*snort/snicker*!!! Puff-puff!!! LMAO! Oh boy, that's one of the reasons I own dogs, not cats, haha!

Makes ya wonder how they became Dark Lords to begin with, LOL!

Cool chapter, love it! :-)

Author Reply: Hm...I do believe being trapped in a Void would mess with one's mind...

Thanks!

LOL! I have to say, this is a very interesting fic! A well mixed blend of humor and drama, more than enough to make it worth going to my favorites! :-D *eyes stare at the pony* Poor Saruman. Stuck as a horse. *Snicker* *ahem* I do hope you update soon, I can't wait to read the rest! :-D

Author Reply: Wow, I'm honored that you consider it worthy to go on your favorites. Haha, if you liked Saruman as a pony, you will love chapter 9! Well, you are in luck, I just updated! So, the next chapter is up. I look forward to hearing from you. :D

Im here im here!! Hahaha xD I missed your update on chapter 6 (starting school and having TONS of assignment has something to do with it).

Hahaha turning the city black? I assume that by this it means the walls will be black and stuff? hahahaha hilarious.

I'm torn, i want the Dark Lords to carry on (i've grown very fond of them) but i dont want them to harm Eldarion, he's so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. Now i have the boy of the movie stuck in my head (do you also?) every time i read your story.

I absolutely loved the "soldier" scene when he says good bye. I thought it was very touching, very "happy, loving" family-like, which is a great thing.

Now i will bug you with two things: first, Arwen seems to have remained "elvish" (ie, percieving this, and Aragorn calling her so) even though she became mortal? This is interesting, as I have always wondered how you "feel" after you chose to become mortal. Could you maybe, explain to me how you view it? (you dont need to do it in the story, i feel this explanation would be rather out of place for the action).
and the second thing: in this last chapter, Eldarion is really behaving like an older child. like 5 or so. but that's ok, really, and haha im no expert about children, anyway

continueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
dont despair about having so few reviews. i wrote a story, and only got 10 reviews :( so i sort of stopped writing. you could also post on ff.net, but its so full of silly ppl writing silly things... i dont know where you would post 4th age stuff though
:)


Author Reply: Well, the city black pretty much means that the sky is black, therefore the city is dark as a dark room, rendering its occupants pretty much blind, akin to the darkness that crept over Minas Tirith before the battle of Pellenor fields. Sauron repeating himself.

All right, so to answer your question about Arwen, yes, I have never had reason to think that when she became mortal, she ceased to be elvish. Actually, I think that it is even more painful for her to remain elvish, as she can sadly look at the passing years, so few to elves, yet her time is as short as that of all men; now. I do not think that she would cease to be elvish merely because she would now die an early death. I think she would feel the same, yet sad, as the short years of men, which before she only experienced when people she knew died, were now hers.

No, I believe Eldarion is acting perfectly for his age. Thank you for asking! I am a Sunday school teacher to 3 years olds, and I babysit one at least once a week. They are much more mature than they are given credit for. Now, if Eldarion were 2, that would be a different story. :) Actually, I believe that a child of 5 years would be more articulate, not so afraid, nor manipualte in the same way as a 3 year old. :D

Thank you so much for your helpful comments. I'm trying to get started on chapter 8, expect it in about a week to two weeks.

I love your story so far. The way they mention those happenings in the Silmarilion is a nice touch in the story's humor.

Author Reply: Thanks so much for the reivew! It is much appreciated. Yes, I thought that the bringing up of old wounds would be, shall we say, painful to our dark lords. Happy reading!

Hey! sorry it took me so long to review! but i am following this story, i really like it!!! Your dark lords are so funny, I cant explain, it sort of makes sense they would act like that, :)!
Eldarion is cute! Silly Arwen, unaware of her son's manipulations, but then again, most parents are!! hehehe!! >:)


Author Reply: That's ok! Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Yup, power corrupts the dark lords, and they have trouble getting along.

More Eldarion is coming up. I finally posted Chapter 6 today, and there is a nice bit about unaware Arwen and manipulating Eldarion.

Thank so much for your reviews!

For some reason, Eldarion's block thoughts struck me as hilarious. I'm still giggling over them. OOoh, that kaniving (um, is that how you spell it?) little monster! On one hand, Melkor (or shall I call him Melki) is attempting to take over the world, and on the other, little Eldarion already has... ;)

Author Reply: I never thought of it that way...thanks Bryn. :) Yes, just wait until they kidnap him! :o They truly have no idea what they are getting themselves into... And just for you, (Ok, fine, my amusement as well), we shall continue to reveal more of Eldarion's thoughts to take over the world.

BTW, thanks for the review. I was beginning to feel very sorry for myself over having no reviews. :) Thank you for bringning me back from that awful fate. :D

I must go read latest chapter of "Cantrip," and you must update Marinas Stiria soon!

Merry Christmas to you!

Author Reply: Chapter 6 is up now. :D

Author Reply: Thanks! I have continued.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, too much, too much! *lol* You can't end the story there! What happens to The Man, The Nose, and The Fat Pony? I loved how the chants back-fired on each. :)

I would love to see Saruman hitched up to a cart. *ponders* You could bring Asfaloth and Shadowfax into the picture... maybe Arod, Hasufel, Roheryn... (why were there no famous female horses, I wonder?)

Whistling nose, indeed! They've got a regular circus act going. A Ringed circus of sorts, terrible as that sounds. Depending on what Age it is, perhaps they could form a plot to perform in Rivendell (under Lord Elrond or E2) or in Gondor.
How do those, used to being feared and in possession of godly power, cope with their new situation? Melkor certainly can't go around claiming he's Melkor (whistling nose and all). He's liable to get kicked out of every tavern this side of Mordor. Geeze, even the orcs wouldn't believe him.

Melkor and his brave steed Saruman. *snort*

*lol* :)

Author Reply: Haha...see the next chapter.

Hm, I'm thinking of a little Saruman/pony romance...scary. :D

LOL. Thanks Bryn. :)

Sauron, Saruman & Melkor--together again. The Larry, Moe & Curly of ME??

Author Reply: Hm, although I didn't think of it that way, yes.

"As I recall, you were not a powerful dark lord, you were an eyeball. A big, red, glowing . . ." Hee hee! Oh, this is so funny! Reminds me of OFUM, with the dark lords arguing. Great!

Author Reply: What is OFUM? It sounds funny. :) Thanks, that was one of my favorite lines as well.
