Untold Tales of the Mark: The Banishment of Éomer  by Katzilla 4 Review(s)
CassandraRaeReviewed Chapter: 66 on 4/3/2007
This story is so amazing! I discovered it shortly after you published chapter 65 and read the whole thing straight through, so I've been waiting desperately for following chapters. This chapter certainly didn't disappoint! (Well, it did, but only because it ended.) ;) I love how you portray the characters (especially Eomer and Eowyn), and I'm eager to see how the story will progress after Eowyn wakes up (assuming, of course, that she does). I'm also eager to learn of Aragorn and the others' reactions to the situation in Edoras and Eomer's reaction to finding out that Wormtongue escaped. Please, keep up the great work and update soon!

Author Reply: Hi Cassandra,

and likewise a - albeit very delayed - "Welcome to the Story!" to you! I was really glad to find your review upon my return, as it is always wonderful when even toward the end of a long story, new readers join the bandwagon. I hope the new chapter will not leave you disappointed and look forward to hearing from you again! :-)

Greetings,
Katzilla

Ack! Unless you're really going for misdirection, it sounds like it's time for Aragorn to arrive!

Author Reply: Well, he's already there, but someone has to show him the way Éowyn's bedroom, first... (now why does that sound corny?)

Oh my goodness gracious! No, Eowyn, there is hope. Eomer is with you! But how will she ever know that. To have missed their reunion by but moments!

Before I read this, Katzilla, I had to go back and re-read the previous chapter. It was so potent and powerful, that I wanted to bring it with me to your newest chapter. And I'm very glad I did.

This is excellent and I feel so badly for Eomer - but also for the dear handmaiden. What bravery she shows!

Author Reply: Hi Agape, and again sorry for responding with such delay, but it seems that I've been fighting on many different fronts these past weeks, not least of all the new chapter (which was a BLOODY hard one!!)

Please be assured that your reviews are always a highlight for me, and I am always very interested in your reactions to the things happening in "Banishment". I was very happy to read that the last two chapters made such an impression on you and hope that the new one will not disappoint you.

Best,
Katzilla

When the black breath blows,
And death's shadow grows,
Come Athelas! Come Athelas!
Life to the dying,
In the king's hand lying!

Author Reply: Ah, yes, this would be handy right now, wouldn't it? But I need to decide yet whether that weed actually grows around Edoras. If not, Aragorn may have to pull some other trick out of his (or Gandalf's, rather ;->) hat.

thanks for the beautiful line from the master himself!
