*grins* I like the dynamics between your Eomer and Lothiriel. And I am so very glad that Legolas has a sense of humor! He didn't in the movies, and he should have. The archery tournament is quite enjoyable thus far. I hope to see more of this story soon!

Definitely a story with potential. Your Eomer is a very well thought through character, mature and manly ; Lothiriel comes across a bit girlish and immature, but she is rather young I suppose. I'm looking forward to the continuation. Will Lothiriel and Legolas succeed to cheat at the archery tournament?

Thank you all very much for your kind comments. Since this is my first attempt at writing a story I very much appreciate to hear what you like or don't like about it.

I'll try to update regularly, but English isn't my native language, so I'm rather a slow writer.

Well, bear with me and I hope you enjoyed the archery tournament.

Lia

Wow, English is not your native language? I never would have guessed!

I love the comparison of Eomer to a mumakil. It suits him. And the falcon suits Lothiriel. I especially liked the part about "I pity the man who make you his wife." Those sorts of lines are the best. Very Happy smiley face Keep this story coming! Sere mi Eru...LSoA

Bravissimo! That archery competition was brilliantly written, I held my breath several times (and the argument between Lothiriel and Éomer was not bad either... Smile smiley face ) Wonderful, wonderful story!

Oh, I just loved the new chapter! The archery contest was a joy to read and you had me biting mynails half-way through it! Your Lothíriel is simply wonderful and Eomer follows closely behind. I simply can't wait to read of what is coming up next! Very Happy smiley face

The archery contest was very well written, detailed but not long-winded, instead exciting!
When it comes to Lothiriel I have to side with Eomer: she is a spoiled brat, not a swan or even a falcon but rather a scolding magpie.

One short additional note:
Mûmakil is plural; Mûmak singular; one Mûmak and many Mûmakil

Delightful dialogues, as always. And now I'm really looking forward to the next chapter! What will happen next? An attack of Haradrim? Of orcs?

I'm not sure what it is about this story, that makes me wait impaitiently for an update, perhaps it is that the characters feel like real persons, or perhaps it is your fluent use of the english language, I don't know. What I do know is that I am anxiously waiting for another update. I can't keep from wondering how such ill tempered characters will manage to rule the kingdom of Rohan. Smile smiley face My compliments for a well thought out story so far.
