You make good use of an interesting object which, with its preserving and healing powers, presaged the Three rings. Great descriptions! I like part 3 the most.

Author Reply: Yes, the Elessar and its history is fascinating. I enjoyed writing this and I’m so glad you liked it!

Today, I was wrestling with how to made a story more concrete, more physical, more set in a material world. Reading this, I'm so impressed by how well you do it. Your description always serves a purpose, even though it's also beautiful in its own right. Well done.

Author Reply: Wow, Daw. Thank you! That kind of encouragement means a lot to me. I don’t have much experience writing, but, being somewhat artistic, I do tend to be a very visual person; maybe that has something to do with it. Thank you again!
