Regular vote, like so:

++ Chyrsophylax Dives

And yes, that is my vote. Dragon power, all the way.

Celeborn?

Celeborn is a mighty warrior and great wise strategist of high Telerin pedigree. Alf is more of a generically mysterious cook. If he's any Elf from the Lord of the Rings, it's Gildor Inglorion.

At least Chyrsophylax puts up an interesting character, one that the reader can enjoy. Alf is pretty much boring- almost as boring as Goldberry.

Not a real dragon...humph!

Out of all of Tolkien's dragons, he's the only one that made it to the end of the story.

Now that we're down to the FINALS, I'm changing up my strat, and voting for who I really want to win. He IS the most interesting of the three, and he's smart enough to know that he can outlast ol' Giles and go back to his hills and get his treasure back, ... not to mention give a certain stewpid Giant a tongue lashing, tail lashing, and general whoop-on.

So thanks, everybody, so far, for playing into my ultimate plan. And you all thought I wanted Smith to win.....

I've given this some thought.

Both of the candidates (Smith and the Queen of Faerie) I would have wanted to take the title are gone. I'm left with the following choice:

Goldberry: Just doesn't strike me as a winner for the competition. Marrying Tom after he kidnapped her and all that.

Alf: I know you want me to vote for him, Ang. But I thought it over, and I just don't see him as a Celeborn model. And he still has the same name as the furry alien that I can't stand the sight of. Sorry, but I can't vote for him.

Chrysophylax: Not my favorite dragon, as I said a couple of times before. But at least he's more interesting than Goldberry and isn't a synonym for an obnoxious extraterrestrial. Kuru also makes him interesting.

So, though it's with a heavy heart that mourns the loss of the Queen and Smith, I vote for:

++ Chrysophylax Dives
