Red Blade

When Tom Bombadil gave me my sword I felt awkward with it, like I was playing at Heroes and Dragons the way that lads do while their chores are waiting.

When Boromir offered to teach me to use my sword I was nervous, but pleased with the lessons in case they might prove useful.

When Aragorn returned my sword to me at Isengard I was grateful and glad to feel the weight of it again on my belt where it belonged.

When Eowyn stumbled my sword was in my hand and I struck without a thought.

I miss my sword.

Hmm... yummy, and sad, too.

Now, how about Sting?

My goodness, you are a master of the short, to-the-point piece. How can you span so much time, and so many emotions in so few words? Fantastic.

First you write it, then you edit it, then you write it, then you edit it, then you change the entire concept because you suddenly think of a brilliant last line...

Thanks!

He's been a busy bunny in my head lately... I wonder why?

Thanks

Merry has learned to use his sword well. I am smitten.

thank you. I'm pretty smitten by your latest chapter too, and will have to reread it before I am coherent enough to comment.

Thank you

LOL!

This is great -- Merry's history in one drabble. He would miss it, wouldn't he? It marked so many transitions in his life.

Eomer probably gave him a new one, but it wouldn't have the same heft and feel would it?

thank you

Oooh, I really liked this. I read it last night but didn't have time to comment, so I came back today.

There is such an effective, clear development of Merry's feelings, and such a simple, matter-of-fact comment at the end which shows both his attachment, but lack of dependency on it.

Nicely done! :)
