The Blessing by Pearl Took
Larner · 12 April 2007 · Chapter 1: Challenges
So, nerve damage is indeed possible. And Aragorn is right--this is more than enough to be getting on with right now. Poor Hobbit--Pippin is going to be in for a time of it.

Yes, it is. They all will have a lot to handle soon. Glad to see you Larner!

A blessing needed. Spinal cord damage?

Hi Larner! Well . . . You'll soon see ;-)

“Sleep well now and awake when you will. You have no duty to attend other than the welfare of your friends.” What a wonderful beginning, Pearl and Golden! I'm certain that Merry (and Sam as well) will be the best medicine Frodo and Pippin could ever have... along with a kind yet determined healer-King, and a certain compassionate apprentice.

Thank you, shirebound! We're hoping so. Rough times are ahead and we're all eager to see how our hobbits handle them.

Oh, this is continuing wonderfully. Pippin's difficulties are very different than those imagined by most authors. I see Golden's touch, I do believe. Now, I want to know what strider isn't telling Merry. Now I'm going to be franticly checking SOA for updates. I'm completely hooked.

Mwahahaha! That is part of my evil plan! Somethings are more interesting if they are secrets to be discovered, I think. Yes, Golden's touches are good ones, she is great to work with :-) I don't know if I'll be able to produce new chapters fast enough! Thank you so very much, dear Garnet :-)

For all the skill Aragorn possesses as a healer, there are some things even he can't do. It must have pained him greatly to have to tell Merry that Pippin might never be the same again. I'm curious as to what it was that Aragorn left out of his description of Pippin's injuries - he obviously found something else wrong, but is reluctant to tell Merry.
Author's reply
That will remain quiet for a while yet, but all will eventually be revealed. Life often has difficulties that never go away and that is what Golden and I wanted to explore. Thank you, Telpethoron!

I spotted this when I was browsing the SoA main page, and thought I'd drop by to take a look. This is shaping up to be a good story - it makes sense to me that Pippin would have possibly suffered more injury than Tolkien let on. Off to read the next chapter - and looking forward to more!

Welcome Telpethoron and thank you for deciding to give this a try :-) I had always wondered about it as well and was very glad that Golden asked if anyone was interested in helping her with it.
