Gaergath, Son of Sauron  by Armariel 14 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 13 on 12/14/2010
Quite a confrontation between the boy and his alleged father. Not the type of father I'd want!

Author Reply: Nor I! But Gaergath hasn't much choice in the matter....

And I guess we both know Sauron isn't going to do a Darth Vader in the end.......

So, he's managed to get the horse taken care of, and now intends to investigate the one who calls herself his mother? But he's already deeply into her world now.

Not exactly the kind of behavior I'd wish to see from my kid, of course. But she approves? Not that her behavior is what I'd wish to see from my mother!

Author Reply: She's not likely to win any Mother of the Year awards, is she? And it seems there's a bit of Evil Superman in Gaergath already......

He has indeed lost himself to the light now. Too bad he didn't leave when given the chance.

Is this life truly worth it?

Author Reply: Maybe not...but someone needs to do away with her! And I'm not even entirely sure yet that he's going to be the one to do it. Or how he's going to do it. Or even if anybody is going to do it. Who knows? We'll just see!

He is a foolish young man, isn't he? Has a lot to learn.

Author Reply: Yes...but who is going to teach him?

At least she cares what becomes of him, and would have him go free. Too bad he chose not to.

Author Reply: Yes, but he is very intent on revenge, and on doing something out of the ordinary. Sort of "Hamlet meets Wally Cleaver" maybe...or Eddie Haskell...or a synthesis of the two? Something like that......

A good question!

Author Reply: A lot of the old vampire movies feature a "keeper" so I thought to supply mine with one too. Sure, why not? At least it will give Gaergath someone to talk to in the daytime and supply some information.

And he has sold himself to her, apparently.

Author Reply: Yes.....I guess he's sort of Greenjade's opposite number, Greenjade starting out as a bad guy and turning good, while Gaergath is a good guy (relatively) who goes bad. I think of him as a rather ordinary young boy who is sadly lacking guidance and self-control, with the natural narcissism and self-centeredness of youth, and his inevitable descent into the dark side could happen to pretty nearly anybody. It's a challenge writing about someone who you know is not going to be redeemed, but an interesting one. Thanks for commenting Larner!

Foolish boy! Now he's for it!
