This is the stuff of nightmares - very entertaining! Holding my breath until the next chapter!
Author Reply: Nightmarish indeed. To return to the outside world I wanted Eradan to face something deadly that would make your skin crawl at the thought. Beetles came to mind. His fate? To be revealed. Our pieces begin to assemble. The vast flocks of birds have left Rhosgobel, heading south for their part. Mardil advances across the Brown Lands towards the southern edge of Mirkwood. Gandalf and his party make their way west of the Anduin, to eventually enter Mirkwood’s west side at a point of his choosing. Sauron watches Mardil like a spider anticipating dinner with a fly almost in his web. Stay tuned. Much to come. |
