I agree this story needed a closure (and I am looking forward to more about Thorongils whereabouts after having left Gondor behind...)

Great idea to decide for THAT price! I´ve never been aware of the full history of this particular item! One can truly imagine the torture in having to part with a piece invaluable like that.

Thanks for coming back to the old man in reminding us that there will remain hope to find pure integrity and a kind heart even among enemies, always. I also appreciate, you allow Thorongil to reflect on his own part in a gruel history between two very different people.There is always two sides to a medal...

And, NO - I am NOT going to lament this time, about what you put your main character through ;-)))... getting used to it finally... :-)
Just hope for more (well - challenges, not necessarily suffering) ...

This moving and powerful story has haunted me since I first read it.

How interesting! I would love to know more about how Aragorn stops going south and ends up heading north again. At this rate he will simply end up circumnavigating middle earth!

Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, he eventually accomplished what he sought out to do and turned north again. Maybe I'll write that one someday; it's an intriguing idea.

I nearly missed this completion. I am so glad I saw it. The original story was excellent, but the additional chapter raises it to outstanding. It really teaches why Aragorn wanted to make a lasting peace after the war. Thank you.

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I've always found it very telling that he sued for peace with Harad, but not with Rhun. I'm delighted you liked this piece.
