Love this chapter so much. After all these years, i'm revisiting this fic because i do wonder what would happen if Frodo himself was brought to Barad-dur.

What, no more yet?!! I have been on the edge of my seat since chapter one! This is really good. I have always wondered what happened to Frodo in Cirith Ungol! I like that he told the mouth he was a brandybuck, not entirely a lie!
Keep it up!
Elanor : )

Poor Frodo. The MoS has done put a collar and chain on him,like a dog. I can't imagin what the Fellowship members will say when they see their friend like this! Acutually, I can't wait to see what they will say when the MoS does get Frodo to the Black Gate. Please, oh please write more soon! Pretty Pwease :(

Wow! I just admire Frodo's courage! Despite the horrible situation he was in, he used all his wits to convice Sauron's mouth, that he's not the Ringbearer. Apparently, he succeded. And now he believes, he's going to his death and he manages to do so with his head held high.

Frodo's attempt to recall his good memories from the Shire, leaving him only with the bad ones, was very vivid - up to the iron collar with the chain, that reminded him of farmer Maggot's dogs.

I think Sauron's Mouth is bringing him to the Black Gates now? I'm curious to know, what will happen next.

Great story! Keep on writing and take your time, this story is worth waiting for :)

Please write more!!! This is such a good story(though I feel terribly sorry for the Ring-Bearer, I want to know how this is going to end). Keep the writing coming!!! :D

omigosh--the torture is horrible! :*( i think i rather have beatings than hot stones and the stretching machine. eeek~!! :*( tears indeed for poor Frodo. =(

But you had Frodo ever so clever and it was funny that you mentioned this line: "Frodo just mentally rolled his eyes at that. Orcs were unbelievably stupid. Telling a prisoner they were bound to die was the last way to acquire information."
hehe sounds like something you would think too. :P

i really like the fact that you worked on the Elizabethan English that MoS had to say..very credible and wonderful detail.

no more Frodo torture please? =( i was so scared to read this chapter just because of that... awww poor Frodo :*( but it's cool that you didn't linger on describing the pain ...that would be very sad and probably will up the ratings a bit. Frodo was very brave throughout it all though...interesting for you to say that he was anticipating being captured and rehearsed a story to say. Very interesting detail.

Author Reply: I might do just a tad more Frodo torture. In connection to the part in Ch.3 when Sauron says to "question" Frodo regarding the sword from the Barrow Downs. But I will certainly tone it down. And the walk to the Black Gate certainly won't be a casual "walk" but no added torture there.

I figured if Frodo's planning on going into an Orc-infested place the possibility of capture had to occur to him and he would never want to betray his friends.

As for the Elizabethan English? I did it myself in chapter three, but I can't take credit for it in this time around, sorry to say. I recruited FrodoBaggins88 for that and she did it for me over AIM. I did some of it and would ask her if I had gotten it right and then turned the whole thing over to her in the end. I was trying to finish it that night and "translating" to Old English at 2 am isn't something my brain appreciates.

Thank you for reading...this chapter especially.

You know, I had written the title of this down a while back as a story I wanted to read and for some reason never got around to it, but...

OMG! Poor Frodo! So determined not to let anything slip.
Your descriptions are so vivid. I especially like your MoS. I'd never thought about his skin being burned like that due to the proximity of the eye. Really creepy. Hope you can update soon.

Author Reply: As I always say "Better late than never." I really hadn't though of the burning skin part until I was finishing this up. I sort of avoided his description for a while and then figured I couldn't avoid it anymore and it was one of those things that "just occurred to me" and I'm glad it did. I love extra detailed descriptions like that.

I usually don't "update soon" but as this is vacation time I'll do my best.

Author Reply: Ah, a bukcket of cold water. Just what I needed. *grabs a towel* Yep, my friend gave me some great ideas, then I realized they weren't consistent with Tolkien's framework and thus, this story again took a back seat on my agenda. But I'll get to it soon, school permitting of course. Thanks again.
