And the sacrifices were blest, and well blest and fulfilled in the end.
Wonderful!

Wonderful, is it, how a blessing and a knowledge of willing sacrifices could bring a man through great perils to victory?... Although, it is not always a full victory, in Tolkien's universe. And with the knowledge of what people have sacrificed for a person or a course, the winning seems all the more meaningful...
Thank you for reading and reviewing, Larner, and I am sorry that I could only reply now... :embarrassed:

As I told you before, I found this a moving and perceptive story with a quite interesting take on Erestor's past, and I really enjoyed the fact that you didn't spell out the whole story, but just gave us a few fugitive glimpses necessary to make your story work.
It got one of my votes.

I am sorry that you had to review twise (here and in FFN)... Well, that is, if you did because I had not replied. I still smiled, reading your review, even now. Well, at least I continue to entertain people with my stories, although I nearly never win the monthly contest. LOL And it was a kind of wonder to me that you said I put in just enough information in the piece. Infodump is one of my weaknesses. (Have I told you that in my other reply? I have forgotten it.)
Anyway, again, thank you for reading and reviewing (and voting for me in Teitho.) All are very much appreciated.

A very powerful piece. I loved it when I first read it at Teitho and fully enjoyed it the second time here.

Wow. LOL Your review still brought me to smile even now, after months have lapsed... Thank you very much, RS. I am glad this piece entertained you even after several readings. Much honoured that it was so. Truthfully, I did not think much of this when I was writing it; kind of viewed it as a pile of scraps fitted together, in fact. I do not know if I told you this before in my reply in FFN or not... Have forgotten. But anyway, thank you for your review here in this site. :)
