That's a neat plan Frecern and Wulfgarn have, but I think they underestimate the stability of Gondor and Rohan as they overestimate their own ability to fill the void they mean to create. Still, it is quite credible for such a plot to brew among those unhappy hill people.

Good for the kids, being smart enough to bring their warning, and good for Legolas, just being a gentleman. It just goes to show that it never hurts to be polite to everyone you meet. I'm really enjoying this tale. ~TF


Author Reply: Well he really is the flower of chivalry - our fav. elf. To be humble and considerate seems to come to him as easily as being brave and heroic. sigh.
Mean baddies, aye? But you never can please all the people all the time and some rebellion seems inevitable, no matter how ill founded or ill fated.
Glad you continue to be entertained.

Frecern needs a serious lesson in.....something. Perhaps a simple beheading would benefit his personality! (Isn't he the guy that was betrothed to the smith's daughter and acted like such a jerk to her, and then Gimli got in trouble and became a troll's pet...he caused all manner of mischief and there's more to come from this turkey?!)

I was seriously worried that the explosives and the rebels would cause some very bad problems for Aragorn and Legolas and the dwarfs, but thank goodness for those two kids! "His beauty still shocked her but she had no time for her heart's fancies this morn." *sigh* Nice line - strong girl!

Also, very nice interlude with Arwen; she seems much calmer, and at ease...wonder how Thranduil will affect her peace of mind?:-) Well done - can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: Ohh I do love Frecern, he is such a satisfying baddy to write! In fact he keeps eluding all the sticky ends I plot for him, wretched man! (Yes he is the same bad guy)
I am glad you like the kids, and my take on the elusive Arwen.
More soon

I was really alarmed when I read about all the traitors that were present in the garrison. I could picture just disastrous chaos, with the Dunlendings called to the moot, gunpowder spread around, and traitors in positions where they are invisible even when present. It took me a minute to register that the brother and sister were so vital here. But then I was enormously relieved.

Author Reply: Yes I was relieved when they turned up too I am in the habit of getting my characters into dire situations with little idea of just how I am going to get them out again - I am very glad when the muses gallop to the rescue!

Wow! This was a great chapter. You've done some research and it shows.
I especially admire the commands Aragorn spoke. How fitting. You're a great
story teller. Of course, the beauty of Legolas was the high point for me, but the children are so cute!

Author Reply: I wish I was a storyteller. Mostly it feels like I pull my plot out of the great story stream with all the difficulty of pulling gum out of hair!
I am glad you like my efforts, and thank you for your kind words.
