The Healer's Journey  by Linda Hoyland 17 Review(s)

Excellent--his first foray upon his own, and not only did he succeed, but he was revealed as the King Returned in it! And Aunt Inzilbeth is relieved to have both restored to awareness, I am certain.

Aha--the child begins to show forth his gift, and it is recognized and will be properly trained! And how appropriate that he should use an argument such as this! Heh!

Halbarad raised his head from his pillows and looked at him. His eyes were full of the love he bore his kinsman and also a mixture of wonder and fear. "My lord!" he whispered. "How did you find me?"

Oh, that was wonderful. What a marvelous and powerful chapter. *beams*

Part one was great--truly imaginative, both in having precocious Estel accidentally end up in a healing trance and in Gilraen's skillful deflections of Estel's questions about the line of kings (without actually lying!). I look forward to seeing you continue this!

I really like this glimpse of how Estel could have discovered his healing abilities. It's very plausible to me that he might accidentally find himself in a healing trance the way you've show him--what a scary experience for a youngster!

Linda, I really loved this story of yours. I think it is indeed my favourite of all your stories. You've done a great job of showing Aragorn's growth into a healer.

I very much enjoy reading this look back at young Estel, and how his abilities may have been discovered and developed.
