| What an awesome POV! This is totally unique and so well done--who would have thought the POV of an inanimate object could be brought to life so well. Love it! | |

| A masterful piece; conveying the power of the blade and the skill of its makers and those who re-forged it. And kudos for your excellent research skills! Author Reply: Hi Raksha! Wow! "Masterful" is a compliment indeed, coming from an accomplished author such as yourself... Thank you! - Barbara | |

| This is very cool, ET. In a figurative sense, it also applies to Aragorn, I think. Author Reply: Hi Daw! You know, I had not really thought of it that way, but yes, indeed the renewal and tempering process does indeed describe Aragorn's life journey, too.... I am blessed to have readers that are so astute that they keep pointing out things that I hadn't realized about my own drabbles! LOL! Thank you! - Barbara | |

| Beautiful. I just love the imagery you use for the sword! Jay Author Reply: Hi Jay! Thank you! I'm very pleased with how this drabble developed... I saw a TV program recently about a sword-master making Japanese samurai swords the ancient way, and it just fascinated me.... And hey, I'll take inspiration wherever and whenever it chooses to strike! And Imhiriel's birthday request for drabbles from the PoV of things that don't normally have a voice was simply brilliant.... - Barbara | |

| A stirring experience as we are made one with the sword that Aragorn will bear to the south and east. Originally the work of Dwarven smiths, it now is made anew by the Elves--very fitting that he who is Elf- and Dwarf-friend should bear a sword that has known the skill and magic of both, bringing the third Kindred's own strength to bear in the fight against Sauron even as three others of the fourth kindred manage the actual killing stroke! Author Reply: Hi Larner, Wow! you know, I had not really thought of it from the angle of the different races that worked on Narsil... have you ever thought of writing a drabble about that? LOL! Thanks for your thoughts, Larner! I'm glad you thought the drabble was stirring.... - Barbara | |
