: Oh, I'm glad! I hope you enjoy the new chapters. Do be sure to let me know!

The weariness and near-futility of this quest is beautifully described here. What these two (and others) sacrificed in the hope that something good might come of their efforts!

Author Reply: I'm very glad to know it all came across. I can only imagine how discouraged they must have been at this point.

Beginnings of a great story here. I love your realistic description of the muck, tiredness, depression and courage of these two. Thanks for a fantastic morning read.

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm delighted that you enjoyed it.
