Awww thank you!!! Very vivid imagery - I never really thought too much about the lure of the Palantir other than a way to be all control freaky. But it is probably like the Silmarils and having that seductive/magnetic pull. I love this! *hugs*

You're welcome! And thanks for the review. Smile smiley face Oddly enough, this one came to me while watching an episode of "Fringe"...

Ohhh, excellent! A great portrayal of an addict that cannot see, or doesn't want to see, the danger until it's too late. And a fine gift for a friend Smile smiley face Bravo!

I loved this.You capture Denethor perfectly and his ill fated obsession.

Thanks! I've discovered that Denethor can be a lot of fun in the right mood...

Very nicely done, Vlad. Of course, the addiction always seems extremely sensible, at first, and makes the user feel powerful - until they become powerless, of course. You caught that perfectly here.

The Gondorians seemed to have inherited the Numenorean desire to know more than they should and I like how you captured that with Denethor and the palantir.
