| What a great chapter. You did such a great job of showing us Halbarad and Denlad's concern about Aragorn that even though I knew he was safe, even if hurt, I was very anxious not about him, but about the those poor guys. I was really glad when they found out that at least their worst fears were not true, and that Aragorn was still alive. I wouldn't want to be on Aragorn's skin when they catch up with him, hopefully on chapter four, though knowing you I shouldn't count on that. *g* Can't wait to see what's going to happen to Aragorn on chapter 3. Nothing dire, I hope. Though again, I shouldn't count on that. *g* Author Reply: Thank, Estelcontar! I'm taking a bit of a risk, doing the story this way - swinging back and forth from Aragorn's POV to the Rangers' - but I did want to show both sides of the problem. Hopefully the fact that the reader knows what happened won't detract from the tension of Halbarad and Denlad not knowing what's happened. And there are always pesky plot twists to throw in. *g* Thanks for the review! | |

| A warrior would certainly have more than his share of wounds. But why the Southron--here? Author Reply: I'm sure that's what they're wondering! Thanks for the review! | |

| Oh, what a suspenseful chase! It's interesting to accompany skilled Rangers as they track someone. Halbarad has wonderful instincts. "Hobbit habbits", LOL. :D Author Reply: Thank you, shirebound! I figured that some "hobbit habits" might have rubbed off on the Rangers... I don't see how you can lurk around the edges of that community for so long and not pick up a few things. Glad you found this chapter interesting--it was kind of difficult to write, to make sure it wasn't just a bunch of "Is he there?" "Nope, not here. There?" "Nuh huh. How about by that tree?" "Nope. How about under that rock? You got anything?" "Nah. I got nothin'. 'cept a slug and two rolie-polies and half an earthworm..." (which is about how the first draft looked...) Thanks again for the review! | |

| Cairistiona: So glad that you are posting again, I have read the two chapters today and I feel like I'm greeting old friens, after the first chapter I was asking myself where the rest of the gang was, and in this chapter, two of thema re chasing after their troublemaker chieftain. Looking foraward for more updates. Thanks Author Reply: Hello, Fantasia! Yes, the gang's all here... or at least Denlad and Halbarad. Troublemaker chieftain is an apt description! I'm so glad you're enjoying this new story, and that you remembered Denlad from At Hope's Edge. The others will make cameos later on, but this story will focus on Aragorn, Halbarad, and Denlad. And of course Ferdinand Took. Hope you enjoy the rest, and thanks for the review! | |
