i finally read it! and i loved it :)

This is a great story! You have portrayed Aragorn well, and I like the idea of having a young Ranger experiencing these emotions of disappointment of doubt; this way, it´s very vividly imaginable how Aragorn himself has felt in his early Ranger days.

Well done!

I loved it!
God Bless!

What a nice way to end this story. Makes me wonder exactly what I miss. Sorry to be so short, but I must be away. Keep on writing!

M.B.

What a lovely story. Poor Trestan, he got to see the worst and the best of outsiders behavior toward Rangers. I loved the way you characterize Aragorn in this tale. He is a true leader.

Aw... poor Aragorn. *hugs him* Great work, another great chapter. Keep it up!

I somehow missed this story, and just found it now. I really enjoyed it. You've written a very poignant and portrayal of the life of the Arnorian Rangers.

Thank you for writing it. It's so rare to see a well writen story about the Dúnedain of the North.

:It's a long one, so watch out!:

Chapter Two! Huzzah! Another interesting chapter; I think you are shaping your characters very nicely. Of course we all know how Aragorn is, but to bring in two new characters at once is not always a walk in the park, if you take my meaning. I think Trestan is going to be a character you can have some fun with, mess around, y'know? And I like Dagoin's personality, the big tough guy who turns out to be a softy (it sounds kind of...fluffy when I say it like that...ah well). The big brother of the group kind of thing. I also liked that he used the word 'lad' so much (I know: irrelivant, but it came to my mind, so I thought I'd say so). I was kind of wondering if there would be a battle scene going on in this chapter (please??), but even as there was not there was not lack of excitement. Where did you get the idea of a fire? Interesting.
Maybe they will get some kind of respect or recognition from this strange turn of events? Surely they cannot just sit and watch a village burn to the ground? I wonder what started it...

I'm glad to see that my prodding wasn't too hard or too much. I am very impressed with this new chapter, keep up the excellent
writing zen you have now!

p.s. don't be afraid to throw some dwarves in there or something, they always make for some interesting conversations don't they? Ah what am I saying, I'm sure you know what you want to do. Like I said: it came into my head, and so I said it. And one more thing: we got new snare drums! YES! Happy Writing!

(smirks evilly) the village people are going to blame the Rangers for putting it on fire, aren't they?

keep going!

OH dear valar. Things are already going wrong. I can't wait to see what happens next!

That's a cliffhanger! Will our daring Dunedain ride to the rescue? Will the villagers change their minds when they actually *need* the Rangers? Tune into the next chapter!

Which I hope comes along quickly. Very nice job!

Hey now, I was excited to see what the adventures next chapter would bring, but I was dissapointed. I understand that writing books is not always pony rides in the May sunshine, but you must continue! Let your story unfold however you wish and be persistent! You are the ruler of this small world, so rule! Do not be one of the subjects over which you reign! FIGHT! LIVE! TAKE CHARGE! Nalye i Heruparma! Linvanya man cenich!

(Thou art the Lord of Books! Sing new what do you see! *It isn't the best speech structure, but I don't use much of it*)

This is my best as an inspirational speech being as how I don't know you or vise versa, but I still meant it!

You never do get used to it. The Rangers have my thanks, for what it's worth... it looks very good. Keep working on it!

I thought this was a nice look at what the Rangers have to go through, and the different reactions of the three of them seemed quite realistic.

More, please.

There aren't many ranger stories I've seen (or cared to read) as of yet, so your story was kind of refreshing. I am curious to see how the three fare. How sad it is that the Dunadain should be treated in that manner! They do all the work and get only rejection and arrogance. They'll see, won't they? HA! Um, anyway, it was pretty simple and cool, so I'll be checking in to see how things are progressing in a week or two. Hope there's lots of inspiration at your disposal.
