Show me a moment of gladness brought on by mercy and justice.

Beregond, when Aragorn made him captain of the Guard of Faramir-

Quote:

And Beregond, perceiving the mercy and justice of the King, was glad, and kneeling kissed his hand, and departed in joy and content.

Well done! My very choice.

Carry on, Fingolfin II!

Cheers Pio.

Can anyone find me a moment where someone was consumed by both wrath and fear?

I really should go to bed - it is 3 a.m. here . . .

But I can't resist!

Quote:

Then the Messenger of Mordor laughed no more, His face was twisted with amazement and anger to the likeness of some wild beast that, as it crouches on its prey, is smitten on the muzzle with a stinging rod. Rage filled him and his mouth slavered, and shapeless sounds of fury came strangling from his throat. But he looked at the fell faces of the Captains and their deadly eyes, and fear overcame his wrath . . .

And pardon if I quote overlong - but I love the way Tolkien brings the images to life with his choice of words and phrasings.

Good night!

Good example. I was thinking of Sauron when he finds out about his folly, but that'll do just fine.

How about a moment of despair followed by resolve . . .
