That was really good fun. Possibly enhanced by Arwen's similarity to my sister as we await my niece's wedding in September...

Author Reply: Thanks, and I hope you'll enjoy that upcoming wedding!

No, not a stag *hunt*.

Bwahaha!! What a delightful read, and on a day I truly needed a delightful read. *huge grin*

Utterly gorgeous, lyrical and poetic!

High above all this preside the mountains, snowcapped and serene. These, surely, remain in their frozen silence? But no, even here a sudden thaw transforms what was rigid and harsh. The ibex clambers on rocks shiny with meltwater. Small, starry flowers cling to the crannies. The peaks raise their voices. They call to the young and the stout-hearted, who tighten their bootlaces and set off on narrow paths, up, up and further up till the air feels thin and the heart is pounding. Why would they exert themselves like this, why risks their limbs, their very lives to reach the summit?

Beautiful!

Very nice word-picture of Middle-earth stretching and rejoicing in the absence of Sauron and the return of Gondor's king. Love the descriptions. Truly lovely!

Author Reply: Thank you. You know I like a good description. ;-)

How wonderful! And that last line gave me chills.

Author Reply: Thanks, glad you found it effective.

You paint such beautiful, detailed pictures, infused with hope and joy and promise, emphasizing the things that might easily be overlooked, individual notes of a song that taken together swell to a magnificent symphony.

(sorry, mixed my metaphors...)

Thanks for such a heart-lifting pause in my day!

Author Reply: Thank you. This was enjoyable to write.
