| Hello Misty, I realize that it has been a long time since I last read your story. I am deeply impressed. I had another thought in my head that was totally diffrent from the truth. Poor Aragorn. I'm glad that legolas is with him. His wounds are deep. I hope that with Legolas's help they'll eventually heal. Nayru Author Reply: Thank you. Yes, I think that Legolas will help Aragorn heal from his wounds, even though they were inflicted years ago. | |

| Very interesting story. I like how Legolas doubts what 'must' be true, and how he comes to understand his friend better by learning the truth. Friendship is so important, and it truly does shine in your story. Author Reply: Thanks, I do try to show strong friendships in my stories. Good friends can help people through even the worst circumstances. | |

| In "The Acceptable Sacrifice" I have a discussion of just this issue in which it is impressed upon Frodo that Aragorn has had to live with those who died to give him the chance to fulfill his destiny and has had to learn to accept their sacrfices; and so Frodo needs to learn to accept the same, for Frodo was feeling guilty for all those who died that he might reach the Sammath Naur. An excellent situation to delve into, and a well done story. Author Reply: I'll have to add that to my reading list. This is an interesting issue to go into, and I'd like to see what you've done with it. But it would be a very hard thing for anyone to deal with, knowing that other people gave up their lives so that they might live. | |

| Yes, for the King Returned, this would indeed be a difficult time, learning that he must allow others to die that he might live to fulfill the promise. And the loss of this one, so like unto himself, must have been almost more than he can bear. Author Reply: Yes, he's been living with a great deal of guilt over this for a long time. It's something he'll never fully get past. For him, this would be the hardest part of his heritage, knowing that others would sacrifice their lives for his. | |

| So, it was not as convoluted a story as I had expected. But it's still very tragic. I wonder whether Legolas has a similar incident in his past. I imagine that most professional soldiers can look back on a situation in which their own inexperience cost someone else's life, but Aragorn and Bregor's story is particularly poignant because of the close bond between the two men and the fact that Bregor's wife was expecting. I like this story. Very realistic. Author Reply: But I still liked seeing your guesses. Yes, it is a tragic situation, and I'm sure it's all too common in the lives of soldiers. Aragorn has had to live with the knowledge that his best friend sacrificed his life and the chance to raise his child so that Aragorn would survive. Thanks. | |

| Aha! So the mystery is solved! Now do all the Dunedains look alike? Oh my gosh! What a tragedy! A sacrifice of one life so another can live!..And a best friend! That is hard to take. Poor Aragorn! Author Reply: Well, I do think that many of the Dunedain did at least have similar coloring, so it would not have been that uncommon for Aragorn to find a friend that resembles him. Thanks for deciding to continue the story when you weren't sure where I might be taking it. Yes, it was a tragedy for all involved, but Bregor would have done it again in a heartbeat. It's just been very difficult for Aragorn to live with the knowledge that his best friend would make that kind of sacrifice for him. | |

| Aww, what a guy. So Aragorn had a best friend. This is a good, still sad, story. Alot of best friends happen to be look alikes huh? That only makes the payback better when Aragorn finds a twin to do the twins in. hehe. That is soo sad but sweet how Bregor saved him, and through that he saved a great many people! Don't feel guilty Estel!! Good story, Misty! God bless, ~Arwen Author Reply: Yes, I do think Aragorn really needed an ally in his early travels with the Dunedain. And I could just see these two young humans starting a prank war with the twins. ;-) Considering how close they were, I'm sure Bregor would have done anything to save Aragorn's life, but Aragorn would hold onto that guilt for a long time. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. | |

| How interesting. And how sad. :( I still think the boy is Aragorn's biological son. Perhaps the woman found out about Aragorn's destiny only after she became pregnant. I think that either she was horrified by the idea of herself and her child getting involved in all that or she considered herself unsuitable to be part of it (because of a lack of education or whatever). Aragorn would understand her feelings since he wasn't overly thrilled with his heritage, either. Presumably the woman married Bregor later, with Aragorn's full understanding and support, and Bregor raised the boy. And presumably, Bregor died in some way that's related to his connection with Aragorn. Or perhaps not. I will wait and see. Author Reply: Well, I'm truly enjoying seeing your guesses as to what is happening and where I'm going with this story. As to who Bregor, the woman and the boy are, you should have some of those answers in the next chapter. Enjoy. | |

| Aww, nice place to end! WWHHHAAATTT does he say? I am glad to update quickly or this story would drive me mad. Its very interesting. ;) Keep it up! ~God bless ~Arwen Author Reply: Well, I have to keep the suspense up somehow, don't I? lol I'm glad you're enjoying it. And since I would hate to drive you mad, I just posted the next chapter. You will get some answers there, I promise. | |
