Oh. My. God.

Thy name is Celeborn! *worships His Holy Hunkitude*

This story needs a warning for excessive heat generation!

Oh, my! I seem to have missed a few chapters, so I got to read three new ones all at once!

Life is good.... Wink smiley face

So, Haleth is not her real name, like Inglor isn't his (main) name? Well, that's interesting.... Now you have me wondering even more about who she is!

I love how we see the beginnings of their life and travels together. She is wary, but, hey, if I were rescued and then nursed back to health by a blond Elf-lord, I wouldn't complain! hee hee hee

I love your Haleth and Inglor, Haleth! And look forward to whatever you write about them.

Thanks for the lovely gift!

Oh, my! What a contrast!

All the details you include help us to look through Imrahil's eyes and actually feel what he feels.

And the counting was just the thing a parent does....

Though he was separated from it by distance, Imrahil's acute observations help us feel Éomer's pain, too.

What a rich and compelling vignette! Great job!

Okay, I'm not sure what I expected... but it wasn't that!

LOL!

Very funny!

LOL! I don't usually write Aragorn, so there was really no way to know what to expect Smile smiley face

Oh, very powerful! I love the way you misdirect us into thinking we know which army the narrator fights with... only to have our perceptions turned on their heads at the end.

Beautifully descriptive language... and chilling!

Well done!

What a great idea! Your PoV character is right in the press of battle, and has a unique view of the events. Firefoot is a very wise Mearh, and is tolerant of the foibles of his Rider and his ilk.

I've written a couple of drabbles from the PoV of Felaróf, Eorl's Mearh, so have an appreciation for well-written horse sense. LOL!

Well done!

Thanks so much. This is the first time I've written from a horse's POV, so it was a challenge.

How heartbreaking!

Your language is so vivid I almost see through Éowyn's failing eyes, and feel her anguish that she won't even be welcomed as a warrior in the mist-shrouded halls of her forefathers.

This line just tore through my heart: "Cling to life, brother, not to me." Heart-wrenching....

Very well done!

Beautiful and powerful, Nancy!

It is amazing how much warfare is tied up with lies... lies about our enemy, lies about our destiny, lies about the glory of death....

You've exposed the hidden underbelly of belief and warrior believers....

Well done!

Oh, very powerful, Viv! Your Imrahil is not only perceptive, but also astute in his analysis of his observation of Éomer.

Nicely done!

I also meant to mention the well-crafted language you used in this drabble:

Phrases like 'meet in these mistrustful days', 'travelled far on unknown trails', and 'an open gate through which shadow might enter our realm' are so evocative, and convey so much in so few words — the mark of an author who appreciates drabbles as the word art they can truly be. Beautiful writing!
