Hands of the King

Ang,
If the last chapter was horrible, this one is sad. All the times when someone should have done X instead of Y, things that didn't seem such a big deal in the past, are showing their teeth. Poor Halmir! After all he has done for Thorongil, this happens. In some ways, what Denethor does to Ecthelion is as bad as what he did to Beruthiel because he *could* have taken that olive branch. Good for Aiavale, though. Denethor deserved that.

Heartbreaking. Denethor is so rigid and unyielding, and sure that his way is the only way. As you say, everything that happens later is already here.
Your Thorongil is excellent. It is good to see him portrayed as naif and needing to learn, rather than just appearing complete in his wisdom. He's had a very hard lesson.
Thank you.
