True, Asfaloth, never trust a female! Ahem, very entertaining to read, and very good gap fillers for the movie. And smoothly run, so that the parts from the movie weren't like big lumps, if you know what I mean. Now I have an urge to rewatch that chase scene. Cheers to you and Asfaloth! Author Reply: Hello again, Kitt! I'm glad you like my stories so much, and thank you! Yes, I know what you mean, that's what I tried to do. I am rather intrigued by some of the differences between the book and the movies. I have to admit, after writing this, I really can't see that scene in the same light. *snickers* I hear Asfaloth's voice in my head, complaining loudly about female elves, humans, wraiths, and anything else he can think of to complain about. Thanks for reviewing (I like reviews)! :D | |

*grin* Always a joy to read this tale. I'm so glad you've posted it here!!! MOre! More! More! :) Author Reply: Hey bryn! I'm glad you enjoy it, and don't worry. When I'm done posting Asfaloth's Tale here, next will come the sort-of prequel "An Elf's Best Friend" and then an interlude in "An Elf's Best Friend" chronicling Asfaloth's first riding lesson which I'm working on now. It is tentatively entitled "Lessons Learned the Hard Way." *evil grin* You were right, this is a really nice site, but I couldn't help coming here since I. . . loookeed innttoooo yoour eeyeesssss. ;) Your bio always cracks me up. Thanks! :D | |

Someone's in trouble......!!!!! Author Reply: *innocently* Who, Asfaloth? *evil grin* Since by his own admission he is Asfaloth the Agile, he really should have been a little more careful. Oops. :D Thanks for reviewing! | |

Asfaloth seems to have been a bit more upset at the Bruinen than he was admitting to: he mentions "I saw amid the water white riders upon beautiful white horses with frothing manes" -- yet somehow he fails to mention that these phantom horses are nowhere near as beautiful as *he* is.... How nice to find another Asfaloth story! Author Reply: *grins* Well, you certainly seem to understand Asfaloth's mindset. Being in the presence of the ringwraiths is pretty upsetting though (poor, traumatized Asfaloth ;) ), so he was concentrating more on not shaking like a leaf or bolting. Of course, in a calmer situation, he would have explained his superior qualities quite clearly to everyone in hearing distance. :) Asfaloth's great, isn't he? The horses are the most overlooked characters from the books. There aren't nearly enough stories about the Great Elvish Horse Asfaloth. :) | |

You didn't say anything about what Asfaloth thought of Frodo... Author Reply: Asfaloth hasn't MET Frodo yet. Seeing that he is a rather opinionated horse, he will certainly say what he thinks of Frodo. Once he meets him, anyway. ;) | |

*snorts* Any good elf appreciates irony; so do most writers. :o) I like this one. Very...unique...perspective. :o) Cheers, Kellen Author Reply: Well, as he would be swift to tell you, Asfaloth is a unique horse. Though he might not appreciate your view of his more unique qualities. ;) I'm glad you liked it. Thanks, Kellen! | |
