The Vault of the Dead  by Soledad 4 Review(s)

Hmm. This was a good, evocative chapter, but I don't quite agree with your Faramir saying that he never loved Minas Tirith quite as much as Boromir did. He did love Minas Tirith, loved it with all his heart, and fought for the day that he could see it rebuilt, instead of reduced in the Shadow. At least, that's how I always interpreted his words to Frodo in the book. :)

Anyway, nice one! :)

Author Reply: Well, interpretation is a subjective thing, isn't it? ;)

Glad you liked the story nonetheless.

A blessed chance to fare well each the other, and to accept that the world has indeed changed. I've often wondered what it might have been like had Boromir not died--how he would have dealt with the King Returned, however much he respected him as a guide and fellow warrior; as rival....

Thought-provoking.

Author Reply: Thanks. That is a question I've often pondered about, too. For, logically, had Boromir not died, Denethor might not have succumbed to madness, and a Denethor with his wits halfway about him would have given Aragorn a hard time - at the latest when the War was won.

One day, I might write an AU, describing just that. *g*

Wow! What a fascinating story!

I love your mysterious Avari, and their hidden city. And I am glad that Faramir got to say good-bye to his brother.

Will be interesting to see who Gandalf and Legolas are to meet.

Well done, Soledad!

This story came to me completely unexpected, which is the reason why I was able to write so fast; it practically wrote itself. I expect two more chapters and then it will be hopefully completed.

Just wanted you to know I am enjoying your story, it's very different and mysterious I am curious who it is that Legolas is visiting?

Author Reply: Thank you. :)
I'll try to lift the veil from the secret during the weekend, if the muse cooperates.
