Drabble series "Your Heart's Desire"

The Ring talks to the Fellowship during the Quest. I do not think it only tempted poor Boromir. I was reading a Quora thread that bothered me becuase it placed so much blame on Boromir and said that Tolkien didn't like him either. Ok that is a whole new post in which i take team!Boromir and can defend him, but the email is here if anyone wants to

These are wonderful, and are so true to how the Ring would whisper and persuade. I especially like "You will not be left behind", because I do believe that was Merry's greatest motivation.

One of the reasons I enjoyed writing the story "Whispers of the Dragon" was that I could explore the slow, subtle, and almost unnoticed effect of the Ring on Boromir. That story shows my great love and respect for him.

thanks so much! I actually like my Merry one most but i didn't know what to write in the beginning haha.

I would love to reread that story! Thanks for mentioning it. :hugs:

Some Shire package will come to you tomorrow. :)

I do think Aragorn was also tempted, twice at least in the movie, anyway. Once when the orca swarmed the hillside where Aragorn told Froso to run and he fought alone until joined by Legolas and Gimli. Secondly, at the black gates before the battle at Pelenor. I haven't reread the books for a few years and don't recall how it was.

yes, movie verse i think the Ring did speak to him but then he told Frodo "I would have followed you, even to the very fires of Mordor" which was in the "Departure of Boromir " chapter when he told Legolas and Gimli that he would do that.

Peter Jackson had an interesting EE palantir scene which may have included the Ring to tempt Aragorn. I'm sure the Ring did "talk" to Aragorn too.
