Wonderful images, yet again a bit clumsy wording--"The Shire for the halflings are apparently not unalike the men. The elven realms for the elves shall leave." I get the feeling that the Hobbits either will be treated the same as Men and apparently will all die--or maybe not. Are the Elves leaving the Elven realms, or are the elven realms being left for the elves or are they leaving?

Sorry, but I find the wording somewhat confusing.

Author Reply: thanks again:)

The wording, well,the Shire as in Gimli feels the halflings are like men in their susceptibility to the promises of the ring. basically everone is. So is Gimli though he doens't realise it. and as far as he is concerned the elves have begun leaving so he's not bothered about them.

Nice. I assume this was to be anything AU Gimli-related?

"...they will rid it of the horses first". Heh, heh. Finally gets his wish, eh?

"...for all men are as weak as their lords who lie dead.." chilling - Aragorn, Boromir, Theoden, slain by the dwarves at Gimli's order? Ew, the ax. Think of the satisfaction he must have had at felling Legolas - unless this was later than earlier.

"The Shire, for the halflings are apparently not unalike the men." So, Frodo wasn't able to resist the ring here? Or unable to defend himself from Gimli?

Or were these Gimli's thoughts at the revealing?


Love it.

Actually the challenge was to be anything AU:o

Heh, heh. Finally gets his wish, eh?

On indeed:))

I think by the time everyone was slain, the ring had him well in it's grasp to remove any remorse! The halflings... basically yes, he emans the halflings are as prone to being tempted and at the same time as eays to cow down as the men that the dwarves will rule.
