Thank you

And there he stood, Éomer son of Éomund, thirty years old, taller than most, wiser than many, well and truly a king.

I am not ashamed to admit that this line brought tears to my eyes. It takes a truly great man to know that he's wrong, admit he's wrong and take steps to correct himself.

What an excellent, thoughtful, and beautifully-written story. I have read it all this morning and really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing it. (And I hope the young wolf prospered with his little pack and was never caught for stealing the (very occasional) sheep!)

Author Reply: Thank you, I am so glad you liked it. You might also enjoy "Passing Grace" which features minor OCs from the Deoric-verse.

A great epilogue to a fascinating story! I love Deoric's pride as he paints his self-portrait (nice touch in patterning it after Durer's self-portrait); and the message from his Dunlending friend. Peace can yield friendship between former enemies; and prosperity of course benefits everyone. And Deoric's little girls acquiring a new grandfather who is not quite actual but definitely beloved seems very appropriate...

Author Reply: Thanks, Raksha, I'm always glad when you approve. :D
I'm a bit of a Dürer fangirl, so I couldn't resist...

Worthy, worthy, worthy! How wonderful a man he has grown to be, now that he has given over regret to appreciate what he and others can do! And I love that the chrysalis was sent to him. Bless Lunet!

A most worthy tale indeed!

Author Reply: Thank you, I'm so glad you approve of the story.

I have really enjoyed this story, and I'm glad the painting got done eventually.

Author Reply: So am I! Thank you for the review. ;-)

Aww... it's over! *sigh*

I have really enjoyed this tale! I do hope that it won't be the end of Deoric-- that we will, perhaps see him again once in a while!

I'd love to see the tale of his visit to the sea! Did Fana go with him? The children?

You have really brought him to life for me, and I have to say, he's one of my favorite non-hobbit OCs, joining SurgicalSteel's Serinde and Larner's Ruvemir as Original Characters who seem to me to be very nearly canonical.



Author Reply: Thanks! I confess I feel I am done with Deoric, though the scenario you suggest is one that has also appealed to me. Perhaps at some point in the future, it will tempt me.

What a great story! I really enjoyed each chapter.
The final words are incredible. Congratulations for this wonderful inspirational tale.

Author Reply: Thanks! I wasn't too sure about the last paragraph and thought it was maybe to preachy, but I wanted to link back to the beginning.

What a lovely, and fitting, last chapter to a wonderful story of the Mark. It has given me so much pleasure to read, thank you.

Author Reply: Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed this story. :)

Ah, yes, joy! Such a perfect answer to the question! And I'm glad they had the company they did at table.

A lovely wedding indeed!

Author Reply: Thank you! Who'd not enjoy a wedding!
