| Kill him off - don't you dare. I reckon that scout will find him! Anyway all this suffering will make Eomer a better warrior and king. Look forward to the next. LBJ Author Reply: Hi Sidonie, sorry for disappearing for so long! My muse has been very busy with other things this year (so far), and I'M afraid I'm making slow progress. I hope you're still with me though. Best wishes for this year's Mefas!! :-) Cheers, Katzilla | |

| Phew! *sits back to catch her breath* I'm with Eomer - I would not have turned back - the whole eored definitely seems to be against him - though we know the men were just stupid - not defending him... And now this... I'm glad he warned his comrades, but it surely gave his place away... And the river does not seem hospitable. Great tension in your writing - I do so love having the hair on the back of neck stand up! Yikes again..... | |

| Good job we know he lives to fight another day! Very exciting. LBJ Author Reply: Yeah, well, but perhaps this will be another AU...? ;o) | |

| OK - this is going to be one of THOSE stories.... where my heart is going to be in my throat the entire time - wondering and worrying for Eomer...... *heavy sigh* Well - if I must, I must. GREAT chapter! Author Reply: Ahem... I suppose most of my stories are THOSE kind of stories, as I am not known to be especially nice to my heroes (one in particular, LOL), but no doubt you already know that. So stay tuned for further mayhem in nightly Firien Forest... Cheers, Katzilla | |

| Gods, I'm just terrified, it will be a long night for Eomer and a long wait for us to find out, please update soon...it reminding one of the scenes form you previous story, when he was exiled form Rohan and he is on the cave and the Uruk find him and they fight... Well, he has a hot temper and a lot of pride, but I guess that he will learn a hard lesson after this...I just wanted to hit that scout, so bad, he should be discipline for what he did, it is not right, not only because is an abuse of authority on a sixteen years old recruit, but also, as you said, he is from the royal family, the second in line for succession... The writing is amazing; I can see the forest, the storm, the darkness and feel Eomer's despair. Thank for your update, I was missing your story, again, update soon, you cannot let us in suspense for so long... Author Reply: Hi Fantasia, and thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm sorry it takes me a while these days to update, but RL has really been insistant these past months, and my muse doesn't like stress very much and always gets cranky when I try to rush her. I'm glad to read that you're still enjoying the story and hope that you like the new chapter, although it is a rather short one. I just felt it was getting too long... Best, Katzilla | |

| You've hooked me again...after 'Banishment' I swore off works "in progress", but couldn't stay away! I love the character development - you present a very believable young Eomer! And his interaction with the Mearas - wonderful! A quick note, though, on Thunderbolts' treatment - swollen/inflamed flesh should never be sutured - it runs the risk of deeper infection if the wound were not completely cleaned out (as the outer flesh can heal before the inner, which prevents the wound from draining properly) Love it! Author Reply: Wheehew, that makes me feel very special! ;-) Thank you, I'm glad to hear that I succeeded in baiting you again. And if it helps, I promise to finish this story, too (as long as I don't get run over by a car, that is). I'm happy to hear that you find my Éomer beliebable, because I'm a bit on a quest against "Raging Bull Éomer", who seems to be a common feature in many fanfics I've managed to find. To be honest - I had originally planned for his meeting with Thunderbolt to be quite different, but then it hit me that of course, his royal blood had to be the reason for his "special" horsemensship. Thank you for your advice re. the stallion's treatment, I will put it right as soon as I've go the chance. Looking forward to hearing from you again, thanks a lot for your comments, Katzilla | |

| All I can say is yikes! The story, as the day did, turned from a joy-filled, beautiful thing into a harrowing event. Poor Eomer! Sticklebats! Author Reply: LOL! I'm sorry for being so mean to the poor lad and causing my readers such anxiety (you're not the only one who wanted to rip her hair out over this chapter!). I don't know what got into me, sometimes, those horrible ideas just hit me from out of the blue... ;-) | |

| Well, a thunderstorm indeed! Eomer couldn't hold his temper after all, but who can blame him. He is a 16 years old recruit learning to be a warrior and just has found out the circumstances about his father death. Now, Arnhelm supposed to be a experienced warrior, and he had shown less self control than Eomer, he is the one that should be removed from the Eored, his hate is eating him and he is not thinking properly, it is wrong and he should be punish for that. Eomer leaving in the middle of the storm, with no sword? no good. I think that King Theoden will no be happy with him and Arnhelm. To be honest, I wanted to punch that guy, hard...it is wrong what he is doing and someone has to take actions to stop the madness. Really, I think that Eomer wasn’t that bad, I could have been less restrained, I feel so bad for him. Thanks and keep posting. Author Reply: Hi Fantasia, how wonderful to hear from you again! No, poor Éomer certainly stood no chance against an experienced warrior who was intent on getting him ejected from the éored... but let's wait and see what Elfhelm has to say to all of this. The poor man certainly has his hands full in this story (doesn't he always?). Something tells me he still got an ace in his sleeves... So, the son of Eomund is all alone in a forest he knows nothing about, and without his sword... let's see what we can make of this situation... ;-) Thank you so much for your always valued comments! :-) | |

| Oh dear, hot headed as usual. Now where is he off to! Nice detail in this story. LBJ PS - A word missing here - “You told him what my problem with his father was, Elfhelm, didn’t you? I saw you talking with our recruit last night… as if you didn’t me to see you.” Author Reply: Hi Sidonie, thanks for catching this; I already corrected it. :-) Yeah, young Éomer still has a lot to learn until he will become 3rd Marshal... but one could hardly expect him to remain calm under these circumstances, right? :-) Thanks for your comment! | |
