My Sword Weeps - Book Two - 'My Sword' Series  by Agape4Gondor 2 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 15 on 1/4/2007
Apparently I've managed to miss a chapter or two. Now to catch up. How did they end up being attacked by wolves? Aragorn, Elrohir, and Elladan--you are needed over here!

Author Reply: They thought they were safe - the wolves migrated from the druadan forest - nasty little things!

And Aragorn is lolly gagging around in the Mark.

Scary fight w/wolves! Makes me think that Indis is a very tall and physically strong woman; since I think the wolves of Tolkien's Middle-earth are more vicious and deadly (to humans) than RL lupines.

Yikes, what's happened to Beregond's father?

Author Reply: Sorry about Beregond - Minas Tirith likes to have family using many of the same names from what I gather... Baranor is a retired Captain in Gondor's armies... perhaps an uncle???

As for the wolves... well, these are not wargs, thankfully - but yes, Indis is a physically strong woman, as she has trained for years with sword, and she is tall - she is sister to Denethor and pure Numenorean. I think she could handle herself for a moment or two... she was lucky to have found the dirk else she would have been wolf fodder.

Thanks for reading - Faramir, by the way, is still alive many chapters from now.

Author Reply: Hi, Raksha,

I take all my reader's notes to heart - the same for yours. And I was concerned that you were 'pulled' from the tale by the wolves...

So - I met with a few LOTR writers and we discussed this situation. All thought that Indis could, for a VERY short time, defend herself against the wolf.
