A good filler of one of my favourite passages from one of my favourite chapters in the books! Thanks for sharing!

Oh I am late to this but I am glad that I found it!

Wonderful, one of my favorite chapters is the Grey Company and I love that you did this from Halbarand's point of view.

Well done!

Thanks, Idril. Late or early, makes little difference when you have such nice words to offer. :)

I love that you did this from Halbarand's point of view.

Yeah, he must have been something else if Aragorn was so thrilled to see him, and yet we know so little about him.

Thanks again,

Where lay his heart? In the Angle of the Bruinen and Mitheithel, where he had left his family to face the fell things that crept out from beneath the mountains? Or far ahead in the alien night, beating in the chest of his chief?

The time for skulking in shadows was over.


Marvelous! It's great to see this from Halbarad's point of view. And at last the long, patient, untiring wait of the Dunedain has ended.

Author Reply: Thanks! Yes, those tantalizing glimpses we get in LotR of someone who is Aragorn's kinsman only serve to whet the appetite for more. Or, at least, leave *me* wanting more. :oD

I've read this before, I think, but wanted to leave a review this time to say that it's very touching how the Dunedain draw strength from Aragorn and prepare to join him in war after the many years of waiting in obscurity, smoking their pipes and slogging away. Finally, they are making their move in the end game, and the excitement is all the more palpable because of their stolid personalities.

Thanks, Amy. I can only imagine the Dunedain of the North had so little left to cling to that when their one source of hope seemed poised on ascendancy it could only have been a powerful time for them.
