Larner, I'm enjoying the chapters so far. Well written, I want to keep on and then the chapter ends. Can't wait for the next installments. I will have to binge read so I feel its not ending. ;-)

thank you,

Idril


Author Reply: Sorry it will take at least a week between installments, but that's the way it's going at the moment. So much to write, and so many interferences! So glad you like what IS written, at least. Thanks so, Idril.

Really nice job on this chapter. I like the conflict that you are setting up as well as some of the quiet lessons Aragorn is teaching with the support of the older rangers. I continue to look forward to future installments of this fic.

Author Reply: And thank you so much, Matt. It couldn't have been particularly easy for Aragorn to return to his own people after living with the Elves of Imladris for so many years.

How daunting this must have been for Aragorn and how inspiring for his people. I'm enjoying this story.

Author Reply: Thanks, Linda. (Am realizing how many comments I've missed responding to in this story, and am trying to get better.)

Baerdion and Halbarad will be such a wonderful friends and guides during these first days of testing and evaluation.

Author Reply: I do think you are so right, Shirebound. And Aragorn will need their support as he finds his feet with this group, I'm certain.

Fantastic chapter! I think you are writing a very realistic picture of Aragorn's first patrol with his people. Also you are drawing very realistic young men who have much to learn about their new recruit. I am really enjoying this. Thank you.

Author Reply: I hope it is realistic, at least. It couldn't have been easy on either side, or so I'd think.

It's always good to read something by you Larner! And this, in particular calls to me because Aragorn has always been one of my favorite characters! Your stories have added so much depth and richness to him for me; and this chapter is excellent! Many thanks for posting it! :)

Author Reply: I first fell in love with Aragorn when I was thirteen years old. Here I am fifty-one years older, and the love still holds! And thank you for such a compliment!

Awwww, I love the end!

Author Reply: I so rejoice to read that, Ellynn! Thanks you so.

In fact all the others were as uncertain as Aragorn about the situation. Uncertain and wary, but that is to be expected.

The ice was broken for Aragorn when he saw the expression on the other young man's face! Is it Halbarad?

Author Reply: Aragorn would be seen by many as an untried element, I'd think. It appears a mere handful of people even knew he'd survived and been taken into safekeeping by Elrond's folk; now they must learn just what kind of individual he will prove to them.

And, yes, this is Halbarad.

This looks to be very promising indeed! I am guessing that it will soon be the chapter you wrote for the challenge!

I am also looking forward to seeing the development of Aragorn's relationships with these very characters. You've made us familiar with them in their older version; now we get to find out how they got the way they were, so to speak.

Author Reply: Yes, the next chapter is the challenge story I wrote. And it's proving interesting to investigate these people as youths themselves. Sorry to be so long responding, but this past week has been challenging.
