Aragorn straightened to his full height, which before the Great Eagle seemed little enough. “I ask that you bear our thanks to the Valar, and ask that Manwë offer it further to Iluvatar Himself,” he said. “We can ask no more, and rejoice that you have agreed to do as you have done already.”

“For such a petition, and one which we of the Aeries of the Misty Mountains also supported, it was no labor, son of Eärendil, Elros, and Elendil the Faithful,” Gwaihir responded. “And your response is already known--I have no need to bear it anywhere.”


Oh, how beautiful. What joy Aragorn must feel, knowing that Frodo at last has a choice -- where before, he had none.

Author Reply: Yes, he has reason to rejoice. And I think Gwaihir would have been delighted to deliver such a message.
