I love this. I love the meeting between Legolas and Bregolas. I love how they are now all safe and heading home. I live how you have written all of this and I am excited for the chapters that I have yet to read.

Bregolas and his company now have first hand knowledge of the evil that has returned. They will have to cede the outer reaches of Mirkwood to the spiders and orcs. He has a really good relationship with his captains. They give him good advice and tease him as well. It must make his lfe a little easier to know they have his back.
All these resources being used to bring the lost ones home. Elves never give up when it comes to finding their own. At least they knew they still had hope through Lathron's visions.
At the camp they find evidence of men and orcs that have camped together. I could never get a handle on that although it is definitely canon. Despite Balak, Ban and Hazad I would like to think men are better than that. Maybe I'm not as cynical as I think I am.
Hazad never accepted responsibility for his actions. How modern of him. He went to his death blaming Tathiel. He never truly got the better of her and that must have galled him so much. The elves never even discuss him or what happened to him. It really is over now.
So now we are on a long camping trip so that the younglings can acclimate to communal living. This is especially good for Legolas because he has no frame of reference. He is a very friendly elfling especially when everyone dotes on him so much.
Oh dear they have found a prime ambush spot and go back on a battle footing. And get surrounded and everyone has to fight. Tinania can now kill orcs with her bow and arrow. At least she can protect herself but it's said that she has to do this at such a young age.
That was a bad battle almost everyone is hurt but they were saved in the nick of time. Not by one group of warriors but by two groups. And Tinania shot the prince. She'll never live that down and neither will he.
As far as Bregolas meeting his brother. It was so sweet and not all tears are from grief. I think a wizard told me that once.
Oh poor Meren. Shot in the posterior. She isn't going to live this down either. And Tinania will break all her records in archery. That's OK Meren. I get the distinct feeling you can distinguish yourself in battle. With shadow back there will be many battles to fight.
What is the first thing Legolas will do when he gets home is meet ada. Lathron has told him ada is waiting for him. You can bet the farm on that one. They can't wait to get him home.
Well onward to home and ada and the siblings. This will be such a wonderful homecoming for everyone.
