Alas for Frodo who had to endure a much more trial than a physical battle. But how true that he also had the strength to fight the battle. What we owe him...

Namarie, God Bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Yes, Frodo had that strength in spades--although it was his mercy that stood him in his best stead. Thanks so, Antane.

So that's where Gandalf made his fireworks. And why not? Anything is possibel in Tolkiens' world.

(P.S. I have been unable to click onto "Shirrings" because I keep getting a URL problem prompt.

Author Reply: Yes, that's at least one of the places where I suspect Gandalf made his fireworks. I'd think that a Dwarf would be glad to learn secrets from Gandalf in the making of such things and the possible uses of blasting powders.

As for Stirring Rings, you have to go to the main page for Stories of Arda and click into the story there. Messages sent to you indicate a dummy chapter I have to add and then delete in order to make the story rise to the top of the list each time I edit one of the chapters and reveal it, which I'm doing once a week. This is a story I'm reworking, you see, and in order not to lose all of the read counts and comments from its first release I hid the chapters as they were first written and am editing and publishing them anew. Once I get through all of the chapters that were published before, then the notices will reference the new chapters as they are posted.

You know that I love it when we getto see things through Gandalf'seyes and to have Eonwe there is a bonus. Lovely start to my day.

Author Reply: I'm so very glad you feel that way, Harrowcat! And I enjoyed finding Eonwe desired to make an entrance in this one! Heh!

Finally someone has addressed the issue of where Gandalf made his fireworks! And how logical that it should be among the dwarves. I am imagining Gandalf's legacy in a series of dwarven fireworks displays.... Perhaps they will volunteer to put on a show for the future King, when he comes north.

And besides that, who should show up but Eönwë -- with portents of the Quest and indications that Manwë is already closely watching! *sighs with satisfaction*

Author Reply: I suspect that there were a few different places where Gandalf worked on such things, but it only makes sense to me that he'd find welcome from some Dwarves for such projects. And the idea that the Dwarves might make some of their own is certainly a proper one! I'll have to suggest this to Gimli, perhaps, and see if he'll agree to sponsor one some day! Heh!

And I was surprised and honored that Eonwe decided to make an appearance in this story. Glad that you appreciate it!
