Beautiful! Brava! I liked this quite a lot -- Haleth's determination is inspiring, and it was so well expressed here. The planets/stars made a neat referrence point, too. Smile smiley face

Loved it!

I would count it as a success. After all, them challenge things are just, as the pirate code itself, more like guidelines. This piece speaks with her voice, which is strong. Of all Tolkien's women, I think Haleth is the most underappreciated. It's good to read her written so well and given the space to make her peace, hard though it was won.

I agree that Haleth seems a rather underrepresented heroine of the Tolkien universe, and I'm so glad to see your ficlet, because the voice you've given her underscores the reason why she became the leader of her people. Even in our times, it is sometimes hard to achieve, and she did that -- in spite of each obstacle -- with every sacrifice needed. Greatly done, Nancy, and thank you Smile smiley face

A challenge well met! I agree with the others about Haleth - I think Tolkien missed a great opportunity in not giving more attention to her character, and I very much enjoy how you picked up the slack. She may not wear the mantle of leadership easily - few of the good ones do - but she wears it well.

A wonderful piece. I am always awed with how you manage to bring out a new aspect of any character you write. The thoughts and feelings are so vivid, I feel as if I am in the story myself. I enjoy each new spin you give a character.

Very nice. I am not as familiar with the characters here, but I do appreciate the telling.

Thank you for sharing.
