The Shipwright Shrugs  by Kitt Otter 2 Review(s)

I'd never taken thought that Elrond, Galadriel, and Cirdan might have not pushed the advice to destroy the One Ring in order to sustain the powers of the three Rings they held. Definitely food for thought! And it is good to know that Legolas and Gimli came to Cirdan for advice at the end.

Author Reply: I’ve never been satisfied with Elrond’s abridged version at the Council. Complicated things, Rings!

I was eager to get to the end of this conversation and confirm who the visitors were, and wasn't disappointed. This is a marvelous, perceptive piece, and no doubt Cirdan has given much thought to all of these matters.

In time it became a burden. I felt young, too young, and too old... It had a fire, a demanding one!

That's so interesting.

Author Reply: Thanks, Shirebound, this came out of a lot of thought. I had meant to give the visitors some dialogue, but they were happier to stay silent! :)
