May the Valar Protect Them  by Nilmandra 1 Review(s)
rgbjReviewed Chapter: 17 on 1/9/2004
Elves are so clever to figure out so much from so little in the way of information.
Off on a wild goose chase again. I feel so sorry for the rescuers. So close and yet no closure for them.
The human messenger gets to see the king and his palace-cave. This is a real red letter day for him. And then he gets to see a group of fully outfitted warriors in a gallop. He will get free drinks at the inn for a long time on the strength of this.
Oh everyone is so excited they are really going to feel let down. So much work to make the returnees feel at home again. This was painful to read since we know what is in store for them.
The rescuers are correct, something is not right.
Again the elves are very clever to figure out what in all probability happened. So again a long journey by a lot of elves to gain back their lost ones. They are a persistent bunch. Good thing too.
I did like the healer saying that all elves looked alike to him. He was funny.
Poor Tathiel. From the frying pan into the fire.
This was a very exciting chapter from a standpoint of seeing how elves operate.
