The Shadow in the Past  by Itarille 2 Review(s)

“Which son? The question came to Denethor’s mind, but he did not say it, for does it matter which of your sons was doomed to fall in battle? “
Good question, and interesting it was Faramir, not Boromir. But I guess Finduilas did always like Faramir better.

Author Reply: I imagined Finduilas herself was not sure whether her vision showed Boromir or Faramir.
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

This is a beautifully-written tale, a true love story.

We have no doubt all wished for greater foresight in our lives, but under such a growing shadow would it bring anything but heartache?

Author Reply: Shirebound,
You always have a genuinely nice thing to say. Thank you for leaving a review!

Yes, knowing too much is not always good. Though I believe that foresight came from the Valar, and had a purpose.
