Well if they can't figure it I am guessing they will soon enough!Boy that slime never gives up does he? You went thru alot in this one chapter, I always felt sorry for Eomer with Wormtongue,but old Grima gets it in the end! Hope to see another chapter soon. Deb

This was an interesting chapter! I doubt Denethor really does know what is going to happen to Boromir. If only he listened, it could've helped, but Gondor's society is patriarchal... The actions that Faramir does in this chapter definitely are a great way to understand his character. There's something inside me that makes me doubt Boromir is going to listen to all Eomer said. Can't wait for the next update!

Well Lady Bluejay I had to laugh at the beginning of this chapter,Tinusel reminds of my mother with the way she talks, I really felt bad for Lothiriel when Denethor sent her away but maybe she would be safer far away from him, and I liked seeing the two children taken care of so well, will be waiting faithfully for the next chapter Deb

Elflingimp · 25 April 2008 · Chapter 12: Chapter 12

That was a hard chapter to read, but I'm glad I did, it made me see more of the reality of life for Eomer. I am glad the children were safe. Such a harch life for them. I'm glad Lothiriel made a friend and is not so alone.Will wait for more, Deb

I have been remiss in telling you how much I am enjoying this - I'm sorry. This chapter demanded to be read at breakneck speed - and well worth it! A couple of problems likely to pop up in the next few as a result, I fear, but I'm sure it will be an "interesting" journey. Thank you - looking forward to more :)

Elflingimp · 11 April 2008 · Chapter 11: Chapter 11

This is a powerful chapter,especially the ending,Eomer is certainly in for with Grima, Lothirial seems also to be in kind of a bad situation with Denethor, once again I can't tell you enough how much I love your stories Thankyou Deb P.S. Sorry it took me so long to review but when I first read it I was way to tired to do it justice, so I had to read it again.

Bodkin · 30 March 2008 · Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Lothiriel is very lucky - Umar must be spitting nails, but I doubt he'll be giving up any time soon. Poor horse. Not to mention the men-at-arms, of course, but they don't really have the furry factor. I hope Sergon survives to fight the slimeball off again another day. While Eomer should avoid - er - physical intimacy with Bergit. It does rather detract from his moral stand of true friendship and loyalty.

Bodkin · 30 March 2008 · Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Oh dear. Clever slimy prince. Lothiriel could never send the mare back to be slain - and he will very neatly be allowed to pretend that she is accepting his suit. The slimy prince and the slimy councillor should be put together. They have certain slimy similarities.

Bodkin · 30 March 2008 · Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Lothiriel will be lucky to be allowed outside the castle before she comes of age. And hopefully Edwick's state of mind has improved.

Lialathuveril · 25 March 2008 · Chapter 10: Chapter 10

A very exciting bit of action over the last two chapters! Loved the confrontation with Umar in the previous chapter and Lothiriel's determination to fight in this one. And the scene with the ribbons was a funny bit of needed relief. Lia

Elflingimp · 24 March 2008 · Chapter 10: Chapter 10

I feel so sorry for Lothiriel, she loved her horse even if it came from that creep Umar! I only wish she could have at least nicked him, but at least she got away. Eomers humor about the ribbons was funny, Eothain must be blind! LOL! Good chapter will wait for the next impatiently(but hey that's just me) Deb

Alquawende · 11 March 2008 · Chapter 9: Chapter 9

I can't wait for more of this! I really don't like that you had to leave this chapter off with a cliffhanger because what was happenning to Lothiriel was getting very interesting. The wedding of Meren and Erchi was very sweet. It's nice to have something happy occur in all these dark, serious events that have occurred so far in the story. How old is Lothiriel in this chapter? Eomer?

Elflingimp · 8 March 2008 · Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Augh! That was a good cliifhanger That creep! Well I guess I just have to wait, but this chapter got me so wound up I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, I am so glad the horse was loyal to her in the end, and I hope Amroth will make it there on time. I think the affair with Eomer is sad and hope her husband never will find out, as if isn't enough that he is crippled to know that would certainly be painful, anyway Great chapter!, it is always worth the wait.

I thought I had better let you know that I am still reading this and enjoying it immensely. At one stage I had to go back and read it again to get all your OCs and their relationships sorted out in my brain. I particularly enjoyed Lothiriel's sojourn with Seron. I thought for a bit that he had to be T.H. White's Merlin dropped out of another universe. He seemed so much more confident about what would happen than what had happened and Merlin, of course, was living backwards so that was his characteristic too. Anyway I think I identified him more accurately later. Another similarity, that I see in these early chapters, with The Sword in the Stone is the education/personal development of your two young protagonists. They both have natural skills and strengths which with initial youthful enthusiasm they expect to be all that is going to be necessary but through their experiences they are learning that their natural talents are not enough. They have to cope with situations where a learned response is more appropriate than a natural one and by now they are both actively seeking to develop a proper balance between these two poles. In this chapter I was delighted to meet Duinhir's wife and I wonder whether this tale will cross over with the lovely story you wrote about the River Lord's homecoming after the Ring War. I do hope so. Well this week's typo to challenge the spell check is a particularly fine one. (At least I think it's a typo. Grins.) When you write "with the coming of spring to the Riddermark the treat of raids increased tenfold" I think perhaps you may have intended "threat". I am not sure you should correct this one. I have been giggling about it for days. Pryderi.

Elflingimp · 20 February 2008 · Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Gosh! I didn't know stallions did that but then I think all the male horses I've seen were gelded.I used to ride Show Horses when I was a kid. Anyway I really enjoyed this very long chapter, this story is so very interesting, I hope Dear old Umar gets his blankety blank kicked soon because I really hate him and Eomer what is he thinking? Will be waiting for more Hugs The Imp

Elflingimp · 2 February 2008 · Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Dear Lady Bluejay justed wanted you yo know how much I am enjoying your story, hope you update soon. Do you do about one chapter a month? I will put you in my favs Hugs The Imp

runnerbeast · 21 January 2008 · Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Great story! It really pulled me in. I love the adventures Lothiriel is going through, my heart really goes out to her, and I hope everything turns out ok. I felt so sorry for Eomer's friends, but I feel you are making everything so realistic there for a young man and leader. I can't wait for the next part!

Radbooks · 17 January 2008 · Chapter 6: Chapter 6

I started this last evening and I couldn't stop reading it! It was very intense. I hadn't read any of it before so it was all new to me, which is wonderful. Poor Lothiriel with losing her 'innocence' that way and having to be afraid all of the time now. It's so tough for her over those four years and then she meets, I think, Mithrandir, is my guess. Her poor family during that week and how they suffered. Eomer's struggles are not a lot of fun either, though in a totally different way. I do hope that his feels for Bergit will subside because that's not a good situation! Well done story and I look forward to the next chapter.

Bodkin · 4 January 2008 · Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Good for Eomer. A good use of a mirror. Now Edwick is getting over the sorry-for-himself stage, he should be OK - since is is brave and heroic and loving. And 'Seron' has plans for Lothiriel ... Somehow the vision of him meticulously arranging the little things, so that the big things have to flow along a path of his making is very, very Mithrandir.

Bodkin · 4 January 2008 · Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Well - I'm glad Lothiriel found a 'friend'. Who knows she's going to marry a blond from the North. (Although it'll take more than that knowledge to keep Mr Slime away from her. And Bergit needs a friend - so it's a good thing Eomer's there. He might not be able to foresee a need to be there so far ahead he needs to check what year it is, but he'll certainly be able to help to some extent.

Bodkin · 4 January 2008 · Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Elphir's might have learned diplomacy - but Lothiriel certainly hasn't. On the other hand, he might acquire a wife he's not too keen on, but he doesn't risk being sold for Gondor's benefit to a nasty perverted sadist of a man. And Eomer's coming on well.

Bodkin · 4 January 2008 · Chapter 2: Chapter 2

“A sword in the guts would be best,” Elphir murmured. There's a prince with a good grasp of diplomacy! (Not that he's wrong.) I think Lothiriel's ... mental powers ... will probably come in very handy at some point. Although Orion doubtless thinks they've already had their uses! As will the bolt-hole, I fear. Edwick is a good man.

Alquawende · 29 December 2007 · Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Poor Bergit! I would sink under all that work and the recent events. Eomer is so gallant to her and it makes me wish all men were like him. I'm glad though that her husband has gotten rid of his pride to make baskets. Reminds me of another story here at SoA. I like that Lothiriel won't be a spoiled princess. She'll learn what it's like to work and she won't be naive about the world which'll make her wiser hopefully. I enjoyed this chapter a lot! Thanks for writing!

Yanic · 29 December 2007 · Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Wow, I was just thinking about this story and lo and behold, an update! Loved it as usual. I like how Eomer is showing his leadership skills by setting an example for Edwick. And I also like all the foreshadowing you've got in there. Can't wait for more!

Alquawende · 16 December 2007 · Chapter 4: Chapter 4

>>>Éomer quickly unsaddled Fireball and installed him in the other stable; he’d come and groom him properly when he had found out what was going on. Do you mean Firefoot instead of Fireball? I love this so far. Now I have to wonder who that Seron person is... Is he a character introduced by Tolkien or an OC? How old is Lothiriel supposed to be in this and Eomer? Thanks for writing!
