A beautiful and compellingly written story. And I love your strong Frodo. We definately get a foreshadowing of the strength that saw him up the face of Mount Doom.
And the big folk learned from this too. I think this summed it up for me.
“I have been so intent on this Quest, on accomplishing this mission, that I have forgotten what it is truly about,” Aragorn whispered. Gandalf’s slow tread took him to a spot slightly to the right and in front of the Ranger, who watched him with weary eyes.
“And what would that be, Aragorn?” Gandalf asked just as softly, not turning. He, too, seemed wrapped in his own thoughts and feelings of guilt.

“Saving all that we love and cherish.”
Bravo!
