oh -this is wonderful. Like poetry. That whole extended metaphor works really well - and the last line is spine tingling..

Wow. This is beautiful. I love all of the figurative language you use, especially the metaphors. And the description of Eowyn as a blade is actually quite apt. Your writing flows beautifully! I wish I could convey everything that you did in just a few sentences. But, as you can see, I'm rather wordy... xD

And wow, you actually made me feel bad for that despicable, slimy-tongued Grima...

Brilliant. Truly, truly brilliant. *glomp*

This is definitely an interesting concept. I never would have thought of pairing these two together or of Gimli with these feelings. I like your comparisons, it keeps true to his character. Good job.
