| Ah! The PERFECT ending, with Kadar's grandson accepting the offer of peace, and Aragorn going to greet Kadar once more. YES! A wonderful story this has proved! Author Reply: Thank you very much for all your reviews, Larner! I'm glad you liked the story! I didn't have time to read your answers to the prompts because writing this story took most of it, but I'm going to read them now =) | |

| Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your story, however the ending could be seen as a start to a whole new story.Hugs Deb Author Reply: Thank you very much! There is a saying, I'm not sure if it exists also in English, but it says that one should stop in the best. I think that's the case of this story. I have many other story ideas, and I want to give some space also to them, so the ending of this one is a free space for imagination. | |

| It has been such a pleasure, often a suspenseful one, to come to SOA each evening to find another chapter. I am in awe of how well you have spun the story at the same time as following the prompts. Thank you so much. Author Reply: Thank you for the review! I imagine it was even more suspenful when you came in the evening and the chapter wasn't there ;) March was quite busy for me, so I'm glad I was able to catch up with the prompts and post the last chapter yesterday. | |

| Wonderful epilogue, Mirach. :))))) But you do understand that the readers want the sequel, don't you? *sweet puppy look* And you mustn't refuse. :D Author Reply: Aaaah, you're making it hard, but I'm trying to resist. As I've already said to the previous reviewers, I wanted to leave the meeting that to the imagination of the readers. I find it better to end the story in expectation than with another leavetaking that would have to follow the meeting. Just imagine how you would like it to look like, and I'm sure you will be very close to what I would write - it's quite predictable: the initial surprise, a lot of talking and remembering... ;) Also, I was quite proud that I managed to fit the story exactly into the 31 chapters. So please don't make those puppy eyes on me... *covers under the bed* | |

| Excellent story and well done in the time limit. I am going to miss it. How about an April epilogue of the meeting of the two old friends. I do appreciate your work.

| Wow! That was simply amazing. I love how you used the prompts yet kept the story flowing all the way through. And more than anything, I wish we could see the meeting with Kadar! Well done! Author Reply: Thank you very much! I was also amazed how the prompts added a new dimension to the story =) And I'm sure you can imagine the meeting. You know, the initial surprise, then a lot of talking and remembering... I wanted to leave that to the imagination of the readers.

| Ah, perfect ending! I love how you wove the elements of enmity and friendship from "Thorongil's" time in Harad with "King Elessar's" battle with Harad. I'll love to sit and imagine how King Elessar's visit will go with his old friend, and how wide Kadar's eyes will be when he realizes he saved the life of a King. I very much enjoyed this story--it's amazing to me how you were able to so quickly adjust to and accommodate the prompts. Very well done! Author Reply: Thank you very much for all reviews, Cairistiona! It was exactly my intention to leave the meeting with Kadar to the imagination of the reades. There will certainly be a lot of talking and remembering, and I like to imagine it too. I was also surprised that I was able to keep the storyline through all prompts. It was actually easier than I imagined in the beginning (as a person who usually plans her stories carefully before even beginning to write...). I really enjoyed the writing of this story! | |

| I just loved all the twists and turns you created. Favourite parts were the woman at the inn, the menace of the tower and Kadar's change of heart and kindness towards Aragorn. Author Reply: Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the story! It's nice that neither the woman nor the tower would be there without the prompts - it was really a great source of inspiration. Only Kadar's change of heart I planned since the beginning ;) | |

| Aww, this is so nice! :) I am glad they found mutual understanding and respect. Yes, March is over, but you can write another story about them. ;) Perhaps your muses will tell you that the two meet again? :) Author Reply: Well, the last day of March is today, so there will be an epilogue still - perhaps they will meet there again. And I'm glad you liked the (maybe?) unexpected friendship. | |

| I am glad that the two of the part friends. A wonderful series to date. Author Reply: Thank you very much! I enjoyed writing the story, pity that March is almost over... | |
