| Yes, Shadowfax, called to aid Bill as he can. Love the comparison of this battle to the former one, with these wolves revealed to be natural ones. And Shadowfax's recognition of Tall Hat as his chosen Rider, one who'd won his respect--that was masterful! Now, to figure out where "BACK" might be. Author Reply: Thankfully daylight removes any doubt. Hopefully it's plausible that Gandalf could reach Shadowfax's mind from so far away. I suppose, alternatively, Gandalf might have communed with Radagast, and the Brown Wizard might have conveyed Gandalf's message to the horse, either personally or through a bird courier. Thanks so much for all the lovely reviews you've left me. They're both encouraging and provide additional food for thought. (As far as "back", Bill is kind of figuring out things as he goes along, as we'll see in future chapters.) | |

| He said that all of Middle-earth owes you a great debt, my Companion says, bowing down to me for a brief moment. Oh my, what an incredible moment for Bill that he could never have imagined. I feel much relieved now! Author Reply: Since Bill didn't get all the way to Cormallen, it seemed right to give him a small "Cormallen" moment of his own. I'm glad you're feeling relieved! There are still a few ups and downs before they reach their destination, but help is at hand. Thanks! (((hugs))) | |

| Dear Lindelea How are you? My papers have just ended, (last exam ended 2 hours ago) and I'm back. It is so nice to be back, there is so much to read on SoA, and I am especially excited to follow Bill as he makes his way back home. Just dropped in to see you, I'll read and drop a longer review later. Till then Author Reply: I'm well, thanks! We are on the brink of a heat wave, but today is lovely and relatively cool and drizzly. How are you doing? I remember the relief of the last paper... the last exam... and then a break, even if it meant I'd be working full-time until the next semester began. It's good to hear from you! I'm looking forward to your impressions when you have the time. (((hugs))) | |

| Shadowfax! It was Shadowfax who saved Bill from the Wargs, wasn't it? And now, Shadowfax will guide Bill to safety--to Rivendell, perhaps, as well as eventually back to Bree. I like that! This way, Bill won't have to find his own way back, all alone. Author Reply: Exactly right! I'm glad my solution works. I have to tell you, I was so excited when I worked through the story's timeline and the Tale of Years and realized it was plausible... Thanks so much for reading and pausing to leave your thoughts! | |
