| As always, I enjoyed the chapter, it is a great story; all your stories are good. Just one comment, you never mention the healer's son that got kill trying to reach Eomer with the weapons. Don't you think that Eowyn and Eomer should thank his parents as they did with her maid? I recall that the healer was in another story, well now I'm not sure if your story or the ones that you co-author with Timmy2222, sometimes I get confuse with the two of you, because you use the same characters. And fix your other fic and don not kill Eothian, I like him. I'm waiting for more fics from you, I always read them, it's just that I'm very lazy and don't review too much. Thanks, Fantasia Author Reply: Hi Fantasia, and thank you so very much for letting me know your thoughts; it is much appreciated. :-) I very much like your suggestion re. Élric's parents, although I don't think they would want to be rewarded when their son has died. But I will definitely mention it when I polish the story. Well, yes, Timmy2222 and I are two different people; she used to be an avid Aragorn-Lover while I fancied my horse-lords, and so we decided to work together for a few stories, but these days, we're going our separate waysa again. Yálanda was indeed in "Twilight of the Gods". I always like to use personnel from my previous stories (provided I didn't kill them off ;-)). Thanks for coming out of lurking for your review, and I hope that perhaps, I will hear from you again. :-) Cheers, Katzilla | |

| Well, I wait with baited breath to see how you are going to get Eowyn fit enough to ride.*grins* Coming to the end! - you must have mixed feelings - a story becomes a friend. Thanks for writing. LBJ Author Reply: It will definitely be weird, although I suppose this story is a long way from finished! There's some substantial re-writing to be done and also a hell of a lot of beta-work... if only I could find a beta. :-( But I do understand that now one would like to tackle this epic, even if it were only for a few chapters. *sigh* Oh, and yup, I will of course use a trick to get Éowyn in riding shape... ;-) Stay tunes, and thanks for your thoughts! Best, Katja | |

| An excellent chapter. It definitely must have been difficult for brother and sister to share the tale of what had gone before. Neither wanting to bring the sorrow and horror to the forefront and yet having to share... but how much? Oh my! As for the reasons why they both suffered... Eowyn's heart is pure, is it not? Very nicely done with her character. And Eomer's is still broken and bleeding. I loved their quarrel, if one can love a quarrel. I loved his introspection. I firmly believe in Eomer's good character and expect him to reconcile with his liege and his uncle... it will be difficult. As will the funeral. It still breaks my heart - the warriors who died. Again wonderful chapter. Author Reply: I'm sure the truth will trickly out between the lines; they know each other too well. And yeah, Éowyn's heart is very pure, and it is difficult for her to stand between her uncle and her brother. It is also difficult for éomer to hate his uncle, he knows he's wrong, but of course he has also very valid reasons for feeling the way he does. Who said that life was easy, LOL! ;-) | |

| Excellent chapter. I very much liked Merry and Eomer's discourse. I can't wait to see what happens next. | |

| Excellent chapter, as always. I very much liked Eomer's discourse with Eothain - I think it had to help him too - perhaps he will remember his own words next time he sees his King. As for Merry - VERY glad you brought the dear lad into this! Author Reply: Hi again, and once more a big THANK YOU! for your latest review! :-) I'm glad you liked the discussion, as I pretty much busted my braincells to come up with an idea of how to conduct it. I agree, Éomer would do well remembering his own words when he deals with Théoden... perhaps he will see the light of day before this story ends, I am not yet decided about this. And Merry was an unexpected pleasure to write + he really complements Éowyn; those two are very good together. Looking forward to hearing from you again, Katja | |

| Looks like Eomer and Eothain will finally make it up - and Eowyn - priming Merry up already, bless her! LBJ Author Reply: Hi Sidonie, yes, I decided that I did not want for the two friends to carry their quarrel into battle, knowing that in all likelihood,they will not survive. As for Éowyn: I think she really needs someone to talk to (as she won't burden her brother with those horrible dreams), and Merry as well, so in a way, those two are perfect for each other. I am not usually interested in the hobbits, but they do have a tendency to comfort my poor, ailing heroes, bless them! ;-> Cheers, Katja | |

| A difficult chapter to write - but well worth your efforts. Stunning in its sorrow and joy, tension and friendship! Author Reply: Hi Agape, oh yeah, that was definitely the hardest chapter of them all! It never happened to me before that I had to discard 10 pages I had already written, because they were not going in the right direction. Hopefull, it won't happen to me again on this story. There are still a few difficult discussions to write, so... :-o I'm glad to hear you liked it though. :-) Cheers, Katzilla | |

| Very nice, you seem to be on a collision course with the canon. *grins* I like your Eomer - but then I like most Eomers!LBJ Author Reply: Aaw, my first review in ages! But then again, this was also my first chapter in ages! I had infact already written about ten pages when I started to realise that the new chapter was turning out the way I wanted it to... so I had to start from scratch. Oh well, glad to see you're still there. :-) Yeah, canon is just around the corner now, although I must still find a miracle trick how to get Éowyn ready to ride with the army. Ehm... this could get rather tricky... Cheers, Katzilla | |

| That was a beautiful chapter, Katzilla.Aragorn didn't give up and Eomer trusted his new friend with retrieving his most precious posession, his brave sister Eowyn.The descriptions of the badger's den and a young Eowyn were very well done. Wonderful writing from start to finish.The siblings are reunited at last! Update soon. Ali. Author Reply: Hi Alison, sorry I was gone for so long; reasons were knee-surgery and Writer's block. I hope to have overcome it now though, because I would very much like to finish this epic of epics this year. It's time for something new! (not that I have an idea yet, but I don't doubt they'll come) Glad you liked this chapter, although I was REALLY apprehensive of approaching it at first and had to find my way just the way Aragorn did in the dark. ;-> Thanks so much for your review, and I hope you like the new chapter! Cheers, Katzilla | |

| Bravo! There are no words to say how this chapter affected me. Glorious. Well-written... I go to have a cup of tea and recover! Author Reply: Hello Agape, and also apologies to you for the delay in responding. I'm glad you liked this chapter so much; I had a pretty hard time coming up with it, to tell the truth. But now almost all's well. :-) I look forward to hearing from you again and hope I will soon be done with this. It is time to finish after 2 years of writing! Best wishes, Katzilla | |
