This is an excellent story, and by the end I had tears in my eyes. I think you have captured the essence of the hobbits perfectly, in thier love for simple things and desire for peace. Pippin is in exact voice, with his fears and edge of despair and thoughts of home. But it is your message of hope in darkness, courage for a right cause, and theme of fighting when necessary to preserve innocence and light that makes this a great story. Well done.
