Oh no. And here I thought Truva wasn't eating enough in the last part of the story. These poor people, but also, a very realistic consequence of war.
Oh, good! Someone is trying to feed Truva again.
Some premonition bade Truva arm herself heavily. good idea, Truva. I'm sensing some danger, too. After what you've been through, you might as well just bring the whole armory.
Loved how at home Truva felt up in the trees with the wild men. They were so grateful and kind. And they gave her food! Good stuff.
Curious about the letter hmmm. I will have to wait and find out.
Nice start to the story! Glad Truva didn't need to use all of her weapons. Well, not yet anyway.
Yeah, I didn't want to write a post-canon sequel that started off with, "And then everything was all rainbows and sunshine and all hunky-dory," even if conflict was going to arise later! Entire kingdoms were devastated; Sauron and Saruman's forces went scorched earth in its original sense. There's no way these people didn't have a devastating winter.
(But ultimately this chapter is just a bit of an in medias res introduction that serves exclusively to establish circumstances in which Truva would feel comfortable embarking on what comes next. Because you just KNOW if there's trouble at home, that's where she'd perceive her duty to be. Plus, I just love the Wild Men 🤣)
Yeah, that would not have felt right. This was much better, and felt a lot more realistic. I have enjoyed watching them go through the recovery phase. The devastating winter makes so much sense!
Yeah, man, the Wild Men are great! Glad they got screen time.
