| Well, I no longer suspect Theoden, as he sends his son with Indis and the boys. Author Reply: I had toyed with Theoden - but then I like the man a lot - and couldn't do this to him - maybe! LOL | |

| A good plan, to have all think them in seclusion while they in fact go ahead. Author Reply: I just hope it works!!! | |

| Surrounded by treachery--how will she find out who is at fault? And I find myself even suspecting Theoden at this point! Who is it who brought about this murder? Interesting mystery here. Author Reply: Hi, Larner, I'll reply to your reviews here - I think you will just continue to love Eomund - I don't know why - he just grew in the tale and became more noble and supportive. I just love him myself! And that is a surprise. As for Indis - she is in for quite a time. Tolkien's queens in Numenor didn't seem to do very well. I hope that Indis has more sense! As for Theoden - well, one never knows, does one! LOL Very glad you are enjoying these! | |

| I can understand the frustration she feels. A woman was not accepted as a ruler in such cultures. She'll know nothing but frustration for some time. | |

| At least they are no longer trying to hide things from the boys, and Boromir is realizing it is acceptable to weep. She's done the right thing here, and I love Eomund deeply already. | |

| Heart-rending chapter; as Denethor's orphaned children learn the difference between uplifting stories and terrible truths. Small quibble - I can't see the boys referring to their father's sister as "Indis"; they are much too young for such familiarity in a culture that prizes good manners and a certain gravity, even among kin. Author Reply: Wasn't that hideous - the poor things - and yet, how else could Indis tell them? They were so aware of the land's history of violence... it broke my heart! As for what the children call her - I was stumped by this - Aunt sounded so 'modern' that I didn't know what to do. So I took the easy way out and just left them calling her by name. ANY suggestions would be most welcome! Agape PS - thanks for reading and responding! Author Reply: Hi,Raksha, A friend finally came up with a good term of endearment for Indis - so I have changed the chapters affected. Hope this works for you. It does for me. | |

| It will be interesting to see the three women seize power in this way. Although it does sound as if this would be a good time for Thorongil to return South once more. She will need aid, and it would give Aragorn a good chance to build his power base for when he takes the Winged Crown. Author Reply: Hmmm, Larner, I hadn't thought about Thorongil coming into the picture - but why not? We'll see what happens. A turn of events will take us completely away where the tale should have gone... but we will come back to Indis soon! Thanks so much for reading and responding! Agape | |

| So Indis puts the hammer down - good for her. I can see her as Boromir's regent; though I'm not sure that others in Gondor would concur, at least not immediately. Would you consider having a list of your OC's, as well as your Elvish words and phrases in a special chapter, that you could update occasionally/at will? Author Reply: Your wish is my command.... I like that - puts the hammer down - yep! Describes my girl well. Agape | |
