Light from the West  by Armariel 2 Review(s)

So, it WILL be Alcandor for Aredhel after all! And there are a few gentle moments between the laughter that make it worthwhile.

Frodo's own time for joy comes closer as well.

Author Reply: I suppose the central idea of the story was expressed in this chapter, about how the light of Truth must be kept shining if peace and freedom are to endure. Even a paradise could fall if the truth is forgotten or corrupted, surely. Eru isn't done with Frodo yet!

"In order for it to remain blessed, the Light of Truth must be kept burning. And that Light depends on what you have done, and the knowledge of it. For it was you who lit the Beacon, Iorhael. Yes. Did you never wonder why the light came back when you appeared at the Tower? It came from you. And it is because of your story that it will continue to shine even after you have gone. For if it goes out, the Island will be plunged into eternal twilight once more, I think. But if you can go along just a little more and finish the story, the Light will remain and the Island will be safe forevermore.”

Safe. So the fate of the Blessed Realm depended on me too?

I can just hear him groan, but what a beautiful thought of his light shining in the West.


'He looked at me with his eyes! I'm in LOVE!'”

I have a picture in a heart-shaped frame at work with that lovely face and he does look like he's looking right at you - I don't think I'm in love though, but something much deeper.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)




Author Reply: Hmmmm, sounds like love to me;);) and what could be deeper?

I forget who said "Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it" but I thought it could hold true even in the BR. And who was it that said "The truth will make you free"? (Yes, yes, I know:D) He may have groaned a bit at the first, but one day he'll be proud and joyful that he played such a part in keeping the land free and safe. (Who wouldn't be?)
