Ah so, I'm sorry, I thought there should be "hide" (that would make sense, too :). Old English is a bit too much for me...

Author's Response: No problem!  Current English is challenging enough, isn't it! LOL  But sometimes I do like the feel of an old English word and that one you still hear, a bit tongue-in-cheek usually, in conversation today.

 After the slower part straight into the action! It looks that Aragorn is far from fine, and getting unreasonable besides that. Good that he's not alone...

I found a typo: "you will hie thyself"



Author's Response:

Thanks again, Mirach!  Yes, you're right... Aragorn is far from fine, most definitely.  And it really is just as well, isn't it, that he never has been alone throughout this story, much as I think he might have wanted to be at times.

And "hie" isn't a typo... it's 12th century (or thereabouts) English for "hasten" or "go quickly".  I don't use too much old English but sometimes there's a phrase that just seems to fit the situation and that was one of them.

Thanks for the review!

Ack!! A cliffhanger!!!! Ok, for awhile there, I thought Aragorn was going to be captured by the Nazgul! I'm also enjoying the banter between Halbarad and Aragorn, oh my, those two! I love how you write your action sequences too!

Author's Response: Yeah, I'm afraid cliffhangers will abound from here on out! LOL  But I'm glad you liked the chapter... no, Aragorn didn't get captured by the Nazgul--he's got enough troubles without something like that happening!  Yikes.   I'm glad you like the action... I probably enjoy writing action scenes far too much. ;)   Thanks for the review!
