Nice, Vilwarin. Very interesting parallel you've made here. I like the idea of a decisive Aragorn - although I realize this could apply to any of the Chieftains.

of course the assumption is the One Ring - what a wonderful, terrible, chilling parallel ... and how very insightful.

It's interesting to think of, the Ring of Barahir being an Elven ring, made by one of the great Noldorin Lords, and even older than the One Ring and the others in that set, (IIRC) ... what power it might hold, the Oath of Finrod, who was able to stand, for a time, against Sauron with only his voice and his words in defense.

Oh, nice twist, Wilwarin! You really had me caught in the wrong assumption, right until the last phrase.... Well done!

Excellent twist! There I was, thinking 'Oh dear, she's gone and bent Aragorn all out of shape and made him snatch the One Ring,' but I couldn't have been more wrong. Great drabble; I loved it!

Very cleverly done. I like it.
