A harrowing dramatic scene. Pain and trauma are not easily healed. Nice to see the bond between Aragorn and Faramir confirmed again...

Author Reply: Thank you. I'm pleased you enjoyed the bond between our heroes.

Pain, unfortunately, is as common as joy within this world. Aragorn gives Faramir good counsel.

Author Reply: Aragorn is very wise. Sadly as we live in Arda marred,pain is common to us all.

p.s. I, too, am concerned for the mare, though as a descendant of the Mearas I expect she may be more intelligent than the Men who have taken her. And I want to see Legolas capture the brigands, and see them get their just deserts!

(All in good time. Glad to see you posting this.)

Author Reply: I;m hopeful for the mare too as she is very bright. You are most welcome.

"Only the Valar could answer that question," said Aragorn. "Since Melkor wove discord in the Music that created Arda, Men and Elves have suffered as have all living creatures. Why did the innocent perish with the guilty when the great wave engulfed Númenor? Why was my lady's mother put to such torment? I trust that when we pass beyond the circles of Arda that the One will make all things plain to us. Until then, all we can do is comfort one another and hold fast to love and to loyalty and fighting for what is right."

This is a lovely, hopeful sentiment. I love the tender care the King shows for his friend.

Please be sure to add author's notes at the end, when you're done posting, so that I can look up the other stories you refer to?

Author Reply: Thank you. I love writing caring Aragorn. Which other stories are you interested in? Web of Treason is one Aragorn refers to where Faramir cares for him, as he does in Shadow and Thought.

What beautiful and loving words. This is a special friendship indeed.
