I admit that I share Eowyn's regret that Theodred didn't turn the sword edge down. Now, the puppet, errrm the king that is, in drugged haze sent his nephew to the dungeons, but hey we know the story, don't we? I loved how the cook and the rest fooled Grima. There were still decent people in the palace, probably most of them were very devoted to the king and his family. It's just that sometimes Grima and Co. steal the... hmmm... show Wink smiley face

Well done! Once again, a very good, captivating beginning.

How good to catch up with Gamling and Morwen; and learn of Gamling's family...

I have been playing catch-up with the whole series over the past year or so and now feel I know the characters so well that I am now seriously worrying about all of them all as battle approaches.

Eight of them? Now, Helm's Deep is going to be a really crowded place, literally and figuratively speaking. Smile smiley face

I'm very curious to see your take on the battle. Looking forward to reading more.

I am lost for words. Even after reading the chapter twice I am lost for words. I want to hug everyone of that so real family, especially Gelvar, I want to hug the oh so voluble Llily (whose panicked speech is just perfect) - and now, like Morwen, I wait...

Thank you so much for this wonderful story.

I think that the most powerful part of this chapter, and most memorable, is the last bit with Morwen's monologue. It's wonderfully done, and indicates that time kind of flew past the people waiting for the dawn, but also dragged on mercilessly.

Great job!

Oh my goodness - poor Lily, poor Bear... but then that is what war and battles are like. I do like Gevald who is so good with Lily, too.

There's always a kind of rift, IMO, after devastating things such as the battle of the Hornburg (or any other tragedy, I suppose -- this year's flooding that ruined a huge part of my country comes to mind, for example) -- the living have the right to go on, the dead need to be mourned. And most of the time it's too much to take, combined with the horrors one experienced. Poor Morwen. I hope she finds her way through all that.

Good stuff. Thank you Smile smiley face

Glad to see it continued.

Hurrah for another chapter, even though it is such a gut-wrenching chapter in it's honesty. Such, indeed, would the aftermath have been, I think.

I don't really know what was worse: to deal with the loss or to know that it wasn't the end of the war. You've done a great job of describing the aftermath of the battle. Thank you for updating Smile smiley face

This new chapter has everything. Uncertainty, overwhelming to the point of going breathless. Fear of what is to come (of both being alone and being together, again, IMO). Hope and love. And strength. Awesome chapter! Loved it.

Looking forward to reading more. As always.
