Ah--a wonderful conclusion, as we see Aragorn finally showing he is beginning to recover from the poison! And loved the Darwisa. Now to see her rewarded as is fitting.

And the necklace was delivered and is appreciated. Wonderful!

Enjoyed this a lot Linda. Also liking the re-writes that you are doing but I don't review on the other site.

A heart-stirring ending to this excellent story - I loved it that the combined efforts of Arwen and Faramir were as necessary to Aragorn's recovery as Zafirah's potion. And a great ending to a Middle-earth version of 24 (Faramir as 'Jack Bauer'? He's as resourceful in his world as Jack is in ours, at least...)

Phew, so Faramir made it in time! But what I liked best about this was that it was actually Arwen and Faramir's love for Aragorn that saved him in the end.

Great ending!

And if Faramir and Arwen hadn't used their special skill to call Aragorn back, the darwisa's antidote would not have worked! Only in working together Aragorn could be healed. I like that very much.

“Faramir, whatever have you done to your face?”

LOL!!! On the other hand, how should he know?

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm delighted you enjoyed the story.I'm pleased you liked the way they all worked together to save Aragorn.I did wonder whether to leave Aragorn's reaction to Faramir in the story,but he would be surprised at the way he looked,I think!

at least they have succeeded - I have really doubted it until Faramir remembered his mental bond. Very gripping this story; I loved every word of it. Thank you. Lai

My goodness, this was truly an amazing story. I loved every bit of it. I loved how the darwisa did the treatment too. It's always interesting to see how healing was done in M-e. You have written a fabulous tale. I cannot say enough good things about this story.

The darwisa has proved to be as intriguing a character as expected--powerful women in a setting like this are such fun to read about! It was especially appropriate that Zafirah agreed to help the King not because of his title or positions, or even because of the threat held to her, but because he is beloved!

Arwen in Queenly Mode was amazing!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked the darwisa.I think it shows she has wisdom in her reason to help Aragorn!

I think there is far more to Arwen than meets the eye.She is after all Galadriel's grandaughter.

Oh my, that was too short! Faramir was great here, forcing his way through the guards and as for Arwen, go, girl, go!! Please update soon!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked Faramir and Arwen in this chapter.I hope to post more next week.
