Oh! This was wonderful - I didn't know who was talking. The salutation and the response were wonderful!

Author Reply: One thing with getting reviews for something I wrote so long ago is that I have to go back and read it to remind myself why I posted it in the first place!

Poor Thranduil must have longed for news of his son after the terrible battles.

Ah, yes. I remember the first time I read that Greenwood also bore up against a terrible assault.

An excellent drabble. Very thoughtful.

Author Reply: Thank you, Karri. I hope the news eased Thranduil's sorrow.

Poor Thranduil. So much pain here. At least the letter relieves that worry - I doubt whether Legolas will have spent quite so much time worrying over his father's safety - a generational thing. Until, perhaps, he got to Minas Tirith.

Initially victories have a tendency to seem good - but then you see all the despair and destruction they leave in their wake. I suppose the only thing is that they are better than defeats.

Author Reply: I think Legolas would have worried - in 'The Passing of the Grey Company' he looks north-east and sees war approaching those lands.

Although the burning of the trees is terrible, Thranduil will replant new.

Oh I *really* like this one. I can just see it! Of course Thranduil would be afraid of what the urgent message might say. And the destruction of the forest must have torn his heart out.

Author Reply: Thranduil must have been desperately worried. He knew, better than most, what was at stake and the dangers invoved. And he would have known that Legolas would be in the thick of it. (There's no way he'd only go as far as 'the passes of the mountains'!)
