| (At least, I thought I'd read something in the chapter about Jennifer's watch stopping at 4:44, but now I can't find it. Maybe I imagined it. Anyhow, another thought I had was that the stopped watch indicates that no time is passing back home in Oregon, so their parents haven't even missed them yet.) Author Reply: The children who have watches are wearing them when they enter the cave, but the watches stop working when they enter Middle-earth. Here's the paragraph it's in: “Or wicked witches!” Jennifer agreed. She glanced at her wristwatch, which was stubbornly telling her that it was still four forty-four, the time it had been when they had entered the cave. “Wish I knew what time it was,” she muttered. Out loud, she said, “Come on, you three, it’s time for our baths, and then we need to change our clothes.” | |

| It must be sort of like looking like a picture that's out of focus. You can recognize familiar shapes, but some of the other details remain fuzzy and difficult to discern. Y'know, when she picked up the flat pebble in the first place, I wondered if it might have something to do with the magic that transported them... The animal felt like a Warg to me, too, at the time. *shiver* But Glorfindel is on the job! And there's the quote I was thinking of, the one about evil things not coming into the Valley! Interesting that both sides came to the same conclusion, that some divine influence is at work. It makes me think of what JRRT said: The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. The quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must while the eyes of the great are elsewhere. In the first film, Galadriel says something similar to Frodo: Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. The difference in seasons and time of day is interesting, as is the time on Jennifer's watch. So it stopped at 4:44? I recently learned of the concept of "angel numbers"; the explanation I found for "444" is this: The angel number 444 is a message of support, guidance, and love from angels. It can appear when you're working on a goal, facing challenges, or making big decisions. Author Reply: Yep, it's 4:44 when the children enter Middle-earth. Interesting what you said about angel numbers! God is definitely at work both ends, and that's a fact. | |

| No winged monkey or wicked witches, but I suspect the Nazgul and Sauron would make short work of those… :-P I have a feeling that Kaylee’s rock will be coming in handy - we shall see! And in the meantime, everyone just has to hang out and wait to learn what is their piece of the puzzle. Author Reply: LOL! I suspect you're right. =) Of course, to a five-year-old who's grown up on The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West would be the epitome of evil! As you continue reading the repost of our story, you'll discover in what way Kaylee's rock comes in handy. | |
