| "Be careful. Have a good life wherever it is Gandalf is taking you.” The child was sniffing every few words. “I hope you end up with a very nice cave and a lovely large hoard.” Awwwww. :) Author Reply: Pippin is a very tender hearted lad, as we well know. Thank you so much, shirbound :-) | |

| Somehow missed the Chapter 12 posting and just now read it. Truthfully, I have been concerned over Yew's situation, as dragons are not seen favorably in most of Middle Earth - but leave it to Gandalf to come up with a perfect solution. I am now envisioning Yew as the sire of the many wonderful, helpful dragons of the cultures of our Far East! Author Reply: That is the plan. :-) Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Ainariel! :-) | |

| Something dark was coming. A quick vision of a mighty dragon tortured and in chains flitted through his mind as the gate opened and closed. I really wonder what Yew is up to! He's a dragon. And dragons love gold rings! However, the vision he had should make him suspicious. AND there is the deal with Gandalf... Author Reply: The gold did catch his attention, but he is also very sensitive to the presence of the evil that created his kind, and after all, Sauron is merely a slave of Morgoth who created the dragons. So I don't think this golden ring will tempt him. Basically, I think Yew is looking out for himself. Thank you so much, Andrea, for keeping up with this story and for commenting! :-) | |

| Bilbo was talking like a dragon defending its hoard That's a great analogy. It's wonderful to see another chapter of this delightful tale. Author Reply: Thank you so much, m'dear shirebound. :-) I'm glad you've been enjoying it. | |

| “Humph! Because I am young? Because I am small? I am most knowledgeable.” Yew puffed up, looking ready to blast the wizard at any moment. LOL! Absolutely like Pippin! So, Gandalf and Yew have a contract now. That sounds promising. But I still wonder about the "offspring" part. Arrangements? I'm curious to find out what exactly Gandalf means by that. Author Reply: Glad you like the similarities between young Hobbit and young Dragon. :-) I'm not sure I'll end up going into those arrangements, or if I do it will be very minimal. For several reasons I'm trying my best to get this story finished and don't really wish to add things too it that weren't in my original plans - and this wasn't. One of those things that popped up while writing that now I wish hadn't. We'll see how things go. Thank you so much, Andrea for hanging in there with this story. :-) | |

| What a delightful chapter! I just love this conversation, and I just love Yew. Author Reply: Oh! Thank you so very much, m'dear shirebound! :-) | |

| What a wonderful solution. Yew can earn his hord instead of killing for it. He'll have a home, respect, honor and whealth. Now, everyone just have to survive Pippin possibly unleashing Yew on the Party. Author Reply: It will be a much preferable way to set himself up as a proper dragon. That would be something Pip would try . . . Thank you, Garnet! :-) | |

| Somehow I missed posting a review when this was posted. Oh dear. Pippin certainly is planning something risky, I think. Frodo's reaction to having to write an invitation for Yew was interesting. Yew could have quite a feast where he's going if the people are ignorant of dragons. Hmmm. | |

| Ah--most wonderful to see Yew growing in physical and spiritual stature! Hurray! Author Reply: Thank you, Larner. :-) Yes, he is beginning to come into his own. | |

| Well, at first I was a little confused. But then I read this: As usual, Pippin had started somewhere in the middle of his tale. And everything was clear again. LOL! The ideas Pippin comes up with, are sometimes amazing - but always logical! Of course, Yew waits for an invitation. And now he will get one in Gold! Wonderful! But what are Gandalf's plans? I'm looking forward to reading more! Author Reply: Yes, the dear lad (and many children for that matter) usually starts part way into his thoughts. I'm glad all became clear. More will be coming, just not sure when. Thank you so much, Andrea! | |
