| Uh-oh. Wasnior is figuring out exactly how he lost the war. And so soon afterwards, when things with the King are still not yet certain. This does not bode well. Author Reply: Yet, for whom it bodes worse is also not yet certain. After all, Aragorn has a great deal more personal knowledge of affairs in Umbar than Wasnior has of affairs in Gondor. Thanks so much for the feedback. | |

| Dorath grunted, “And the Perian with the dark hair is apparently a magician of some great power, for he led the other who sat by the King into Mordor itself, hiding the both of them, to come to the Mountain of Orodruin and cast into it the Dread Lord’s Ring.” “He has not about him the look of any great magic,” commented Angrapain, dismissively. “Then how could he have brought the two of them into the Black Land, much less through it?” demanded Dorath. “Only great power could have brought them to Mount Doom unseen. Or did he draw on the power of the Ring Itself to get them there?” “Nonsense,” Wasnior said, shaking his head. “Had he used the power of the Ring, would he have been able to let it go to throw it into the Fire?” The five of them looked from one to the other with uncertainty and discomfort. The idea of having sufficient power within oneself to withstand the desire to use the power inherent in Sauron’s Ring was a new one, and all were uncertain they’d wish to meet with the Ringbearer alone. *snork* I love it. Think of it, these powerful Men, afraid of a hobbit. Of course, they'd have good reason to be, but not quite for the reasons they *think*. Powerful magician? *giggle* Author Reply: Well, what else are those who are totally unaccustomed to Hobbits going to think in such a situation, do you think? So glad it gave you a giggle or two. | |
