| My nerves are starting to twitch!!! The Easterling laughing at the Gondorians for their cowardice??? GRRRRRRRRR!!!!. If I can get my hands on them....... And Ridasha is starting to irritate me.. Does she really think they will they will succeed?? OK,(ten deep breaths). I know the outcome of this whole fic but you are starting to get me worried!!! I am so pleased that Arwen has a more physical and authoritative role here. And why shouldn't she?? Is she not the queen? Is it not her duty in the absence of the King? I love her take charge attitude. "...your concern, my prince, is the whole land with its entire people. If the king falls it will be for the sake of his kingdom". Those words must have broken Arwen's heart. How brave of her. Poor Faramir. He did the right thing (just like Aragorn would have wanted). "But let me assure you, that I will not accept King Elessar's death unless there is no other option to throw back the enemy". Well no wonder my nerves are shot!! With a cliff hanger like that?? Very intense chapter. I LOVE IT!!! And as for your inquiry on the word "twitterpated". Forgive me, I mispelled it the first time. The definition that I use is the flighty, exciting feeling you get when you think about/see the object of your affection. The ever increasing ecceleration of heart beat and body temperature as the result of being romantically excited. You know, like the first time I met my husband or seeing Strider...I mean Viggo!!! It was used in Disney's BAMBI, the owl said, "the birds gettin' all twitterpated!" Hope that helped.. Will be waiting for the next chapter! Author Reply: That helped very much! Thanks. *author adds it to personal dictionary.* Yes, Arwen's role should be more than just being a beautiful decoration. She's not Eowyn, that's not her part, but she is more than just a 'wife'. Why should the Easterlings not think of victory? Harishdane's whole scheme did work out perfectly! And the people are desparate enough to believe in everything for their own sake of survival. - T. | |

| You know, after reading this chapter I had to tell you before going on with my rambling review. I am so glad that you are writing. You have such an amazing talent. You know how to get a hold of your readers and have them want more. You know how to convey your characters feelings and it transfers on to the reader. Your story lines are never boring.. I love the subject of Aragorn, but more so with Arwen. But though your stories are mostly of Aragorn, you add enough of Arwen in there to satisfy this reader. The way you write their feelings toward each other just leave me twitterpaited. I really don't like some of the so called "fluff" that I sometimes read on other fics. And your fics are not fluff. Believe me. Great action, angst (boy, can you write that) and just enough romance!! I am so thrilled that I have discovered your fanfics!!! Anyway..back to the review. I'm not sure if I like this version better or the original. They are both great!!! Of course I love the fact that Arwen has a more physical role in this one. So she rode ahead of the Rohirrim!! What lies ahead for her?? I love the fact that Eomer wanted to comfort her. I hope Aragorn revealing himself to Ridasha does not backfire!! She sure is determined to get her people land..no matter how they get it!! Seems like she's becoming a little bit to sure and cocky. Is she going to become on of the "bad guys"? And my feelings for Harishdane and Asentis are both the same. I still want to beat them up!!! MORE, MORE, MORE!! PS..Don't know if you have Thanksgiving where you live. If you did, hope you had a wonderful one!! Author Reply: Good Lord, RS, do you know what happens to me when praised too much? My head might blow up and I can't wear a hat anymore. Imagine that in these cold winter days! -- OK, just kidding. My way to say thanks for such a wonderful review. *author clears throat* You might be so kind as to explain the word "twitterpaited" for me. I couldn't find it in my dictionary and it sounds like a word I want to know! The little "twist" wasn't intended to be 'better'. It was just my mind on overdrive thinking that there were others solutions possible... And you might think of even more than I came up with! We don't have Thanksgiving around here (Germany), but since there are many 'fashions' coming from the US I suppose, it's just a matter of time *g* - T. | |

| Wow. Absolutely brilliant chapter. I'd leave a longer review, but it is late and I need to get to bed. One thing. Did you get my email? I sent it quite a few days ago... around Tues or Wed, I think. I would still like to keep in touch with you :) Author Reply: Don't worry, Laire, I'll stay in touch. *hug* - T. | |

| Oh goodness! You have literally made my day. This is most wonderful. An alternate ending? With an even more evil and effective Hardishane? You mean I get more chances to have her be the villain I love to hate? Honestly, woman, you have my heart a'palpitatin'! I don't suppose being told you're wonderful wears thin, does it? (Oh, BTW, I ALMOST forgot -- wonderful chapter, although truthfully, I'm going to go back and re-read chapter 30 of 'Twilight of the Gods' to get a better idea of what was happening at that point). Thank you for this most pleasant surprise. I posted a note about this over at the Aragorn Angst Yahoo Group and on my Profile Page at FF.Net so hopefully, you'll get even more readers who have yet to discover your classic stories. (Now, now, Timmy, don't let your head get too swollen from all this gushing praise. Winter's coming and you want a hat that fits)! Thanks. Oh, I may have said that already. Author Reply: What hat?? Since you started writing reviews, Viggomaniac, there's no stetson, base cap or woolly hat ever fitting. Imagine my cold ears now, it's winter over here!! Anyway, thanks for placing advertisements! - T. | |

| Yeehaw!!!! Just when I thought it was over (much to my chagrin)..We now have an extended version with a different twist!! I am delighted!!! I LIKE IT!!. My old feelings are coming back again regarding the villain that I love to hate (you know who). I think she got away easy in the first version. Can we at least inflict some pain on her during the trek to Rhun?? Is that me talking?? Pardon me, she just brings out the evil in me!! Atta girl Arwen!!! I knew it was hard for her to just sit idly by and wait for her man!!! I love her determination. So Harishdane thinks the elves have forgotten about middle earth and other races that they will give her a pass to just simply waltz through their neighborhood!! Hope she gets a surprise!!! Simply loving this. Cannot wait for the next update! Author Reply: Hi RS, love to entertain you a little further with this *smile* Harishdane is a villain to hate, so put all your enery in it and be a happy camper the rest of the day! But you wouldn't want her wasted on the trek, ey? There has to be more than that and will be. - T. | |

| *blinks* WHOA! Wow! Wowowowowowowow! Look at *that*! Oh man, this is brilliant! Woohoo! You don't need a beta. This was bloody awesome! *dances around happily* Yesyesyes!!! woo! Author Reply: Hi Ainu Laire, ooh, what shall I say? Glad to make you dance *grins happily* - T. | |

| Very good twist to the story. Makes me dislike Harrishdane even more, is that possible. Plus hope that the elves will somehow pop out the the woods, maybe a ent or two, to the rescue. Author Reply: Hi Grumpy and welcome to the little *twist*. And, yes, go ahead and warm up to hating Harishdane. You'll have all reason you need *author grins malevolently*. - T. | |
