Danger in Ithilien  by Linda Hoyland 34 Review(s)
MarianelReviewed Chapter: 4 on 9/30/2015
Poor sweet Faramir!😢 I can see the gentle Steward before my eyes so hurt.This was an emotional chapter indeed and so wellwritten as is the whole story.So much fear and pain it must have been for Faramir out in the forest. Sure hope Legolas finds the miscreants and release some of his elvish wrath upon them just like his willful father King.Let quail a little Linda!
Its heartwarming to see the mens relation, theyre like son and father. Looking forward to next chapter.

"My feelings are as strong as yours, and stronger, but I cannot be ruled by how I feel. All we can do is to try to follow the path of goodness ourselves and fight against evil."
How well said by Aragorn. But i can also feel the frustration that Eowyn has. I wonder if she would strike out herself if she found the lowly thugs who did this.
Nice contrast of thoughts of how to deal with the thugs from Aragorn and Eowyn.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed this. I would not give the thugs much chance of survival if they were in the same room as Eowyn!

As always, your quote at the top of your chapter perfectly summarizes the story. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good". Faramir of all people most exemplifies that teaching. He would have been the first to tell his wife, his King and friend, and all of his loyal soldiers that if they were to sink to doing the same things to the Ruffians, they would themselves become like them. I am, as before, very impressed with how much Eowyn has grown since the willful, lost girl who left her responsibility to rule her people, seeking instead death with the Riders. She is setting a strong example for Elbeth on how to do one's duty even when your heart would do otherwise. I had to laugh a little, though. As Eowyn worked out some of her stress on the poor carrots, I took back my comment about what Legolas's Woodelves might have wanted to do. With out her husband's influence for good, I would have been more afraid of a distraught Shield Maiden! I also liked Aragorn's counsel to the frightened young soldier. He said exactly what Faramir himself would have. It was good to see Beregond looking out for the welfare of both the Prince he now serves, and the King who gave him back his life. But what now? "Come quickly" might not be good!

How difficult to feel such fury and to know that one must not fall as a result of such anger! But Aragorn, of course, is right. And Eowyn must remain apart from her beloved husband just as she wants to assure herself he is safe and on the road to recovery, and she, too, must fight the tendency toward vengeance when she knows that is not right.

I love the h/c in this chapter. Poor Faramir! But great healing by Aragorn. :D I liked the details about the different herbs and medical practices. He really needs to get better soon!
Can't believe those ruffians were so cruel. I hope they are caught soon too!

This is really good and so entertaining and suspenseful. I loved all the chapters but i'm so glad for Aragorn to finally find Faramir!

Author Reply: THank you. I'm pleased you are enjoying this story.

Faramir is seriously dehydrated!

(Perhaps Elessar ought to have the men brew some salty broth for him to drink.)

I am glad the Healer King has determined that the wounds are not mortal.

I hope Legolas has no trouble finding the Men, subduing them, and bringing them to Minas Tirith.

(Yay, more Beregond! Was glad to see him.)

Wow! Perhaps not out of danger yet, and a lot of work to do. But there is hope for him now. I suspect that after several years of living in the colony near Faramir, Legolas has become friends with Faramir and Eowyn as well as with Aragorn. Tracking down the miscreants would be personal for him. It is reassuring for them, I think, that Legolas promised that when they were caught he would take them to Minas Tirith. Does that mean there is a greater chance they will still be ALIVE to face the King's justice? Many writers have written about Wood Elves's ideas of vengeance and justice. I would not like to have been those men if the Elves had been left to their own customs! I always like to read your descriptions of Aragorn's healings. They are especially good when he heals Faramir, or someone else that he cares for. I will continue to watch for more!
By the way, while I have you "on the line" as it were. I hope that you, and all of our writers who have been with Stories of Arda for so many years, have let their next of kin or friends know how to notify your beta or the site if we lose you! After the departure of dear Arthur "Fiondil" this year, I have been thinking how much many of my favorite authors would be missed!

After suffering such tortures I rejoice that Faramir now knows the healing ministrations his friend the King is able to offer him.

Whew, I can finally join the story! Thank you for the comfort.

Faramir’s pain ravaged features visibly relaxed. "Do not endanger yourself, " he whispered.

What an incredibly noble man. I love how you write these two.
