That was beautiful!

It needed a hobbit song to awake the earth itself and add power to the protection against the Ringwraiths. And Pippin was perfect for the job :-)

What a lovely idea - the sheltering Elven song, strengthened by the hobbit's song of their land in that way - absolutely beautiful.

Author Reply: Thank you, glad you like it.

Oh, this is so wonderful!
I never thought of this event this way, but now that you wrote it - yes, it makes perfect sense that the songs of the elves served as protection from the nazgul. And it also makes a lot of sense that hobbit-song helps in protection, too; after all, they are the ones who are really connected to that land.
Beautifully written.

Author Reply: Thank you. Somehow, I thought there had to be more to it than just a bit of sing-song...

Oh how perfect this is! I always thought that Gildor was not nearly so aloof as he appeared to be.

I love the way the Elves use song and starlight to keep the Ringwraiths at bay. I love the fact that they were alerted to the trouble by that random fox! *grin* and I adore Pippin waking during the singing and knowing right off that there's a problem.

And the song was beautiful! That is truly a hobbit song of the Shire! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!

Author Reply: Thank you. I've always thought the hobbits get away from the Nazgul far too easily. The Nazgul are really awfully easy to beat...

How wonderful to hear from you again--it has been a time! And what a wonderful thing--to use the voice and song of a Hobbit to augment their own power and so keep the Nazgul at bay! Perfect!

Author Reply: Thank you. I think a song about bramble pie would really upset a Nazgul, hehehe.

What a lovely story! It explains such a lot about this mysterious encounter with the Elves.

Author Reply: Thank you. I felt it needed a bit of fleshing out. ;-)

Great storytelling and a wonderful explanation of why the elves didn't stay until the hobbits woke. Thank you for sharing.

Author Reply: Thank you. As I wrote, I found various things that needed an explanation.

Truly lovely story. I loved the way the earthy joys of the hobbit song wove into the songs of the Elves.

Author Reply: Thank you. I love meself a hobbit song. ;-)
