The cavalry is not supposed to turn away once it's served against the enemy. Now, to find their brother! They have to realize he's not far away from them!

At least Earendil is wanting peace for this son of his heart.

Author Reply: The cavalry apparently didn't read those instructions. If they would know... but they do not. *sigh*

But hope is still there, because of who Aragorn is - he can't abandon hope, even when all hope for life died. There is still hope for peace...

Oh sob! No, no, no! Wonderful as your description of Valinor is, he can't go there yet! I can't believe the twins missed him! You are certainly keeping the surprises coming, Mirach.

Author Reply: That was not a pleasant surprise, I imagine: I felt so bad to crush the hopes that today the rescue will come when posting this chapter... Now we need a more pleasant surprise, don't you think? ;)

The sound you have just heard is my head, pounding against the keyboard.

Augh!!! The twins missed him!!!! Good heavens.

But it does make for wonderful Earendil angsting... that last paragraph, with his wish for dreams to take Aragorn to all the most beautiful places on Arda was so moving; I loved it.

But still... get those twins turned around! I don't think I can take much more of this....

*runs to hug poor Aragorn and give him blankets and hot tea. And a leg splint.*

Author Reply: Ah, do I feel intimidation from the tune of your voice? Tell it to the twins, it's them who missed him, not me! *hides behind Elrond*

But it seems to me that I'm on the best way to kill my readers - some heart attacks were already reported... *g* So be careful with banging your head against solid surfaces! =)

Thank you for the review, I'm glad that you liked the paragraph - I have a habit to bring myself to tears when I write, and this was such a place, so I'm glad that it was not in vain =)

Oh gosh - even though I know he is going to survive I have a lump in my throat right now.

Author Reply: There you have an adventage before Earendil - he doesn't know that there is no "character death" warning in the summary... Thank you very much for the review!
