Wow. The series of cause and effect that lead to this story is very… complex. And a bit confusing at times, but not bad.
Éowyn and Théodred are awesome! You write the Rohirric well.

Back in January, you said that you had more chapters to post. I hope you will remember to post them soon; this is an excellent story!

Well, this first chapter just whetted my appetite for more. Like that dadgum Balrog! You finished Darkness Falling with such an evil cliffie that I have been in despair awaiting the sequel. *sighs in relief* Chapter two is eagerly anticipated by your readers, Cloaked Eagle.

Interesting beginning. Looking forward to more.
