May the Valar Protect Them  by Nilmandra 1 Review(s)
rgbjReviewed Chapter: 10 on 1/7/2004
The elves are so out of there. So Tathiel is hoping that this gives Balak a way out, a way to save face. I wonder if it would have or just made him so angry he would have stopped at nothing to get back at her. At least we won't know now. He won't be able to do anything at all. Too bad she doesn't know this. She could get home much faster.
What a good elfling Legolas is. So quiet and content. And they have a nice horse even if it isn't elven. So much rests on Tathiel's shoulders. Always having to think ahead to the future and plan things out. I know the elleth will do all they can but she is the adult elf here. The trees will help. I always enjoy when a writer uses the link that wood elves especially have with trees. These trees haven't seen elves in a long time. Elves used to be everywhere but they have gone to the West or the Hall of Waiting or retreatedd to an elven stronghold. Sad loss for the trees. All men do is chop them down they can't talk to trees or appreciate them much except for their practical uses.
The little novice warrior is going to go hunting. She is very resourceful. Now frsh meat is back on the menu.
So nice for them to look forward to telling the Queen about little Legolas. Being elves they will never forget. The elleth are so sweet.
Blueberry and rabbit stew sounds horrible to me but I am not an elf.
If Tathiel only knew the men were dead she could have chosen a faster way home.
Now for Ban and retribution. How does Rawien recognize that clasp? Could he possibly have been paying more than the usual attention to Tathiel? Oh I think so.
Nothing in Ban's fears prepard him for four angry elves hovering over him.
OK Balak and his men are no more. They have lost a lot of men now in the village as well. That is a bad thing. The more hunters you have the better you eat in the winter when you need them the most.
So one horse went east, one west and the rest south. I think Tathiel went west so they are going in the exact opposite direction. Well they are doing the bet they can to find the lost ones with the information at hand.
If Ban only had let them go he would have been shown mercy. Not Balak and his men but at least Ban would have.
Oh no a rockslide. We have them in my area and they are bad. This is what Ethiwen felt.
