DenethorReviewed Chapter: 1 on 9/8/2013
Lady Linda of the United Kingdom is it?Why didn't Faramir lecture this man on not paying attention to detail? I wouldn't have mistaken a cat's tail for a snake. And what is the celebration for Faramir's birthday? Why is THAT...Ranger there?


Gandalf: Do not be trouble with my lady. The steward is still upset he did not get the throne.

Denethor: Mithrandir, I do not believe your interruption is welcome.

ForestRanger: Perhaps if you wrote a short story about the Steward returning after years of being thought dead or (actually dead)and changing his ways and accepting he will never be king he will shut up. And maybe he will change his attitude about Faramir.

Denethor: Accept that I am not king!

Gandalf: I think I rather like the idea. Your thoughts lady Linda?

Aragorn: I agree. I never gave Denethor cause to hate me and I would like to see him in a story written by you. I think you have the ability to produce a well written story.

Author Reply: Yes, my Lord Steward, I hail from a shire in the United Kingdom. Faramir had no desire to make Tuor feel any worse than he did already. The King is his dearest friend and always comes to his birthday parties.

Aragorn, Gandalf and ForestRanger it is good to see you here too. Have you read "Kingdom of Ashes", my account of the Lord Steward's rivalry with the then Captain Thorongil?

What a fun story! "Endowed with a magnificent stripy tail" indeed. I love it when 'the lighter side' of Middle-earth can be shown.

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I'm pleased you enjoyed this light hearted tale or should I say tail? It was inspired by Leo!
