Dear little Ori. He will not only get it right, but he'll write great tomes one day.

He will! I hope his book got out of Moria, apparently it's unclear if it makes it. :(

Argh.
"And behind them always could they hear-"
The way it's not quite stated is so effective. So tragic.
They are good words though, in the end.

They are, they really, really are. It gives me chills to read them.

*grin* I'm so glad you caught where Ori's writing breaks off, you make my day.

Ah, Ori! Yes, it's hard to find the right words.

Someday...

someday...*sniffle*

He will find the perfect words, and will haunt generations of readers. *snuggles Ori*
