The Young Knights  by Soledad 1 Review(s)
BodkinReviewed Chapter: 23 on 12/31/2006
Good - Achren and Hurin have settled one matter. That promises (I hope) at least one happy outcome. Although, of course, Theodred and Aud did love each other ... but most of the others don't (as far as I can work out) have much to look forward to. (Well, apart from Faramir. And perhaps Elphir and Morwen?) OK. I suppose I mean Herumor and the inhabitants of Halabor. And Boromir. And Forlong perishes on the Pelennor, doesn't he?

Wouldn't it be an interesting twist if the little dark songbird ended up having Herumor's baby! It would be a firstborn and all... Maybe Halabor would rise from the ashes. Or maybe not. And I would be very interested to learn what becomes of Madenn.

Author Reply: If you looked for the clues carefully, you do know what will become of Madenn. She's at Aragorn's coronation... she's just not named by the Professor.

Yep, Forlong perishes on the Pelennor, poor old sod. But he dies a hero, and his sacifice helps saving Gondor and all the other free peoples, so that's not such a bad thing, after all. And he wasn't young anymore and had a full life already.
