I loved your description of the First Circle. What a place that is! And oh, am I getting anxious about Aragorn while all this is going on! Great chapter.

This chapter was highly colorful. I loved the contact with the Haradric culture and Faramir getting to disguise himself as one of them. All of the OCs are proving fascinating.

Well written, and the mood of the place was well presented, as is Faramir's concerns for his friend.

Now, will she come? She'd best do so, or I fear Faramir will haul her over his shoulder and carry her bodily up the city to the top!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I agree Faramir will do anything to get the darwisa to come! I'm pleased you liked the chapter.

Adiva is certainly an original and refreshing character! Looks like Faramir is on the right track; but will he be in time? And the Darwisa is introduced in a very mysterious, dramatic fashion that heightens the tension.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you like my Ocs. Poor Faramir must be fearing with every moment that passes that he will be too late.

Harad is so fun to write about. I was glad to see you include some of it in this chapter. I had to put on some of my bellydancing tunes to help set the mood. I like the addition of the shaman woman. I could almost see the bright colors of the house and such. I'm eagerly awaiting chapter 4!!!! Hang in there Aragorn!!
