This is so great, Nancy. You've done an outstanding job with conveying the elusive voice of powerful and enigmatic beings such as the Maiar. Perfect! My hat's off to you.

So brutally gut wrenching. I can't help but feel sorry for these two. The ending line just punched me in the gut. What a sad image.

Great writing!

This was brilliant Nancy. I love the style of writing in this plus you described the wizards so wonderfully. Much better than thinking they just 'got lost' as some accounts would say or that they had been corrupted in the East as well.

Spectacular. Bottom-of-the-ocean deep/heavy and textury. Edible syntax and flow. Very special view. Very Tolkien feel.

What more to say?

Best! Ingole

I keep coming back to re-read this story, but am nowhere nearer to accepting its unsettling ending.

Alatar and Pallando; Pallando and Alatar: Such a strange beat to this; suits those alien creatures well.

Expect to come back to read again, and worry, and wonder...

Great job!

I really love the repetition of their names that goes back and forth throughout this - it gives it such a tense feel. Very good!
