Cal, as I told you before, this is a most moving and poignant vignette in which you managed to capture with feeling in a few words the essence of Aragorn.

Congratulations

The child was the promise of the man to come; the man holds the echo of the child who was, and who still is Hope embodied.

Excellent POV.

What I like is your ability to sum up a fic perfectly in one line. :) Glad you liked this.

Thanks for reading!

He comes back to me with deeper hurts, his eyes full of tears—not for himself, but for others.

What a beautiful line. It really sums up Aragorn's character, and the kind of King he will be.

Author Reply:
I dearly love Aragorn and all his wonderful qualities, but it was terribly hard to sum up his early years with the word limit. It took me a day to come up with this line, and three days to write this ficlet, despite the fact it's only 500 words. For something that started out as a poem, it grew into something bigger.

Thanks for reviewing.
