Absolutely wonderful!! A powerful ending to a powerful story. Thank you so very much.

Author Reply: Thank you, Pearl. I appreciate your encouragement. This was a complicated, difficult tale to visualize and verbalize, and your appreciation and enthusiasm for the tale helped keep me going.

Wow. A truly amazing story, Budgie. You've given a whole new twist to the Oathbreakers, and who was waiting at Erech for Aragorn to come.

“Thank you,” the wraith said to Aragorn. “If it is within your power, lord, do not delay in your coming. We will wait, as we must. This time, we will honor the return of the king.”

Amazing. You never fail to astonish me with your imagination.

Author Reply: Don't you love how LotRs gives us so many openings for our own imaginations to play? A simple phrase, a word, a little detail mentioned once and never again. What odd twist of mind makes us wonder what happened to Gandalf's cart, or the belts given Merry and Pippin in Lothlorien? I sit back and marvel - and enjoy.
