| I have often wondered about those poor guards, waiting on lonely mountain tops. I loved this - it was written with such beautiful economy and the repetition at the beginning and end show that this guard is one link in that vital chain. Perfect! Author Reply: I think the beacon guards must have lived very lonely lives. Thank you for mentioning the repetition - it was very deliberate, and seems to have worked! | |

| I love the further images of flowers and petals within this one, Jay. Beautiful! Author Reply: I was hoping to continue the floral image throughout the series, but it didn't work out. I'm glad you liked this, though! | |

| Yes! Someone has finally written a piece about those lonely men on the mountaintops between Rohan and Gondor. I've often thought about writing something about the vigil they keep and how it must have felt when at long last the time finally came to light the beacon. Shaking hands indeed! Well done. Author Reply: I've sometimes wondered about the beacon guards - was it an honoured position, handed down from father to son, or was it a punishment duty and a chance of redemption? It must have been strange and terrifying when the time came to act. | |

| Love the repetition at the beginning and the end-- it shows quite well this man is just a link in the chain. But at the same time, he's vital. Loved it. Author Reply: Thanks - yes, the repetition was important to show the chain of beacons continuing. To be a beacon guard must have been a dull, lonely job - all that waiting! | |
