The Unquenchable Light  by Virtuella 1 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 10 on 2/13/2025
(I too am wont to bite into a blueberry tart with gusto.)

Ah. I might surmise that "second Sauron" = Saruman. But even Gandalf didn't realize it until he was made a prisoner ... and ... I see I was right! Not sure who “Aiwendil” is. Procrastination is Olórin’s domain? Perhaps I'm part wizard then, not just mostly hobbit.

Uh-oh. Will a palantír work near the Unquenchable Light? Or might it have some detrimental effect on the Light? Reading on... Who's Mallor? (I'm starting to feel like the transit supervisor in While You Were Sleeping. "Lucy! They've got doctors for this!")

Even without sound, the two are pretty shrewd in working things out.

Whew. Glad Jarin didn't get caught.

Uh-oh. Either someone/thing is watching over the Archseraph's son, or "the game is afoot" as a famous detective was fond of saying.

The storm sounds unnatural, like the one on Caradhras not that long after this point on the timeline. And the dragon disappeared! O no! But the dwarves must be warned!

Author Reply: Aiwendil = Radagast

[ Procrastination is Olórin’s domain? ] Absolutely. First suspects that the ring Bilbo found is the One Ring when he first hears the full story off it; doesn't take action until 70-odd years later. Tells Frodo to leave in a hurry, and by that he means in five months' time. Happy to let everyone have a two month holiday in Rivendell.

Mallor is one of Aragorn's ancestors, one who was king around the time the istari arrived in Middle-earth, so I reckoned the Blue Wizards might have met him.

(I'm starting to feel like the transit supervisor in While You Were Sleeping. "Lucy! They've got doctors for this!") Oh, I love that movie, and he was so funny.
