Beautiful and elevating! :) I always like stories pointing to this moment in the book! :)

Author Reply: Thanx for reading and commenting - I enjoyed writing this one. It must have such an exciting time for the people of Gondor, and elsewhere...

Hi Raksha!

Oh, I can *feel* the lightness in the air and in his heart! This is beautiful! Thank you!

Author Reply: You're welcome, Barbara - I see it as a day when joy was bubbling up in everyone's heart, if only for a little while; and Faramir would have felt it quite keenly, as someone who had fought the Shadow and been personally preyed upon by it.

he looked for the first time upon a dawn free of Shadow

What a magnificent moment.

Sorry, that was me. Forgot to log on!

Author Reply: It had to be one of those great historic moments; and the sense of relief and joy must have been overwhelming.

Very effective, especially the bit about the Enemy's fall.

I hope the pounding head wasn't due to alcoholic celebration!

Funny he doesn't think of Eowyn?

Author Reply: Yes, I rather think the pounding head was due to some alcoholic celebration; and high time, too.

He's been thinking of Eowyn every other minute, I figure his first thoughts, on waking up for the first time to a Shadow-free dawn, would have been on more general things, the world without Sauron, etc.

Definitely a good reason for a celebration worthy of a pounding head! And it's the first time he's seen clean skies over the Ephel Duath in his lifetime!

Author Reply: I imagine there were a lot of pounding heads in Minas Tirith that morning, and smiles when they saw the shadow-free skies!

This is a very uplifting piece. How wonderful to know that the threat Faramir had lived with all his life had vanished.

Author Reply: There must have been such euphoria among those who remained in Minas Tirith, and Faramir, who would have held so much responsibility for the City and realm, would have felt particularly lightened...

Thanx for reviewing!
