Oh Binks, this is just brilliantly written. What a fight and so amazingly, if not eerily (in the very good sense) written from Carcharoth's perspective. Perfect pacing, perfect tension, action, angst and the bits in between coming from the elves and Beren added to it beautifully!

Wow! This was really unique and wonderful. I've from so many points of view, many of various monsters, but I can't remember ever reading Carcharoth before and you handled him brillantly.

Wow Binka. What a story. You really got into the wolf's head and thats a little scary lol This was brilliantly written. I'm just in awe. You've come so far over the years it just continues to amaze me.

This story gripped me from the wolf's first line! Wow! This is amazing work. I love the POV as well. Seeing it from the wolf's eyes adds such intensity to this story.

I am deeply impressed. I couldn't write something this good in ONE language, let alone two! This is a great contribution to the challenge.

I've still got chills from reading that! Wonderfully done. The details from the wolf's POV were wonderfully gruesome. I really liked the way it moved from the wolf's thoughts to the dialogue between the king and his men.
I don't know much about these characters from the Silmarillion, and I tend to view them as distant, mythical heroes. but you really brought them to life for me.

Wow! What an excellent exercise in point of view. Your sensory details were amazing, reminding me with every sentence that the wolf was a physical beast first. I also loved this line: "Bloodied foam covered the battlefield." Exquisite action scenes.
