| Of course I "meant" to review the day I read this, which (it probably goes without saying) was the same day you posted it. As always, fine work. Ah, the nightmares! So terrifying, so disturbing, so, so...so 'fetching'. Nilana is wonderful. What a caring person, and yet it's as though she hungers for so much more. A man? Some excitement? A chance to shake off, if only for a little while, the sometimes stifling bonds of her life? Can't blame her for hoping, can we? Don't much care for Gaellyn. He seems too easily irritated and suspicious. He also seems less than helpful. And finally, Strider gives them his *name*. Nilana's daughter was sweet, much like her mother. And now, what's this? Strider is going to leave? Poor Nilana. Ah well, all good things must come to an end. If he manages to stay on his feet, that is. I love the way you portray Aragorn's gratitude toward her. He doesn't say a lot (because he can't speak very easily, silly reviewer!) but the looks all say so much. Poor woman. But what a wonderfully strong woman she is, gracious despite all the gossip and the teasing she has had to put up with. I love her! And now since you have just posted the next chapter, I must move on. Thanks for sharing this marvelous tale. Author Reply: Hi viggomaniac, glad to have you with me on this story! As always, your insight is wonderful. Didn't know I put so much in it Looking forward to more reviews from you... - T. | |

| I applaud you. What an excellent chapter!!! I am so glad Aragorn got his voice back. As usual you got this reader as curious as a cat. Those nightmares Strider keeps having got me wondering. Who was he speaking Elvish to? Can I guess?? Will his dreams be explained later on? I just want to say that your writing is phenomenal. The story does not drag on..It keeps this reader interested and wanting more. Everything that Strider does is so mysterious to these people. Even when he has his voice back, he does not say much and the way he carries himself leaves everyone guessing! He is so much of an enigma..even to me!!!I love his interaction with Nelin. Everything in this story is so vivid. I am actually in the hut watching and listening!. I can't say enough of your characters!! They are so well-written. I love them. By the way..is "puking" a "middle earth" language? Can't wait to find out where he thinks he's going now. Hope he has enough strength. Until next time. Author Reply: Hi RS, oh, dear, you make me blush deeply... OK, it's obvious I like to create characters rather than taking CCs and go on with them. This story, I think, tops the others by miles - T. | |

| Strider is trying to leave already, he is barely healed. How does he think he is going to find Gollum in his current state. Looking forward to more Author Reply: Hi grumpy, well, hum, indeed that's the question. But he wouldn't be the person he is if he'd rest for some more weeks, right? - T. | |

| You have a real gift at creating original characters and portraying them as vividly as Tolkien's.I feel I have visited this village and can see it my mind's eye. I hope to have more time next week to continue. Author Reply: Hi Linda, as always it is kind of you to leave a review though you have 'first hand view' on the whole plot! - T. | |

| The concern about the stranger in their midst is very realistic, I find. This is indeed well written and enjoyable. Author Reply: Hi Larner, I do try - and my friend Mouse is always eager to point it out for me - to add some realism to such a story. Hey, yes, it's fantasy, but - as I understand the books - the comparison to the Middle Ages isn't that far-fetched. And in those days every stranger would be eyed with deep concern, even tough they saved his life. Thanks for letting me know! - T. | |

| Hi, Timmy I've been reading all your stuff for a while, but always lurking. Sorry for that. Anyway, I just had to break my bad habit to tell you how much I like this story. I'm glad you are doing a pre-Ring Aragorn adventure! I've read "Castle" twice and (obviously) really like it, too. And I'm following "Twilight of the Gods" and am dying to know what those marks on Aragorn's neck are doing to him. Keep writing! G.A. Author Reply: *Blush* Ah, well, thanks for letting me know you like my stories. I really appreciat that you came out from your just observing position! Glad to have you with me on this one! - T. | |

| I am here and still love this! I wonder that after this, were this story will go... At last they know his name. But that doesn't help them much. I truly like Nelin. She is such a sweet girl with her touching, funny or simply cute questions...:o) I pitied Nilana so much... :o( She is a kind woman. I have to admit that I like this three characters the best. Thought I didn't mention the third one, I think you can guess. ;o) I eagerly wait for the next chapter! Author Reply: Hi Laerien, well, the story will cover some miles, so to say. Glad you like the OCs. Yeah, the third one should be the reason for reading this, hum? LOL - T. | |
