So many 'famous last words' in this chapter - it made my head reel! LOL - but good. Score one for the stag!

The Guards were hilarious here.I wonder who truly rules Gondor?The stag is indeed a magical one.
I'm puzzled what you mean by "for the metal plates of their normal garb ", for they would only wear armour to fight a battle.Is it elaborabe embroidery of some sort?
Poor Aragorn and Faramir, I eagerly await more.

Author Reply: I will admit that the movies affected my thought here. I was thinking, of course, of the armour that most of the guards of Minas Tirith wore. I perhaps didn't word it well, or I'm completely wrong.

Thank you for your kind review.

I loved the bargining over the numbers of guards!

Can't wait for more.

Now I'm indeed worried. It seems Aragorn and Faramir have met their match. How are they going to extricate themselves from this situation.

What a cliffhanger! I hope Aragorn and Faramir are OK!

Happy writing! Please update soon! I am really enjoying this story.

Hugs,

Yes, Tolkien does appear to have been at least partly responsive to the same influences as his friend Lewis after all, doesn't he? Smart stag--and has the King and Steward now both in a pickle! Heh!

Now, how will they get out of the river?

Absolutely delightful! Of course, there were a lot of intelligent, even talking, animals in Middle Earth. And those between Mordor and Minas Tirith would just be recovering from a lot of rough years, with Orcs and all of Saurons humans and other creatures trampling through their forests. I am sure they would have learned to be especially wary! Very well begun!
