I am seriously hoping this is not the last chapter. I have never read anything like this. It makes me sad to think that people don't remember the true details of the ring war, when so much was sacrificed. So the elves are all gone. I wonder...did Tolkien ever explain what happened to the hobbits?

Well, hope to read more, this was wonderful. I liked your entering the details of the tapestry of the witch king, Eowyn and Merry.

This looks extremely interesting. Aragorn is an incredible character and I look forward to studying him along with his great grandson!

Loved Arwin's discription of Aragorn when she met him, and of later. It must have been hard for Aragorn to have to wait so long. Great chapter, looking forward to more

Interesting and well done. I like the perspective of time, looking back at the distant Elessar. I also very much enjoyed your interlude, it does set a good tone and gave me a chuckle to think of all the stories and legends of the past that it would be wonderful to be able to believe in.

I've not had the leisure to read it in full,but sounds promising. I can't help but notice you partly filched the last part of Chapter Three from 'Dune' though. ;)

What a lovely father and son tale of Aragorn and Eldarion. I can just see him, waiting there - and then never mentioning it.

The years following a tremendous victory are very difficult - the worst danger is gone, but it leaves an emptiness. Children grow up with the heroics, but know little about the price of victory. Poor Halbarad.

'it was very like Elessar. Perfect, and ideal, matchless and unattainable.' And that's a hero for you. Not the man who got wet in the rain, and made holes in his socks and snored. I hope he finds the man beneath the legend.

'The king laughs, an odd, almost bitter laugh.

"Fond! Fond, ay, and more than merely fond, for well I remember the nightmares he had after Elessar's passing. Once I heard him calling out in his sleep, in the dark watches of the night, and he said - " here the king stops suddenly. '

This sounds interesting - did Eldarion's son feel that his father overlooked him for Elessar? That he couldn't possibly measure up to the legendary figure?

It's not easy being the close descendent of a legend. What, a few generations on, becomes interesting can be, in a parent or grandparent, totally intimidating.

This is a very interesting beginning - and I want to know more about the girl, too. And how old is Elentirmo?



Author Reply: Thanks for the review, I'm glad you found the beginning interesting.

To answer questions very thoroughly here would be to paste the later bits of the story in, which I obviously can't do. Instead, I'll just say that I'll probably be answering most of this later.

Unofficially, Elentirmo is twentyish.

Thanks for droppning by!

This is a great start, extremely interesting. I already like Elentirmo and look forward to reading more about his discoveries about his great Grandfather.
